We had a great stay here. Wonderful to be steps from the beach. We love snorkeling and this beach did not disappoint. Our favorite snorkel spot was over by the dilapidated pier/dock. Tons of fish. We also saw a small octopus and several rays throughout the week. The water was super calm and so clear. There’s a resort next door with an ATM that we used to get pesos. We took an Uber to Costco for groceries. The beds were comfortable and the house fit our family of six perfectly. There’s a Mayan museum at the south end of the hotel zone that is a hidden gem if you like history. There are ruins there in the garden that were really fun to see. Bring mosquito repellent though. This museum (and especially the garden walk) was a highlight for us.

This place was gorgeous and the host was wonderful. We loved the fact that the kitchen open right out to the beach we loved sitting there and enjoying our meals. Only two draw backs we would note are that the home sets next to a resort as listed so you get a lot of resort noise (ie Loud music) early in morning and late into the evening. The other was that the home has no air conditioning except the bedrooms. Definitely something to consider if renting in the heat of the summer. Other than that I would describe as paradise on the beach. We will definitely be going back.
