We are a family of 5 adults who wanted to try traveling at Christmas for the first time and get away from our cold winters. Linda was a great host, anytime we had a question she was responding very quickly. She provided us with tips on things to do and restaurants to eat at around the area which were very good.
The condo is beautiful with lots of colors and art on the wall, not dull or drab looking. I loved the table. The beds were very comfortable, and I did have a great sleep. The view of the ocean from the condo and pool was spectacular, loved that blue Caribbean water, the pool area was not very crowded when we were there and there is no music blasting in your ears the whole time. The property is mostly concrete so we didn't get to walk through any grass which I didn't think I would miss. There is a little snack bar by the main pool that served some tasty tacos, quesadilla's etc. Unfortunately, it did rain for a couple of days, so we would wander around La Isla Cancun, an outdoor shopping complex, about a 10-minute walk. The TV's were smart TV's and we had access to Netflix for an evening movie. There are some board games in the condo too, but we had brought some as well. The condo property sits right behind Kukulcan Plaza shopping mall. Not much in it, but there is a grocery store on the upper floor that made it convenient when we needed to grab something.
The only minor issues where the water in the bathroom sink wasn't working but started working after a couple of days. Hot water tap was missing in that bathroom so could not turn it on. The cleaning crew were very nice ladies, but they may need to do a quick double check before the next guests check in. When we arrived, we did find a wastebasket under the sink that was not emptied, a couple of dirty bowls that were put away and some dust bunnies on the sheets by the headboard in one of the rooms. Again, minor oversight things, we just wiped it up and went to the beach.
It is a perfect place for a family of six could be there comfortably and we would stay here again. Not sure about travelling at Christmas again. The condo area was not busy, but the crowds everywhere else were, well, crowded. Other than the overcast weather, it was still better than the -45 Celsius we left from. Oh and that whole Canadian airlines delaying and cancelling flights thing too.
Thank you for your hospitality Linda, we enjoyed your beautiful condo.
