Puerto Morelos has been designated National Reef Park because of it's efforts to preserve the largest barrier reef in the western hemisphere and the second largest in the world. Jacques Cousteau referred to this stretch of the Caribbean as having 'Gin Clear Water'. This world famous reef is just 500 meters from shore. You can walk to the nearby restaurants, central plaza, pharmacy, and grocery store. We are 4 blocks from the main square.
The Crococoon Zoo and famous Botanical Gardens are merely a ten-minute taxi drive from the Mermaid. The exciting nightlife and shopping in the Cancun Hotel Zone and Playa del Carmen are both about 30 minutes away. Also close by is the large city of Cancun, where you can experience the real Mexico and it's limitless shopping opportunities. Puerto Morelos is the gateway to the Mayan Riviera where it's possible to satisfy the Indiana Jones in you at many ancient Mayan archeology sites. These Mexican treasures include Chichen Itza, Tulum, El Rey, Coba, Muyil, and Uxmal just to mention a few. All along the Riviera Maya are the beautiful Cenotes where picnicking, snorkeling, diving, and nature walks are a special and unique experience for the foreign tourist and native Mexican alike.
There are also several large Eco Parks which are magical places to learn about local flora, fauna, and ancient and mysterious cultures -- or just plain relax in the tropical climate under a coconut palm with your favorite refreshment in hand. There is so much to see, experience, and learn about that you will want to return again and again. Our goal and mission at The Mermaid is to have every guest return home with stories of wonder and adventure, proclaiming it to be their best vacation ever. We know our guests are our best advertising. Check with us often and see what's new.

We went to Puerto Morelos in December and it was one of the best vacations we have ever had as a family. We were 5 adults and 3 children, (ages 4,5, & 8). We had plenty of space. My husband and I had the one of the king bedrooms (with a bathroom across from it) on the main floor, our two children shared the other king bedroom on the main floor (with an ensuite). Our friends had the upstairs bedrooms which both had ensuite bathrooms so everyone had their own private bathroom. The veranda on the top floor provided and unobstructed view of the beach. We had breakfast there every morning and watched the beach. What a wonderful way to start the day. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you can imagine (yes, a dishwasher). The only thing we brought was our stove top espresso machine and food. Travelling with kids we have found it is always better to have things you know they will eat. We all sat together for each meal. I think you will have space. The local restaurants were great also. We loved all of them. In the evenings alot of the children would gather in the town square and play soccer or simply play in the playground. There was no road noise. The town basically shuts down around 10:00pm and before that there isn't much going on. Perfect for families with small children. We loved the fact that we had our own private accommodation with a pool. No sharing with anyone. The kids would get up each day and go swimming (as soon as I could get some cheerios in them) for hours it seemed. We also went swimming after dinner on some evenings!! I highly recommend that you take life vests for the kids. We felt better knowing that if for any reason they slipped into the pool, they were safe. Jimmy, the caretaker, came every day to see that the pool was running smoothly. He was also a great resource and very friendly. We loved the town and have recommended Casa Mermaid to all of our friends!!! It isn't a luxurious hotel, but more of a family home. There was even videos for the kids to watch, which surprisingly did come in handy. They loved the Little Rascals!!! If your looking for a more quiet off the beaten path sort of vacation then this is the place for you. There were plenty of towels which was great. Jeannie even let us use her computer to check email etc. We used is everyday. It came in very handy when we wanted to do research for day trips. There were alot of travel books in the living room as well magazines and children's books upstairs. If you are thinking about renting a vehicle do so online before you arrive and do your pick up at the airport. We rented a car after the fact to go to Tulum and it cost us 3 times as much!!! Oh well live and learn. It is very easy to get from the airport to Casa Mermaid.

Jeannie, We're packing up this morning, sad to go. We've had the most marvelous week here, and enjoyed being all together in your house. No catastrophes happened! The grandkids LOVED the pool. Even after a full day of swimming in the ocean they would race home and jump in the pool and stay there til we dragged them out! Our daughters and their spouses planned a magical anniversary dinner out on the pier at the resort up the beach, Ceiba del Mar. I'll have send you some photos we took of that evening and of your house lit up at night. Anyway, we've had so much fun, and everyone who helped us along the way was friendly, friendly friendly. A very good vacation. I hope we will go again in the not so distant future. We had such an amazingly good time. Dana

March 1009 Dear Jeannie We had a great time and loved your place. It had everything we needed. We really liked Rolando, he is a sweet guy, and of course the resident iguana's, though not as sweet as Rolando. I would like to add that the beds were the most comfortable beds I have ever slept on in Mexico. If we can get a group together again for next year we will contact you. Thanks, Tana McPhee

Feb 2009 Hi Jeannie, Well, we are now missing Mexico. We had a great time. I'll mail the keys back to you this week. This was our third stay we enjoyed the extra days you gave us. I would say that Maria is missed. So, like I said, we enjoyed ourselves a ton! Jim was able to clean the pool for us and we had a great time. It's such a fun little town. It will be interesting to see what follows the Oxxo in development. Take Care- Liz
