**SPOOKTACULAR SAVINGS** Stay 4 nights & 5th night FREE~Luxury home~private pool

We rented Casa Mar Azul for a birthday vacation with 2 friends. It was perfect with three suites each with their own bathroom because - lets face it, everyone is happier when they don't have to share! The house has its own pool and 2 separate decks which were both so fab - the living room and kitchen also perfect. We had a power outage that lasted about half a day that truly sucked as it was HOT as hell. Both the owner and Stacy the manager were on it from the start and so so great to work with - they sent us out to dinner on them and by the time we got back boom.....cool air and working appliances (thank GOD) Really can't say enough good things about the owner Ashely, Stacy the manager and Monica the housekeeper. They are all so great and responsive to our questions and both Stacy and Ashley kept us posted about the outage until it was fixed.

We had such an amazing time on Isla, spent many days across the way at the Garrafon de Castilla which is an awesome little beach club that costs about $5 per person to enter. They have snorkel gear, life vests, even towels to rent and a little restaurant that serves pretty decent food. Tons of excellent snorkeling and iguanas all over the place....its been one of my fave spots and this trip just cemented that for us. Casa Mar Azul is a great home base for a stay on Isla, comfy beds, great kitchen, fabulous Monica and everything you need to enjoy your vacation. There are tons of stairs as its a multi level home so keep that in consideration for ppl who have issues or little kids, otherwise book it and enjoy this place!!

We recently stayed here with another family (4 adults and 4 kids). The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious and each had their own bathroom which was really convenient. The kids enjoyed splashing around in the pool every chance they got in between our adventures on the island. The location of the house was great as well.

We were walking distance to The Joint for drinks and comfort food. We were also close to Garrafon Park where we enjoyed a whole day of zip lining, snorkeling, kayaking, and great views at Punta Sur. We really enjoyed exploring the island on the golf cart we rented. We also visited Playa Norte and the Turtle Farm - both great places. We tried the Beach Club right outside the house, but felt it was kind of run down, not very family friendly, and lots of small rocks so bring water shoes if you plan to snorkel. Lots of fish though if you could get past the rocks without hurting your feet.

Our favorite place we discovered on the last night was Mar-Bella Restaurant and Seafood Market. It was a quick golf cart ride away. We had the best fresh fish and shrimp. The kids enjoyed playing in the sand while the adults ate and enjoyed the beautiful sunset. Really cool place with hammocks in the water and a large swing for the perfect family photo.

We were very happy that we chose to stay at Casa Mar Azul on Isla Mujeres.

There were some maintenance issues with both properties. There was no water the first day. Then the AC went out in the adjoining house. The staff was very courteous and was present when repairs were being made. Unfortunately I developed a serious bacterial infection while I was there so it is difficult for me to remember much other than that. However, we will be going back and will try to rent the same houses.

Ashley's home is very beautiful and spacious. It was very well kept while we were there since housekeeping was awesome and they tended to our needs with no complaint. The first day was cool because someone was there to make us guacamole to kick off the trip (it was so good). Initially, we almost cancelled as were concerned about an incident on one of the ferry's to Playa Del Carmen but Ashley assured us Isla Mujeres was safe. While no one can guarantee your safety especially when they are not there everything turned out fine. Isla Mujeres is ideal if you really don't plan on leaving the island because the ferry's and the taxi's back and forth become expensive over time. We had issues at times with the taxi's they recommended overcharging us to get to and from the port but we dealt with it and tried not to let it ruin our trip. After our trip, I texted the manager to thank her for everything for the weekend and she made a sarcastic comment about us being concerned about our safety on the island because of the ferry incident I mentioned prior to travel. While frustrating, I didn't even bother to respond as the trip was over at that point and yes while we were safe, no one should ever discredit how someone feels about being safe in another country. That wasn't customer service friendly but it's over now. Overall, the home is beautiful and great service. I have no desires to go back to Mexico again so I doubt I will stay here again.

The house with everything we were looking for in our vacation. The pool was great for our small children that are not great swimmers. The beds were comfortable and every room was spacious. The only small space is the kitchen. We rented a golf course while we were there and were able to get around comfortably. We liked being away from the town center as it made it more peaceful. The only downside was that the food restaurant “the joint” has live music and can be heard (at times their talent was questionable). We tended to stream our own music if the music from the joint was not good. The house manager and housekeeper, Stacy and Claudia were awesome. Everything we asked for assistance was met with quick efficiency.
