“LOVE THE VIEW” My friends and I stayed at this condo for 2 weeks. The location is great and the view is amazing. We could snorkel and swim off the pier. For the most part the water was calm and the fish plentiful (the bad storm up north affected the weather a few days). It was easy to book and the owners were very prompt in their replies. We got to meet the owners on our arrival and they gave us loads of information about the island, places to see, things to do, where to eat etc. Having travelled to Mexico and rented condo's several times, in Puerto Vallarta, I was impressed with how quiet it was here. No barking dogs, no roosters. We had to contact Yasmin, the property manager, a few times and she was prompt and helpful. All in all a great holiday.

“Quit Incredible! Best stay of all in Cozumel” This house is really a treat in every way. The rooms are filled with light and air with gardens in view out each window. We spend a week here with a marvelous host named Marco. Not only was the house well equipped with every thing we needed it also offered a feel of serenity not found often in a renal home. The pool is completely private...no need for a swimming suit! We enjoyed the terrace just outside each bedroom. Each room had its own bathroom also. There are 2 bedroom in the main house with the 3rd bedroom offered in a small cottage located on the other side of the pool. The cottage gives a couple or individual real privacy and is just lovely. Marco is such a unique person offering his guest kindness and a real concern for your happiness. He is articulate, well traveled, well read, spirited with zeal for living. One could not find a better friend. He has a real sense of what a traveler needs for a perfect stay. Easy walk to several restaurants and just 2 blocks for the water, very safe feel to this neighborhood also. I for one will come back! I would not hesitate to recommend this home to any one, even those with the most discerning taste and experience.

“We Keep Coming Back for More” We have been to Casa Carlita twice and are planning on a third visit. The staff and property are ideal. We loved the convenience of being close to the action but also that we had our own private home. We will keep coming back for more!

“Felt like home!!!” Henney and team did everything to make our stay feel like home. The accommodations were always clean and I have seen first hand the cleaning process. When people left, a major cleaning of everything was done on all levels. If something was missing or needed, all you did was ask, and it was all done right away. Friendships were made with Henney and staff that I will cherish fore ever. Thank you Henney, my friend fore ever. Monique & Bob Vincent

“My favorite place to stay in Cozumel” I have stayed at Casa Martillo every year for the last 10 years or so. I keep going back because it's a great place - clean and comfortable, in a great location, and one of the best values around.

“Really nice condo, but not perfect” We found Casa Phillip to be a very nice place to stay. However, it let us down in two major ways. The description (and photo) tell of a flat screen TV in the den. We really wanted this, as we were two couples with very different TV tastes, so we could each have a TV to watch if needed. We also dislike always having to have the TV on in the living room should one couple wish to watch and the other not. There was no TV in the den. Bummer! Not that we watched TV that much, but it was one of the defining features that prompted us to rent Casa Phillip. Secondly, we like to cook our breakfasts in our condo. The stove top was really bad. It barely got warm. For such a nice new condo it was awful. This was a bummer as well. Cooking our chorizo just got really difficult. We also could not find any trash bags and our garbage really overflowed out of the canister. The pool table in the lounge was also kind of a joke. The pool cues were in very poor shape, with no chalk. We played a few games, but it was pretty rough. Those negatives aside, we loved the views, the roominess, the decor and the complex in general. We found the pool to be uncrowded and there were pool noodles and coolers in the washroom that we enjoyed. Reasonably good wi-fi was also a plus. We used it a lot. The dinging of the elevator was not as noticeable as I feared from another review. But it wasn't a busy time of year, so it wasn't used all that much. Taxis were very easy to flag down right in front of the complex - I don't think it every took more than 3 minutes to get one. So it is a really nice place to stay other than what I mentioned. Margaret and Pawel also went out of their way to make the master bedroom special for our honeymooners. (For a fee.) That was a nice touch.

“Very nice accomodations and location!” Our condo was larger than I thought from the pictures, which is always a nice beginning to your trip! It was comfortably furnished with easy access to the pools and beach, right into the jungle courtyard. We really liked our location which is a bit away from town, you must have a rental car or pay $20.00 per taxi ride, ends up to cost more than a rental, FYI. Cozumel is a very inviting Island, just beautiful. Our only complaint regarding the condo were the beds, they really need to be replaced, especially the sofa sleeper, I read an earlier review with the same complaint, so it would be great if the owner would take note. Residencias is an overall nice place!

“We will be comming back!” Had a great time at Casa Margaita and the Residencias Reef. The location of the condo was great, the only thing better would be the building right on the beach (and you would pay a ton more). We loved the first floor and how easy it was to just walk right out the back to the beach and pool, which are just right there! The condo had everything we needed and more. Having the phone to call the us was great and everyone in the local office was helpful. We were never able to get a hold of alex (the manager) even though he said it would work to call from the phone in the room but we just called the office and that worked for us too. I would def recomend getting a rental car, we did not and i wish we had. Also, make sure to get groceries on your way to the condo cuz once you are there you will want to relax and not go grocery shopping, not to mention you can't buy booze at the store after 9. There isn't much in walking distance, one beach club, but in the slow season it closes at like 5. The tub on the back porch is cold water, wish it was warmer but not the end of the world and i have heard this about all the back porch tubs so its not just this one. We got a great rate and they allowed us to check out late which was helpful since we had a later flight out. it was just my husband and i but it would have been great for our two year old too. We will def be coming back!!!

“Wonderful place, clean and affordable” We stayed here for a month from Nov.11-Dec.11/2013. This was a well kept, clean and spacious unit -- well stocked with cutlery, dishes, pots and pans, etc.

“Huge, comfortable, relaxing” The villa was even bigger than I thought it was from pictures. Everyone had their own room, and was quite comfortable. The kitchen was large and accommodating. The pool area was beautiful and relaxing with a large patio, plenty of seating and the BBQ was a great addition. My only complaints were that the cable was out on the TV (not a big deal, as we weren't there to watch TV anyway), we ran out of drinkable water on our first night there and had to buy our own, and the maid was a bit snoopy when organizing our belongings (she never stole anything, but she touched and rearranged all of our personal items, and seemed to hide some of our items in strange places. Maybe hoping we wouldn't find them?) The location is in a quiet residential area, about a 30-45 minute walk from downtown; a bit farther than I would have liked, but it's a few blocks away from a large grocery store. Overall this is a great rental property. It is considerably cheaper than most other rental options of the same size on the island. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a large private villa in Cozumel.
