Absolutely amazing spot for 17 adults. Food and service was the best part. Easy to get to the beach, less than 2 minute walk. Everyone was very accommodating for our intimate wedding service. The grounds and pool are beautiful and there's so much room between the 2 houses for everyone.
Martin was a great host! The property worked perfectly for our large family gathering! We used the pool (which was perfectly heated) often. We also utilized the chef services for every dinner and the meals were outstanding!
Our week at Martin’s place was wonderful! The house and property were beautiful and large enough for our whole family of 20 people to have plenty of space. And Martin even provided a crib and high chair for our youngest granddaughter. The pool was amazing — warm and had plenty of pool toys for all our grandkids. We had a chef for a few meals and that was wonderful too. They accommodated our food needs and worked very hard to please us in every way and then cleaned up all the dishes afterwards. The quick walk to a beautiful beach was wonderful! It really is a gorgeous beach! The kids also loved seeing the coatis that lived in the jungle behind the house. Martin lives on the property, so he was right there if we needed anything. Stay at this place! You won’t be disappointed!
Huge house with all the amenities we needed. Easy to find, very secure, and a great location. Big thank you to Martin and Isai for being terrific hosts.
Our group of 13 adults stayed for five days and four nights. The property was nicely taken care of and very comfortable for our group.
The property owner, Martin, was very quick to answer any questions we had and helpful in answering our questions about the area.
The dinner we had prepared by the chef was amazing and one of the best meals of our entire trip.
Everyone from our group highly recommends this property and the property owners.
Our stay was incredible! The house was perfect for our group of 16. There are plenty of places to hang out as a big group and space to go off on your own and have some alone time. The beach was a little hard to access, so we ended up spending more time at the house which was fine since it's very beautiful and private. The food was amazing and overall we're so happy with our experience!
Martin’s villa is absolutely gorgeous - well-landscaped, incredible pool, and just a short walk to the beach. He made planning extremely straightforward and accommodated all needs (and changes) for the trip well in advance and during. Would highly recommend for a group of families or friends.
Our Family from various parts in the US arrived and had a wonderful time. The facilities were wonderful, the place well maintained. The food exceptional! There was no need to go out and eat. Various side tours were organized by ourselves and all in all, everything was great. Would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone looking for a great place to rect and relax.
It was a surprise to learn that our group was staying in 2 different buildings. You should make sure the description of the property corresponds with the internet. I had a room above the kitchen and the cook and helpers were very loud early in the morning usually 6AM! The food was good, but I had enough tortillas to last me a while. Loved the big palms and the nice weather!
We had a family reunion and really enjoyed our stay. The food was excellent and so convenient. The fridge was stocked with water, sodas, beer. Margaritas were provided. Our family had people from 8 to 80 and accommodated us well. The pool was warm, almost hot. Martin was extremely responsive. Something to know about the villa is Martin lives on site so he was around which was ok by us. Also the beach is close, 5 minutes walk however was somewhat small. It is an easy location to get to Playa del Carmen. Definitely recommend staying here!
It was a great house/houses. Plenty of gathering spots both inside and outside. A quick walk to the beach. The chef, Mercedes, made all our dinners and it was more than worth it. Cirque de Soleil is almost withing walking distance. We went there on Thanksgiving evening and it was wonderful, as usual. I would definitely recommend this villa/villas.
The villas were perfect. Two huge kitchens that were very well equipped.
The location was so great. Just a minute walk from the beach. The access to the beach was a little precarious, I just wish I knew that to prepare the group that I was with.
I am a yoga instructor who is hired to bring groups on fitness vacation. This group had a lot of requests and Martin was very quick to respond each time they needed something.
Martin was helpful through out the whole process leading up to the trip as well and provided a lot of information and fast replies to questions.
Great place great food great staff and great times!
We were a large family group consisting of grandparents, their children and grandchildren (17 people ranging in age from 10 to 72) The property was very clean, the pool was warm and beautiful, and the villas were perfect. The women who provided the dinners for us were friendly and cooked delicious meals. The beach to the left of the villa was not crowded and good swimming but a little challenging to access. The beach directly to the right was quite crowded. Kitchen was well appointed and there were many options and nooks for visiting. Martin, the host, was very helpful and friendly. The only item to improve our stay would be better access to hot water for showers. A note to other renters to ask for boogie boards and extra toys if they are not left out for you to access.
This property was perfect for our family vacation. It is exactly as described, so no surprises upon arrival. Our group consisted of 8 adults and 6 kids. There was plenty of space for group gatherings, and enough bedrooms/ bathrooms for everyone’s privacy. The kitchens were spacious and well equipped for meal preparation, with 4 refrigerators. We used the chef services for dinners, and the food was exceptional. The staff could not have been more pleasant or accommodating.
The house was immaculate upon arrival, and cleaned thoroughly and frequently throughout our stay.
The pool was perfect for our group which included kids from 3-14 . The entire pool was heated, so swimming at any time of day was comfortable. The shallow pool was perfect for the little ones, and had seats to allow the adults to congregate as well. We could all fit in the pool without crowding.
There were 2 beaches with walking distance. The closer beach was a 2 minute walk, but required navigation over some stones to access. There were high winds during our stay, which made it a little tricky but doable. The other beach was a 10 minute walk, and was much less crowded, and calmer. Both beaches were clean, and offered snorkeling opportunities.
Our host Martin was very helpful, and offered lots of information on sightseeing and local customs. He was available at any time, and made us feel very welcome!
We hosted our family reunion of 20 people at this beautiful Mexican property and had a wonderful stay. The house was spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean.The highlights: the pool and beach access were incredible - our grandkids spent hours in the pool and at the beach, and the beach is just a 3-5 minute walk away. The chef service was outstanding - the ladies who cooked our lunch and dinner daily were talented and sweet, and the food was truly exceptional. .One important note: the homeowner, Martin, lives on-site in a separate section. While he’s helpful and informative, he does come and go through the property frequently. Some family members found this intrusive when looking for complete privacy. If you prefer a fully private rental experience, this is something to consider.Overall, a fantastic property with wonderful amenities - just be aware it comes with an on-site owner.
Martin is a great host and Mercedes cooked every meal to perfection!

Great Place
House, rooms, grounds and amenities were great. We opted for the meal plan and the food and cooking was amazing. It was prepared on time, authentic, fresh and delicious.
We had an incredible time at this property with our family of 16 (10 adults and 6 kids). The grounds and pool were beautiful, the walk to the beach was quick and Martin was always super responsive. We hired Mercedes for several meals and the food was beyond amazing - this is a must!

Wonderful Stay!
What an amazing Villa! Not only an incredible property, but we felt taken care of at every turn. I would highly recommend this place for someone who wants a beautiful vacation rental, a close walk to the beach, and access to all the Playa Del Carmen has to offer. Highly recommended.
Gorgeous villa, private and secure. Wonderful place to relax and take a break from the cold weather. Beach is a short walk away, beautiful and not crowded.
The chefs for our meals were magnificent!
Our whole family of 25 had a vacation to remember!
My friends and I (15 27yr olds) had an amazing time. The house was beautiful and the chefs were amazing. The property manager was very responsive for all our needs and store errands. Would recommend everyone stay here!
