Amazing condo. It exceeded our expectations and more; and spotless.
Thank you for the well equipped kitchen, lovely array of dishes.
Carlos was very instructional, thorough, and was able to answer all our questions.

We loved the town of Puerto Morelos and its people. Although we had meant to cook in for the most part, we enjoyed the town and the restaurants so much that we mostly ate out.
Our favorite lunch spot was Merkadito... best margaritas!
Favorite supper was Habaneros... great music and ambience.
And... Ristorante de Los Tejones Locos... the best spaghetti bolognese and lasagne.
(They just opened a month or so ago. We highly recommend it.)

The night life in town completely drew us in. This is one place we would not hesitate to live in.
The music is everywhere and the people are extraordinary!

Best holiday ever. This is a real find.

This is a wonderfully appointed condo in a fab location! It is just perfect for 2 couples since there are 2 king beds and 2.5 bathrooms. The beds are very comfortable! The location couldnt be better if you want to be right on the water. It is like having your own private beach. The grounds are beautifully maintained including a gorgeous infinity pool. The condo is outfitted with all the tools you need to have a relaxing time, including a hammock! The condo was very clean with air conditioning and ceiling fans. We noticed that the owner really listened to the suggestions made by previous renters and complied with things such as adding a safe and allowing a second set of keys. If you do like to cook the whole time, bring along your own supply of spices, herbs and salt and pepper. We really enjoyed the quiet of the condo, all adults when we were there although I am sure that is not always the case. You have to walk to town to get groceries and you are not able to walk along the beach which would have been nice. The stores are pretty limited too, however it is easy to get all your breakfast and lunch needs and enjoy some fun restaurants for dinner. We found the condo book with everyone's suggestions very helpful. There are also quite a few reviews in Trip Advisor. We felt very safe walking at night, the condo is beside the federal pier. The locals are very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed a snorkling trip with local, and inexpensive massages right on the beach. It is easy to rent a car in town if you require one for a single day or the entire time. You do get ripped off leaving the Cancun airport- about $70.00 for a 20 min cab drive- but to get back to the airport, 300 pesos! Use pesos wherever you can and you will save yourself some money! This would be a fab place for a girls getaway! There is an elevator in the building so the condo and pool area would be assessible however the town is not at all assessible. The roads are not paved in many areas and it would be very hard to get around.

PEACEFUL AND RELAXING

We looked forward to our trip here for 9 months. The views and premises did not disappoint us. We enjoyed meeting other guests in the small complex.

Snorkeling with Charlie Brown was great fun. We had never snorkeled before and had no problems. The reef is beautiful.

The restaurants we enjoyed in town were: Los Gauchos, John Grays and Oasis.

We were able to watch parts of the March Madness Basketball on ESPN. We are Kansas Jayhawks fans.

Carlos was a big help. It was convenient having him pick us up at the airport. He also bought groceries. This was great because the market in town is limited. It was wonderful to have someone who was available at any time.

We did not rent a car and did not feel that we needed one. We were able to walk to town. I would recommend bringing cash to exchange or having access to your ATM card. Most of the restaurants we tried did not accept credit.

This is a nice, quiet place to relax and look at the beautiful ocean.

Recommended for: age 55+, families with young children, tourists without a car, romantic getaway
