Enjoy the best of the Mayan Riviera and the Yucatan Peninsula. Come home to the comfort and charm of Casa Colel Luna (Lady Moon House)!
This spacious, five bedroom, five bath home with its gorgeous private pool is located in the secure, gated community of Playacar, less than two blocks from the clean white sands and warm turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. It's just a hop, skip, and cha-cha-cha to the friendly town of Playa del Carmen and the ferry to Cozumel (a 30 minute ride).
At Casa Colel Luna you can relax in your hammock and enjoy the cooling breeze and stunning views of ocean, sky, trees, and your next door neighbor - the ancient Mayan Ruin of Xaman Ha. Green lawns, bright flowers, and tall, shady trees surround Casa Colel Luna. A sparkling swimming pool and waterfalls provide refreshment for the senses. Little ones will love the separate shallow play-pool and grown-ups will appreciate the swim-up bar. The garden area includes magical water features, gazebo, and patio with built-in BBQ grill and seating for up to 20 guests.
Casa Colel Luna offers many amenities, including satellite HDTV, DVD, stereo, iPod player, all kitchen equipment and appliances including a microwave, washer and dryer, and A/C in 3 bedrooms. There is wheelchair accessibility on the ground floor.
The bed set up is follows: Master suite 'Sirenas' (Mermaids): King bed, private bath with tub/shower. Penthouse suite 'Estrella del Mar' (Star of the Sea): Queen bed and twin bed, private bath with shower and ocean view. Master suite 'Girasol' (Sunflower): Queen bed, A/C, and private bath with tub/shower. Bedroom 'Rosa': Double bed and A/C. Bedroom 'Tigres' (Jaguars): Double bed and twin bed. This room is also air-conditioned. 'Rosa' and 'Tigres' share a bathroom with shower.
All rooms have terraces and are cooled by ocean breezes and ceiling fans. Pets will be considered--ask us! Maid service is provided three days a week (or more on request). There is an English-speaking manager to assist you and answer your questions. A wonderful cooking staff is also available. We can also provide child care, grocery shopping assistance, wedding planning and airport transfer.
Our spectacular swimming pool is designed as a miniature 'cenote' (a natural freshwater pool), complete with in-pool bar seating, waterfalls and a separate shallow play pool.
Casa Colel Luna is comfortable and spacious, ideal for families or groups of friends. We can accommodate large groups in neighboring homes as well. We are happy to provide additional information on our villa and activities in the area (including photos) on request.
A NOTE ABOUT THE 'PLAYA': THE BEACH IS BACK! With help from the federal government, a massive beach-renewal project has restored and augmented our gorgeous beach from one end of Playa to the other. Previous guests will remember that storms had removed much of the sand over the last few years, leaving 'pocket' beaches and little room for strolling and beachcombing. That has all changed! You can now walk from town all the way to the end of the Playacar hotel zone (about 2 miles) along the smooth sandy shore. Seeing is believing--so come on down and see for yourself!

We have visited Colel Luna for six years. The house is very comfortable and ideally located to shopping, dining, and the beach. The community is quiet and well maintained. Esperanza, the property manager, is a dear and most helpful. We will return next year for more enjoyment of Playa del Carmen and the surrounding attractions.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

A Wonderful Getaway Home

I have had the privilege to go to this beautiful house annually, for over 10 years, now. Every year, I have joined friends numbering 4 to 10 for at least 2 weeks at the end of February and/or beginning of March. Each year, the place seems to become more beautiful and comfortable and is very well maintained. Esperanza, the property manager, is so accessible problems that occasionally turn up are resolved quickly. She is very helpful with transportation, restaurants, places to go, events that are happening and will even cook for you! She is a valued person for this home away from home. The newest feature of the house is the fabulous pool (just like the photo shows). Underwater stools at one end of the pool make it easy for staying refreshed with drinks while watching others float around the center and the children playing in the little pool at the other end. The pool does give the beach some competition - the decision to walk to the lovely white sands and clear gentle waves of la playa is a quandary that one should welcome, I guess. There are many things to do that are walking distance to the house - shopping, dinning and sunbathing/swimming. Things to do and places to go outside of town and the house are many - Esperanza can help you with that if you need any assistance with that. Even after going there for so many years, there are new things to see and many places to revisit - this area can be as busy or 'laid back" as you want to make it. The beauty of this house is that it is just as comfortable to "stay in" as it is to find adventures outside. I love this house, as I said before, it just gets better every year I go. I highly recommend it for family gatherings, reunions or just getting away from the hustle and bustle of your daily life. Enjoy the stay in this little bit of paradise.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thanks for the great review and your kind words. We are honored to have faithful guests like you who return on a regular basis. Our wonderful manager Esperanza thanks you as well. She is so resourceful and loves to help our guests. We are so fortunate to have her invaluable services.

We had a wonderful time. The new pool was great, Esperanza and her husband were helpful as always and had wonderful suggestions on new places to visit, and the home was beautiful (you have great taste in decorating by the way). Our entire experience was fantastic!!! What was particularly nice is that it is a perfect place for a family. We were able to cook our meals, lounge in the pool after a day of exploring, and it is a minute walk to the beach or a minute walk to downtown. Thanks again and we may be touching base with you again in the near future.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Wow! From all of us, we thank you for your wonderful vacation paradise. We had such a fun time, and staying in your home was just perfect. The home and grounds are so beautiful and secluded. The staff is so very accommodating and friendly. The meal prepared by Esperanza and her family was one of the highlights for all of us. Really, I could go on and on with kudos on our gathering. Best of all was the feeling of home, where we could gather for meals, cards, and lots of laughter. This was truly the best Christmas gift we could have shared with our family and friends. There were a few day trips, snorkeling and Tulum, but for the most part, we spent lots and lots of time on the beach. The waves and the sand provided hours of fun for all of us. Having towels, chairs and beach gear available was an added bonus so we didn't have to pack or buy those items. Again thank you so much.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

Ten of us just returned from a week’s stay in Casa Co’lel Luna. It was oh-so-very-wonderful! Thank you for sharing your piece of Paradise with us. The home is beautiful, warm, cozy, clean, comfortable -- and we all loved “our” house-gato, Nani (and probably over-fed her, too). Your staff there are delightful, friendly, and helpful people. Esperanza and Alex and Belem cooked us a most delicious dinner which we devoured most of that night, and the rest the next day. Esperanza was most helpful arranging transportation for us both to and from the airport at Cancun. She also checked in each day and went out of her way to help us. Maria Cruz, our housekeeper, was a delightful soul who cleaned the house thoroughly each time she was there. We enjoyed her creative towel origami/artwork, too. It was a memorable vacation for each of us. We know that we picked the right place for our very special trip to Mexico. Thanks so much for everything!Did you find this review helpful?

Thank you so much for the comfort of your home. It was a perfect setting for our family, especially the grandchildren. The proximity to the beach and shopping was very handy. Esperanza was always available for suggestions and was always gracious. Our visits to Tulum, Xcaret, and the cenotes were all memorable.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

We had such an incredible stay at Casa Colel Luna. It is so beautiful and so peaceful here. The location is superb! It was such a greeat time for all my family who came down for my son's wedding. Everyone had there own space which we were all grateful for. A special thanks to Esperanza for all of her help, and to Alex and the rest of their family. The last night we were there we had a party of 18 for dinner and Esperanza and her family made a delicious meal. Thay made it feel like home. Thanks again and see you again!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

The house was amazing. Everything was very clean and the housekeepers were friendly and quick. The house is also very close to 5th Ave and the city of Playa del Carmen (within 5 minutes walk.) Also, you have beach access literally a minute away and the house comes with beach chairs and umbrellas and even a cooler to bring down. There is plenty of room in every bedroom, no one ends up sleeping in a living area. In summary, the house is very nice and affordable.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

A group of 7 ladies rented this house for a week in January of 2009. It was the perfect spot for hanging out, walking into town to shop and eat or walking down to the beach. Esperanza was fabulous and even arranged for a massuese to come and provide massages for those interested in making an appointment. I'll be looking to book this house again!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1996
About the owner: We are supposed to be retired but find ourselves busier than ever. We've been sharing our Playa del Carmen properties with satisfied guests since we built Casa Colel Luna in 1996. Since then we've acquired a small coffee farm in Kona, Hawaii, so we are kept busy working on the farm, relaxing and exploring in the Yucatan, and being with family in Santa Cruz, California.
Why the Owner Chose Playacar:
We bought the property in 1993 and built the home in 1996 when Playa del Carmen was a still a sleepy town off the tourist path. The location next to a Mayan ruin with a view of the sparkling Caribbean was just magical and irresistable--and it still is.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa:
We love our beautiful beach--just a 1-minute walk away--with its fine white sand and warm, clear water. Playa is such a fun town, very laid back, but also sophisticated--with fabulous restaurants and great shoping and entertainment. We love exploring hidden beaches, cenotes, Mayan ruins, and remote villages. The diving and snorkeling spots are some of the best in the world and easily accessible. Staying home and relaxing in a hammock or floating in the pool with a cool Corona or margarita is pretty good too.
