We came for my bachelorette and I keep telling everyone it was the best weekend of my life. This would be in no way possible without this beautiful Airbnb, the responsiveness of Ilona, and chef Ivan's food and service. Ivan was more than a chef, he organized taxis, made sure everything ran smoothly, and was one of the main reasons my bachelorette weekend was as perfect as it was. Exactly like the pictures. In a gated community that made us feel very safe. I would 100% stay here again.

I had an amazing stay at Casa Pulpo! We visited for a bachelorette trip, and Ilona made sure we were well accommodated both before and during our stay. The house was beautiful, clean, and well-equipped for our group, making everything comfortable and convenient. We especially enjoyed the pool, which was spotless and perfect for relaxing. The gated community also made us feel very safe throughout our stay. The chef was incredible and truly elevated our experience. I would absolutely stay at Ilona and Moises’ property again anytime I’m in Playa del Carmen!

Moises and Ilona were helpful. The house was as described and has a great eating space along with clean rooms. The balconies are great and the overall vibe is perfect for reconnecting with your guests. Inevitably, things happen but Ilona and Moises were helpful. Gabriel and Ivan were a great chef team, attentive and helpful. Food was great. Overall, would come back!

We had a wonderful stay! The host truly went above and beyond to make sure all of our needs were taken care of. Communication was excellent — they were always responsive, attentive, and quick to help whenever we had a question or needed anything. Everything felt easy and well-supported, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We’d happily stay here again and highly recommend this host to others.

The house was as it appeared in pictures which is always nice. The included chef was great, very professional, and delicious. Only having to pay for the groceries was great and the price was unbeatable. 5 course meals every day. The location is good, we were able to spend time at a local resort for free and then have excursions to other places which worked out well. The house was well cooked in private rooms and in share spaces which is a big bonus. Ilona was incredibly helpful always responsive and with great suggestions which made the stay so comfortable and enjoyable.

⸻ “Our stay at this beautiful home was truly unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed and cared for. The decor throughout the house is stunning — every detail made us feel like we were in a luxurious, thoughtfully designed space. Everyone we interacted with was so helpful and quick to answer any questions we had, which made our trip stress-free and relaxing. We especially appreciated the driver who picked us up from the airport — it made arriving so smooth — and the incredible chef who cooked delicious meals for us. Every dish was amazing! We loved going on bike rides around the safe, quiet neighborhood, and our girls had the best time swimming in the pool and winding down with a movie on the big screen projector. This home and the wonderful people behind it made our vacation extra special. We can’t recommend it enough — thank you for everything!”
