Private Beach Front Villas and Dive Shop

If I could give this spot 10 stars I would. It was the best vacation our family has ever had. The presents of Isabel and her staff on site was beyond reassuring. Her food is amazing. Well worth any price. Her helpfulness with little things...cabs, were to eat and on and on. The snorkeling was a highlight of the week. I am not adventurous with the ocean. Like to sit by it ;] But with her companionship and encouragement was truly worth letting go of any trust factor I may have with floating over a coral reef. The facility was clean and so welcoming. When we first walked in beyond the front gate it was so perfect for our little ones to run around and not worry about them wandering off. It was secure on all sides. I was sad to leave as was the rest of our family. We are already planning another trip in two years to go back. I believe it will be our new tradition.

We had an amazing 12 day stay at the Dive Lodge. We started our stay at the Dive Lodge about 3 Miles from town which is are amazing Villas. We stayed in the Carribeana which had a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and even a screened porch with a table and couch. The owners try to think of every detail down to shampoo (which was not the cheap or small versions you find in hotels). We had a full size refrigerator stove microwave and cooked breakfast ourselves every morning. I highly recommend this villa if you intend to cook for yourself at all. I am not sure which other villas have Kitchen inside them but this one does and it’s an amazing villa. This location is extremely private and quiet. We rented bikes for about 100 USD per bike for the entire 12 days which turned out to be the best thing ever!!

We love the town so after the first 5 days we asked the kind hosts if we could move to their Dive Lodge closer to town so that we could have a little more interaction with the town and other people. They graciously agreed.

The Dive Lodge closer to town is also quite amazing. We stayed in the only upstairs unit which consisted of a small refrigerator king bed and bath/shower. This is a new location for the owners so they are still working on getting it together as a beach club also. We did make a few suggestions to the manager, Breanna, who was alway accommodating and helpful. In the future I will definitely request a unit with a kitchen as this location does not allow the use of the kitchen outside of the units. The other location also had an outside Kitchen with a roof that anyone could use. It also had a pool table and pool. The closer to town location has one villa with a kitchen so if you are in that one you have no kitchen. Take note.. 12 days of eating out every meal gets expensive even when prices are as cheap as they are here and sometimes you just want to cook some fresh fish or something. For us, in hindsight, we always want a kitchen in the future.

This location has a very calm beach club with a bar next Store called Unico which has good food and drinks and many beach bars restaurants on the way to town . It is by NO means a party town which we liked but there are happy hours and good times to.be had. There were more restaurants that we could eat at in 12 days as well. I suggest going a street or two away from the beach and eating at some of the more rustic places as well.

We loved our hosts Luis, Isabel and Breanns. They are all so nice!

The Diving Lodge was more than I expected. Isabel is a very cheerful and helpful host. They truly care about their guests and go above and beyond to make your stay incredible. We celebrated my daughter's Quinceañera at the lodge and Isabel went out of her way to run errands for me and get groceries, a cake, flowers, and balloons. We will be coming back as soon as we can!

We stayed the first week of August 2017 with a group of 7 adults and 6 kids. The layout is really cool as you have villas surrounding the courtyard which has sand and hammocks which are just steps from the beach. The breakfast they provided were delicious as well as the 1 dinner we had with them. We shopped and cooked on our own in the outside kitchen for most of our stay which worked well for us. Isabella was so great as she provided us with whatever we needed without hesitation. We did a snorkeling excursion through them and they set us up with a fishing trip as well with the "Flying Fish" boat. Both were a great time and well worth the money. I loved that this place is about 15-20 minutes from the airport and then a short taxi into town if you want to go there. The water and beach had a lot of seaweed which hindered local snorkeling but I'm sure that varies day-to-day and time of year as well. Would definitely recommend this place and would love to go back!

On our trip we had a fantastic time at the diving lodge. It was comfortably located between Cancun and Playa del Carmen. Luis and Isabel we amazing!!! They were always ready to give information, suggestions and help. Offered to take us out on the boat and made us yummy sweets and an awesome breakfast! Rooms were very clean and we're cleaned on a regular basis during our stay. Such a wonderful place to be!
