Over sold, under delivered
Where should I start? The entire experience was a disappointment. At first arrival the room smelled of mold, we were then told there was no septic system which meant all toilet paper was to be discarded into a garbage pail. The room seemed like an afterthought, half of it looked unfinished, and filthy. The fridge was a barely running bar fridge that neither created nor held ice as there was no freezer. We found blood stains on one of the pillows and the sheets smelled of sour mildew. You can't open the curtains as everyone walking by including workers on the property and other patrons need to walk past the bottom floor to get anywhere, so you don't know whether its sunny or raining. There is no privacy or area to sit and relax. Sure, you could go up 3 levels to the disappointing water troth they call a pool thats filthy and full of leaves or if you're feeling gutsy you can risk your life climbing to the terrace. This place was complete garbage and the video thats posted on the website is a complete scam. The property manager was lovley and very receptive to our concerns, allowing us to check out the next morning and refunding back most of our cost immediately. Needless to say we will never be staying at this location nor will we be recommending it to our worst enemy.

Great place for a few days.
My wife and I enjoyed this property very much. The location is great for walking everywhere. The property is off the charts in regard to cool. The toilet has a sulphury smell that is off putting. The staff was amazing.

Layla Guesthouse was like staying at a resort while not being at a resort, if that makes any sense. The staff was amazing! The owners were so freaking friendly and helped us with anything we needed. The rooms are so beautiful! No tv, but so worth every penny! The food at the cafe was beyond amazing! The pool & rooftop had views for days! We stayed through thursday night karaoke for a little & had a ton of fun! All I can say is PERFECTO! Can’t wait to visit you all again😊

Quick Getaway
My friend and I stayed at the Layla Guesthouse for three nights in late April. We would stay here again. We had originally booked for late March, but due to a death in the family, I asked to rebook. They didn't hesitate to rebook even though it was only two weeks until our visit. They even refunded one night's pay because we reduced our new stay by one night. We stayed in one of the ground floor rooms. The details in the guesthouse and cafe and the room were very thoughtfully designed and executed. It was clean and airy. We never used the air conditioning, even though it was warm. There is currently construction occurring on the premises (adding another room and studio space), but that did not bother us as we were only there briefly during the day. Otherwise we were at the beach. Pros: -Excellent customer service (allowed for rebooking, accommodated a late check out) -Friendly staff and owners- Layla Guesthouse and cafe feels like home. The staff is so friendly and helpful. -Layla Cafe- So wonderful to wake up and have a fabulous breakfast or a smoothie and amazing salad at lunch. We didn't have dinner there. The food is exceptional. Again, well thought out like the guesthouse. There are events happening almost every night of the week in the cafe (music, movie night). It was so lovely to be our room and hear the music. It never ran too late. -Clean rooms, comfortable beds, nice small kitchenette (but we ended up not needing it due to the cafe) -The option for yoga (while we didn't end up doing this, had we stayed longer, we would have) Cons: I had thought we would have beach access from the guesthouse. However there is a school across the street (closed to due COVID). Beach access is about three blocks away. It was not far and nice walk, but we had just thought we'd be able to access the beach by walking across the street. HOWEVER, I may have not booked Layla, if I had known that, BUT I'm so GLAD we stayed there and would stay again if I went with friends. Once again, I am super thankful I stayed at Layla Guesthouse. There is a lovely rooftop with a platform for yoga. The view is incredible. The rooftop itself has a lot of potential. It has swings and hammock and lounge chairs, but would recommend adding some love to the area to make it more appealing. That said, I do know this area suffered a hurricane and a strong tropical storm late fall 2020, so this may have been cause.

weekend in Puerto Morelos
Every member of the staff was amazing. The grounds and the apartment are like an artist retreat. What's interesting is that it doesn't feel created or contrived, but very natural, like this is just the way the space was meant to be. The food at the café was equally impressive. Muy excelente.

About the host

We fell in love with Puerto Morelos as soon as we got here, on a vacation on 2006. We just envisioned ourselves living in this beautiful fisher's town, enjoying the blue sea and the beach every day and sharing it with friends. So we bought the land right away! We constructed the Guesthouse from the ground up and finished it in August 2013. A year later finished the Cafe and the rooftop. Puerto Morelos is a secret gem on the Mayan Riviera and we love having the place we always dreamed about and sharing it with visitors.
