Casa Almea is just beautiful. The house itself is incredible and the furniture/landscaping just make it incredible. It is an ideal location, close to the town square but far enough away it is quiet/peaceful. The beach location is also great. Not as crowded as the main beach off the pier. Calm water in the morning and a new beach club where you can rent a palapa/chairs etc. Highly recommend staying at Casa Almea!

My family had a magical stay in Sisal and it was a highlight of our Yucatan road trip. Elena and Don Francisco were attentive and gracious hosts. You cannot beat the location of being on the sand in the most peaceful of environments. Casa Amea was a short walk to the pier and all the restaurants and markets. We feel like we were able to enjoy a little slice of heaven and will try to make it back.

Thank you so much, Cory. It was a real pleasure to host you!!!!

Beautiful house within walking distance of the beach. There are few good restaurants nearby and no supermarket either. It is best to go to the Walmart in Merida, but it is more than a 1-hour drive. Some things are worn out: towels, the trash can needs to be replaced, and the fridge door and foosball table also look less well maintained. Beautiful front yard and very nice outdoor shower. Backyard with a view of the sea, but it is unclear whether the sand in front of the house belongs to the house or not. Sometimes people would walk through. Also quite a few stray dogs that were walking around in that garden. Generally a quiet neighborhood with flamingos and crocodiles within walking distance; a walk there is definitely recommended. Very remote and not yet internationally developed for tourism.
Host Response
Thank you very much for sharing your experience and for highlighting the beauty of the house, its courtyards, and the tranquility of the area. Sisal is a small, natural and very quiet town. In fact, one of its main characteristics is that it still has an undeveloped atmosphere far from mass tourism, ideal for those looking to rest and disconnect. For this reason, we always recommend making larger purchases in Mérida before arriving and buying what you need during your stay at the small supermarkets and shops in the town. Regarding the sandy area in front of the property, it is a protected natural area owned by the State and granted under concession, as is the case in much of Sisal. Therefore, it is not an enclosed private garden, and people can walk along the sandy paths to enjoy the vegetation and the natural surroundings. We also greatly appreciate your comments about the towels, trash can, refrigerator, and foosball table. We have already taken them into account to review and improve these details, as we want the house to always be in the best condition for our guests. We are glad you were able to enjoy the surroundings, the beach and the wildlife so characteristic of Sisal. Thanks again for choosing us.

This house and the entire area are truly magical! We enjoyed our stay so much that we didn’t want to leave. The house is absolutely beautiful, spotless, and thoughtfully designed. Every little detail made us feel comfortable and at home. You can tell how much care and love has gone into this place. We enjoyed every single part of our stay, from relaxing in the house to spending time outside. The beach is stunning, incredibly clean, peaceful, and just a short walk away. Sisal is the perfect destination for families: very safe, charming, and with plenty of great restaurants and activities nearby. Elena and Francisco provided true 5-star hospitality. They were incredibly kind, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing vacation. Their local recommendations were fantastic and made our trip even more special. This was one of our favorite vacations, and we would absolutely stay here again.

Thank you so much, Elena and Francisco—you are wonderful hosts. You are very attentive and easy to communicate with. The house is stunning and within walking distance to the beach. You have a beautiful home with an infinity pool. The area is peaceful and private. At the beach, you can rent Palapas and enjoy water activities like boat rides and banana boat fun. At the house, there's a private outdoor tub and shower, which is truly amazing!

We liked the house very much and really enjoyed our stay. It was just my wife and I, so we were able to take advantage of the tranquility, privacy, and how close the beach is. The sand is very white, and Sisal in general is a perfect place to rest and disconnect for a few days. Elena and Francisco's service was excellent. They were always attentive and responded quickly. As a constructive comment, we feel that there are some maintenance details that could be improved. The door to an interior bedroom didn't close properly, the mattresses could be replaced, and the air conditioning in the master bedroom stopped working during our stay. In our case it wasn't a big problem because there were only two of us, but for larger groups it could be uncomfortable. There were also two power outages during the stay, although we understand that this was probably external to the property. Other than that, we had a very good experience and yes, we would recommend it.
Host Response
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience and for your very nice words about the house, Sisal, and our service. We are delighted to know that you were able to enjoy the tranquility, privacy, and rest that this special place offers. We also greatly appreciate your constructive feedback, as it helps us to continue improving the experience for our guests. We are already reviewing the points you mentioned. As for the power outages, unfortunately they were external situations related to the electricity supply in the area, although we fully understand how inconvenient it can be during a stay. It was a pleasure to host you, and we're glad to hear that, despite those details, you had a good experience and would recommend the house. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future.

Lovely house, perfect spot, and off street parking. I really enjoyed the beach access and roof top lounge chairs for watching the sunsets. I’d highly recommend the property and will go back. One minor issue - structurally, one of the bedrooms not as well positioned as the other two.
Host Response
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 We are really glad to hear that you enjoyed the house. Indeed, the room you mention is designed to offer a little more privacy within the house, especially for those who value a more independent space. Thank you again for your recommendation and for taking the time to share your experience. We look forward to welcoming you again whenever you decide to come back! 🌿

Elena’s house was fantastic for my family’s stay in Sisal. It was spacious, beautiful, and right on the beach. The house has plenty of space, a sandy back yard area for activities, and easy access to the beach. All three bedrooms were large and had their own bathrooms. The house was clean, comfortable, and exactly as shown/described in the listing. I would highly recommend the house for your next stay in Sisal.
Host Response
Thank you very much for your words! 😊 I'm so glad to hear that your family enjoyed the house and its oceanfront location. Sisal is a very special place, and it's great to know that you were able to make the most of the spaces, the patio, and the proximity to the beach. It was a pleasure to welcome you and you will always be welcome when you want to return. Thanks again for the recommendation! 🙏

A BEACHFRONT GEM! This is a gorgeous and peaceful home right on the Sisal beachfront. All homes are set back from the water but only a two-minute stroll away where you can rent a cabana with chairs and a hammock. Walk to town in ten minutes where you'll find lots of restaurants and tiendas (though you may want to stock up on supplies in Merida if you want to do anything beyond basic cooking). All three bedrooms are beautiful, airy, and complete with ceiling fans and AC. The living area and outdoor patio are extremely peaceful. You can spend hours by the pool, soaking in the scenery. Francisco, the caretaker, is wonderful and always available. This could be the best place in town!
Host Response
Thank you so much for your kind words 😊 We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the house, the tranquility, and the proximity to the sea—Sisal has something very special, and we love sharing it. We look forward to welcoming you back to this little oceanfront haven whenever you choose to return 🌊✨

The house was very modern and beautiful, the master bath with outside shower and tub are just delightful. One thing to note is that with one of the bedrooms you have to walk thru the master to get to the main living area. We did not use that bedroom so it wasn’t an issue. Francisco was very kind and responsive, the hot water went out at 8:30pm and he was there within 10minutes! Air conditioning worked great, grounds are stunning. Overall a great house. Loved our stay.
Host Response
Thank you very much, Jennifer, for your very kind and detailed feedback! We are delighted to hear that you loved the house and enjoyed your stay, especially the outdoor shower, the bathtub, and the gardens. We also appreciate your comment about the layout of the bedrooms. We just wanted to mention for future guests that this bedroom also has its own separate entrance through the garden, making it completely self-contained in case you don't want to go through the master bedroom. It has been a real pleasure to host you, and we would be delighted to welcome you back at any time.

The house is a great option for vacations and to spend some relaxing time. It is steps from the beach and has everything you need to be relaxed for several days. What I didn't like is that the mattresses in the 3 bedrooms are very ugly and old, making it practically impossible to sleep on them. The power went out twice due to the strong winds in the area and left us without communication. We ran out of water due to lack of maintenance of their facilities. Francisco tried to resolve all the situations so that we had a better stay.
Host Response
Buenas Tardes ! Agradecemos que hayan destacado la ubicación de la casa y que la consideren una buena opción para descansar cerca del mar. Respecto a los puntos mencionados, nos parece importante aclarar algunos aspectos para futuros huéspedes: – Los cortes de energía eléctrica se debieron a fuertes vientos que afectaron de forma general a toda la región de Yucatán, algo totalmente ajeno a la propiedad. – La falta de agua fue consecuencia de una avería puntual en una pieza externa del sistema de aire acondicionado, situación que fue detectada y solucionada de inmediato por nuestro encargado de mantenimiento, Francisco, a quien ustedes mismos mencionan por su buena gestión. – Como gesto de cortesía por las molestias ocasionadas, ofrecimos un late check-out gratuito hasta el horario solicitado por los huéspedes, algo que no se refleja en el comentario pero que consideramos importante mencionar. Lamentablemente, estas situaciones —que fueron externas y resueltas con rapidez— no justificaron las condiciones en las que la casa fue dejada al momento de la salida, muy por debajo de los estándares habituales de respeto y cuidado de una propiedad privada. De hecho, fue la primera vez en más de 5 años de operación que nos vimos en la necesidad de solicitar apoyo a la plataforma para poder resolver esta situación .Cabe aclarar que, a pesar de haberse enviado fotos y videos que evidenciaban claramente el estado en que fue dejada la casa, no hubo por parte de los huéspedes una toma de responsabilidad frente a dicha situación. Seguimos comprometidos con brindar una excelente experiencia a nuestros huéspedes, con atención constante, soluciones rápidas y un alto estándar de hospitalidad.

One of our best stays with Airbnb. This is one of those rare homes where the photos don't do the place justice. The home is beautifully constructed, the landscaping and outdoor spaces are perfection, and the ocean views are completely breathtaking. The host is very responsive and the local caretaker, Francisco, took care of us all week. We aren't travelers who generally return to the same places, but my husband and I agreed that we would come back here. Highly recommend.
Host Response
Thank you so much for your beautiful words! Reading your review truly made our day. We put a lot of heart into creating a space that feels special, and knowing that you enjoyed the home, the views, and the outdoor areas means the world to us. It’s wonderful to know that even as travelers who don’t usually return to the same place, you would consider coming back. That is the greatest compliment we could receive. You are always welcome here. Thank you again for choosing our home and for recommending us so warmly.

It was a very beautiful experience, we are totally invited to return, the hostess was very good with her recommendations. 1000% recommended

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Almea. Communication with Elena was great. She helped us set up a tour of the mangroves to see the flamingos, and to book really good massages at the house, and also helped us arrange a chef to cook some meals for us, which were excellent! Fransisco, the maintenance man, was also very kind and helpful. Our stay was super relaxing. We went down to the beach for swims and walks, lounged by the plunge pool, and just enjoyed a peaceful time in the sweet little town of Sisal. Having the bicycles was a nice treat too to ride into town and grab a few things at the local shops. I highly recommend staying here!

The villa is great, just few steps away from the beautiful beach, we had a wonderful and relaxing stay! The villa and property feel very well cared for, very private and relaxing. The house is located close to restaurants, local seafood is very fresh and delicious! Most of the restaurants close early 5-6 pm. Sisal is a very safe and quiet town with a few small grocery stores offering basic and limited products, if you are planning to cook at home your best choice is to buy groceries in Merida or other bigger city. Do not forget to take medications and some pesos, not all stores take credit cards and the local pharmacy offer very limited meds. Elena was very responsive and helpful. We will definitely visit Casa Almea again, beautiful place to spend your vacation!

This stunning, spacious, clean new home is steps off the beach, and an easy walk or bike ride from town center (the house comes with bikes). The pictures are accurate and the service / communication from staff is top notch. Enjoy the cool plunge pool especially in the first half of the day when the sun shines most on that part of the house. Take advantage of the loungers on the roof for sea and sunset views. Refresh in the outdoor shower and bathtub with hot water. And spread out in all the many perfectly designed hang out areas. Sisal is friendly, welcoming, safe, and peaceful. Very quiet at night - restaurants close early - so having a place like Casa Almea that you genuinely love spending time in is key. Don’t miss the tour of the mangroves and a swim in the Ojo de Agua Cenote! We loved our time and can’t wait to go back. Thanks so much to everyone at Casa Almea.

This is my fourth or fifth stay at the property, which likely says all that needs to be said. Between Elena and Francisco's (the house manager) kindness, attentiveness, and their sincerity, every time I visit it's like coming home. The house has everything one could need, and while Sisal is a quiet coastal village in Mexico, it is one of the most beautiful locations. The short walk to the beach still takes my breath away each time and the sunsets never disappoint. This trip we had to ensure Hurricane Milton and even though we didn't have power or water for 2.5 days, we felt safe and cared for. It was actually very nice to disconnect, read, play games, and chat with each other. This is a one of a kind home and location. The quaintness of Sisal, the people, and the home, are what keeps us going back year after year.

Sisal is a wonderful place to visit if you’re looking to truly unwind and relax. It is not as developed as other beach towns, but I’m sure developers are coming. In the meantime it’s quiet, chill, simple. Perfect for us for a few days. Bikes helped get into town for groceries and such. The house is as close as you can get to the beach, and from back door to water takes about 3-5 minutes to walk. It’s a wonderful beach, very shallow and safe. The rooftop is great for sunsets, the pool for refreshing dips, and our kids loved the old school foosball table. Speakers on the back porch were great fun too. The kitchen could use some upgrades in terms of cookware but we did fine with simple pans and the basics. A great house in a fantastic location— thank you!

Perfect spot for a family or two to get away. The pool, games for the kids, the short walk to the stunner of a beach - it's all great. We felt at home and taken care of.

The home was beautifully designed, very tasteful, private and relaxing. We very much enjoyed the roof top deck for morning, coffee, and the sunsets. The beach is right out front with very few people on it. Elena was very quick to respond to questions and suggestions.

Loved the house! Walked up the beach and had great appetizers and drinks. The short street to get to the house was dirt and had quite a few potholes so glad we rented a 4 wheel drive with higher clearance. Overall would rent again.

Beautiful stay, ideal for families who want to rest and enjoy the beach, pool and board games. The kitchen is very functional. The service is personalized to enjoy, for example, a good fried fish. The architecture of the house is very functional and comfortable.

As soon as we arrived we were already kicking ourselves for only booking three nights. You need five for sure. It was just the two of us so we didn’t get to enjoy all the gorgeous nooks and crannies this place has to offer. Here are some of the highlights: Rooftop beds- barely touched them The pool + patio on the rain Sexy lighting ambiance in the front is impossible to photograph, but trust it’s immaculate Outdoor shower! ATV rental! Local seafood! We’ve travelled the globe and this house is in top five we’ve stayed at. The only thing to note is that the beds are very similar to Greece/Europe- very firm. We liked them but they may not be for everyone.

Our second summer at Elena's home, and as soon as we walked in the door we felt like we were home again. To listen to our kids bring up memories from the year before and to see the house the smiles on their faces was worth it. Francisco's great care and wonderful personality makes being a guest here truly make you feel like you are home. The house offers plenty of room, we are a family of six, there's plenty to do from the books on the shelves, the chessboard in the living room, to the foosball table, pool, swing, rooftop lounge area, firepit out front, and of course, the two minute walk to the water. Beyond the house, the sunsets are worth the visit. Catch one from the beach, from the back patio, or the rooftop terrace and you will have one of those moments in life that you cherish right then and there. Thank you, Elena and Francisco for yet another amazing time at your home and in Sisal. It is truly a Paraiso. See you next summer! Joe

Lovely beach home in a quiet beach community. Our host (Elena) responded promptly to every question including connecting us with the local tour company…which was a short walk away. Everything was pleasant and as the pictures show. Great location to access a beautiful beach, relax in a calming home, enjoy the local restaurants, or take local tours (e.g., fishing, mangrove swamps, cenotes)

The pictures of the inside of the home are accurate and the home has many amenities. The location, however, was not for us. The adjacent buildings are in disrepair and/or abandoned, as is the former restaurant across the street. Very quiet if that’s what you are looking for, but off putting for us. When we were there, the beach and sea were full of seaweed and not good for swimming, although this may not always be the case. If you go, be sure to bring all the meat, dairy, fruit and vegetables you need, as the stores and shops in town carry prepackaged processed food almost exclusively. Elena and Francisco were very helpful and attentive hosts.

This home is gorgeous with many private areas set up for indoor/outdoor living. Miles of beach with no one in sight. The village of Sisal is an easy walk. It’s small but it has a few nice restaurants with excellent seafood (I recommend K LU'UM Restaurante). Elena and Francisco are very helpful if you need anything. We would book this home again.

Casa Almea is breathtaking. The front yard is beautifully landscaped with a fire bowl and hanging pod chairs. The pool is small but refreshing and the ocean side yard is a vast oasis of white sand and vibrant shrubbery. The home is very comfortable and the decor is picture perfect. On the rooftop there are two double sun loungers for taking in the sea views. Spectacular. We used the bikes every evening to ride to the pier for sunset. Elena and Francisco were helpful and responsive. Francisco arrived promptly when we found one of the bike tires deflated and Elena answered all of our questions without fail. Regarding provisions in town, don’t worry about provisioning before your arrival. We found everything we needed at a collection of small local merchants. We will be back each year as long as Elena will have us.

Elenas home is beautiful spacious and was perfect for our family getaway lots of room and ideal outdoor and Iindoor space . The beach is not so nice and Sisal is small so not to many choices of places to eat , but I would highly recommend this Airb&b

Probably the most beautiful house in Sisal. Very pleasant and well located. Everything that you need. The whole team is very nice and you can ask them to help you organize having someone coming to cook for you. Totally worth it. Doña Carmen is great and cooks delicious. Try her ceviche. Would definitely come back.

I couldn’t think of a more perfect or beautiful beach house! Elena’s house is so well appointed and having the rooftop was amazing. We spent our evenings up there as it was during a full moon 🌕 The bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms were so comfortable. Elena is an excellent communicator and her host Francisco was so kind and welcoming. I live in Mexico and would love to return to this fantastic house in the near future 🙏

Elena was very attentive, there were 6 of us and a minor and she left us extra sheets for him, the view is spectacular, the house is very comfortable, spacious, there are different areas to de-stress or entertain you, the audio system is good, the football made us be there for hours, the beach is 3 min walk and it is beautiful. I highly recommend it.

If only more than five stars could be given, this house would earn them. Location, location, location is just one reason to stay at Elena's home. Coupled with the amenities: foosball table, two bicycles available, a grill, a fire pit out front, a swing, the pool, and multiple areas to relax and sun bath to name a few. The fact that the house sits on the sand there's a backyard for everyone to enjoy (we spent it playing soccer) and a mere 200 meter walk and you are at the beach. The water in Sisal is beautiful - warm, clear, and full of amazing seashells. The house was very well outfitted, the ability to rent the ATV was fun (we had a car but still decided to try out the ATV) and well enjoyed by all. The local caretaker, Francisco, is beyond polite, professional, and a truly genuine individual. He was there for anything that we may have needed, we saw him around town and he was always willing to help or give advice. I could go on and on about the beauty and tranquility of Sisal and Elena's home. You couldn't choose a nicer place to spend your vacation.

Casa Almea was an absolute dream. Every inch of the space is thoughtfully designed and goes perfectly with the welcoming little town of Sisal. Not to mention the quick access to the beautiful beach. Fransico, the property manager, was SO kind, commutative and helpful for whatever we needed. My husband and I just wanted a peaceful tranquil week away from work and kids and that’s exactly what we got. Feeling rejuvenated heading home!
