2 Weeks in Casa de las Tortugas Dave Mc Vancouver, BC, Canada. Date Submitted: March 16, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009 When we're on vacation we want things to flow smoothly, and they did here at Casa de las Tortugas. From initial contact through our two weeks on Cozumel, we felt looked after if we wanted assistance. Very professional and well-organized. Entry to the property was foolproof, important after an excruciatingly long day of travel (watch the timing on bus and ferry schedules if you're flying into Cancun!). The property managers supply a preprogrammed cell phone which makes asking for advice or assistance effortless, and someone was always there to take our calls. The property itself is even better than it looks on the website (and it looks pretty good there!). Over-delivers, with a great layout, nice decor, clean, clean, clean, and a beautiful pool in the back. Lots of filtered drinking water supplied, and ample water for showers, etc. Maid, poolguys and gardeners were efficient and professional. If you want to be in the neighborhoods where locals live and play and eat, this is your place. Downtown San Miguel and the waterfront is an easy walk away, but we found ourselves wandering the calles and avenidas and eating in all the little joints and taco stands we could find, day and night! Once you've eaten your fill, taxis to the beaches are cheap, so we spent a few afternoons at several beaches down south, drinking cervezas. As well we did one day with a rental car to tour around the island. Lots of spots for groceries, with the local market just steps away. Big grocery store ("Mega") was very good for our initial shop, as it has everything you'd ever want, including decent meat and baked goods. We cooked a fair amount, and the kitchen in the house had everything we needed. Hope this review helps someone to make a decision. We travel a lot, and this trip to Cozumel and staying at Tortugas ranks right up there with other great vacations. Thanks Laurie, Jim and Leslie, and we hope to see you again. Adios.

Cozy in Cozumel Fivecents Suwanee, GA. Date Submitted: July 28, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008 This makes our 12th trip to Cozumel staying in rental homes and this one takes first place. Typical in Mexico the beds are not the best quality but here in Casa de las Tortugas the beds are very comfotable with upgraded linens including extra large plush towels. This newly built home was extremely clean, has beautifully chosen tile and paint and was obviously decorated by a professional. Our next trip back in February will be at Casa de las Totrugas. My favorite restaurant of all time is right around the corner - fresh fish at San Carlos.
