After reading all the 5 star reviews, I was nervous staying here, as my expectations were ridiculously high. Well let me tell you, not one lie was told. Puerta Azul is an amazing space with beautiful bungalows on a even more beautiful beach. Admittedly, if you are looking for a more lively vacation, this location is not for you but perfect for a nice relaxing, book reading vacation. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Breakfast was simple and delicious. The staff are amazing, special kudos to Rose and Wilma. Augusta was extremely patient and answered all of our questions and was so kind to call around to different places to get us the right information. My friend and I also had the pleasure of meeting Talia, who was super sweet and also very helpful with questions. Overall, it was a great stay and I would definitely stay here again. Puerta Azul is about 3 miles (10 min taxi) to West Bay, which is where all the bars and restaurants are. This is perfect is you want a quiet sleep but still want close access to nightlife. Tips You cannot flush any paper down the toilet, just want to prepare you in advance for that adventure The beach is not swimmable by the shore because there is a lot of moss and sea**** but i have heard its a snorkeling paradise further out Bring bug spray!
