This luxurious beachfront condo is located in Palma Real, the most prestigious boutique condominium in Puerto Morelos. Puerto Morelos is a small peaceful town on Mexico's Caribbean coast, the Riviera Maya. Other than offering some of the most spectacular beaches in the world, the Riviera Maya is home to the great Mayan reef, the second largest reef in the world, only one half of a mile off-shore, making it a Mecca for diving enthusiasts. Located between the charming town of Playa del Carmen and the much more upbeat city of Cancun, Puerto Morelos is a breath of fresh air for those looking to get away to a peaceful haven. In addition to complete relaxation in Puerto Morelos, the surrounding region offers incredible archaeological sites, various eco parks, championship golf and world class shopping.
Wake up to the sound of the waves caressing the shores and to gorgeous floor-to-ceiling ocean views, in both bedrooms, of the turquoise Caribbean Sea and its white sandy beaches. Another stunning feature of this property is the master bathroom shower and its window overlooking the ocean.
You may choose to lounge on the private second floor balcony in a gigantic hammock, sunbath next to the ocenafront Infinity Pool & Hot Tub, or sleep under the palapas on the beach.
This fully equipped condo offers amenities such as Wireless Internet (Wi-Fi), Satellite TV, and an array of personal services available on call. In addition, the property has an elevator, making it completely accessible for handicapped and seniors visitors.
Other than being the ultimate getaway, Palma Real is a short 10 minute walk from the charming center of Puerto Morelos where you can enjoy the fine local cuisine, shop, and mingle with the permanent expat crowd who has chosen Puerto Morelos as their Caribbean home. Cancun is 30 minutes north, and Playa del Carmen and the Ferry to Cozumel is 30 minutes south.

Stayed from October 15-21, 2009 This was our second visit to Palma Real. We were here in July 2009 and fell in love with the condo and the town. It is very relaxing here; few tourists and not many solicitors; perfect location to relax and enjoy the beach and ocean, yet only 20 minutes to Cancun or Playa del Carmen to enjoy the shops. It is very easy to get around without a car; many bus shuttle options and taxis everywhere. It is a good idea to let Carlos shop for snacks and groceries, etc. He will get the best prices and it is well worth his small fee. Carlos can get you the best deals on excursions, snorkeling, etc., too. Captain Hook Pirate Tour and Dinner Cruise from Cancun Mexico is highly recommended. The pool and the beach were always clean. We plan to come back again in March or April 2010 if the condo has availability. NOTE: These comments were copied directly from the guest book in the condo, in which the renters leave their comments.

Our stay at Puerto Morelos has been wonderful. The views from the condo are spectacular. Waking up to the sunrise over the ocean was unbeatable! We spent much time lounging by the pool. We also love the decor - beautiful metal artwork. The restaurants were delicious and varied; we especially loved David Lau´s for dinner; Valarie the waitress was a spirited delight. Carlos has been helpful and gracious; it was a treat to share time with his wife and son. Jose Luis keeps everything in top shape; every morning he combs and cleans the beach of sea grass, and always has a smile. We are sorry to leave; We will be back.

This condo is amazing; everything we expected and more. We loved the town of Puerto Morelos; natural Mexico with wonderful people. The snorkeling was FUN and beautiful. Be careful on ATV's - easy to fall off. Much to do here and much more to explore. We enjoyed staying around town and watching the children play and the families. Security at Palma Real is TOP NOTCH. Roberto looked out for us while out at night. The pool was always clean. Carlos does is doing an excellent job maintaining and keeping the condo clean. Use repellent at night. The mosquitos love Americans. This has been the best vacation thus far. We would love to come back twice per year, and would like to stay 8 days next time. We will surely be back soon!

Our honeymoon here has been more than we could have dreamed of. This place is amazing! We loved the view and hearing the sound of the waves from our bedroom. We spent a lot of time in the pool - which we almost always had to ourselves. We would generally walk into to town for dinner, which was great every time. Everyone was so friendly to us. We especially loved Valery from David Lau´s Restaurant. One of the days we went to Playa del Carmen and shopped and ate dinner. That was very fun. We also went snorkeling with Charly Brown in Puerto Morelos one day, which was also lots of fun. Carlos at Palma Real was so nice and helpful, and we enjoyed getting to know him. We had an amazing time and hope to be able to come back someday! NOTE: These comments were copied directly from the guest book in the condo, in which the renters leave their comments.

As we sit here in Pelicanos Restaurant waiting for our breakfast to arrive, we reflect on our week here in Puerto Morelos. The condo is well appointed, and has most things needed to self-cater, although we usually only had breakfast there. For dinner, we would try one of the many good restaurants in town. Valery at David Lau´s treats everyone like family, and the pizza and wonton soup are exceptional. Pelicanos and La Casa del Pescador are also worth mentioning. It is a shame that the hype of the H1N1 flu virus has scared off many tourists. You can see that the tour operators are struggling, as are restaurant owners. Nevertheless, the town and its people are friendly & helpful. The staff at the Palma Real are great. Kudos to Roberto, the night security guard, who appreciated the time we took to let him practice his English, and likewise, we appreciated him helping us with our limited Spanish. Jose Luis kept the grounds and pool in top shape and was always with a smile. And Carlos was a great resource, always available if we needed anything; he has a network of trusted contacts which he was happy to share. All in all, a great first experience in Puerto Morelos.

We booked this condo last November as a college graduation present for our kids. We couldn't wait to arrive, but just before our trip, the media hype hit with the Swine Flu epidemic. Thankfully, we worked with David and his condo agent Carlos, and went anyway. Best thing we ever did! No internet picture could ever capture the essence of this condo. Everything was well thought out and furnished. The views from anywhere in the condo, were unreal. The master bedroom and bathroom were spectacular. We have stayed in quite a few beachfront condos in the Gulf, but this one would be, if not number one, then in the top 3 without any doubt. In addition, the complex itself is well thought out. The infinity pool is incredible, as is the sun deck. The beach is not very wide, but is the softest light-tan sand you will ever find. It was not hot to the touch, even in 85 - 90 degree temperatures. There were at least six condos occupied while we were there, but there were never any problems with noise. Any condo complex is only as good as the support staff in charge. Palma Real's staff is first rate. Carlos picked us up at the airport, gave us a tour of Puerto Morelos, and made sure we were COMPLETELY settled in, before he left. He was always there for us, set us up with the tours that we wanted to take, hooked us up with some great resteraunts, and made sure that we were always happy. One day he saw us in town as we were picking up a few things at the little grocery store and drove us home. He's just that kind of guy. Jaun Luis has an eye for detail. He was always there at the crack of dawn, cleaning the pool and making sure everything, including the beach, was pristine. Roberto kept an eye out for us at night and we always felt safe in the complex. On top of that, he takes great pictures! Puerto Morelos is in my estimation, about the finest beach town anyone could ask for. No glitz, no glamor, just real Mexico on the beach. Easy to get around (we always walked - 10 - 15 min. from the condo), friendly, and wanting to make your trip great. Abraham Gomez is our new amigo. From the moment we met him in the grocery as he helped us translate, he exemplified the people of the town. We started calling him the Ambassador of Puerto Morelos. He has a shop on the North end of the square where he paints with his fingers. Fantastico! This is one condo that you don't want to miss, a town that is worth visiting, we can't wait to go back!

We had a wonderful time!! We had an absolutely perfect time in Puerto Morelos. This exquisite little fishing village offers a large number of restaurants and countless activities for everyone! Carlos is a wonderful host and makes you feel as though you are a guest in his own home. We highly recommend taking advantage of the other services he offers (airport pick up/drop off and picking up some groceries before you arrive – ask him for recommendations, he found us a great cheese for home-made quesadillas!). We always worry about safety/cleanliness when traveling with a toddler but this condo gets five stars on all accounts! The condo was spotless and the complex offers 24 hour security. Carlos had even gone through and “baby proofed” the place so we didn’t have to worry about it when we arrived. The pool also has a shallow end that you can lie around in or let your little one run around on if you bring no slip water shoes. Recommendations for your visit: - Gaucho’s Restaurant - David Lau’s (ask for Valerie) - Mama’s Bakery - Rosy’s Juice Bar - Visit the Cenotes/Zip Lines (they are VERY close) - Snorkelling/Diving - Renting bikes (no need for cars and the condo has a place to lock the bikes up) - Yoga at the Cultural Centre - Visit the Fruit and Veggie stand on Wednesday mornings by the church (or the ones across the highway, apparently you can get a litre of fresh squeezed orange juice for $2!) - Visit the stores next to the ice cream shop – we took a picture of the area and had it hand painted for us. The store across also has beautiful iron works. All the best, enjoy your visit! NOTE: These comments were copied directly from the guest book in the condo, in which the renters leave their comments.

WOW - to think that the media hype almost kept us from coming to Mexico - but after working with David & Carlos, here we are - Thanks guys!!! We have stayed in quite a few condos, but this is one of the very best. The pictures do not do it justice! Everything was well laid out and confortable. The hammock and the master bedroom/shower were the best. Details, details, details. Even the Pool/Jaccuzzi, beach chairs, and sun deck were well thought out! Carlos took care of all of our needs and had great suggestions for restaurats and things to do. Jose Luis kept the area beautiful and clean, and Roberto not only made sure the lace was secure, but took great pictures too! Puerto Morelos is one fantastic little town. EVERYONE is so friendly. Abraham Gome is great example. He stopped and helped us at the grocery store, and from there we became great amigos. Also Phillipe, Valerie and Charlie Brown (who has a great snorkelng tour). David Lau´s and La Casa del Pescador were our favorites restaurants, but we didnt have a bad meal anywhere. The prices are unbelievably low! Carlos - Thank you so much for all that you did for us. We will miss you. Abraham - thanks to you too - take care of that wonderful little daughter of yours. This is Paradise! It is hard to leave this town. We can wait to come back! PS: A couple of things we forgot to mention, make sure you checkout Abraham's store right next to the ice cream shop; he is a great artist; paints with his finger, great prices and speaks very good English. Also - on our first night, went to David Lau´s restaurant and saw Jerry Van Dyke (the actor). He was born and raised in our small town in Illinois. We had a wonderful conversation over dinner. Small world! Keep your eyes open! NOTE: These comments were copied directly from the guest book in the condo, in which the renters leave their comments.

The time flew at this beautiful seaside retreat. We spent our 1st week in Akumal - also very beautiful. Our time was unfortunate becuase it coincided with the Swine Flu Scare. We never got to see the Botanical Gardens, which remained closed the entire week we were here, but Coba, Tulum & Chichen-Itza were magical. Snorkeling at the reef was stunning, as was our trip to Xel-ha - well worth the $ & entire day. We would have loved to see Jungle Place - Monkey Rescue - but learned of it to late & couldn´t get reservations in time. For animal lovers, a trip to Crococun is a must - very memorable. A trip to Sian Kaán is for anyone who loves true wilderness. Our guide Miguel was excellent! He works at Cesiak, where they also serve excellent food. We disliked going into Cancun for any reason, and much prefered Playa del Carmen for shopping. Carlos can keep you very well informed; we found his recomendations & info right on. Our favorite restaurant was David Lau's, but also enjoyed Pelicanos. The condo´s main issue is hot H2O which was rarely balanced. It would have been nice to have more linens as well - but these are fine points. For animal lovers: please take care of Oso, the brown & black dog who lives next door, as well as the light orange cat. They are gentle & in need of more nourishment. The dog who lives at Crococun is also a treasure - we´d have taken them home if it was possible. They are all very gentle and sweet. Enjoy your trip here. You´ll be well taken care of by all!

It has been a wonderful week! This place is so beautiful, and the proximity to the ocean is amazing. The condo is more than we hoped for. We loved sleeping to the sound of the surf every night. This is a wonderful place to stay if you want to relax away from the crowds. The town of Puerto Morelos is so quaint. We enjoyed shopping and eating there. Everyone in Mexico is friendly and accomodating. We recommend snorkeling with the group that operates off the pier in town. We had the most wonderful experience out on the beautiful reefs. Our kids, ages 10 and 12 were amazed! We also rode horses at Bonita Loma, about 10 mins. south of here; and Crococun, just north of town, was an awesome zoo experience; we got to hold, feed and pet snakes, crocodiles, birds, iguanas, monkeys, deer and more! Of course, the kids were just as happy swimming in the beautiful pool and ocean. This has truly been a memorable vacation. We dont usually return to the same place, but this is one condo that will definitely come back to! Thanks so much to Carlos for all he did for us. He made this whole experience much more special.
