About this property

LA PALAPA AT BLUE IVY HI SPEED FIBER OPTIC INTERNET FULLY AIRCONDITIONED

Located on the town (beach side) of Puerto Morelos. Sea views from upstairs in la palapa. A short 4 minute walk to wide beach entrance. Easy 20 min walk to town on beach or paved road for biking or walking. 8 minute drive to town. 10 min on bike. A private home with stunning new pool in one of the most beautiful settings in Puerto Morelos. A stay in our two story Beach House offers “the best of all possible worlds”

Combining a 'traditional' Mayan Palapa with a modern Adobe home, great snorkeling and swimming with easy beach access. Large front sundeck and back terrace deck with heavenly outdoor shower and gorgeous completely private pool.
Downstairs fully air conditioned living room bedroom air conditioned with en suite bath.
Upstairs in la palapa is also fully air conditioned shower on outside terrace.
We are located in the town of Puerto Morelos, only twenty minutes south of Cancun airport and ten minutes from the main highway leading to historic Mayan sites, popular tourist attractions and modern shopping and dining.

The upstairs 'Palapa' (newly air conditioned) has a twenty-five foot high thatched peaked ceiling with varnished wood beams and tiled floors, a king size bed and hammocks, a private bathroom and two outdoor sundecks – one facing the ocean where you can sunbathe and enjoy the Caribbean breezes – fabulous sunsets over the jungle from the back terrace. You can watch the sun rise from your upstairs bed or luxuriate in an invigorating outdoor shower surrounded by palms and bamboo trees.

The town plaza of Puerto Morelos is only five minutes by car, taxi, an easy bike ride or a twenty-minute leisurely walk along the beach. Puerto Morelos, a small unassuming town with all the conveniences you could desire and no tourist congestion, boasts fine restaurants, a pizza parlor, cafés, a playground, church, beaches, a grocery store, a bookstore, a travel agency, and a dive shop (if you decide not to snorkel from the beach in front of the Palapa) and once a week an outdoor fresh produce market.

You can also sun and shop and play in Cancun or Playa del Carmen or tour the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza, Coba and Tulum. The entire coast (the Mayan Riviera) is one long stretch of beautiful beaches, cabanas, and ecological environmental parks where you can horseback ride, swim in ceynotes and underground caves and visit the historical Mayan Ruins. Taxis are plentiful and reasonable for trips up and down the coast. There are also tour buses to various Mayan sites that can be booked in Puerto.

The biggest problem? You'll never want to leave!!

La Palapa was spacious, immaculate, well-equipped and a perfect location for our family. A bit out of town, easy to bicycle, quiet and with access to the beach. Colleen and Nora were terrific - responsive hosts and they gave us great tips for local restaurants & snorkeling. The kitchen was especially thoughtfully equipped. We hope to return to La Palapa!

This house was an absolute gem, and the backyard truly felt like a little oasis. We enjoyed our time at the house just as much as we enjoyed exploring the surrounding area. Watching the wildlife and relaxing by the pool was a highlight of our stay. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the amenities plenty. It’s always a bonus when the owners are wonderful—and that was definitely the case here. We received so many helpful tips from both Colleen and Nora. Their communication is great and they genuinely want you to enjoy your stay. As vegetarians, we also appreciated the restaurant recommendations. (El Huerto del Puerto was excellent, and the rooftop dining at Portside PM was fantastic—their black bean burger was top-notch.) We truly cannot recommend this stay enough. Thank you for sharing your home with us; what a cool experience!

Beautiful stay at the palapa!

We had a fantastic stay at the house—it was ideal for our group of three. The pool was fantastic, and the location couldn’t have been better, just a short walk to the beach. The check-in and check-out process was seamless, and the host stayed in touch throughout our stay, ensuring we had everything we needed. We also worked remotely for a few days, and the Wi-Fi was reliable. Highly recommend!

Super stay in Puerto Morelos!

The palapa was wonderful for our stay, we have 2 children, and we felt very safe in this area.There were a few ants/bugs in the home, but that is to be expected as the jungle is in the backyard. The check-out process was a little confusing, as there is no written instructions posted as to check-out time and procedures, but otherwise the hosts were lovely and so helpful. Highly recommend!!

What a gem in every way! Staying here made our entire vacation. Nora and Colleen were incredible and so warm and inviting. Their communication from the very beginning was excellent. They gave us excellent recommendations for restaurants and snorkeling. The house was beautiful, clean and spacious with comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and the pool was a perfect place for our family to relax and enjoy after a day at the beach. Blue Ivy is a true oasis and we loved everything about it! Thank you Colleen and Nora!!

La Palapa is a beautiful home located in the heart of Puerto Morelos which is a charming little town with the most amazing food! The hosts Colleen and Nora were wonderful to work with and very accomodating. Nora greeted us on day 1 and offered to show us her restaurant picks and things to do around town. We had an issue with some ants but the hosts acted quickly and had someone come and spray, which resolved the issue! My only suggestion prior to visiting anywhere in Puerto Morelos is to inquire about the sargassum status and smell. It was very strong and if youre not used to it, it can be very overwhelming.

Simply Amazing!

This property is truly a gem! The pool was perfect and the house was spotless, well equipped, and gorgeous. The two bicycles were a fun way to get to town, though I would recommend renting a car if you have small children or a larger group of people as the taxis end up being kind of spendy and the walk into town is pretty long. Communication with the hosts was excellent, they really took care of us! Hope we can make this an annual vacation spot!

This wonderful, thoughtfully designed, carefully curated house was a magical place to stay in Puerto Morelos. The property is exquisitely maintained and the perfect place for a family vacation. The kitchen is fully equipped, the beds a great and there are TWO outdoor showers! The pool is a terrific option for non-beach swimmers, and theres a sunshade for outdoor meals. It is close to town, but rent a car as the heat can be a lot. Colleen is a present (but not hovering) host, happy to respond and answer all questions. She knows the best fishing guide, the best restaurants and kindly showed us a tour of the town. The housekeeper was lovely and most welcomed. The town has everything you need from restaurants offering vegan options to a night market with fun keepsakes. In short, my family and I can not say enough wonderful things about our time in Colleen's magical house, we can't stop talking about how to make it back before too long. I will recommend to all our friends!
A lovely morning at the pool.

Little Oasis

The house was very clean and private. Had everything needed for our stay. Pool and outdoor cooking area were lovely. There was a perfect crossbreeze through the upstairs windows, so you wake up to the sounds of the birds and a view of sunrise over the ocean. Norma showed us around town as part of check in. Both hosts were available if we needed anything via whatsapp

Colleen and Nora were great hosts. They were very helpful and even drove us to town and showed us around. The house is great and very well equipped with about anything you need. Having our own pool was so nice. I highly recommend this property. Felt very safe the whole time we were there. We even met some of the neighbors who were very nice. Actually everyone we met in Puerto Morelos were very friendly and made us feel very welcome.

Good, relaxing few days.

Very comfortable property and loved the pool area, which is totally secluded. Stairs to the upper level are challenging and may not be suitable for everyone. A good 20 minute walk to the main square, or slightly longer on the road (but an easier walk). Lots of good places to eat in town; we didn’t use the facilities at the villa. Colleen was very helpful and responsive, when needed.

Incredible Hosts!

The property is in a great location close to Puerto Morelos. Off street, secure parking. Beautiful pool and grounds. Everything we needed for our stay. I don't have enough great words to describe the kindness of the hosts. My wife slipped and broke her leg the day we were to check in. We were several hours late and were treated wonderfully. Nora escorted us to the grocery store and gave us a brief tour of the beautiful town. We are looking forward to our next visit. Thank you, Nora and Colleen!

Perfection!

What a beautiful, serene home-away-from-home Colleen and Nora have created in Puerto Morelos! The home and property are thoughtfully appointed and beautiful. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The home is spotless. The private pool and grounds are so well maintained and clean. The property location is quiet and safe - I could have stayed here for months!But what really made this an all-around 5 star review was the exceptional kindness and professionalism of the hosts. Nora and Colleen are simply wonderful! Their communication was fantastic - always quick to respond both leading up to and throughout our stay. When my transportation to the airport fell through, to my great relief, they kindly directed me to a reliable and trusted driver. Bottom line: don’t pass this listing up! I’ll be booking again for 2026! (Fingers crossed!)
