Our stay at Maria's condo at Costa Blanca was simply wonderful. The condo was just as pictured and even better. It was very clean and well decorated with very nice furnishings. What a wonderful view of the ocean and sunrise every morning! We used the hammock often. Loved the pool and it was great to be right in the middle on the ground floor. The condo was set up with everything we needed, from dishes to a blender, toaster, coffee maker, bedding, towels, beach towels, and so much more. The washer and dryer were an extra added bonus! Maria was available if we needed her, but we never needed a thing! We felt very safe and comfortable. Thank you to Ernesto who helped us figure out the cable TV and was there every day for any questions we had. The walk on the beach to the town of Puerto Morelos is about 20-25 minutes and very enjoyable. It’s a lovely little town with very friendly people. We ate at some great restaurants, make sure you try the Uruguayan restaurant and get the steak, it was very good. Thanks Maria we had a wonderful stay at your beautiful condo!!!

Many thanks to Maria for your kindness and caring. Also a special thanks to Ernesto and Pilar. We were very well cared for. Puerto Morelos is very safe and friendly, and our condo was everything we wished for and more. It's quite spacious and unpretentious, lovely shining white tile floors and a large marble patio that does not absorb the heat from the sun. We ate and cooked at home most of the time enjoyng our Margueritas, homemade guacomole, salsa and fresh fish. The beds are comfortable and everything was clean. I would recommend this lovely condo to anyone. We walked into town every day and met friendly Mexicans and Ex-Pats who live there. The reef is world class for snorkelling. Thanks you so much for a holiday we will not forget.

My husband and I just returned from Elena's lovely condo at Costa Blanca. We were very comfortable...the condo was very clean and offered us everything we needed. The terrace doors open up to a very large patio with the infinity pool and Caribbean right in front of us. We met lots of lovely people that were staying at the condo too, but it was still very serene and relaxing. The town of Puerto Morelos is a 20 minute walk either along the beach or thru the residential neighborhood which is very safe. This is the 2nd time we came back to this town and we just love it! Every restaurant is terrific and it is very laid back. We also listened to several music venues after dinner each nite that were terrific.

We had a wonderful vacation at Costa Blanca and fell in love with Puerto Morelos! The property was clean, very well appointed and even better than described. The kitchen was nicely furnished, and we cooked about half our meals there. There was no dishwasher, but we didn't mind doing dishes by hand. We did have a washer/dryer. You can step from the living area or master bedroom through the sliders to the infinity pool and then just a few steps down to the gorgeous beach. It was quiet and very relaxing. Most of our neighbors in this 9-unit condo were Americans or Canadians, and not all units were occupied while we were there. Only 25 minutes from Cancun, and you can catch a cab, rent a car if you wish to do some sightseeing, or make a reservation with a pickup/delivery shuttle service. We walked into town -- about a mile and a half -- along the beach twice, bought groceries and then took a taxi back to the condo. The larger grocery stores are in Cancun and Playa del Carmen. The fruit and vegetable market is across the highway in the colonia of Puerto Morelos. You can rent a car in Puerto Morelos if you decide to do some sightseeing later. We drove to Akumal for lunch and also visited the ruins at Tulum and Coba on two different days. We had wonderful food at most of the restaurants around the square (zocalo) in Puerto Morelos and bought fresh fish at the Fisherman's Cooperative and cooked it at the condo on the barbeque grill. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. It does help if you speak some Spanish, but that is not absolutely necessary. We were very pleased with this property and have already recommended it to family members and other friends. We plan on returning again as soon as possible! The only suggestions I have are for a few extra kitchen dish towels and bicycles with baskets that could be used by the condo occupants without cars to take to town. Thanks Maria and Elena for a wonderful time, Nancy M.

What a wonderful week we had in Puerto Morelos. The condo is clean, modern and just great and located right on the beach. We were by ourselves most of the time. The owners, Elena and Maria, made sure that everything was fine.

On Fri, Feb 26, 2010 at 10:00 PM, Thank you Elena for making our visit special. We have made many visits to the Mayan Riviera and know what we like. We were looking for a small and private condo (only 9 units) right on the beach and yours fit our needs. We loved the incredible view and sound of the surf from the living area and the master bedroom. We were able to open our slider and walk out to the beach or lounge at the pool. Your condo is immaculate, yet warm and comfortable. We truly had a great time. Barb S , Colorado Springs.

We were delighted with the condo. Weather cooperated and we used the pool, snorkeled and walked into town for great food. Elena is welcoming and the condo was to our liking since it was clean, convenient, & well equipped. Wireless internet connection was frosting on the cake. Cab is 50 pesos from town if you don't walk back on the beach. Enough groceries available at the market for lovely breakfasts. Fresh fish available if you want to cook. Farmer's market on Wed.
