Weather good and hot, very dry area, average temp 25C, stayed at the farllon complex,up on hill about 1 km from main complex,staff very nice,no elevator in a 3 floor building, swim up pool bar was a first for me, very nice,you notice people can drink a lot and never need a toilet?, average age of the people a the farllon was 60yr olds, at the main complex marea del portillo it’s 70yr olds.

Arrival:
small airport, you walk off the plain onto the tarmac,i think the only international flights they ever get are from toronto and montreal, and only on thursday, so you are stuck there till next thursday. then you get on a bus and 1.5 hr trip on the worst roads you ever been on. so hope you don’t need a toilet to often.
Rooms:
nice room, 2x 3/4 beds,wonderful view, my maid Mary BELL was wonderfull,but the pillow on the 2nd bed was never there .a few maintance issues, the railing on the balcony didn’t feel very stong, the drain in the shower didnt work most of the time.
Restaurants and Bars:

Beach/Pools/Grounds:
pool was clean and fun to be around.
