Hotel Casa Don Francisco

This year was our longest stay ever at Casa Don. After not being able to come last year six weeks turned into seven because we weren’t ready to leave our home away from home. Never before have I seen the type of care that was afforded to those who stay at the hotel. Erica, owner/manager literally can move mountains for her guests. When one is in a foreign country and has special needs or wants, Erica is like a modern day Superwoman. Her staff is the best. Mari is obsessed with keeping my room spotlessly clean and keeps my vase full of fresh flowers from the gardens. Chef Vicky makes delicious made to order breakfasts, my special Quesadilla a la Claudia, and provided me with a cooking lesson for Tinga de Pollo. The modern stainless steel kitchen is kept spotless under her charge. Anahí aka Chicky, serves us and keeps us laughing with her quips. Over time her English has so improved that she gets our jokes and gives it to us right back. She also attends to our needs and referred us to a friend with a nice car who transported us to Playa Larga at a very affordable price. She does a great job for Erica. Roman, who works in the gardens and is the night guy is now my Angel. As I was walking down the steps, I became distracted and started to “fly”. Thankfully, Roman caught me and kept me from injury. Lastly, I want to make a special mention to Jose, our night guard, and an employee for many years who became ill and passed on from this world. We will not forget the special care and hard work he provided. Thank you, Erica, my dear friend, for another fun year. I will miss our Breakfast Chisme and you. I will also miss my skort which I’m sure you are now wearing. 😂 Who would have known so many years ago that we would have become the best of friends. ❤️ Nos vemos el año proximo.
