Casa Margarita is amazing. We met Bill, the property manager, and he took the time to show us around town. He's one of the nicest people we've ever had the privilege to meet.
The house is big, spacious, lovely...big bedrooms, huge outdoor patio, nice pool! The AC in the bedrooms really wasn't required, but it was nice. The pool was so much fun, and the iguanas would lounge around it in the morning. There wasn't one thing we didn't love about Casa Margarita! We had monkeys, macaws, iguanas, coatimundis, etc. come to visit us! And if you have the energy, the walk to town and back is fun, but do it early before it gets hot.
Playa Samara is wonderful - people are friendly, the little shops have everything you need, there's a local fish market, and a great little meat shop. The beaches are incredible - and Playa Carillo was our favorite spot each evening to watch the sun set and play in the waves. We visited Playa Garza - and had an amazing lunch at the little fish restaurant there - they are the nicest family! Then we bought Mahi fillets just down the road from there - really fresh and were great on the BBQ!
Casa Margarita is beautiful, and we'll be back to stay here next year!
