Perfect Accomodations!

As you may know, picking a rental home is a bit scary. After two months of searching, we picked Casa Passalaqua for our annual winter trip. 10 friends: 3 couples and 4 singles. And the villa was great! It's an ideal location. A private, magical enclave of homes with cobblestone streets. The beach is quiet and bustling 5th Avenue is only a short walk away. The home has all the amenities you need. LOTS of space. After chartering a boat the first day, we brought back about 20 lbs of fish and grilled on the top deck. Every night, the kitchen provided us all we needed to cook for the group. Hot water in the showers, filtered water to drink, wi fi to stay connected. The maid who came each day was wonderful and helped to keep the linens and dishes in order and the sand off the floors. Carlos, the manager, was always just minutes away and ready to help with whatever we needed. And the best part: We got to meet the home owner on the final day when she was moving in and Eleonora is an angel! I admit I was a little nervous sending thousands of dollars to someone I had never met for a home I had never seen. I promise . . . you have nothing to worry about. Eleonora and her husband Alex are sweet and generous! I will definitely be recommending Casa P. to my friends! Thank you Eleonora!
By the way, if you are a scuba diver, I took trips with Scuba Playa (not Playa Scuba) and Yukatek. Both were excellent experiences with very friendly and professional staff. Love Playa Del Carmen!
OK, to be fair . . . the kitchen could use a sharper knife.

Awesome Villa with Beautiful Views

My husband and I have been to Playa many times and love it there. This trip we invited his family including his 85 year old grandmother, parents, siblings and spouses and his aunt and uncle. There were 11 of us in total and we all loved Casa Passalacqua! The view of Cozumel from the roof top pool was amazing. We loved the quick walk to the beach and to town. The house is beautiful - the window highlighting the tree is amazing, especially at night. The house is very spacious with a lot of outside spaces to hang out and either socialize or find a spot to be by yourself.
I can't wait to go back to Playa and stay at Casa Passalacqua again!

This was a beautiful house exactly as described on the website, very clean and well-maintained. The owner provided excellent customer service and I would definitely recommend this property to friends and relatives as the house is in an exclusive area of Playa del Carmen just 5 min walk to the beach. I would stay here again any time!

Beautiful Villa for our Wedding Weekend!
Submitted: May 15, 2012
Stayed: April 2012
The villa that we rented was absolutely gorgeous for our wedding weekend. We could not have asked for a better place to rent for my fiancée (now wife) and our family members. The views from the rooftop were amazing. You could see the ocean and feel the warm breezes as you looked out over the ocean to Cozumel? It only took several minutes to walk to the beach which was so convenient, especially since we had several kids staying with us. It was also nice having maid service everyday, internet service to stay in touch with the world, and lots of movies that were provided with the house rental! It also only took 10 minutes to walk to 5th Avenue and enjoy all of the nightlife of Playa Del Carmen! Now the only question is when are we going to go back to Playa. I would definitely stay at this home again!

Our group of 12 rented this house and it was amazing. I would recommend this to any large family or group. The owners are so nice and make feel so welcome. Close to beach and walking distance to everything you need. Had a great time and can't wait to go back. Your friends from Kansas!

I just got back from a 3 day trip here and wish I could have stayed longer. The house is beautiful from top to bottom and a less than 5 minute walk to 5th Ave. Every amenity you could possibly need is already there for you and the owner was incredibly friendly and easy to work with during the whole rental process. I would definitely head back again and would reccommend to staying here vs a resort as you will have much more privacy and comfort.

8 of us just returned from a week in Mexico. We rented Casa Passalacqua and were not disappointed. The house is in a gated community, and and feels very private and safe. The money exchange made me nervous initially, but it was completely safe and professional, the owners of this property want the guests to truly enjoy themselves and are super accommodating. The beach is a 2 minute walk down the road, and it is beautiful, and far less crowded than any other beach close to town. You will not be harassed by merchants or vendors here. The walk into town is about 5-10 minutes, and there is a convenience store and a Starbucks 5 minutes away. We saw amazing birds and wildlife, and watched the sun set from the incredible rooftop after grilling delicious food outside. This is a huge and great place, and the family is wonderful! You will not regret this rental!.

Casa Passalacqua was a great place to spend this past New Year's. The house was clean, airy and well laid out, especially considering the size of our group: 10 adults and 2 infants. The kitchen is well stocked with all the necessary equipment to do some serious local culinary exploration, which we did most of our 8 night stay. The master suite on the 3rd floor is unbelievable, amazing views and the Jacuzzi is right there on the deck. Carlos and Eleanora did a fantastic job with everything and the local staff was very helpful and friendly. Overall the experience was something my whole family would definitely do again.
My favorite aspect of the house was the location: close to the beach (<5 minutes stroll) and within easy walking distance of downtown, yet far enough away from the crowds to remain quiet and relaxing. The community is gated and security is topnotch, something we hadn't experienced in Mexico before. It really makes a difference since everyone walking the streets is either vacationing or living within the community.
In fact, if I had to point out anything "disappointing" it would be the stove/oven: it is underpowered by my (admittedly high) standards so be prepared to split large meals across multiple pans and burners. For example: cooking rice & beans for ten required three pots, not a huge deal but something to be aware of for anyone intending to self-cater, especially with a large group. Also, the grill on the top desk takes some getting used to, it is really windy up there so be prepared for a challenge when you go to “fire up the barbie”. I realize many people don't go on vacation to cook for themselves but it's important to me...if you don't care then there is literally nothing disappointing about the property.
When you go (and you should, the house is fabulous) be sure to eat at El Fogon on Calle 6/Avenida 30. It is well worth the 20 minute walk. Also, check out the local grocery DAC (also on Avenida 30) for great local produce and an amazing variety of spices and dried ingredients. The selection at DAC will inspire you to whip up some truly amazing authentic dishes in no time!
PS – the street tacos outside the bus station are to die for and at roughly 80 cents apiece are probably the cheapest meal you will find in Playa :)

Our wonderful Mexican vacation at Casa Passalacqua
Submitted: July 6, 2010
Stayed: June 2010
Every aspect of our trip to Eleonora Passalacqua's beautiful villa in Playa del Carmen exceeded our espectations. From the very beginning Eleonora has been very helpful and responsive, and honest and straightforward. I would certainly return to her villa for an even longer vacation.
We were a family of seven including two young grandsons. We did not feel crowded at all, and everyone enjoyed as much privacy as he/she wanted.The rooms are large and tastefully appointed wtih extensive marble treatments. The grandsons particularly enjoyed the rooftop jaccuzi.
We had the Mexican chef Maria come and prepare a meal for us, and it was unforgettable. We all agreed hers was the best Mexican food we had tasted anywhere.
Carlos arranged for a van to pick us up at the airport and return us there at the end of the stay. The driver was most courteous, and a good, safe driver. At our request he took us by the Playa Wal Mart after pickup at the airport so we could stock up on necessities.
I found the most attractive aspect of Casa Passalacqua is its close proximity to downtown Playa. A walk of 5 - 10 minutes brought us to the famous 5th avenue where we found a plethora of restaurants, and plenty of shopping for the ladies. A tip to pass on: the further north you go on 5th avenue, the nicer the stores and restaurants. We didn't discover this until our week was almost over.
I was frankly a bit nervous about going on vacation in Mexico, but we felt completely safe at all times. The crime you read about is way up north on the border with the USA. The Mayan Riviera is quiet and peaceful, and the people are courteous and friendly.
I was also nervous about making such a transaction by phone and internet, and sending a large sum of money to someone I don't know. Eleonora has proved all my fears false. She is an honest and trustworthy person.
Would I return to Casa Passalacqua? You betcha!
