All the reviews sum things up pretty well! This is a wonderful place. We had stayed a week at the Presidente resort, and while very nice and great for snorkeling, it was also very expensive. A 2-day flight delay required us to change hotels and we thought we'd go with the one closest to - across the street from - the airport. Very handy. What a bonus that it is such a wonderful little hotel! Very comfortable, great meals, clean rooms, charming atmosphere and very friendly staff. Dan, the owner, is never intrusive but always helpful with advice and practical matters - he even drove us down to get our pre-flight Covid tests! We loved being in town and away from Resortland. The area is very safe and our post-dinner walk back from El Moro (great restaurant) was downright romantic. The legendary Diego's is a block away for an easy lunch and cabs are readily available to go to the center of town, though it is certainly walkable if you enjoy walking. Of course you will want to get to the ocean while you are in Cozumel! Easily arranged, though if you have time it might make sense to spend half your stay at a place on the water and half at Casita de Maya. In any event, it is a wonderful place.…
Must Love Dogs This boutique hotel was the perfect chill out spot. Convenient-we walked to the hotel from the airport . Yes it’s literally a 5 minute walk. When you exit the airport. Look for the Alamo car rental sign (across the street) the hotel is located next to the Alamo. Check in was seamless. If you have knee issues ask for one of the 1st floor rooms. The stairs to the 2nd level are a little steep. Rooms are comfortable. We stayed on the second level which had a lounge deck right off of our room . Great spot for morning coffee, breakfast or cigar smoke. The service was impeccable from Dan and his small staff (Daniel, Eduardo, Joli). If he's available, he'll run you to nearby places in his car. We caught up on our steps by walking to the beach, restaurants and grocery stores. We were also impressed with how friendly the locals are and how we felt safe, even after dark. We went to the waterfront where the ships dock, but didn't like how aggressive the shop owners were to get you into their places of business. We literally ran to escape the relentless requests and got back to the less touristy neighborhoods. There are a few resident dogs that we found to be utterly delightful. Super friendly. There were also a couple of puppies next door at the rental car place that my wife would've smuggled home if she could've. (They, and their mom were adopted by the locals before we left). A great home away from home with Dan, the best host on the island. If you love dogs and like a laid back place to stay, this is your spot. …
Joli, Eduardo, Daniel and Dan are the best hosts on the island. The hotel is great. It has a bed and breafast feel that can't be beaten. Dan has contacts everywhere and can hook you up with rentals, tours, food or whatever you need. I am definitely coming back.
Definitely just like home and family! Probably our 19th time staying at Casita de Maya and just as lovely and wonderful as the first! Rooms, AC and location all great, but what makes the place is the owner Dan and the entire staff! So accommodating, helpful and top notch service! Daniel (the cook) prepares wonderful dishes, even on short notice, Jolie keeps rooms in spotless condition and Eduardo an all around great guy and can help with anything! And lets not forget the 3 dogs, Freddy, Bigotes and Cholat,,,your home away from home pets! All safety protocols followed A wonderful place and would never dream of staying anywhere else! Looking forward to the 11th visit!
Wow, the hospitality showed to our family was incredible. Dan and the team really worked hard to ensure we were well taken care of. Daniels guacamole was the best on the island. The whole team worked hard to ensure our stay was great even in the rain. If your looking for 5 star luxury this is not it. If your looking for a quaint heartfelt, great time with cold beer, clean, safe, and run by fantastic people than this is your spot. Find this hidden gem! We were going to stay at an all inclusive 4 star spot but cancelled our reservations when we saw all poor reviews of the food. We wanted our kids to feel the Cozumel vibe not just stay at a resort. Dan gave us so many great restaurant rec's as well as fantastic beach clubs. We lived like kings eating, drinking and snorkeling our way though the island and had a blast. Big shout out the the team who made our stay special, we look forward to returning. Pro tip: ask Dan to assist with Jeep rental. Also DO NOT CAB from the airport. We walked and I had 5 large bags and my 2 young daughters! We were fine.…
