Dear guests and those interested in the Yucatan,<br><br>Escape your everyday life _ * stay safe and keep your distance *<br><br>Details: 1st floor beachfront unit at Hacienda del Cuyo (1 bedroom + 1 living room/bedroom) for 4 people.<br><br><br><br>The colonial-style beachfront apartment on the 1st floor of Hacienda del Cuyo was built in the Mexican colonial style and is surrounded by coconut palms. The first floor is recommended for small families, singles, or couples seeking peace and relaxation in an excellent beachfront location. The fully equipped kitchen features a breakfast bar; the living room has 2 single beds; and the bathroom, with views of the beach and the ocean, includes a shower, bathtub, and toilet. The first-floor beach terrace with a Mayan palapa provides wonderful shade with a view of the ocean. We provide lounge chairs with cushions and a table with four chairs where you can enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner while looking out at the beach. The palm trees in front of the Hacienda offer wonderful shade under the blue, sunny sky—enjoy and relax!<br>- -<br><br><br><br><br><br>If you’re not interested in massive hotel complexes or all-inclusive resorts and would rather seek relaxation and rest away from the hotels of Cancun and Playa del Carmen, then El Cuyo—with its unspoiled, authentic Caribbean vibe—would be something truly special for you.<br>El Cuyo is a small village on the Yucatan Peninsula, still untouched by mass tourism, with coconut palms lining the shore.<br> El Cuyo is the only place dotted with palm trees. On all other beaches, the coconut palms were wiped out by a pest, and no reforestation has taken place. <br>Not so in El Cuyo—here, an unspoiled world still awaits you!<br><br> The fully furnished house, featuring a large beach terrace and surrounded by many coconut palms, is available to you year-round.<br> You can book only the first floor, which features 2 separate bedrooms, plus a living room/bedroom, a bathroom with a shower, and a kitchen—accommodating up to 8 people.<br><br><br> All vacation rentals are completely independent of one another, with separate entrances, beach terraces, fully equipped kitchens, and clean bathrooms.<br><br><br><br>On our days off, we love to explore the Yucatán to discover the legendary culture of the Maya... away from the city, traffic, and mass tourism. <br>One day, we ended up in El Cuyo by chance... even the arrival was amazing... we drove across a pink lagoon filled with hundreds of pink flamingos... and ended up in a quiet village full of coconut palms.<br>You pass a Mayan pyramid with a lighthouse built on top of it, and here’s the best part… you can even climb the lighthouse.<br> The streets in El Cuyo are still made of sand, with coconut palms as far as the eye can see and a fine white sandy beach without any tourists… wonderful!<br>We’d already been to many places in Yucatán, but none had coconut palms, since they’d been wiped out by a pest.<br>Not so in El Cuyo—here, all the palms were still standing in town and on the beach. We were enchanted by the Caribbean vibe, and then visited this heavenly, peaceful little spot every free weekend until someone offered us a small house for sale. At the time, it consisted of only a first floor. We immediately fell in love with this “diamond in the rough” and renovated it with a lot of heart and soul. We hadn’t even thought about renting it out as a vacation rental. <br>Then we built the penthouse on the first floor and the Casa Maya Lodge on the second floor.<br><br>Activities: <br>Flamingo watching, hiking, biking, diving, fishing, horseback riding, kitesurfing, paddleboarding, sea turtle and dolphin watching, pelican watching, etc., beach walks, shell collecting, building sandcastles, Mayan ruins, caves.<br><br><br><br>We look forward to seeing you,<br>Matthias and family<br><br><br>Photo credits<br> “
