We just returned from an amazing week at Casa Chanty. The home is just as it shows with the living area having a stunning wrap around view of the ocean. The sand is incredibly soft and white and the ocean is crystal clear and warm. I have to say that the beach is one of the best we have seen. We did rent a car, which I highly suggest, because it is a little ways away from shopping, restaurants, etc. Puerto Morelos is about a 10 minute drive and has everything you need including grocery stores, restaurants on the beach, souvenier shops, fishing and snorkeling. The home is situated between Cancun and Playa del Carmen so it was easy getting around to all of the areas. We enjoyed Tulum and cenotes which were only about an hour away but there are closer ones as well.
The home has everything you need including coffee pot, blender, pots and pans, dishes. It is important to keep food off the counters to prevent ants but that is to be expected anywhere. There were 7 of us and there was plenty of room in this 3 bed/3ba plus loft home. We were very comfortable in the beds and enjoyed the individual a/c in each room. The bathrooms were great and there was plenty of hot water. Yes, you do need to wait a few minutes to get the water hot as per other reviews, but, who cares!
We are looking forward to returning some day and renting the entire home instead of only the top Penthouse.
The boys used the kayaks to go further out into the ocean and the girls enjoyed the outdoor beds and pool area for relaxing.
Alberto lives in the back house and was there whenever we needed him for fresh towels, toilet paper, taxis, or whatever. My girls fell in love with Perla, his dog, and wanted to take her home with us.
Be sure to book this home...you will be so happy you did!
