Family Vacation

Overall, our stay was pleasant. The pool was the best part of our experience. The beach was further away than advertised - a 10-15 minute walk. The house and grounds were extremely clean, although the property was showing its age in a number of ways. The well-stocked kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances served us well as we did our own cooking. Plenty of bottled water for our use. Martin, the owner/manager, was staying on the property - sometimes an advantage, other times not so much.

Exactly what we were looking for!

Martin and the property were fantastic hosts for our entire stay. The house is amazing, and the staff was so accommodating. I highly HIGHLY recommend Mercedes to do your shopping/cooking. She was the highlight of the trip making authentic Mexican food for us 3x/day for our group of 9 adults and 5 children. Definitely want to come back here. Thankyou to everyone that made this trip so memorable!

Beautiful home

We had three families totaling 13 people and we had ample enough room. This is a huge house, full of luxury. The photos don't do it justice. The pool area and surrounding gardens are amazing. The two kitchens are next to one another which we found to be quite convenient. We asked Martin to have the two dining tables next to each other and our request was honored. Although the beach is close, the house doesn't get a sea breeze so be wary as there are quite a few mosquitoes. The closest beach has some rocky areas so water shoes are recommended.

Incredible property! Great for families!

We just got back after a several-night stay at the Villa, and we had such an amazing time! The grounds were beautiful. There were two kitchens, one for guests and one for the chefs to use when preparing meals (optional). The air-conditioning was functional and strong. We had seven children, including a couple of 1-year-olds, so we moved some of the nice ceramics to nothing got broken. The pools were excellent, with the double warm shallow pool particularly great for the young kids. The beach was beautiful (despite a good bit of seaweed) and was only a short (2-minute?) walk away. All-in-all, the villa was perfect for our group, and was made even more spectacular by Mercedes' delicious guacamole, margaritas, and authentic Mexican food! Highly recommend!

Beautiful Property & Great Hosts

First time renting a house in Mexico and we could not have been more pleased with the property or the hosts! The house is large and open, with plenty of space, multiple refrigerators and two full kitchens. Not that you will want to cook much if you are lucky enough to have Mercedes and her team doing the cooking for you - what a treat!!!! The grounds are beautiful, the pool sparkling, and a short walk to the beach. While we were there, the weather was quite windy, but the house is sheltered and we didn't feel anything but a slight breeze at the pool or in the gardens. Martin and Isai could not have been more helpful and responded to any communication within minutes while staying at the house - even if we were just looking for a taxi (which only takes a few minutes to arrive as they are next door at the Iberostar). Thanks for the great stay!!

Amazing! Trip of a lifetime!

This was really the trip of a lifetime for our family of 14...three generations...and something for everyone. The villa is beyond amazing...beautifully landscaped, plenty of room for meals for large groups and privacy with the six bedrooms, and the pool is the jewel of the property. We spent so much time enjoying the pool and waterfalls that it was hard to leave the property for sightseeing. Martin stops by frequently to check on things and gave us great advice about sights, restaurants, directions...anything we needed. We took most of our dinners and some of our breakfasts at the villa, and Mercedes and Sulmi are amazing cooks. We all agreed that the best meals we had in Playa del Carmen were at home. I can't recommend the villa enough. Our stay was perfect! Thank you, Martin! Marlana Valdez

Awesome villa with lots of space, a pool, and near the beach

This property is really extraordinary. We spent a week here with three families, so 13 people total. Plenty of space for all of us, with two living rooms that are adjacent to each other and two kitchens also adjacent. The villa is beautiful, far exceeded my expectations, from the roof top deck with hammocks and shade, to the private, walled grounds with lots of palm trees and tropical plants. The bedrooms are beautiful and spacious and so are the bathrooms. The property is very clean and well maintained. Plenty of tvs although we never used them. The swimming pool had plenty of room for all of us to hang out for a good part of each day. Lots of shade at the pool, too, which you need in Mexico. The beach is a short walk down the path and was great. Martin has beach chairs and boogie boards available, and a few coolers as well. Martin was great with advice about anything and everything and was very accommodating. If he recommends it, do it! Such a great area, and so much to see. The snorkeling spot that Martin recommended was by far one of the best I have ever seen with easy access and lots of fish. The villa is right off the main highway, and next door to the Iberostar, so a really great location. The private chefs were excellent, we hired them for five out of seven nights for dinner. We should have hired them for all seven nights. They made us great authentic Mexican food served with a smile and did the cooking as well as helped with clean up. The only thing we could have have asked for more of is time at this villa! What an awesome experience.

would not return

I would not stay at this or any of Martin's properties again. Starting from the moment we walked in, we were underwhelmed. This was desribed as a "luxury" property. This may have been the case 20 years ago, but it is not now. Martin was sure to let himself in after we arrived to go over his "rules", which included "controlling our children", which we learned was also not letting them play on the grass, play with the rocks, or anything on the property He was actively present several times a day, seemingly to monitor us, and let us know what we were doing wrong. I understand he lives next door but that doesn't give him the right to enter whenever he wants, and to monitor our every move. Quite frankly it was creepy. When you stay at a resort, the manager doesn't let himself in your room to see what you're doing with the place. I understand it might be overwhelming seeing 11 kids 4 and under but he knew the size of our group when we requested the rental. The description of the property said it included life vests, boogie boards and a "private calleta" when we swam with the the turtles. He didn't provide any of those things to us, and actually didn't allow us to use the life vests when we asked because someone accidentally left the laundry door open. I guess it was his way of punishing us. The swimming with the turtles excursion, that was "included with a 7 day rental"was simply telling us to go a public beach in akumel where we could swim with them. We had to rent life jackets because he wasnt willing to provide them to us. The laundry room was kept locked, and we needed to request that it be opened in order to do laundry. We also had mostly cold showers, and a freezing pool, both might be nice when it's 100 but not when it's only 70. There were also no blankets or extra sheets, (at least he said there wasn't), so we used towels to cover our children. The only positive thing about the house was Gemma's cooking. We all really miss that. Sent from my iPhone

Perfect family vacation!

We are a three generation family ages 75 to 9 months. The house, pool, grounds and proximity to beach were perfect for us. The accommodations inside and out are gorgeous and designed for comfort for all ages. The meals were amazing every morning and evening. Everything was kept really clean inside and outside. Martin was available to make sure everything met (and exceeded!) our expectations.

Beautiful, relaxing villa!

A wonderful location for a friend's bachelorette weekend. The pool and grounds were beautiful and it really is just a minute from the beach. Lots of space for everyone in the villa as well. Mercedes prepared delicious meals for us all, what a treat! Martin was so helpful, including arranging transport into Playa for us. Thank you!

Wonderful villa in Playa del Carmen

This six bedroom villa was perfect for our large family. The pools were great since we had several non-swimmers and the beach was a short walk. Perhaps the best was Mercedes the chef and her daughter Leslie - their food was delicious! Mercedes was so kind and helped us with a birthday cake. We would definitely stay here again!

AWESOME!

Everything at house is in mint condition, I loved how we can find and use all the stuff that Martin has on the house, from sandtoys to waffle maker. We enjoyed our vacay and loved the pool, it extremly kid friendly and also enjoyable if you dont go with kids, it has heater and that was a plus for us since we had first timer babies in a pool. OVERALL IS A GREAT PLACE TO STAY. Im not easy to please and I was even barefoot inside the bath and house around. 100 POINTS ON CLEANING. Thank you to Mercedes Isai and Francisco for all the help.

Fantastic Pool and Grounds

We had four adults and 2 kids (20 months and 4 months). Martin was extremely responsive to all of my messages before and during our stay. We had Mercedes do all of our cooking. The meals were fantastic with plenty of food and a good variety. I’d say having the private chef was a highlight of the trip. That, and the pool. The grounds are expansive and incredibly landscaped providing lots of shade around the pool and blocking the winds that were pretty strong down at the beach. The walk to the beach isn’t bad, but it does get a little tiring carrying chairs and everything else down there and then finding a good spot to sit where the water is nice. Ultimately we chose to stay at the pool where it was no effort to go out and relax.

Beautiful Home Close to Incredible Beach, Delicious Chef Cooking!

My girlfriends and I rented Martin's home in late September for a five-day girls’ trip and were completely blown away by the home, the beaches, and the incredible cooking by chef Mercedes! We were a group of 9 adults, and there was more than enough room for all of us to be comfortable. The house was clean and well furnished with plenty of privacy from other homes/hotels; it has 2 kitchens, multiple indoor and outdoor seating/lounging spaces and a huge pool (with floats/rafts!) that we enjoyed and spent a lot of time in. The house was conveniently located for our group as we spent most of our time in town (Playa del Carmen), at the beach or in the pool, aside from a day trip to Tulum. It was roughly a 30 minute drive from the Cancun airport, as well as the main Playa del Carmen downtown area. As soon as we booked our stay, Martin emailed our group a lot of informational documents about what to do, what to expect, etc. However, we found that the taxi drivers had a hard time locating the house, so I’d recommend printing the instructions provided from Martin and/or requesting clear directions in advance. The beach is a very short walk from the house and is beautiful and not crowded! We went to the beach almost every day and enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and warm, clear ocean. The highlight of the trip was definitely the chef, Mercedes! She can be booked beforehand through Martin, and you can choose the meals you want - we did breakfast every day and 2 dinners. Mercedes' cooking is beyond delicious, and she went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and full for each meal she cooked – from fresh guacamole to homemade tortillas and tamales and margaritas to ceviche, Mercedes’ cooking is a cost-effective and delightful option that made our trip extra special. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay and Martin was extremely responsive before, during and after the trip. I highly recommend this home for a big group visiting Playa del Carmen! Big thanks to Martin, Mercedes and Isai for making our trip memorable :)

Bachelorette in Mexico

We had the most amazing weekend at Martin's villa in Playa Paraiso! The house was beautiful, plenty of space for a group of 8 with extra room for more if others wanted to join. We had hired the chef for all of our breakfasts and dinners and Mercedes cooking was delicious and went above and beyond for every meal. Isai, Martin's assistant was available and responsive for every request I had. Isai made our stay so easy, replenishing the groceries and drinks we asked for, setting up taxis and helping us with anything we needed! The outdoor areas had a ton of seating options, the pool was amazing and the beach was a short walk from the home. The house stayed cool from AC and all of the beds were very comfortable. The other villa was not rented so we had the entire property to ourselves. We all cannot wait to come back and will recommend this home to anyone and everyone!

PERFECT! (Covid-19 Vacation!)

This vactaion was quite unusual. We were originally scheduled to be here April 2020 but due to Covid-19 we needed to adjust our dates. That was no problem with Martin. We booked for October 2020. Getting ready packing and a hurricane was due to hit the area where we were going. Martin kept in touch with us faithfully and not until the Thursday before we were leaving did we find out it all was a go!!!! Due to Covid-19 there were still some things closed and we still took all precautions. That did not stop us at all from having an amazing time at this villa. Martin met us on arrival and toured us through the area and the house. The grounds on the property are amazing! So many plants, trees and so green! The pool beautiful! The house was huge, plenty of room and so clean. We were very happy with our choice. Martin was a tremendous help throughout the entire time from the booking until we arrived. He went beyond our expectations and provided excellent attention to our needs. I don't think there was anything he wouldn't have done for us. We decided as a group to go with the semi-inclusive which was great. We had Mercedes as our Chef for the week and we were so happy we did. Her meals were exceptional. We had asked for meals she would like to prepare and we had some of the best mexican food ever! She was also kind to meet our needs for anything special. We did not leave many leftovers, that's for sure! The beach is a very short walk and we were able to enjoy an almost empty beach due to closings of the some of the resorts. The beach is clean, water had some sargassum but that did not stop us from enjoying time in the ocean. The villa was kept clean for us the entire week. We all did pitch in and helped Mercedes when meals were finished to clean up. There are several places to sit and relax and sitting by the pool was wonderful! I would love to go back eventually and I want to thank Martin and his staff for giving us a wonderful vacation!

Excellent facilities, owner and staff were fantastic we highly recommend

We had the wonderful experience of staying at the villa from Feb. 14 to Feb. 22. We were a party of 10 adults and 2 children and the purpose of our stay was to get married on the beach in Mexico. Martin and his crew did a great job setting up on the beach and back at the villa for our special meal and dance. To begin with Martin was is a fantastic host and had everything organized and set up at the villa when we arrived just the way we hoped, they went above and beyond what we expected. Martin came every day to make sure everything was to our satisfaction and then left, except our wedding day when he stayed around to make sure our wedding day went off without a hitch including driving the bride and her party to the beach, which was a nice surprise. We had left everything in the hands of Martin and the flowers, cake and set up was exactly like we hoped if not better. Martin made suggestions on how to save money and where to go for some good experiences which was greatly appreciated. To say Martin was a fantastic host would be a large understatement. From the time we opened the gate to enter the villa we were extremely happy as the facilities were exactly as listed on the web page if not better. The heated pool was fantastic and we were in it at all times through the day and night. The gardeners kept the grounds spotless, coming almost everyday to make sure it was clean before everyone even got up. The bedrooms are all a good size and we asked to have all the beds set up as kings and they were. The grounds are nicely treed so you can have sun or shade anytime of the day. With 6 bathrooms there wasn't any problem getting ready on the wedding day and there was enough hot water for everyone. We had the cleaning staff come every second day and they kept the interior spotless for us. We were fortunate to have Mercedes (the chef) cook breakfast and dinner for us and it was worth every cent, the meals were fantastic and there was no shortage of food, even leftovers we used for lunch. The meals were different everyday and Mercedes cleaned up after, she became like a member of the family and we wanted to take her home. I'm running out of space so I will close by saying if you are thinking of staying here you are not making a mistake as it is a great villa and the people go above and beyond to make sure you have a great stay and we all highly recommend this property, you won't be disappointed.

Annual Family Vacation

We are a growing multigenerational family that takes an annual vacation. There were 11 of us, 5 children, 8 months, 3,5,7,9 and parents and grandparents. Martins villa was perfect for us. I will say that we enjoyed the pool immensely, it was wonderful, with the shallow area for the small children, it really worked out well. Martin was so nice as I asked him a hundred questions and opinions. Several of us rented the fishing boat that Martin suggested and caught Mahi which we thoroughly enjoyed eating. We also hired the chef for 3 nights and the food was amazing, totally worth it and would do it more nights next time. We rented a catamaran out of Puerta Adventuras and had a wonderful few hours snorkeling and seeing the turtles and sting rays. We went to Xcaret one day , pay attention to the reviews, go to the river in the afternoon, the morning is so crowded, it almost seems like if you don't know what you are doing, which we didn't , they corral you into the area for the river first. Wait for the crowds to diminish and go to the river later in the day. We swam with the dolphins, and we all loved that. The beach area was nice and a place to headquarter as some went on their own adventures.Be careful of the ticket prices, they are all over the place in cost. We bought the majority of our groceries at the Wal Mart in Playa del Carmen. It was a large nice store and had everything we were looking for. We shopped the first day at the store closest to the villa and it was really crowded and we thought that the selection was poor. We went to the Wal Mart in Playa the next day.We did the tequila tasting that Martin recommended and that was a good time as well. We rented a van and were happy we did, we had considered using taxis but with all of us the van worked out perfect. To close, Martin was a great host we had a wonderful time , his villa was perfect.

Beautiful and Accomodating Vacation

Martin's property was beautiful and easily housed our three families. Veronica and Mercedes, the cooks, were amazing. The general home atmosphere was incredibly comfortable and the food was delicious! We didn't get sick of eating the same cuisine three meals a day every day because it was just that good. I highly recommend getting the all-inclusive package, because it truly made our stay that much better. The pool area and rooftop hammocks were great for relaxation, and the beaches behind the house are stunning. Overall, our family and friends had a wonderful time and highly recommend this property and experience for anyone interested!

Tropical oasis, perfect for families with children

Our group of families had a wonderful time at this absolutely beautiful place. The gardens were luscious and great for staying cool. The pool was a huge hit with the kids, and perfect for days when the beach was too windy and waves too big. The add-on chef services were totally worth it! The food prepared by Mercedes was delicious and very accommodating for our mostly vegetarian group. The owner Martin was very prompt, responsive, and helpful. We definitely recommend getting a rental car, as there are many places to explore in the Maya Riviera but all are a bit of a drive from the villa's location. Still, even with a bit more driving than we would have liked, it was totally worth it to come home to this paradise!

Martin’s villa is an effortlessly divine vacation home.

Take your pick: Lush, private garden areas sans swimming pool or quiet indoor comfort. Allow your mind to drift. Or laugh, chat, and make plans for an excursion-- walk the beach, kayak, go into town, explore cenotes. Content and happy being together or being alone. Perfect location, less than 30 minutes to the airport, yet secluded within this popular, beautiful tourist destination.
