  • The Casa Sofia is well-appointed, consummately situated, and full of discreet charm and creature comforts. The unthinkable proximity of the private beach - one of Mexico's cleanest and loveliest - renders the spot alone one in a million. But on top of this, the villa (for, it is no simple house) features capacious, airy spaces, seemingly infinite terraces and views, and cozy living areas. The living room and kitchen's high ceilings - opening with large windows onto the private pool area - are truly pleasurable. To top it all off, there is the (seemingly too-good-to-be-true) rasp of the waves as a built-in soundtrack. This house, and the pleasure of the lagoon and sea that frame it, should not be missed!

  • This place is HEAVEN ON EARTH. Whether having cocktails on the roof deck at sunset, taking a nap in the outdoor hammock (rocked by the ocean breeze), lounging by the pool or simply reading in one of the tastefully done, simply chic rooms - you will be in paradise. Activities include a float trip down the river (with a stop-off at a mayan ruin), bone fishing, playing in the ocean waves, or snorkeling/diving by one of the many cenotes. There are also many funy restaurants near by and plenty of cultural activities. Go. You won't regret it.

  • Casa Sophia is perfect! After our first stay there we were almost too scared to go back and spoil an ideal memory-- but we took the chance and love it even more! It is has the holy trinity of relaxation, good food, and interesting local activities. The house: plenty of room for three families (including four energetic kids!). There are wonderful spots for privacy (the various terraces, the carefully placed bedrooms) as well as natural gathering points (the living/dining area, the courtyard formed by the house and the pool). Furnishings are simple, practical and tasteful. Mexican modern. We never had any need for air - conditioning because the house is sited & ventilated to take advantage of the ocean breezes. The area: It really is paradise on earth. The ocean is a Caribbean cliche: warm, clear, blues/greens topped by a coral sand beach (perfect for kids to build sand castles!) and truly private. In the late afternoon, there might be a few people about 200 yards south in front of the restaurant. The lagoon is just a short walk (100 yards) from the house, through lovely vegetation and offers a great alternative if you ever get bored (yeah, right) of the ocean/pool. The first time we were there, we did the Mayan ruins tour. Second time, the great lagoon tour offered by the management. The management: Totally unobtrusive but responsive. The house was cleaned each day, taking into account our schedule (e.g. napping kids). The restaurant at the "main" part of the hotel is delicious-- going out to eat without having to get into the car. In short: watch the sunrise over the ocean, swim, eat, nap, watch the sunset over the lagoon, repeat. And never leave. The second time we went, we rented a car from Cancun to get here and then didn't use the car until we had to go back to the airport! It really is an eco- house-- off the grid solar & wind power and then it convinces you to give up your car! This is the place for a vacation.
