Property is located behind a security gate. Easy 1 min walk to the beach from the casita. Private chairs waiting for us on the beach and easy walk to the restaurant located at a resort.

We absolutely LOVED our 4 day stay at Casa Playa Maya! It was the perfect quiet, restful getaway for my husband & I. Luis met us as we parked and gave us a tour, instructions, and answered all our questions. Throughout our stay, he was always available in person or by phone for restaurant & activity recommendations, setting us up with snorkeling equipment & kayaks, and any other thing we needed. Casita #4 was lovely - clean, well equipped, private, and comfortable in every way. It was nice to have our own deck overlooking the pool & a bar-b-q to use for cooking (on top of the nicely stocked kitchen.) The beach was fantastic with hammocks, lounge chairs, shade, and such a gorgeous view. We thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling for the first time in the clear, warm water with coral reefs accessible (a small one 50' from the shore and lots more out in the bay.) I highly recommend this place and the staff who manage it!

We loved it! Prompt communication with Glynis. Luis was an incredible host. The casita had everything we needed for a self catered 6 night stay. A car is recommended for freedom of moment to the surrounding area as there is only the restaurant at Jashita hotel. This is a secure community and we shared a private part of the beach with the 4 other casitas and the villa on the property. It is a stunning bay and we highly recommend staying here if you would like a quiet and relaxing holiday.

It's a beautiful place (during other parts of the year) and the owners were nice enough to let us reschedule multiple times due to the Covid restrictions. Something's to know before you go... The entire area has a massive seagrass problem. Words do not do this justice and I would highly suggest you between December and March. After that you will be trudging through sometimes feet of dying seagrass from shore to 30 to 40 ft out and stained water. The first unit we stayed up, Casita 4 did not have full windows, had an incredibly hard bed and was inundated with ants. We moved to Casita 2 still had a hard bed, no ants, a non-working microwave and intermittent hot water. The owners did not let us know about the extent of the seagrass issue until after the cancellation deadline. This was also the same for other guests we found out while we were there. We asked to be moved to a different unit, and more expensive one and offered to pay some difference in cost so that we could get a bed that we could sleep on. We were met with suspicion, disbelief and told that they would get back to us the following day. We never heard from them again. At that point, we had to leave because we could not sleep tonight and our backs were incredibly painful. For people in our middle 30s to middle 40s and in great shape. So I can only imagine how others would feel. I understand the seagrass problem has to be incredibly frustrating for owners. I feel that it's only right to be honest and upfront about the severity. I also think that it's fair to have a comfortable bed to sleep on, hot water and a functioning kitchen if that's what you're buying. Solomin Bay is beautiful and we have been there five times now. It's worth renting a place on during the good months. I might pass on this place in the future though. It needs some TLC. The positive side, Luis (the caretaker) is wonderful. He can only do so much though. If you're looking for a low budget place on the bay with the best snorkeling possibly on the Yucatan then I would give this a shot but be prepared for touching it out a bit.
