MAGICAL!!!
This is the first VRBO that I've ever stayed at (and I've stayed at LOTS) that I'm at a loss for words for a review. The only word that best sums it up is MAGICAL. We arrived LATE (9pm) to Chicxulub, but Santiago and Geraldina met us, helped us with our luggage and showed up around. Geraldina checked in with us every few days to make sure everything was A-OK! I actually feel we made close friends with them both on this trip!The condo: A spotless! It was impeccable and not just the unit but the entire grounds, pool, etc. The condo is ON the beach - literally! It's not across the street, or a block away, but ON THE BEACH. The ocean is swimmable every day and you can walk for miles on the white sand beach and MAYBE see 1-2 other people! Seriously! Around 5pm every night, the birds (pelicans, frigate birds, and laughing gulls) migrate from Progreso past the condo. Because you're in the penthouse, they fly at EYE LEVEL - I've never witnessed anything like this in all my life!We absolutely loved the town and people of Chicxulub - so incredibly friendly and welcoming! You're a 15min walk to an Oxo, liquor store, public market, shops, etc. We walked everywhere and LOVED it. Uber is VERY good here - we Ubered into Progreso and Merida every day to explore! This is AUTHENTIC Mexico with beautiful, friendly people everywhere! This is not like staying in the "compounds" in Cancun. I honestly can't say enough GREAT things about this! We'll DEFINATELY be back!
