About Cancun

Tim Miller and his brother purchased property in Cancun in 2004 after previously owning property in Cocoa Beach, Florida. They fell in love with Cancun and chose to make it their home.

The Cancun Hotel Zone is an island surrounded by Caribbean waters to the east, north, and south, with the freshwater Nichupté Bay to the west. The area is known for its beautiful beaches, welcoming local community, and convenient access to restaurants, shops, nightlife, and excursions.

Guest Services and Local Support

The hosts manage the property full time and are dedicated to providing attentive service. Abdiel and Paola are the full-time local managers in Cancun and are available at the resort Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Guests also receive prompt email responses outside those hours.

On arrival day, the local team welcomes guests, provides an orientation, and answers questions about the penthouse and resort.

A group email thread is created after payment is processed and includes the guests and the entire management team. The subject begins with “GROUP – MAIN,” followed by the penthouse number and arrival and departure dates. This system helps the team coordinate requests and provide consistent, timely communication.

The resort publishes a weekly activity brochure with current offerings. Activities often include live entertainment around the bar and water yoga.

With more than two decades of experience in Cancun, the hosts also provide local recommendations for tours and excursions.
