My husband, myself, our two kids(6 and 12), my bestfriend and her niece, stayed from the 29th -5th of July...The rental is beautiful....beautiful view, beautiful granite & stone throughout the condo and really, just a beautiful property...the entire time we visited La Salina, the weather was overcast with low fog(most days, we could barely see past the dock), windy, rainy and quite cold and grey...We had no idea since we checked the weather 4-5 days in advance and it didn't say anything other than sunny and warm...the caretakers, whom are amazing and so friendly, told us, normally, it's nice and sunny but a hurricane was landing further South which was affecting our weather there...Our children managed to not let the weather ruin the trip and swam in the ocean and the pool(the pool and the hot tub are not heated(we were told the hot tub used to be heated but it was broken and not fixed so it was incredibly cold the entire time) although, shivering and purple lipped, they would have loved to be able to "warm up" in the hot tub if it had worked...We understand that the hosts don't have anything to do with the weather, it just would have been nice to 'thaw' out after swimming since the weather didn't cooperate...the largest of the issues we had was: the refrigerator didn't cool anything...if we'd have known that, we would have put those perishables in the freezer that could go, and, not bought as much fruit and meat and milk as we did, as we lost almost all of it due to a barely functioning refrigerator...we spent over 400 dollars on groceries and lost most of it due to the fridge...I texted the host of the fridge and he replied back, his wife and him would be down, later in July for some enjoyment and to take care of maintenance items... we were hoping he offered to reimburse or ask if we'd lost anything,(I also didn't understand the depth of what we'd lost at that time or, I would have said something more drastic in the text and would have informed them right then how imperative it was, if I'd known but, my friend was the one who'd done all the cooking)there were a few other minor issues that did not impact our trip as much as the fridge and were more inconsequential compared to that...we're a family who loves to travel the world often and we're looking for a rental that can become a yearly vacation spot in Mexico for our family and, we're hoping we have just found it...We'll be back and hopefully, to better weather(fingers and toes crossed)
