The apartment is in a beautiful complex, charming, old-style architecture, and beautifully decorated, spacious, and very comfortable. The plants and animals outside added so much charm - the flowers were gorgeous, and the beach is literally 3 minutes away. We even befriended a local cat whom we called Carmen - she was a great addition to our company.
The apartment also has everything you need for the beach - chairs, towels, a parasol. We also made our Christmas dinner at home - it was great to be able to cook and have a quiet family supper. (By the way, the supermarket is maybe 10-15 minutes away, so that was very practical.) The patio is very secluded and inviting - we spent a lot of time there.
We were also able to go on a day trip to visit the Maya ruins in Tulum and Coba and swim in a cenote. That was a huge bonus!
Thank you, Marie, so much, and happy 2019!
