About Nancy Cousins
We live in Canada and love to take winter vacations. When we found Solymar it was simply a great fit for us. It is on the beach so you wake up every morning to that beautiful aqua marine blue ocean that is so special. Solymar is on the 'tourist ' strip yet is a much smaller condominium resort. It has everything that we need, beautiful beach, ocean view , full kitchen that allows us to make healthy choices in the foods we buy and eat,with an adult pool and a children's pool. When we go to Solymar it is like coming home.
Nancy Cousins purchased this condo in 2002
Why Nancy Cousins chose Cancun
We love the Caribbean and find Cancun an easy to get to destination from almost anywhere. Mexico has just about everything one would want on a vacation at a reasonable price. Cancun offers scuba diving, snorkeling, great historical ruins and great restaurants and easy access to all. If you like to cook your own meals, Costco Cancun is a great resource.
What makes this condo unique
Healthy food choices at the local Costco, Wal-Mart, Soriana's.Save money by eating in for breakfast and lunch.Then enjoy eating out at the many fabulous restaurants Cancun has to offer! With the two new mega grocery stores right in the Hotel Zone, makes shopping for healthy choices easier all the time.
Guestbook comments from the manager
We rented a condo from Nancy and Larry Cousins recently and were so pleased. The location was great...right on the beach but on the "quiet" end of the hotel zone. The condo was so comfortable and we especially enjoyed being able to prepare many of our own meals there, which was a real "money-saver". We often enjoyed breakfast on the lovely terrace and watched the sunset with a glass of wine there also. The panoramic view was spectacular! For those who choose to eat out, there is a nice restaurant on-site which is very convenient. Every day we would hop on the bus (7.5 pesos, very cheap). It runs continuously right in front of the property, so getting around couldn't be simpler. I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Cancun and I will be recommending Nancy and Larry's condo to family and friends.

Can't wait to come back!
We stayed at Larry and Nancy's condo the first week of March and had an amazing vacation! The view is perfect, and the location is fantastic! We really appreciated having the beach umbrella and chairs and used them every day while we were there. The kitchen is well-equipped and the wi-fi worked great. Communication with Larry and Nancy was very smooth, and we found the office staff to be very helpful as well. An overall great experience and we're already looking forward to staying there again sometime!
Great View, Beach, and Location
We stayed at Solymar for 5 nights. The view from our condo was excellent. Everything and more that we needed was provided. The condo was clean and the staff was very friendly. Had no problem getting from the airport to the condo and back since Nancy provided with a very informational letter prior to going. We didn't spend much time in the condo since we explored everyday . It was easy access to get on the bus and to wherever we were going from Solymar. Location was in a quiet area but not far from shopping and eating. Thank You so much for helping make our first trip to Cancun a pleasant and unforgettable one.

Nice and convenient place in Cancun
We rented this place for 5 nights. We arrived late but we didn't have any problem getting in based on the instructions provided by the owner. Condo was very clean and well kept. Nice and pleasant interior decorations and furniture arrangement. Kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and cleaning. We really enjoyed beautiful ocean and pool view from the balcony and lagoon view from the terrace. Overall building facility seems little older and simple but maintained well. Wifi in the unit worked well and property management staff were available just few units away during the day. Adequate parking for our car but also easily accessible by bus.
A Real Gem!
My husband and I spent a wonderful week at this condo. We were a little reluctant to go to Cancun because of the huge resorts located there and the high density of tourists in the hotel zone. We were not interested in an all inclusive and so chose this place for a week of relaxation. It is fantastic. The unit we stayed in is beautifully maintained and decorated. The king size bed was very comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped for making meals. The bathroom is spacious and beautifully tiled.
Everything in the unit is of high quality and you can tell there is pride of ownership. The unit is very clean. There is a small balcony on the ocean side, looking out to the pool and beach. On the other side, there is a lovely, spacious deck overlooking the lagoon. The deck has a barbecue and table for eating out and enjoying sunsets.
We had the pleasure of meeting the owners while we were there and they were great in terms of giving advice on where to go for groceries, how to rent a car, good restaurants to try out, etc.
The beach is spectacular and it is fun to bounce around in the waves in the beautiful, warm water. There are lounge chairs and palapas on the beach to provide some shade.
I am really grateful we were able to stay here and will happily return!
Rent Somewhere Else!
Funny, it seems I will be the first bad review. I came the week before Memorial day to celebrate my college graduation and birthday. The staff at the Solymar are not friendly to you if they learn that you are staying in the condos. This insinuates how bad of a relationship the owners have with the hotel staff. The condo however is beautiful. Everything is clean the view is great and it comes with everything you would need during your stay. I was unfortunately attacked and assaulted my second day of vacation and received no help from the hotel staff at all. Because I stayed in the condo I was of no concern to them. I went to talk with Nancy's assistant and she was absolutely no help because she could not speak a lick of English, so understanding her and having a conversation was a very tiring experience. My parents booked my flight back home on the third day. Nancy's other managers appeared that day and seemed to be a bit more helpful in letting me and my friend communicate with our parents, however they sat and asked us to explain our story as if we had not already been through enough trauma. I did so in hopes that we would be getting some type of refund back but they said nothing of the sort. I emailed Nancy a couple weeks later asking for any accommodations she could possibly give me for my traumatic time and got no response. It has been a month since I sent her an email and she did not even care to respond. She was very atentative when I booked the hotel so I can only assume that she decided not to respond because she is a money hungry heartless individual. I would never recommend booking with her.
For a few reasons:
1. As owner of the condos in the Solymar she has not established a good relationship with the the workers at the hotel.
2. The main secretary she has there does not speak ANY English only syllables and hand gestures.
3. She is obviously heartless and solely about making money. I should have at least gotten a response, especially since I was only there for 3 out of the 7 days I paid for. And I am almost certain there was something in the fine print which stated credit could be given on future bookings if for any reason there was a cancelation.
4. Also you would hope that the person you are renting from cares about the well-being of her guests while they stay in her establishment.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE STAY HERE. YOU would be better off staying at an establishment with friendlier staff and owners.
Better than expected
Hello all,
I will start out by letting everyone know that I take reviews pretty seriously and I review for both bad and good experiences. For the price you almost think you will be staying in a dive but its quite the opposite. Very clean, comfortable and has everything you need including a fridge, stove, microwave, sink and all the utensils. The view is a lagoon view but it’s not bad at all and the poolside in my opinion isn’t worth the increased price. Nancy is a great host, she responds to questions right away and does a great job explaining on what to do, how to check in and so on. So friendly! The last thing you want when traveling to another country you are not used to is a host who makes things difficult for you. The Solymar is located about 5 or 10 minutes bus/taxi from the main drag so you are away from the hustle but still close enough if you want to get your party on. One of the things I LOVE about this place is it has a great beach. Its not super crowded like many of the Cancun beaches are. If you walk down the beach past the other resorts you will see what I mean. I was very happy with Nancy, property management and everyone else I came in to contact with! I would definitely stay here again!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
