  I can't say enough good things about Casa Roca Caribe and Jimbo and Karen (the owners). They are across the street so if you need ANYTHING they are available to help you out. This year we were a group consisting of 3 couples and 1 surprise friend that stayed for a few days. The house has 2 bedrooms downstairs and 2 bedrooms upstairs that are quite spacious. There is 1 bath down and 2 baths upstairs as well as a pool on the lower level and a jacuzzi on the upper level. The view is amazing, the location is quiet, and the breeze is heavenly. You'll never want to leave!! This is the perfect 'home away from home' and I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to stay on la Isla, even if it's your first time there!

  Watching the sunrise, cloud, boats, or just "being" in the pool on the deck is amazing. It is quiet and you have all the privacy in the world but are only a short walking distance to amazing restaurants. The bed is great especially considering most beds in Mexico are especially hard. We did not need the AC although it was available. TV but who the heck turns that on in Mexico! You can see all that crap when you get home. Jimbo can fix you up with a golf cart or snorkeling tour or whatever will make your vacation perfect! We WILL stay there again!

  In July 2011, we stayed at a little casa in Colonia La Gloria. We enjoyed it there, but one afternoon, having strolled down to Casa Roca Caribe to check out the accommodations for a future trip, we were completely WOWed by what we found there, and actually sorry that we hadn't chosen it for our inaugural Isla trip. We went home and immediately booked, and have now just returned from two glorious weeks (June 2012) at Jimbo & Karen's place. We could not have been more pleased with the house, which has absolutely all of the comforts of home. But unlike home, the view - oh! the view! - We rented the lower pool level and can't even begin to describe how wonderful it was to gaze out at the Caribbean countless times each day, and to just listen to the waves rush in. It was heavenly! The house is clean and spacious, beds are very comfy, bathroom is large and unlike a lot of Mexican rentals, water pressure in the shower was perfect. It was also nice to have a washer and dryer on premises. The pool was sparkling and refreshing, and Jimbo made sure that it was tended perfectly. He also routinely checked to make sure that we had fresh beach and bath towels, which was really nice. Lidia, the maid, did a beautiful job cleaning after our first week (please do tip her!), and we appreciated Jimbo arranging for her to come in. It's swelteringly hot on Isla during the summer months, but even though the house has A/C, we rarely needed to use it as the cross-breeze coming off the ocean cools the house nicely. The location itself is ideal, tucked away down a short residential street so that you're not in the thick of things, but still very much a part of a real Mexican neighborhood. We went to the beach most days, and found it very easy to catch taxis by walking a short way down the hill. Also really enjoyed having a convenience store a short stroll away. Back at the house, we loved the rooster crowing next door and the sights and sounds of people going about their daily lives up and down the lane. Mango Cafe, just about a 30-second stroll away, is one of the BEST restaurants on Isla, and we ate there several times. Also enjoyed Monchi's, which is about a 35-second walk away! Jimbo and Karen have truly thought of everything, but moreso, they are the consummate hosts and truly made us feel that their home was OUR home. They were attentive and responsive without being intrusive - I believe this is a fine art that they have mastered! We could not have asked for a more enjoyable tw

  As part of a group of three families on vacation with our kids, we stayed at Casa Roca Caribe for a week and MAN-oh-MAN what a great week we had! Jimbo is there to help you with ANYTHING - and listed to his recommendations! We tried almost every eatery he suggested and we LOVED them, and a few we went back to two times!! The house is very clean and the kids really liked the pool on the lower level - at night the adults enjoyed soaking in the hot tub upstairs after the kiddos were tucked in. There is everything there that you need and you can't beat having free wifi and phone to use! You're just far enough out of town so you can enjoy the local life that the island has to offer, yet a cab ride to Centro is only a few minutes and a few pesos. I absolutely recommend asking Jimbo to hook you up with Lorenzo for the day and take your group out on a snorkeling advanture that you'll never forget - he was the highlight of the trip for the kids AND the adults!! If you keep an open mind and a laid back attitude you'll find your stay at Casa Roca Caribe to be the best vacation you'll have ever experienced! True story!!! :o)

  There is NOTHING like sleeping with the breezes coming in from the ocean, and the sound of the waves crashing in on the rocks all night!   We just loved Casa Roca from the moment we walked in the door!   Also enjoyed the crowing of the rooster that lives next door.  Wonderful house. Spectacular views of the ocean. The pool and hammock on the first floor deck are great, the hot tub jaqcuzzi on the second level deck is great; both with the wind and the view and the sound of the crashing surf.  The area is populated with locals and is very calming and relaxing. You really get a "local" feel for this wonderful island, one that is different than the other areas; one we think is not to be missed.  And being that close to the ocean on the more natural and rugged eastern side of the island is a must in our opinion.  Also, it's a one minute walk to the mango Cafe, our absolute favorite place to eat all 3 meals on the island! We took Jimbo's tour in his pickup truck right when we arrived and it was the smartest thing we did; gave us a great feel for the entire island and where we wanted to go.   It's in a perfect location on the island, sort of right in he middle.  So you can get away from the throngs of people and the noise of the more touristy end of the island, but close enough to easily visit all parts of the island with a golf cart or by cab.  The golf cart we rented for the week is perfect and strongly recommended.   My wife and I also had massages by a woman who comes to the house.  What a way to get a massage, on the deck in the warmth from the sun and with those lovely breezes off the ocean and the relaxing surf sounds.  We highly recommend this. We visited some fancy hotels near the big beaches with their sterile, modern rooms that felt like you were in Las Vegas or New York -- not our cup of tea. Cafe Roca Caribe is all it's advertised to be and more! Tom and Nora in Minneapolis, MN

  We had a wonderful time at the Casa Roca Caribe. Jimbo and Karen described their place perfectly and they were super easy to work with. They even helped me get a few necessary baby items from a local rental company that worked flawlessly. We did rent a golf cart the entire time we were there as the walk to Playa Norte was a little far lugging all baby things needed. Overall we had a wonderful stay and will be back to the island as soon as we can.

  What a great place to kick back and enjoy the charm of Isla Mujeres. Casa Roca Caribe is located right on the ocean with breath taking views of the ocean crashing against the incredible rock formations. The private beach is great for hunting shells as long as you like a little adventure in climbing the rocks which we loved. Your host Jimbo is delightful and makes sure you have everything you need. He gives a great tour of the island and helps you make the most of your vacation time. Thanks to Jimbo we felt safe and cared for during our stay. Leo, Jimbo's dog captured our hearts and gave us our doggie fix for the 10 days we were there. It was so hard to leave. The island and Casa Roca Caribe is such a special place, we can't say enough great things about it. The villa has all the comforts of home with a Mexican ambience that gives you just the right vibe for vacation. This place is truly a value and we can't wait to come back home to Casa Roca Caribe next year.

  Five days at Casa Roca Caribe made us only want more--more of the spectacular ocean beneath our deck, the private solar-heated pool, the accessible neighborhood eateries (a variety and all excellent), daily life, and central location to Punta Sur as well as Playa Norte and the centro. And certainly more of Jimbo's hospitality and helpfulness, which made the difference in this trip. The excellent Mango Cafe is around the corner, and even the excellent Zama Beach club and the Turtle Farm are short cab rides away. The listing and photos and Jim's attentive emails all were accurate; if anything the photos don't do the property full credit. We stayed downstairs, another couple were upstairs so the house can function as two comfortable rentals. Great master bedroom with ocean view--sunrises are particularly recommended! Watch the stars come out nightly on the private deck and sleep fitfully in the excellent master bedroom bed to the ocean's roar. We liked this because we could partake easily of the hustle and bustle of the Playa Norte culture while feeling like we were living in the rhythm of Islas people locally. Thank you Jimbo.
