Casa Bendicion is a joy. We rented a golf cart for the whole week and after a few hours on the bustling, noisy north end (where our favorite place for tacos was also the least expensive: Los Burritos), we’d stop by Cafe Mogagua for icy coffees and zoom back down south. Stepping through the gates of Playa al Mar always felt like we were returning to our own private heaven—quiet and peaceful, the view of the sunset from either the balcony or the pier was unbeatable. The pool and grounds were sparkling clean and the staff was fantastic and friendly. With two teenagers in tow, it was great to have three bedrooms—they shared the room with the king and the twin for sleeping and we used the bunk room as a walk-in closet. Between the pier, the pool, and the well-stocked game closet, nobody was ever bored. (Another valuable perk was the drinking water dispenser! Food tips: take-out pizza from Oscar’s is a great choice for those nights when you want to stay in, and breakfast at Cafe Mango is indeed as delicious as everyone says.) I’m writing this on the plane home to Indiana and I already want to go back to Casa Bendicion.
