Trying to decide between these two. Mango Moon has a partial ocean view room for $95 and includes breakfast.
Villas Nicolas has a beautiful room for $115 but I dont think they do breakfast.
Again, this is traveling with my 79 year 'young' mom so being with walking distance of groceries and restaurants will be important.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

You are not within walking distance from Mango Moon with your mom , it would be a good uphill hike to closest restaurants . Villas Nicolas is next door (literally ) to Si Como No , there are a couple of restaurants here . Not far from Villas Nicolas as well is Karolas , Cafe Milagro , Barba Roja , and a few others . But .... , the road is narrow with no real edge and big buses !! Keep in mind that cabs are inexpensive to flag down roadside . Both are very sweet and charming places . I would say Villas Nicolas would be the most convenient with your mom .

Faithie,
Your suggestions are really appreciated. This is the type of information that's hard to find in any travel book. Thanks so much!

Costa Verde has restaurants on the premises ..... ( Anaconda and La Cantina is just across the road )

Hi Faithie,
I checked out Costa Verde II. It also looks very nice. Both Costa Verde II and Villas Nicolas don't offer air conditioning. Will it be needed in July? I think V. Nicolas said they may be able to add some air conditioning for extra charge.
Thanks much!

Well , in our efficiency room we actually had air co. but only used the fan in the end ...... We found it fine . Does the heat and humidity normally bother your mom at home in the summer ?
