We had an awesome time at Mar Azul 1B with friends from SA! We loved this house and it worked so well for our group of 12! The only issues we had were with the one dear cat, Ginger, who lives at the house. As sweet as he is, he is constantly underfoot and begging for food. He also cried and complained all night , which was slightly disruptive to sleep! On the day we departed, the cleaning staff were in very early and cleaning around us and stripping beds, while we were trying to have a last coffe and pack up. I feel that if check out is at 10am then they need to be less intrusive until that time. I was the last to leave at 10.05 ..... and did not enjoy feeling 'hassled'. But overall a fabulous stay, and we would certainly stay again and recommend to fellow expats.
