My family of 5 (spouse and I, children 14, 11, and 8) enjoyed an amazing week at Casa Beduinos. The pictures of the home don't do it justice - modern, comfortable, well equipped, super clean, all in a perfect locale.
Mily, the owner, and her husband met us at the property upon arrival and made sure that we had all that we needed and checked in with us periodically to ensure our comfort - super accessible, they also introduced us to the home's caretaker, Miguel, who lives nearby.
The home has three large bedrooms with en suites, A/C's, flat screen TV's, High Speed Internet, and an additional full bath easily accessible from the pool and common living area.
From the back porch, a 20 yard stroll down a sandy path takes you to the beach where we looked for sea shells (best shell beach I have ever seen and I live in California), built sand castles (very nice soft sand), and played in the calm waters. We walked the beach for at least a mile in either direction and NEVER saw another soul. This area is what I imagine the Florida Keys were like 50-60 years ago.
The home was far enough to make you feel like you were "getting away from it all" and close enough to not feel isolated.
From the home we took day trips to Merida, Progreso, Chichen Itza, cenotes, other ruins, etc. The roads were excellent and driving at night never felt unsafe.
We have been visiting the Cancun/Playa del Carmen area for 20 years, but got tired of the commercialization of the area (feels like a more expensive version of Santa Barbara, CA) - Merida/Progreso and Casa Beduinos is our new "goto" spot.
Can't wait to go back!
