By day, soak up the sun on your private balcony or relax by the infinity pool situated within feet of the Caribbean. You can also enjoy the sunbathing ledge that is built into the pool or venture into the gentle waters of the Caribbean. Take a walk down the beach and collect coral and shells.

Perfect paradise stay

This was an amazing place to stay..clean, comfortable, fabulous pool, very safe, friendly locals, walking distance into town (by road, not by beach) and so many great places to eat! The hosts checked in on us and were very responsive when we needed things like the filtered water replaced. Air conditioning worked amazing. We are pleasantly surprised to see the balcony is larger than what it appears in the photos with plenty of seating. The ocean was steps away but, as others reported, the seaweed is a problem. We expected to see the crystal clear blue Caribbean water, but that was the only disappointing thing about this place. If you're looking for a relaxing place, that you feel safe at, and can walk into town this is it! Don't think twice! We also met some really kind people at the pool who directed us on activities to do!

Puerto Morelos Vacation

Communication with the owners was excellent. Checkin in process was very easy. The condo was a ten minute walk into Puerto Morelos and very accessible to restaurants and bars. The property was maintained very well by a hard working team. The condo itself exceeded all of our needs although it would have been nice to have had an oven. Having said that we used the toaster oven for some things. The beds were very comfortable with linens provided. Both bedrooms had well equipped ensuites. The kitchen staples are readily available in Puerto Morelos along with a great grocery store and fish market and all necessary amenities. The Infiniti pool was gorgeous however not heated. All in all it was an awesome vacation and great place to stay. Thank you to the Arlene dream team.

Another great vacation

We have stayed Caribbean Reef Villas four times in the past and this condo was the nicest unit that we have stayed at. The view from the balcony was great (sunrise looking out to the sea, sunset over the mangroves and cruise ships coming up the coast in the evening). The unit is well furnished and very comfortable. The property is well maintained and the pool was never crowded. We are hoping that we will be able to stay here again on our next visit to Puerto Morelos.

Peaceful respite

The villa was a great place to relax and enjoy all the wonderful restaurants in Puerto Morelos. It was decorated with gorgeous artwork and plenty of reading material. The walk into town was about 15 minutes and we would take a cab back at night.

Great location as a homebase for exploring the area.

Sherry and Frank’s condo is beautiful, well-kept, and filled with lovely art. The beds were so comfortable and the balcony views wonderful. The staff were very responsive and Pedro took us to Tulum one day, and to the Cenote Verde Lucero another. The pool is so refreshing...we mostly enjoyed it in the late afternoon/early evening. The only drawback for staying at this wonderful location is if you want to spend time on the beach as the seaweed piled up each day. Overall we truly enjoyed our 5 nights at this condo... and we fell in love with Puerto Morelos!

Great Condo in Puerto Morelos

Our family enjoyed our stay at Carribean Reef very much. It's a well-maintained property in a good location (walkable to town, but far enough away so as to be calm and quiet). The condo was very nicely appointed, well-stocked and clean. Beds were very comfortable. We were a family of three and it was the perfect size for us. The grounds crew worked tirelessly to clear up the sargassum, but piles of it floated ashore as soon as it was cleared. It didn't bother us at all, though, as the pool was lovely and we had plenty of sea-time on our diving trips. Frank and Sherry were very responsive to my emails and messages, and great to work with. We would definitely stay here again!

Lovely condo

We loved staying at this condo and will look forward to returning. It was recently remodeled and it is functional as well as beautiful. The deck is spacious and we loved being able to see the sunrise and sunset from there. My husband enjoyed the walk to town. It was a bit too far for me but taxi's are easy to get and very reasonable.

Don’t hesitate to come to Puerto Morelos!!! And this is the place to stay!!

If you are looking to experience to vacation in very safe laid back cultural town in Mexico Puerto-Morelos is right for you. You will be able to walk freely to eat anything your heart desires, shop among many of the local shops and take in the beautiful beach in town. Locals will know you by the end of your stay. My husband, 17yr old and 21yr old just had the most amazing vacation and thanks to finding Frank and Sherry’s rental at Caribbean reef Villas which in our opinion was the perfect location definitely made our week perfect. What you see is what you get in the condo when you walk in will be exactly as pictured ( I wish I could have bottled up the smell of the laundry and took it home ) The condo literally has everything you need even beach towels . The kitchen was super easy to cook in just go to the local grocery store which is about a 10 minute walk into town, get what you need for the week to do a few meals, stock up on some cold ones but take a cab back for five dollars. You will enjoy the most beautiful view out of the balcony and the pool is absolutely stunning and very refreshing. Too bad of the seaweed in front of the condo, they do work really hard at trying to remove it but I do believe that seaweed is very bad everywhere this year. No worries you can still get your toes in the sand and Wade and the beautiful waves of the ocean maybe find a shell or two. The showers are amazing and the beds are very comfortable . Frank and Sherry are very honest and I thank them for responding to my annoying inquiries and encouraging us to make Puerto morales our vacation spot and to stay there . We definitely enjoyed our mornings on the balcony and evenings on the balcony talking about our day. We enjoyed that 10 minute stroll into town which we did quite often even in the very dark so very dark we had to turn the flashlights on our phones to see where we were going but we felt very safe( you could rent bikes in town for the week to get around but we opted not to ) we booked an all day excursion in the town to visit Cobá and Tulum and to swim in a Cenote to end with a stop in Playa Del Carmen. We did a two hour snorkeling excursion as well ( which was plenty of time , we were definitely wore out) definitely the most beautiful snorkeling experience we ever had . So yes we would visit Puerto morelos again and yes Frank and Sherry’s condo will be the place for us to stay .

Incredible Ocean Front Condo

Had an excellent stay at a beautiful ocean front condo over the Christmas Holidays. Everything you needed was right there including spectacular views and an awesome pool. The condo staff was also quite helpful from getting extra towels to arranging transportation. The condo was just far enough out of town to provide peace and tranquility all of the time while on property yet a short walk to shopping and restaurants. We couldn't have picked a better spot for our vacation. No doubt this place is highly recommended!!

Amazing vacation home!

We just returned from yet another amazing vacation in Puerto Morelos. We loved this condo. It had a very well equipped kitchen. We had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable. We were initially surprised with the empty/dirty lot next door but when we sat out on our patio overlooking the pool/ocean having our coffee or cocktails, we really didn't notice it any more. We had some issues with the air conditioner leaking which was a fluke that caught even the owner by surprise. They were so responsive, as was the staff, at taking care of it and ensuring our comfort that it really didn't effect our wonderful vacation. Frank and Sherry were so communicative prior to our trip. They answered tons of questions about things to do and even called to recommend a wonderful chef since they could not post the number via VRBO. Dona Sonia and Chef Marco were fun and the food was amazing. We will use them again on our next trip! We spent our afternoons laying by or floating in the pool. The staff keeps the place really well maintained and even knocked on our door at 11:00 one night to let me know I left the lights on in my rental car. THANK YOU! Thank you Frank and Sherry for your responsiveness. We really enjoyed our stay.

It's "Magical"

We recently returned home from our second stay at this condo, the first being in January. We returned here for our 25th wedding anniversary just a couple of weeks ago, as we could not think of anyplace more special to celebrate. There are so many reasons for our choice of this condo, almost impossible to list them all. But----here is just some of it's "magic": it is a third floor, corner condo, and it has views of both sunrises and sunsets, very rare to find this, we think; the condo overlooks a beautiful large infinity pool and the ocean, throw in the palm trees and lush plants, you feel like it can't even be real; it has a huge kitchen with center isle plus state of the art appliances and all of the kitchen gadgets you would ever need; the condo is beautifully furnished and decorated with comfortable furnishings and the most fantastic selection of artwork even imaginable; it felt like we were living in a home we could never even dream of having. If you ran out of books to read, they have many, many for you to enjoy. More important than the physical appearance of the condo were the people who made this all happen. Frank and Sherry made us feel like we were the only guests they had ever had; their communication with us from the very start was warm and inviting (and caring), right down to the bottle of "bubbly" waiting for us upon arrival for our anniversary. The staff at the development were such hard working people, doing everything from taking care of the landscaping, cleaning the pool, and even making sure the beach was clean. Arlene, in particular, just melted our hearts. She and her helper worked six days a week and were always visible. The development is about one mile from the small village of Puerto Morelos and you could walk there, or just hop in a taxi for a short trip. We had a great choice of restaurants, and the prices were most reasonable. We found several of them to be our favorites and can't wait to visit them again. By the way, we have booked this condo for a week in November and also in February, which should tell you how special it is. We are already counting the days until we return.

AS ADVERTISED! TASTEFULLY NEW DECOR, CLEAN, SPACIOUS, WELL EQUIPPED

This is he second and best condo we have stayed in at Caribbean Reef Villas. We obviously like the location. Sherry and Frank's condo was excellent in every way. It is well equipped with good mattresses, coffee makers, Tea "brewers" (We don't drink Tea), blender, tons of dishes, glasses, pans and cutlery. Books, movies, TV, games, towels pillows etc. We rented bikes rather than a car and the easy ride to town was short and more "Margarita and Cerveza friendly" than an auto after dinners in Puerto Morelos. We were able to watch sunrises and sunsets as well as overlook the very nice clean well kept pool from the balcony. The third floor, two easy flights of stairs up, is ideal. The Condo seemed brand new as it has recently been redecorated. I would recommend this unit highly! We had numerous conversations via email with Sherry and Frank and they are responsive, honest and easy to deal with before during and after our stay. The staff at the Caribbean Reef Villas is friendly and attentive without being intrusive. All and all a great place to stay very near too, but quieter than being in, Puerto Morelos. -Rod (Rodrigo en Méjico) y Sue

Lovely condo, great view

We had a perfect stay here in Puerto Morelos -- the condo is well appointed, with a brand new bathroom, and all the kitchen gear you could want. The pool is beautiful! This particular condo is well situated on the southwest corner so you can see the sunrise and sunset perfectly from the balcony. The large mirror in the living room makes the whole space light and airy -- I highly recommend!

Just Breathtaking

From the moment we arrived and were warmly greeted by the friendly staff we knew that this would be a very special eight days. The condo itself is fabulous and exceeded our high expectations in every way. Top quality furnishings and finishes throughout, accented by amazing artwork. We love to dabble in the kitchen, preparing appetizers to enjoy on the balcony, and the kitchen was a dream with high quality appliances, dinnerware and cutlery. Lovely bathrooms with custom showers that made you want to linger and relax a little longer. The corner balcony provides great 270 degree views and was a wonderful spot to enjoy the authentic Yucatecan dinner that we had prepared by local chefs Marco and Sonia; absolutely one of the highlights of the trip. The pool was sparkling and mere feet from the sea. Never a problem finding space at the pool or the beach. Everyone was so pleasant and the condo owners who were there went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We did the easy walk into town every day to sample the fantastic restaurants and we sampled them to the extent that we never actually walked back, instead taking the fifty peso taxi ride. Just a great vacation, we really look forward to returning.

Best Equipped Condo Ever, Very Responsive Owners

The grounds and views from this property are outstanding there is a lovely pool and beach area where one can easily relax and watch the day go by or just sit on your private balcony. The condo itself was immaculate and had everything you could possibly need for an extended stay. Everything was in perfect working condition and of high quality (loved the Ninja coffee maker). We had a small issue with the shower head in the master bedroom and contacted the owners who quickly responded, apologized for any inconvenience and sent staff over to repair it as soon a possible. Very impressive response indeed. The only cons are beyond the owner's power to do anything about, namely: you need to walk along a narrow sometimes busy road to get to the town center because you cannot walk the entire way along the beach as it is blocked by a fenced pier used for container shipments. The bottom line is our stay involved a little more walking but that was a small price to pay for having such a well equipped, comfortably furnished piece of paradise hosted by such considerate owners. I miss the balcony, pool, beach, sound of the waves and the lovely breeze coming through the condo and I would recommend staying here in a heartbeat. Fantastic Property

A slice of Paradise

Never having been to Puerto Morelos before, we had to depend upon property descriptions and pictures to help us decide where to stay. Frank and Sherry, the villa owners, made their villa sound like something perfect for us. From the moment we entered their villa, we knew we had not made a mistake. It was all that they said, but so much more. It was magical, from the selection of art throughout the villa, to the view of both pool and ocean, to the kitchen "to die for", the comfortable bed, and the total ambiance of the entire space. My husband and I felt totally comfortable there. Because this villa was a third floor corner one, we were able to view both the sunrise and sunset from our balcony. (one of life's simple pleasures). The staff of this property was fantastic. They were quick to answer any questions, eager to help, and hard at work all the time. The villa is one of only 21 villas in the property, making it seem like home. We felt totally safe at all times. The pool is awesome, but not heated, so it took us awhile to work up the courage to get in. Once in, the swimming was beautiful; the pool furniture is comfortable. While the property is about a mile from the actual town of Puerto Morelos, it is a very easy walk. In addition, we found other desirable routes to walk and did so daily. Taxis are plentiful and inexpensive. Puerto Morelos itself is very laid back and charming. We found several restaurants we loved and visited them more than once during our stay. For us, this was a five star property. We actually have already planned a return visit to the town and the very same villa in a couple of months to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We have been in love with Mexico for many years, and go there two or three or times a year, if possible, to find that "perfect place" for us. We certainly have decided that the town and Frank and Sherry's villa is at the top of our list.
