This house was a perfect vacation place for my two adult children and myself. The location is excellent. We walked to restaurants, grocery store and downtown area.
The taxi stand was a block away for traveling to the beach for snorkeling. I felt safe walking at night because there are lots of street lights. Everything was easy to get to. Eight blocks down the street and you are at the town square. Local people are friendly.
The internet connection at the house amused my kids and they felt connected to friends. That was a big plus. I liked the ipod dock, so I could play my music.
We ate lunch at the Super Hit, and my son brought home a great chicken dinner from the ParriPollo. We shopped at the grocery store, and managed to buy food even though we don't read Spanish very well. The exchange rate was very easy.
The house couldn't have been better. It was clean and beautiful. Victor was prompt with every detail. He did tell us that it was a very busy tourist time in Cozumel (Christmas), but we had no problem communicating with him by phone.
The maid was very good, and since we were out every day, we only met her on the last day.
I bought a huge colorful plate for my coffee table, because I loved the Mexican potteryat the house.
Staying at the house was so much better than staying at a hotel. It gave us the time and privacy we needed together. We had to solve the problem of eating each day, and that gave us a project that we all enjoyed. Sunday night in the main plaza was so nice. It was so relaxing.
My son's comment was that he felt he could have bargained for better deals than what Victor set up for us on the glass bottomed boat snorkel trip and the Chichen Itza tour. But I was satisfied with both tours, although I was disappointed that tourists can no longer climb the pyramid ruins. (A friend told me that was the scariest thing she'd ever done.)
We visited Playa del Carmen, Mr. Sancho's and Chakanaab on our own. The ferry was fun. The snorkeling was great~ I had never tried it before, and I was hooked as soon as I tried it.
One night, when we were walking around downtown about 11 pm near Senor Frog's, we stopped at an outdoor concert (rock band). Everyone was Mexican, no tourists around. That was pretty cool!
The vacation was perfect and I would recommend this house to anyone for safety, ease of travel, convenience and beauty. If you need evening entertainment, though, Cozumel seemed to be a pretty quiet place.
Thank you, thank you for a great place and good memories. If I can get a few girlfriends together for a trip, I wouldn't hesitate to come back to this house in Cozumel.
Owner's Response: Thanks Sue for taking the time to write a review! I really appreciate it. I'm so glad you and your family enjoyed your time on the island, and we look forward to seeing you back one day!
