Tulum is our favorite vacation destination and we are so happy to have found Casita Bonita! I would consider ourselves independent travelers. We prefer to rent privately owned properties and explore a city on our own, hanging out where locals do versus staying at all-inclusive resorts and going on group tours.
We’ve rented Casita Bonita twice and consider it our home away from home. From the planning and reservations to the check-in and departure, the owners and management are helpful and go out of their way to make your stay as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. The kitchen is fully-equipped and there’s a BBQ grill in case you feel like cooking. And one of the best amenities is the private palapas, beach loungers, boogie boards, kayaks, and outdoor showers. Bonus: there were plenty of sand toys for our 3 yr old son!
We love the location of this house, especially because it’s situated on a very large white sand beach, in a convenient area just walking distance from all the cool restaurants and boutiques like La Troupe, Simple, Casa Banana, La Zebra, Hartwood, Casa Jaguar, just to name a few.
The beds are super comfortable and they provide high-quality linens and towels. The house and grounds are very well-maintained. The groundskeepers did a great job of cleaning the beach (removing kelp/ seaweed) every morning and housekeepers are friendly and keep the house fresh and clean.
I highly recommend Casita Bonita for families with 1-2 kids, friends or two couples sharing who want to truly experience paradise with a laid, back vibe -- with all the creature comforts you can imagine. There is air conditioning but with the ocean breeze, who needs it?
Also, here's a tip: there are 2 other rentals on the same property so if you have a larger group, you can try to rent out the whole property and have a big family reunion or vacation with friends.
