My upcoming trip in February that I booked in November was pretty much identical in price to last years stay. I always book with a superhost and avoid pricey cleaning fees etc via Airbnb. To try and avoid the dogs and music, I elected to stay in Perla Marina this year. For sixty days it worked...

I agree. At times I nail down a favorite and the next time I go, it is not the same at all. Going to dine out can be iffy.

After arriving back in Canada, been back around a week, I obviously fell prey to a card reader at Bank of Santa Cruz Pedro Clisante 25 ATM. Mega attempts to use my card info at grocery stores, liquor stores etc. All failed so I'm not out anything. Just a heads up to be wary and bring cash only...
