Excellent Family Vacation
Casa Alonso was the perfect place for our family vacation. Antonio was an incredible host, and quickly became a family friend over our 1 week stay. We had 3 young kids (ages 5 an 8), parents, and grandparents. There was plenty of space for all 9 of us. We rented a car and drove to various cenotes, Mayan Ruins, lagoons, beaches. There are plenty of good restaurants within walking distance and even more within a 5 min drive. Daily we would get fresh tortillas and fruit and veggies at local stands/shops in Puerto Aventuras (5 min away). There is a large grocery store, Chedraui, that has everything you might want for food, toiletries, sunscreen, etc. The house has a beautiful kitchen stocked with everything you need to make elaborate feasts; you just need to buy the food. We brought our own snorkel equipment and life jackets for the kids, but you could have rented them easily at each place we went. There is a perfect kid beach only a 5 min walk away. Some of us would kayak to the beach across the lagoon that backs up to the house; 2 kayaks are included with the house. The beach is calm and shallow with lots of fish. Several of us would walk to the dive shop (10 min walk) to dive the nearby coral reefs. They were beautiful dives. We saw iguana, spider monkeys, and sereque (looks like a mini capybara) all in the backyard. The kids loved having a pool in the yard. The adults loved that the pool stays shaded almost all day, but you don't have to go far to find the sun if you want it. We never ran out of things to do; we could have stayed much longer and still not returned to the same place twice. The house is inside a gated community, but the area feels very safe both inside and outside the wall. In the past we have stayed at all-inclusive resorts, but we loved this style of trip so much more. We will definitely come back, and we definitely recommend this place.
