Upon arrival to a very clean home the guests rearranged all of the furniture. In addition they cut up our new dish towels as they wanted smaller towels. A full upper cabinet in the kitchen was unloaded of dishes, etc. so that the guest could use it as a pantry. A pantry already existed in a below counter 360 degree swivel cabinet which apparently was not utilized. The floors and counters were mopped and cleaned the day of arrival as is done with all guests. Tatiana did accidentally forget to empty the dishwasher however all items in it were clean. The floors and counters only became dirty once the guests started cooking in the kitchen. We do provide housekeeping service every other day of each stay and the house was definitely in need of cleaning for each service. As the former manager of over 25 homes on the island I can personally say that the kitchen in Casa Layla is the most well-stocked kitchen by far I’ve ever been in. Every pot, pan, utensil and serving dish is available including a full set of outdoor dining items. Salt and pepper are next to the stove however we do not provide other perishable goods. We do provide paper towels for all of our guests as well as cleaning supplies, towels and linens. The grocery stores in San Pedro all sell small quantities of spices, oil, etc as they know many people are only shopping for a week. In addition Tatiana, our caretaker, offered to go shopping for the guests to make it easier for them. Tatiana offers this to all of our guests and most if not all of them take her up on it. There is also a grocery store about a mile south of the house, Mata Grande, which offers online ordering and delivery service. Casa Layla has a great outdoor kitchen with swim up bar. I’m only aware of one other private home on the island with a feature quite like this. The guests are correct in that one item (the outside bar refrigerator was not working) but was rectified as soon as we were made aware of the situation. The grill was used daily by the guests. There is also a sink in this outdoor kitchen so it’s easy to rinse dishes, hands etc while cooking. We would kindly ask you to read our previous reviews that cover the last four years. We have enjoyed hosting many guests and do everything we can to ensure their stay with us at Casa Layla is enjoyable and just as comfortable as being home if not more so!
