Location: Tankah, Quintana Roo, Yucatan, Mayan Riviera, Mexico (1.5 hours Cancun Airport; near Tulum Ruins & Xel-Ha)
Accommodations: Rustic Cabana, Studio, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2)
Kasa Katalina is located 10 kilometers north of the Tulum Ruins and 8 kilometers south of Xel-Ha Water Park. It is located on Tankah Bay with 80 feet of private beach with miles and miles of pristine beaches to explore. You can see the waves crashing on the reef off shore.
Kasa Katalina is for the adventurous... the adventurous who want to make a minimum impact on a fragile environment... the adventurous who are willing to give up television, telephones, running water and tourist shops... the adventurous who want to experience swimming or snorkeling in the warm turquoise waters of the Caribbean or candlelight dinners on the large covered patio... the adventurous who want to experience the moonlight reflecting on the white sand. It's the perfect place to spend a month or two in one of the few budget accommodations on the beach. Write that book or memoir you have been putting off....or just refresh your soul.
Kasa Katalina has a flush toilet and bathing area inside. Water may be brought from the well a few steps away from the house and either warmed in the sun or heated on the hotplate. Bottled water may be purchased in town or a truck comes by a few times a week. There now is electricity and a refrigerator. There is a large crystal clear cenote within walking distance and a second story deck accessed from outside to string up a locally purchased hammock, watch sunrises or pelicans diving offshore.
Kasa Katalina is a totally enclosed secured building. It sleeps two in a handmade full-size bed in the large living/sleeping room. There is a large separate kitchen with a few electric appliances and it is well stocked with dishes,cooking utensils.
Guests must bring bed linens and towels.
Spend your afternoons in the shade of the oversized patio, swinging in a hammock, or walking along miles of white sand beaches. Better yet, prop yourself up with Michener's CARIBBEAN in the handcrafted bed, made by a local Mayan using only a machete, an ax and a hammer.
Much of the native plants have been kept on the grounds providing a haven to colorful orioles, a variety of butterflies and iguanas.
Two large hotels, a dive shop, and the restaurant "Casa Cenote" are within walking distance providing the opportunity to purchase meals and drinks, use telephones, call taxis or rent cars if guests need a break from paradise.
