We spent a week at Villa Zazil from the 17th to the 24th of January, 2018. The property looked exactly like the pictures on the website..in fact the property is even more beautiful. It is a spacious property with many areas to sit and relax. Literally steps to the ocean where the beach is "au naturel". We spent many hours just enjoying the sound of the waves and the stars at night. An extra bonus was Bella Mar...a small, family run restaurant 2 houses down the beach from us! Fresh fish and chicken marinated in sour orange...very yummy and Bella is awesome! This is a very quiet, secluded location so not for everyone but if you want to relax and totally decompress...this is the place. It is close to Telchac that has lots of services but you really need to get groceries etc. in Merida which is about 45 minutes south. If we went back we would rent a car to make things a bit easier...however the tricolo (scooter taxi) was a good service! The interior of the house was also very nice... we loved the many types of tile patterns. The master ensuite is very spacious and private. The one negative is that the kitchen was in need of a "deep clean" and updated utensils for cooking. As the house is by the ocean many of the utensils and the sink are quite rusty and could be replaced. We had a hot water issue on the main floor that was quickly rectified. Everyone we dealt with in Xama's family were friendly and accessible. The onsite Tuck shop was very helpful for water and beer purchases. The onsite laundry was also very conveniently located. In closing, we would have no hesitation returning to Villa Zazil as we really enjoyed the property, the area and the million dollar view.

Nous avons séjourné en famille durant 11 jours pendant la période des fêtes. Les photos sont très parlantes. Le cadre est réellement idylique ! La plage est à 20 mètres et on a la sensation d'être seuls au monde avec pour seule compagnie les pélicans. C'est fantastique ! Idéal pour les personnes en recherche de farniente car la contre partie est qu'il n'y a pas grand chose à faire aux alentours. Prévoir un bon livre !

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Zazil! It's a quiet, peaceful and serene location with beautiful views. We swam in the Gulf and pool everyday and loved just relaxing on the deck while watching the pelicans fly by. Thank you so much for sharing your very special home with us! We hope to return year after year!

My husband and I love to travel with our 4 and 6 year old, and try to take a big trip every year. (We are from the US, South Carolina) we have vowed never to go to the same place twice because there is a big world out there. Well, when we left Telchac, more specifically Villa Zazil, we left part of our hearts there! We will be back! The house is gorgeous architecturally and with its view and being steps from the ocean. (Which is very calm and shallow for yards and yards- perfect for the kids!) The family that owns this house are warm and accommodating and we feel we have made life long friends. They treated my kids like their own, and my children have already made letters for Buly and Xama since being home. We had never heard of Telchac before this trip, but feel like we hit the destination jackpot. It was everything we wanted. Safe, laid-back, many thing within close proximity to see and do, but also lots of laid-back pool and beach time. My husband also enjoyed taking a fishing charter and caught a ton of fish by hand fishing, which Buly and Xama cooked for us- best fish tacos I’ve ever had! Go to this place- you will not regret it!

Recently my wife and I returned for our second visit to Villa Zazil, this time for five weeks. It's difficult to think that someone could have improved on something as beautiful as this home since our last stay one year ago, but this family did, and then some. While I could never say enough about this amazing house, what makes it irresistible to us is the people that own it. Now three generations strong, they are a kind loving family and you cannot stay here without feeling the sense of caring they have for one another, their guests, and their friends. It truly places you in a frame of mind that mere words cannot describe. Suffice it to say that we have already reserved the same time frame for next year and will continue to return as long as they will have us! This year we ventured out to a few more of the restaurants in Telchac Pureto and have yet to have a meal that we could criticise the service only outdone by the freshness if the food and the price leaves you thinking why cook!. We also visited a few cenotes and the ruins at Uxmal which I highly recommend over Chichen Itza, they are just as large, 1/4 the crowds, 1/2 the price, and you can still climb the stairs to the top of a pyramid. To Xama and your family, thank you again for letting us stay in your home, see you next year! Sincerely, Nat and Pat

We loved our stay at Villa Zazil! It is a lovely home right on the beach with a pool and beach volleyball net. The house is comfortable with all of the necessities for your stay. The master suite is especially nice with its palm frond roof. Xama was a pleasure to work with a was always quick with her communication if we were in need of anything. Telchac Puerto is a small town that is conveniently located for exploring nearby Cenotes, Mayan Ruins, and Laguna Rosada. If you are looking for a quiet place to stay with family or a group of friends where you can lounge at home or explore the Yucatan, I would definitely recommend staying here.

Cool house. Great outdoor spaces. Pool is awesome. Master suite is amazing. Xama was prompt with all of her responses.

Some might find Villa Zazil too quiet, for us was a perfect location. Within an our of a city with everything you need, yet far enough that you are isolated. Incredible beaches that you can quite literally see for miles and at the same time not see another sole. The solitude and tranquility for us was exactly what we sought, and were richly rewarded. Everything save a couple of small appliances (a toaster and coffee maker) is exactly what is represented on the property description, and I must say that these were delivered within hours of our requesting them which lead me to believe they were w simple oversight. Xama Junior, Xama Senior, Bullie, Cecil, and of course Saul were the most accommodation and friendly hosts we have ever had the good fortune of renting from. On a minute's notice someone was there to deal with any issue we had, and truthfully what we encountered as issues were few and minor, and as I said rectified immediately. Two doors down directly on the beach is the Bella Mar restaurant, owned and operated by a wonderful couple, the food was outstanding, the service was as though you were in a friend's home. There are ruins within 1/2 hour's drive, definitely worth taking in. We went in the middle of the day and for three hours we had the entire site to ourselves. Overall I would have to say that this area as a whole is the most well kept secret in Mexico, and fear that if it receives too many reviews like this we will find ourselves in another Tulum, once a quiet romantic place to go and now the streets are now so packed it is difficult to walk them. I hope Telchac remains the way it is for years to come, a sleepy village! We enjoyed the property so much in fact we are already planning to return next year, so that if that isn't the best recommendation I can give I don't know what is. Xama, thank you for sharing your home with us, we look forward to seeing you and your family again next year. Pat and Nat Mulrooney Perth, ON, CAN
