Imagine sitting in a hot tub on the veranda of your Penthouse, watching the glorious sunset, sipping a chilled drink with gentle ocean breezes caressing your skin. Ahhhh!
Next morning, you wake up early, eager for your first dive trip, or your beach chair with a book down at the pool area. You get your gear, head down the elevator and wait at your private boat dock to be picked up.... or you just settle into your lounge chair with a good book and snooze away the day............
Later that afternoon, you put on your swim suit, grab a beach towel and book and head for a shady lounge chair under a Palapa by the beach for your siesta.... you can do this several times a day! No one is looking............
Does this sound like the vacation for you? Does having a dive experience where you feel like you're flying across the reef thrill you (Drift Diving)? Or perhaps you want to travel with a large group, and not feel like you're on top of each other? Desire a family reunion where you are all comfortable?
If so, come stay at Casa de la Luna Llena (House of the Full Moon- and you should make a point to watch the sunset and moon rise from the balconies), a spacious, diver/family-friendly Penthouse where you will find the finest drift diving in the world! It doesn't get any better than this!
Casa de la Luna Llena is the Penthouse (8th floor) in the brand new gorgeous El Cantil Condominiums, located next door to the former Plaza Las Glorias. Your views are breath-taking--facing the south as well as to the west and across the island also!
You are 3 blocks from downtown San Miguel (Cozumel), a 5 minute-walk to the shops along the ocean, or a 2-minute taxi ride to Centro, and yet you are far enough away from the tourist bustle to enjoy the crystal-clear waters and quiet.
El Cantil was built by Al Dannerman, long-time resident and owner of Primas the top-rated Italian restaurant on Cozumel and the new 5 star WYNSTON, located on the top floor of El Cantil next door to the Penthouse . Unprecedented luxury in a building built to the highest quality standards. To quote one of our recent tenants, "The Casa exceeded our expectations which rarely ever happens."
Your private, secure elevator opens directly into the Casa. To your right is a commissioned waterfall by famed artist Nayer Kazemi, which gives a soft, soothing sound throughout the Casa should you choose to use it. Ahead is a breath-taking view across the Carribean Ocean to Playa del Carmen and Xcaret through the 8 foot high floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors. All windows and sliding glass doors have screens and there are tropical wood ceiling fans in every room should you prefer gentle breezes and the sound of the waves to air-conditioning.
As you enter the Great Room, you see custom Ceramic tile floors, striking carved wood, rattan, and leather furniture, comfortable sofas and chairs, lots of reading lights, a satellite-TV, DVD/CD, and stereo with surround sound. Casa de la Luna Llena's 4212 sqft gives ample room for everyone to find a special nook or sufficient room to socialize and party. It's perfect for large groups of friends or family gatherings.
The dining table seats 10 comfortably but in luxury. There is a wine refrigerator, barstools, a fully equipped kitchen with top-of-the-line GE Profile appliances, and various small appliances. At the trestle desk in the Great Room, you can write your memoirs or fill out your dive log.
Four expansive bedroom suites each have their own private baths and balcony (check out the photos!). The Owner's Suite has a built-in Kohler 2000 Body Environment / Spa and a custom urinal for the discerning gentleman. One bedroom is even set up as an office if you want to work a little while you play.
The Office and the Great Room have a DSL hook-up. There is also an additional pop-up elevated Queen sized guest bed that is very comfortable. The Casa sleeps 8 people easily —- no tripping over each other and plenty of privacy (10 if necessary). There is also a beautiful half-bath just off the elevator.
On the 800+ sqft. oceanfront veranda is a hot tub (seats 6 to 8), chaise lounges, a table with 4 chairs, 2 rocking chairs with ottomans and 3 handcrafted Campeche sling chairs. The veranda wraps around the south side of the building so you have a panoramic view.
Your elevator also takes you to the basement/garage, directly opposite the entrance to the beach and the 3 level pool. Tables with umbrellas and chairs, chaise lounges, palapas are on the beach and by the pool.
There is a boat dock and dive rinse tanks; you can be picked up by any dive or tour outfit or scuba/snorkel right off your private beach. A secure storage locker is in the basement, so you don't have to cart your heavy wet gear up and down.
Across the street is Chedraui (a combination Costco, WalMart, Safeway, and Walgreen's), the local Cineplex and an Internet cafe if you left your laptop behind.
If you don't feel like cooking, there are many fine restaurants within walking distance or a short cab ride away. Or hire a personal chef and relax or the WYNSTON next door will deliver.
If you want authentic local food, stroll down any of San Miguel's side streets or go to the Mercado. The people are all delightful and friendly. The culture is warm and inviting. It is safe here!!!
Your multilingual, full-time American management provides daily maid service and can arrange for any number of activities--day trips to Xcaret, renting a scooter or car, babysitters, even private chefs.
We can answer any questions you have about diving in Cozumel. I have been diving for over 40 years (started with the Mark 1 Aqualung J. Costeau used), Military Mark 5 Hard Hat diver 2nd Class, and I am a PADI Master Diver. As an enthusiastic scuba diver, I spend as much time as I can in Cozumel. So whenever you're there [sigh], I'm a bit jealous 'cause I'm not. But you enjoy yourself, I'll have my time later! |
Pet Friendly: Call and inquire, it may be possible on a case by case basis. The Penthouse must be in perfect condition for all my guests (and myself) so pets if allowed would have to be perfectly trained and not be allowed on the furniture to avoid alergic reactions to some renters, etc. So far, no pets have ever been in the Casa.
