We just returned from Casa Mis Tres Ales in Isla Mujeres and have nothing but compliments for Ron and his condo. Ron is apparently a professor at the medical school in Charleston,
and is an extremely helpful owner. Before the trip we called him several times and he was extremely helpful with advice. The condo is his second home, and he only rents to couples or families, not 'spring breakers'. He says he is trying to build a clientel of repeat customers who will love the place and treat the condo like their own. I think it is a great idea, and the condo really shows this. There is an elevator completely equipped kitchen, and the guests that preceded us left us spices, unopened softdrinks and canned goods, and even some wine. The kitchen is fantastic and saved us about $500 because we used it for breakfasts and half the lunches. The beds are just like ron says...super comfortable. Two have private balconies overlooking the water, and the third balcony is along the living room. It opens up the living and dining area into a giant indoor outdoor place to take lunch while looking over the pool or beach or just lounge around watching the sun set on the water. The complex is very small, with just about 20 or 25 other units, and we really didn't have to share the pool or the beach with more than 5 or 6 other people at a time, so even though this is a great family place, I think it would be very nice as a romantic spot for a couple too. We were worried that we would be far away from the 'action' at north beach, but this turned out not to be the case...it was about a 6 dollar cab ride and after the first day of constantly being approached on the north beach to buy clothes hammocks or other 'substances' we were happy to be back on our own private beach and not worrying about the kids being approached by strangers. The pool is right on the beach, and like ron says, you can watch one child in the pool and the other on the beach from the same place on the pool deck. There was not too many pool chairs, but ron tells me they are getting many more. It was nice to be able to get out of the midday sun and watch tv (it has cable) and the teenagers appreciated the wireless internet. Dvd players for the tv's are a nice touch to keep our youngest entertained when we wanted him out of the sun. Ron has really set this place up like a comfortable home, an apparently has some children himself, so he has set it up very well for families. overall we can't wait to return!
