Our 5 week vacation in El Cuyo was wonderful. The house suited all the needs we wanted for a family of five. The beach is very safe and we caught fish just off shore. It is very peaceful and the stars are amazing. El Cuyo is full of friendly people and each evening would wonder to the village quare and watch soccer or dancing. The food stores are basic but we stocked up when we went through Tizimin. We never felt unsafe in El Cuyo. Sara and Gabriel are wonderful caretakers. They helped us with anything we asked and even socialized with them as they were a lot of fun. I have no complaints!

Great place if you want to get away from everything, work, school... Everything you want you can get it, great food, cold beer and a lot of beautiful shells you can take back home as a souvenir. The beach has smooth sand and the color of the sea will take your breathe away. You won´t regret Suggestion: Make a fire by the beach, buy some sea food and some beer or a wine bottle, turn off all the lights of the house and look at the stars, I´ve never seen so many...

Le petit paradis perdu

Notre objectif de voyage était de "décrocher" de la vie quotidienne. Eh bien, l'objectif a été atteint et de loin. Un environnement merveilleux qui fait partie maintenant de nos "Best of". Une maison splendide, qui était au-delà des photos du site. Des hôtes accueillants et généreux de leur temps en Sara et Gabriel. Des plages désertes avec comme panorama le vert-azur de la mer et de son beau sable blanc. Situé à pas de marche du port de pêche, nous avons dégusté ses succulents poissons frais du jour. Les gens du village sont super sympatiques. (une base en espagnole est utile) Quoi demander de plus! Une expérience qu'on est pas prêt d'oublier! En espérant que cet endroit conserve son charme typiquequemment local et que ça ne devienne pas trop touristique.

Perfect place to unplug and unwind

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! The description and photos are even better in person. The house is spacious and comfortable - a perfect place from which to explore the area....or not. Susanne (the owner) and Sara and Gabriel (the caretakers) are responsive and helpful and a pleasure to interact with. Please note - El Cuyo is quite remote, but for us, that was part of the appeal. We thoroughly enjoyed evening walks into town (kicking coconuts and greeting the local dogs along the way) and watching the local soccer matches. Beachcombing, "body surfing", iguana-chasing, star gazing, and visits to Ek Balam and Izamal rounded out the trip and made for a fantastic vacation. We (two adults and two small children - 1 yr. and 5 yrs.) had such a great time - we can't wait to return.

Great House, Great Setting, Perfect Vaca

We loved our experience in the beach house in El Cuyo. We wanted a secluded area and intimacy, blue water and white sand and looked for weeks to find this listing. All our expectations were met plus more, as we did not expect to meet so many great people! The house was perfect for our family, the beach and the water were amazing. The children had so much fun (looking for crabs thanks for the tip!) the managers were very nice and helpful. We will keep very fond memories of our vacation and will go back the next time we need to feel like a family again.

Authentic caribbean atmosphere - far from Cancun´s permanent party

Guest: Fridablue (Mexico)
Date of Stay: 08/09/10 Review Submitted: 12/13/10

Beautiful and very comfortable and quiet accomodation. Ideal to relax and retire. No TV. Authentic atmosphere of a Caribbean fishing village - no luxury around, but amazing nature and delicious, simple sea food meals in very basic but cosy restaurants. Ideal for kids - so many things to discover (crabs, turtles, white sands ...). Interesting tourist attractions can be reached on daily trips (Chichen Itza, Ek Balam, Valladolid, Merida, Holbox...), though -but you need a car as public transport is not very developped.

We had been twice to this place that you must call "paradise"!! Our whole family (two adults and two children) enjoyed everything in our stay at this very special place!! The white sanded beach, the blue and warm sea, the great and very well furnished house, the wonderful terraces with the most fantastic view on the carribean ocean, the fresh fish market, the very friendly neighbours -above all sara and her husband who prepared the house and informed us about everything and helped us with everything we needed!! We had long walks on the beach and found very special shells cause there are not too many persons to collect them before you do so.... The children loved to sleep in the "children´s palapa" and we loved to sleep with the wonderful noise of the waves of the sea... The place is even better than you can see on the photos - thats for sure!! And there are so many things to do as well in the surrounding.... If you want to meet very nice friendly mexican people and not too many tourists you need to go to El Cuyo!! Thats for sure!!

We had wonderful time in El Cuyo. The house was very comfortable and had everything we could wish for. Our three small children had a blast, since the location is very kid-friendly. We especially appreciated being able to use some great tourist guide books that helped in planning our site seeing excursions.

We had a wonderful stay at La Casa en el Aire. El Cuyo was a friendly village and made for a great chance to practice my Spanish. Sara was very friendly and helpful and even loaned us some CDs. The kitchen is by far the best-equipped for cooking that we have ever rented. We cooked every night, taking advantage of the fresh fish available in town and fresh bread from the bakery. We had ceviche every day. This was a great vacation spot--muy tranquilo!

Great place to stay! Ich habe die Zeit in El Cuyo sehr genossen. Das Haus ist einfach toll und gemuetlich. Besonders klasse ist natuerlich die Lage direkt am Traumstrand und die beiden Terassen mit Meerblick. Insgesamt super zum Entspannen und ein absoluter Geheimtipp!

A wonderful peaceful retreat from all the hectic in today's world. Located right at the beach with the blue-green Caribbean sea, possibilities to just relax or to enjoy water-sports and strolls along the beach. The house is well equipped, spacious and comfortable. Pictures are real and not retouched. Seafood available at the small local restaurants or from the fisherman to be cooked over an open fire. Lots of wildlife and the possibility to explore famous Maya sights by car. Go and see for yourself - relax & enjoy paradise.

Weißer Strand, kilometerlang-keine Strasse zwischen Haus und Strand-Schwimmen vor dem Frühstück-mutterseelenallein-Frühstück auf der Terrasse-alles ist da-besonders auch die Sonne. Herrlich entspannend, in der Hängematte liegen und lesen, dann wieder schwimmen oder eine Tour im Auto zu den Maya Ruinen.

Ein kleines Urlaubsjuwel! Perfekt für entspannte Tage abseits ausgetretener Touristenpfade. Den breiten weißen Sandstrand hat man fast für sich alleine. Wunderschönes Haus, stilvoll eingerichtet. Einschlafen mit nichts als Meeresrauschen im Hintergrund.

Ein Traum zum träumen. Vergiß die Welt um Dich herum, lass alles hinter Dir, schalte ab.Baden im warmen Meer, Lagerfeuer unter Sternenhimmel, good vibrations.Ich kann dieses kleine Paradies auf Erden all denen empfehlen, die die Uhr zuhause lassen wollen und die Seele in karibischem Flair baumeln lassen wollen.

El Cuyo es un paraiso inimaginable para quien no ha estado alli. Hemos pasado 2 veranos en este hermoso lugar y ya no queremos visitar otra playa pues aqui no hay turistas, encuentras grandes extensiones de playa virgen, el contacto con la naturaleza es unico. Hemos presenciado el nacimiento de tortugas marinas, vimos delfines pasar frente a la casa, hay flamingos, y la tranquilidad que se respira no se ve en ningun otro lugar. Definitivamente una excelente opcion para niños y adultos.
