The food package provides a huge breakfast and midday meal. You're on your own for supper, but it's usually not a problem rustling up something from leftovers. The food package will provide virtually unlimited beer, soft drinks and bottled water as well as all the guacamole, chips and other snacks. Wine and liquor can be purchased at the Gate House. IMPORTANT: The pool is unheated. Due to the high cost of propane, heating the pool will cost an additional $250. USD/week. The maid provides laundry service for personal items given to her in the morning. No laundry service Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday (the maid is off Saturday 1PM - Monday 8 AM), The laundry room is a private space


Further Details for the villa in Mexico

Surfing, Sea Turtles and Shore Birds: Punta el Custodio offers some of Mexico's best surfing at just 100 yards from your door! If you are an experienced and knowledgeable surfer, you probably already know about this 'secret' beach. If you're a beginner or just like to boogey-board, the sandy bottom adds an extra measure of safety, but make sure to check the tide table! When the tide is flowing out, the currents can be dangerous! Tide tables are available. Are you an eco-tourist? Turtle Beach (Playa Las Tortugas) is right at the base of the Point. In season, you can watch endangered sea turtles lay their eggs in the sand, and if you time your visit right, you can help release hundreds of turtle hatchlings, at night, to protect them from predators and poachers. The estuary along the south edge of the Point leads to a vast mangrove swamp, whose mud flats are so thickly covered with shorebirds that when they take wing, the sky is briefly darkened. We call it the Srengheti of Birds.

Huichol Petroglyphs, Crocodile Farm, Waterfalls: Interested in Meso-American pre-history? Visit the Huichol petroglyphs just 45 minutes away. The ruins end in a mystical stream-head sculpted out by the waters over millions of years, and etched with ancient Huichol petroglyphs. Present-day Huichols venerate the site, and you will find fresh offerings of figurines left on the rocks. Or visit the nearby crocodile farm or the famed La Tovara waterfalls. Punta el Custodio offers some of Mexico's best surfing at just 100 yards from your door! If you are an experienced and knowledgeable surfer, you probably already know about this 'secret' beach. If you're a beginner or just like to boogey-board, the sandy bottom adds an extra measure of safety, but make sure to check the tide table! When the tide is flowing out, the currents can be dangerous! Tide tables are available.

Electronic Amenities/Bugs/Birds/Animals: There are none! So bring your own iPod, compact iPod stereo system, DVD player and so forth. The sea air literally eats electronics alive if one leaves components year-round, so we don't, rather than promise them only to have our guests find them so corroded that they won't work! As for communications, your cellphone may or may not work at Casa Coilibri. The Gate House has a reliable cell phone with roof-mounted antenna for emergencies. There is an Internet cafe in Zacualpan, 20 minutes away. Some of the houses at the Point have intermittent satellite Internet access, but do not come expecting that you'll have on-site internet: this is rural Mexico. A few words of caution: Punta el Custodio is a jungle: full of birds, butterflies, iguanas, raccoons -- and bugs, particularly in the summer and fall. There is also the occasional small scorpion. So if you are squeamish about living with nature, stick to an air-conditioned hotel suite in Puerto Vallarta. If you are not, bring bug dope.
