5 Stars for outdoor experience, the condo a 2 Star

You will love this gem of the Mexican Riviera IF your priority is soaking up all the outdoor experience. The condo is in a tropical jungle with beautiful palm/coconut tree lined path to a private beach. It’s stunning. The outdoor pool is clean and well kept. There are hammocks near a flowing water fountain. The private chef cooking service is wonderful (he has a private outdoor kitchen). The on-site workers were responsive and helpful. (Ask for the kayak! Ask for fresh coconuts to drink!) The ocean view Palapa is wonderful for morning coffee, yoga, afternoon drinks and evening games. We saw iguana and so many birds and maybe even a monkey in our 8 days here. My real caution is the condition of the condo. I expected old and dated as previous reviews noted, but the kitchen and bathrooms are run down. I’m an outdoor camper and they still surprised me. The towels for bathing and pool are good. The fridges very clean. The washer/dryer upstairs very clean. The Wifi and TV worked well. The downstairs kitchen is so bad, though. There are pots/pans/dishes/silverware but without a dishwasher or tidy sink area It would be very difficult to manage meals for a group here.(I washed all things before I used them). There are NO pantry items so plan a grocery run for staples of coffee, coffee filters, sugar, salt, paper towels, counter spray cleaner, etc. Our group of 8 adults enjoyed our time here and there is so much space! But if you are hoping for luxury or resort style living you will want to look elsewhere. We enjoyed getting to know the owner and see his vision for the adjoining properties he owns. All the locals were pleasant. We used the Covid testing company they rec. and they were very professional. We rented a car and we’re so glad we did. A 10 min drive to Puerto Moreles allowed for a grocery run and site seeing. If you don’t do chef service, the restaurants here were very good (and some seat with ocean views).

I'd call it a value property

Everything was good, except that the cleaning crew doesn't actually scrub down the bathrooms and they also only use organic cleaning products so be prepared to see/feel left over residues in the shower, toilet, sinks, dishes, floor. I don't like to scrub either, so I spray bleach, let it sit and rinse, but they don't want the use of harsh products (which I get, but let's get some scrubbing action then). In a place that is a rental, hosting multiple people, this is crucial. Only its overlooked here. Other than that, the host was great. The location was good, very private and a great dining room to host nice family dinners. And the chef was AMAZING! Same with the yoga instructor!

Perfect little place

Our favorite part of this property was the outdoor area. The garden, pool area, and private beach in the backyard were all so gorgeous. The property was as described and everything worked properly. The on-site maintenance(?) man, Ismael was so wonderful and found/helped us with everything we needed if it wasn’t available in the house. The owner of the house was also very kind and helpful. We had 15 adults and there was more than enough space for everyone. The house could do with a few more kitchen gadgets/utensils and cookware but other than that everything was perfect. There was a washer and dryer in the unit as well which was a huge plus for our big group. I highly recommend using Sergio for your transportation/tours as well. Extremely friendly and helpful and made our experience much more personable and fun. Thank you all!

Great location, run down house

The location is amazing. There is a fantastic pool and a beautiful beach front. We hired the chef to make our meals and that was lovely (it would have been awful to try and cook in that house). We also hired the driver to pick us up from the airport and take us to see the ruins, a cenote and a monkey sanctuary. That was great for our large family of 11… Unfortunately, it was the worst house I’ve ever stayed in. I would only give it one or two stars. There are a lot of beds, bedrooms, and bathrooms, but all of them are rundown. The beds are hard, the pillows were uncomfortable (one pillow had blood spots on it), the showers did not all produce hot water, and there was no cleaning done the entire time we were there. We ended up booking this place because it was last minute and it was the only large property available. The staff was friendly and kind.

Gorgeous Grounds

The grounds were beautiful! The pool was perfect, the beach hut was fun with great views, private beach was always empty and super nice. The house itself is definitely dated but we were only in there to shower and sleep. Chef Ismael did a GREAT job! He was one of the highlights of the trip. Also, Sergio was great with tours and transportation. Always on time. Communicating with Daniel was quick and easy during the planning process. Only saw him the last day we were there. Overall, I'd recommend as long as you're aware that the house itself isn't the selling point.
