Wonderful little condo by the sea in the heart of everything. Loved our stay!
From the moment we booked the condo, we were welcomed with such kindness by Eduardo and his sister Ariadna (owners/managers of the condo). Even six months in advance, they continually assisted us with all the questions we had about the suite as well as Cancun and Mexico in general. Being our first trip to Mexico (from Australia) and very unfamiliar with what to expect, Eduardo and Ariadna were our first experience of the warm, kind and lovely people we were yet to meet. We have not experienced such care and consideration as we received from Eduardo and Ariadna from other property hosts. They certainly made a lasting first impression with us! Very sweet.
We organized separately for Ariadna to help with our airport transfers. After also exchanging photos of ourselves, we were greeted by Ariadna at the airport with a welcoming hug! Ariadna showed us around town and the main convenience stores and key spots (all within very short walking distance from the condo) before taking us through the suite and hotel facilities. The condo fridge came stocked with bottled water and they also kindly threw in some welcoming cold beer for us, which was perfect after such a long flight.
The suite was cool and clean (just as the pictures reflect) and perfect for us - two adults and our two little ones (who grew quite attached to Ariadna in an instant). The pool was lovely overlooking a nice private section of the Cancun beach. Bliss.
Overall we had a lovely stay...albeit short this time round. But would love to return and will definitely keep in touch with our wonderful hosts. Cancun is lovely (lots to see and do) but certainly comes to life at night - definitely the party town! As a family, we mostly enjoyed (and would highly recommend) a day trip to Isla Mujeres which is only a short ferry ride from Cancun. The ferry port is also a very short walk from the condo which was perfect. We hired a golf cart and zipped around the islands gorgeous beaches and top sight seeing spots for the day and enjoyed a fresh seafood lunch on its stunning beaches overlooking the turquoise Caribbean waters). Just perfecto!
The condo is situated on the main road and a short (and very cheap) bus trip to La Isla shopping mall and also loads of lovely restaurants which Ariadna recommended. ;)
Muchas Gracias Eduardo, Armando and Ariadna for making a lasting first impression of Cancun and Mexico for us and for being such gracious hosts!
Sharon, Steve and the kids. xx
