It can seem overwhelming when trying to choose a place to stay on east coast of Mexico. We could not have been happier with this beautiful property in Mareazul. It looks exactly like the listing photos. It is clean, modern. The lovely patio area is well-furnished. The walk-out pool was cleaned every day. We could hear the surf from this condo in the centre of the complex.The photos don't do justice to the pool area; really one of the nicest I have visited in several tropical locations. As Canadians and seniors, we are used to regulations requiring more handrails and perhaps, some visible underwater markings to delineate the edges of steps and ledges but Mexico is a bit different. The property is very well secured. We were safe and comfortable walking the short way across the grounds to the restaurant for dinners. The food there was good, reasonably priced, the service good and the open air dining room - without loud blaring music, was a pleasure.La Casa Bonita is not the place for travelers who want a party vibe. There are no activities but here is a courtesy desk at the gated entrance where guest can book excursions or rent a car or book the gym and sauna facilities. It is a quick ride into town if one wants to stock up on groceries. The host employed an excellent car service to meet us at the airport. They will take guests around for reasonable rates. Great, responsive host. Terrific on-site concierge.

This is a great suite in a beautiful resort. 100% need a car but it is a great base for all the area attractions. Highly recommended and I would definitely return.The good:- suite is lovely and very well appointed- aircon in all rooms and works very well- wifi works in all rooms and is fast- separate water cooler that takes 20l bottles. Delivers cold and hot water was really useful- 'paddling' pool was nice and you can still float on a lilo on it- smart TV with netflix, Disney etc.- Communication with owner Ahmed was excellent- pool is stunning - much better than pictures. It was always quiet and largely just us in the pool. Amazing for August- restaurant by pool is lovely and open 1.00pm till 9.00pm- bar at end of pool by the beach is excellent for food and drink up to 5.00pm. They deliver to the pool and to the beach.- beach is beautiful and cleaned every morning, so no significant sargassum issues- Parking easy in centre of PDCCould be better:- door entry lock is digital and that is not clear. Combining this with security that believed the room was already occupied made for a rather stressful arrival- Facility manager communication is via WhatsApp. Action may require several reminders. Kettle broke part way through stay and was never dealt with.- Understandable with a private resort but there is no life in the resort at night, so you will have to go elsewhere for entertainment each evening. No problem with a 10 min drive into PDC centre-

Firstly, the pictures on the listing really do reflect what you’re going to see when you arrive. Communication with Ahmed was amazing from start to finish. Typically only a matter of minutes to get a response. The property is very secure. There’s 2 sets of security to pass through, so you know you’re going to be safe. The pool and grounds are just amazing. If you’re looking for a quieter place to stay without music going all day and evening, this is a great choice. You never have to worry about getting a lounger on the beach or poolside as all of the units on this property are owned. It’s not a constant revolving door of partiers coming and abusing the place. Ahmed’s apartment a great size. A huge master bedroom and bathroom with a king sized bed, and a second room that is also quite large with two beds in it. The bathrooms are spotless and high end, as is the rest of the apartment. The furnishings are what you’d find in an upper scale home. And zero sign of wear and tear. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you could need, including high end appliances. We had an issue with the wall oven (circuit board went) and Ahmed had the entire stove replaced in 48 hours. Just above and beyond. Full size bbq and private pool right outside your patio door. Quick 20 second walk right to the biggest pool I’ve ever seen at any resort. The facility has staff cleaning the patio pools as well as the main pool every morning. Highly recommended. Book with confidence.

We really enjoyed our stay.  The unit was great and as presented in the posting. I feel for the price vs other options we considered it was an amazing value. The host is very responsive and helpful with any questions.  Resort is beautiful and right on the beach.  We ate at the main restaurant several times and enjoyed it.  They had fairly low priced large pizzas which was nice as we were feeding 4 kids.  The resort was not very crowded at all which was really nice.  I might worry about pool, beach, and restaurant seating if it ever did get busy because it's a pretty large complex with a lot of buildings but based on lights on in units I'd say only about a third were occupied while we were there. We rented a car while there and location was easy to get in and out of and has a reserved parking spot right outside the unit. I'm sure you could use taxis as well if you wanted.
