We found everything from the Donde Mira El Sol web site to be factual and true. We arrived late in the evening,
well after dark, to find a four course meal with several of the residents and owner waiting for us. You could hear the ocean waves breaking and smell the sea breeze on the terrace where we dinned. The next morning we looked
out the window and there it was, the beautiful Pacific Ocean, a view that can be seen from everywhere on the property. Even with the beautiful swimming pools, we took the steps down to the ocean for our first swim. We ate all our meals at Donde Mira El Sol and enjoyed everyone of them trying several new dishes with wonderfully fresh ingredients, no processed foods here! Meals are served mainly at 10:00 am, 4:00 pm and 8:30 pm, somehow this immediately seemed entirely normal, however you may order meals any time between 9:00 am and 9:00 pm. The owners, who live on site, and the staff are totally dedicated to making your stay nothing but relaxing and enjoyable. If you are looking for a place to live, or just visit, you will not find a better Senior Living Home. You may find some places equally wonderful, but the financial cost will be much greater. As a vacation spot, Donde Mira is also a wonderful hotel. We are already planning to winter at Donde Mira El Sol next year or perhaps become permanent residents. In one week we made life long friends!
