30 Reviews of Property 150164 in Xcalak, Yucatan / Mayan Riviera

Sabrina and I stayed in 3 different places, we enjoyed Xcalak the most. Such peace, quiet, no need for canned air, the sea breeze was almost a constant. It stormed one night, by morning the deck and dining floor were already dry. We have wonderful pictures of angels, puffers, eels, rays, one eagle ray that was going to fly right over me before it saw me and banked to my lt, what a rush. Also saw turtles, squid, octopus, lobster, crabs, conch, you have it all, I could go on for lines. I'm already to come back. I love the air flow in the house and the fact that the kitchen is it's own little room with lots of light.
Thank you too for the bottle of wine, very nice.
Gabriel and Martha were always helpful even on their day off.
Jane was so hospitable, inviting us to come to their house to snorkel with her. She also helped us with a grocery list translated into spanish. This will become one of our regular packing item. If I could make a living down there I'd be one of your neighbors. I so hope the Mexican government never puts a cruise port in Xcalak, it would ruin the place. One night Sabrina was standing on the dock in town when a run of fish came in. Within a few minutes every family member was there with buckets and lines catching fish as fast as they could pull them in. This is something you never see in Cozumel or Akumal although plenty of locals do fish. You just never see the entire family going at it.
This trip we saw many trumpet fish. After the huricanes of 2005 I hadn't seen trumpets for many years. Unfortunately, I also saw many lion fish. Leaky Palapa served Lionfish Tacos one day til they were sold out.
I will be back. My daughter needs to come to Xcalak. Will contact you later. We came back to two snow storms and have close to a foot of snow on the ground.
Thanks so much.
