LA PALAPA AT BLUE IVY HI SPEED FIBER OPTIC INTERNET FULLY AIRCONDITIONED

Located on the town (beach side) of Puerto Morelos. Sea views from upstairs in la palapa. A short 4 minute walk to wide beach entrance. Easy 20 min walk to town on beach or paved road for biking or walking. 8 minute drive to town. 10 min on bike. A private home with stunning new pool in one of the most beautiful settings in Puerto Morelos. A stay in our two story Beach House offers “the best of all possible worlds”

Combining a 'traditional' Mayan Palapa with a modern Adobe home, great snorkeling and swimming with easy beach access. Large front sundeck and back terrace deck with heavenly outdoor shower and gorgeous completely private pool.
Downstairs fully air conditioned living room bedroom air conditioned with en suite bath.
Upstairs in la palapa is also fully air conditioned shower on outside terrace.
We are located in the town of Puerto Morelos, only twenty minutes south of Cancun airport and ten minutes from the main highway leading to historic Mayan sites, popular tourist attractions and modern shopping and dining.

The upstairs 'Palapa' (newly air conditioned) has a twenty-five foot high thatched peaked ceiling with varnished wood beams and tiled floors, a king size bed and hammocks, a private bathroom and two outdoor sundecks – one facing the ocean where you can sunbathe and enjoy the Caribbean breezes – fabulous sunsets over the jungle from the back terrace. You can watch the sun rise from your upstairs bed or luxuriate in an invigorating outdoor shower surrounded by palms and bamboo trees.

The town plaza of Puerto Morelos is only five minutes by car, taxi, an easy bike ride or a twenty-minute leisurely walk along the beach. Puerto Morelos, a small unassuming town with all the conveniences you could desire and no tourist congestion, boasts fine restaurants, a pizza parlor, cafés, a playground, church, beaches, a grocery store, a bookstore, a travel agency, and a dive shop (if you decide not to snorkel from the beach in front of the Palapa) and once a week an outdoor fresh produce market.

You can also sun and shop and play in Cancun or Playa del Carmen or tour the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza, Coba and Tulum. The entire coast (the Mayan Riviera) is one long stretch of beautiful beaches, cabanas, and ecological environmental parks where you can horseback ride, swim in ceynotes and underground caves and visit the historical Mayan Ruins. Taxis are plentiful and reasonable for trips up and down the coast. There are also tour buses to various Mayan sites that can be booked in Puerto.

The biggest problem? You'll never want to leave!!

Family March Break, One Week Stay
We just had the most amazing stay at Colleen and Nora's place in Puerto Morelos! The house had everything we needed for our family of five, including the best weather! How they arranged that, I'll never know. We were travelling with three children (12, 10, 8). We were delayed by two hours, but Nora graciously waited for us to arrive to give us an introductory house tour. The house slept us all comfortably, stayed cool when we needed it, and felt super safe. The house, pool, and yard lived up to our expectations. Plenty of drinking water was provided and the full kitchen was perfect for whipping up meals when we didn't feel like eating out. We loved the convenience of being just a 20-minute walk or a quick 8-minute bike ride away from town. Colleen extended help with a driver, amenity access, and activity planning. Super helpful! Activities: public beach access (it's just across the road and absolutely stunning), cenotes, snorkeling. We couldn't have asked for a better spot.

Incredible Hosts!
The property is in a great location close to Puerto Morelos. Off street, secure parking. Beautiful pool and grounds. Everything we needed for our stay. I don't have enough great words to describe the kindness of the hosts. My wife slipped and broke her leg the day we were to check in. We were several hours late and were treated wonderfully. Nora escorted us to the grocery store and gave us a brief tour of the beautiful town. We are looking forward to our next visit. Thank you, Nora and Colleen!

Simply Amazing!
This property is truly a gem! The pool was perfect and the house was spotless, well equipped, and gorgeous. The two bicycles were a fun way to get to town, though I would recommend renting a car if you have small children or a larger group of people as the taxis end up being kind of spendy and the walk into town is pretty long. Communication with the hosts was excellent, they really took care of us! Hope we can make this an annual vacation spot!

Nice house
The house was clean and very well stocked. Very spacious. Lots of books and puzzles for rainy days. Good internet. Pool was nice but not heated and cool. It will get cooler over winter. Would have appreciated 4 lounge chairs by the pool for tanning.

Private Paradise
What a unique and wonderful find this home is! Looking for a place for my wife and I to get away for our anniversary, and we found the Palapa. The pictures of the pool area drew us in initially, and they didn’t disappoint. The pool area was lush and beautiful, and delivered the privacy and seclusion that we were hoping for. Once the gate to the property is closed, you feel like you’ve been swept away to a private oasis where the rest of the world doesn’t exist. Inside the home was also exactly as pictured. It was very clean, comfortable and cozy. The home also is conveniently stocked with all of the necessities for everyday living. Given that is was just the two of us, we chose to sleep in the Palapa instead of the 1st floor bedroom. What a unique treat! The second floor palapa is essentially one large “master suite”, complete with a sitting area, lounge chairs, and even a hammock. Opening all of the windows eliminated any need for air conditioning, as the ocean breeze kept the home at a comfortable temp, even in the mid-to-late afternoons. The home is conveniently located in the charming town of Puerto Morelos. The beach is just across the street from the home. A short walk will lead you to numerous beachfront options for bars, restaurants, and even massages. We tended to walk the beach into town for dinner, groceries, etc., the take a quick taxi ride home at the end of the evening. Taxis are readily accessible in Puerto Morelos, and very inexpensive ($5 home).

Loved this house..
Colleen and Nora were great hosts. They were very helpful and even drove us to town and showed us around. The house is great and very well equipped with about anything you need. Having our own pool was so nice. I highly recommend this property. Felt very safe the whole time we were there. We even met some of the neighbors who were very nice. Actually everyone we met in Puerto Morelos were very friendly and made us feel very welcome.

The perfect place to relax!!
Nora and Colleen are the perfect hosts. On our first day, Nora drove us around town and introduced the family to the popular restaurants and lay of the land. Our family enjoyed a full week and tremendously enjoyed our stay at La Palapa at Blue Ivy, a beautiful Villa. The grounds, of this Mayan palapa, are well kept with its own private pool caretaker. The Villa is air conditioned and well stocked with everything you would need for a relaxing time (linen, towels, 2 bicycles, pool). The upstairs’ bedroom is exquisite with a beautiful, thatched roof and wraparound sun deck. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could think of for preparing meals. Each morning we woke to the sounds of tropical birds, a beautiful backyard and tropical garden, where we enjoyed breakfast and a swim. In the evenings we enjoyed the built-in grill and lighted pool. While the villa is approximately one mile from the heart of town, it is close enough to ride by bicycle if you’re in tip-top shape. Taxis are inexpensive but if you’re up for driving, the town is both quaint and safe. Puerto Morelos is a wonderful city where people are friendly, family oriented and patient. There’s lots to do in and around Puerto Morelos! We will, definitely, return to Puerto Morelos and, especially, La Palapa at Blue Ivy--the perfect place to relax.

There are not enough words to describe this amazing home and experience. It is comfortable, beautiful and has everything you would desire to make you feel at home in paradise. The owners were wonderful and Nora gave us a warm welcome including a mini tour of Puerto Morelos. The private pool is beautiful and sleeping in the palapa was an extraordinary experience. The location is perfect, we had the small town atmosphere with the convenience of being centrally located for day trips. We wanted for nothing, including fresh drinking water, lots of towels, laundry room access and a well stocked home. The beds are super comfortable and we had all the privacy you could desire. We highly recommend this property and hope to stay there again. Strong 5 stars. Thank you Colleen and Nora for exceeding our expectations and making our vacation beyond fabulous.

Little Oasis
The house was very clean and private. Had everything needed for our stay. Pool and outdoor cooking area were lovely. There was a perfect crossbreeze through the upstairs windows, so you wake up to the sounds of the birds and a view of sunrise over the ocean. Norma showed us around town as part of check in. Both hosts were available if we needed anything via whatsapp
