The ocean views and property are amazing! The property is in a great location. Art made us feel so welcome and went as far as helping us celebrate my husband’s birthday with a cake and candle! It’s always sad when we leave. ##### Maria S. Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Don & Diane P., Ottawa Canada 27 Mar 2019 #### Great alternative to all-inclusive resorts A well maintained quiet facility of 4 units located on the gulf in the village. This charming unit has a huge shaded verandah, small private beach with water's edge right of way for beach walks. Bars and restaurants are walking distance. For a few pesos you can get a Collectivo to the larger port of Progresso where you find supermarkets, ATM machines and full shopping. Kim was a wonderful hostess who picked us up at our hotel in Merida and gave us useful tips for shopping and dining and attentive to our needs. Highly recommended. ##### Don & Diane P.

Vielen dank an Kimberly und Stan. ##### Silvia S. Stayed 12 nights in Apr 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### dorothy j. 10 Mar 2018 #### An absolutely wonderful little oasis on the beach run by owners who truly care. My partner and I spent a week in Sol and a 2 weeks in Mar. We were very happy in both. From the moment you walk into the walled securely walled courtyard with small pool and gardens you know you are in for a treat. Well equipped, comfortable beds, lots of air flow, and abundant towels for beach and bath. This is a new spot and the owners were extremely receptive to our and other guests suggestions to make additions or changes. (ie: immediately providing a small chest freezer for those of us who wanted more ice and a place to freeze extra food) Any problems or issues were attended to as quickly as possible. Kim is the local contact making it easy to learn everything you want to know about the area regarding restaurants etc. She is (along with Stan) kind, receptive, and fun too!!! The large tiled, covered veranda looking out over the beautiful beach is where we spent many happy hours on lounge chairs or in hammocks just reading or sometimes chatting with other guests . In all, a very special spot to revisit without hesitation! ##### dorothy j. Stayed 14 nights in Feb 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sharolynn a. 15 Feb 2018 #### Beautiful Our stay here was wonderful the property was beautiful and Kimberly was the best we will be back for sure and will bring my sister and husband . Can't say enough good things.the only thing wrong was our stay was not long enough next time though. ##### sharolynn a. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2018 ---
