  We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Sisal a couple of weeks ago. The house is absolutely stunning and very comfortable with all you could want. Only wish we had stayed longer than 3 nights..!

  Sometimes pictures make things look better than they are in reality (working myself in marketing, have seen this dozens of times). But even the pictures of Casa Sisal are extremely beautiful they don't compare with the reality of being there, nothing but silence, "private" garden larger than a football field just for you and the home made Yucatecan food from the lovely ladies of the Hacienda Sac Chich staff. I still wonder why people would prefer a five star hotel to a private residence? Probably because they haven't experience this. Great for a romantic scape or to enjoy your family by the pool. Can't wait to go back again to Casa Sisal.

  Cyndy, we are back in Minnesota from our wonderful stay at your property. You and your husband have really created a special place there. I see what you mean, once you arrive you really never want to leave. Being in Real Estate I have the luxury of seeing some amazing properties, but yours is one of a kind. I can tell you we stayed at a fairly high end resort in Playa del carmen costing twice as much a day and the finishes in your place surpassed the hotel by far.

  My wife and I flew into Cancun from Milwaukee. After meeting our son, his wife, and their thirteen month old son at the airport (they flew in from New York City), we rented a car. The three hour drive via the toll road was pleasant and there was only light traffic. We stopped at a toll road service area for cappuccino and a rest room break. The coffee shop was called "Italian Coffee" and was similar to Starbucks. Casa Sisal is stunning! The pictures and owner's description are very detailed and accurate. Having said that, it was even nicer in person than we expected. We swam in the pool every day and enjoyed the two acre yard for Frisbee, etc. The staff was very helpful. We arrived to chips and homemade salsa as well as freshly baked banana bread. The house is large and well equipped. Everything that we needed was there for us. They even provided a "porta-play" type crib for the baby. The house served as a unique place to hang out as well as a base for nearby sights and activities. Within a 30 to 60 minute drive there are many Mayan ruins, cenotes, haciendas, convents and historic towns. We went to Merida (we liked Paseo Montejo which is a beautiful boulevard with old mansions); Cuzama Cenote (sadly we only had time to see and swim in one of the three cenotes there); the seaside town of Progreso (disappointing compared to Playa Del Carmen or Tulum); the nearby Hacienda Teya (we had a very nice lunch). We were only able to stay 3 nights at Casa Sisal and wish we could have stayed longer.

  Casa Sisal is a wonderful place to spend a week of your life. For my wife and me, it was as if we had been transported into an exotic world, clearly connected to today but also steeped in the history by which the Hacienda Sac Chich found its way to this time and place. It is more luxurious than any hotel suite at ten times the price, and comes with a well-stocked kitchen and staff. Nonetheless, if you are the all-inclusive hotel type, this place is probably not for you. The accommodations at both the Casa Principal and at Casa Sisal express a quiet tastefulness that combines a sense of high luxury without making the error of overstatement. Attention was paid to combining the modern comforts we all seek with a feel for the past. While the Casa Principal consists of restored historic structures in a most pleasant way, Casa Sisal, newly constructed, rose out of the grounds and ruins combining ancient Mayan building techniques with almost a Frank Lloyd Wright sense of style… We liked the results so much that we took our hosts up on an offer to obtain a copy of the book dedicated to its construction. Speaking of our hosts, if you are so lucky as to run into Cindy and Howie during your stay, you will encounter hosts that made us feel like longtime friends.

  My husband and I spent a wonderful 9 nights at Casa Sisal earlier this month. We are design and architecture enthusiasts, and the house exceeded our expectations with the attention to detail and thoughtful touches. It was a delight to wake up each morning in such a beautiful setting. Late afternoons were often spent enjoying the pool and seeing the sky darken over the beautiful grounds. Our day trips included visits to Merida (including a Wednesday morning house and garden tour), Chichen Itza, Mayapan, Uxmal, a local cenote, Hacienda Temozon for a lovely brunch, Hacienda Yaxcopoil, Hacienda Ochil for an early dinner, Hacienda Xcanatun for an amazing dinner at Casa de Piedra, the charming Izamal where we enjoyed a carriage ride, and Vallodolid, among others. Bartola and her sister Soco were very helpful and unintrusive. Cyndy and Howard’s notes and suggestions were great in planning our trip and daily outings.
