Hi All. I have been looking for long term rentals for next year 2014. The playa Encuentro residential area has come up a few times, but I'm getting mixed reviews about the safety of that area. I have been to the beach, and the houses and apartments in the area look decent, but I have been hearing that crime in that area is very common and that it is not that safe.
I have also looked at the Pro Cab neighborhood which seem a bit more safe since they have a gateman who controls entrance to the neighborhood unlike playa Encuentro which is open to all. If you do not wish to make your opinions or response public, please PM with an honest opinion, since I'm trying to asess safety conditions in both these neighborhoods.
Thanks in advance for all honest and candid opinions. I also read about the recent surf school case of arson in playa Encuentro, which is another reason I'm concerned. The apartments I'm looking at is at Palm Islands Apartment Rentals in Playa Encuentro. If anyone has feedback, please share.
