This was our second visit to Casa Manalou we came last year with friends and family and found it so much to our liking that we came back for our honeymoon!! we did absolutely nothing on holiday except walk on the beach with the great beach dogs Flacka and Blanca (also shy girl but she is very shy!) we also drove into town for supplies and to have lunch occasionally, the back road itself is an experience! the fish market in town usually starts selling around 2pm behind the corregated doors next to the supermarket and you can buy great lobster and fish its very reasonable. For fruit and veg you can go to the local market you have to go under the main road and out the other side into the small town.

Activities nearby some great snokelling and also very easy to drive to the local attractions we ventured out a couple of times but our holiday was all about relaxing Casa Manalou is very private with its own lovely pool and pop over the wall right onto the beach we just loved watching the seabirds diving and can recommend the villa for a great holiday the accommodation is very clean and all linens towel ect are provided the property managers Ana & Louis are delightful and nothings to much trouble.

Just got back home from a wonderful vacation at Casa Manalou. We loved the relaxation, as we both needed a break from our jobs. The house was a dream, with beautiful grounds and the ocean and pool right out the front door. The only noise came from nature, and we were able to relax, sleep with an ocean breeze blowing across the bed, read, eat and be lazy. It was a true vacation. There were more good restaurants close by than we expected. I would recommend this home to anyone, and as we will be in Mexico for another four years we will return for sure. It was also an easy drive to do sightseeing, which we did little of. Why go anywhere when you are already staying in paradise when you arrive.

Throughly enjoyed our stay at Puerto Morelos (Casa Manalou). It was a great location, because it was in the middle of all the activites and attractions. The house was very nice, and clean. It was nice to have Abel who lived in a house on the property. He was our housekeeper, security, pool cleaner and a great guitar player. He spoke little english (and we spoke little spanish) but, we always got our message across. It was nice to have the swimming pool, as it was somedays very windy. We spent every evening just before sunset on the roof for happy hour and watched the Cruise ships pass and watched the sunset complete the day..... it was awesome. The beach was great for long walks....you could walk into Puerto Morelos in about an 1 hr 20 min stop for a beer along the way it was great. Went to The Little Mexican Cooking School in Puerto Morelos only 15 min from the house and spent a really fun day cooking mexican style. Highly recommended. Also, the Jungle Spa was a highlight . If you want a massage like no other, go there and get the 90 min Mayan massage. You won't be dissapointed and it to is only 15 mins from the house. Louis and Annie were so wonderful. They were there twice a week to change the sheets and towels and gave us lots of advise on where to go and what to see. The house was well stock with information on Puerto Morelos and also, of all the tourist attratctions which you will want to go see. There is so much to see and do here you will want to come back. If you like to cook, like we do, the owner could definately improve on their pots and pans. There were no lids that matched the pots and the frying pans needed help. They also, advertised that there was a cell phone (there was not one) which would have been nice to have been able to phone to book some of the reservations instead , we had to drive to make them. There was also,no DVD player . That's the only things they could improve on. It was a great home and would recommend it for your next vacation.

Happy Holidayer's
