We went to Puerto Morelos in December and it was one of the best
vacations we have ever had as a family. We were 5 adults and 3
children, (ages 4,5, & 8). We had plenty of space. My husband and I
had the one of the king bedrooms (with a bathroom across from it) on
the main floor, our two children shared the other king bedroom on the
main floor (with an ensuite). Our friends had the upstairs bedrooms
which both had ensuite bathrooms so everyone had their own private
bathroom. The veranda on the top floor provided and unobstructed view
of the beach. We had breakfast there every morning and watched the
beach. What a wonderful way to start the day.
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you can imagine (yes, a
dishwasher). The only thing we brought was our stove top espresso
machine and food. Travelling with kids we have found it is always
better to have things you know they will eat. We all sat together for
each meal. I think you will have space. The local restaurants were
great also. We loved all of them. In the evenings alot of the
children would gather in the town square and play soccer or simply
play in the playground.
There was no road noise. The town basically shuts down around 10:00pm
and before that there isn't much going on. Perfect for families with
small children.
We loved the fact that we had our own private accommodation with a
pool. No sharing with anyone. The kids would get up each day and go
swimming (as soon as I could get some cheerios in them) for hours it
seemed. We also went swimming after dinner on some evenings!! I highly
recommend that you take life vests for the kids. We felt better
knowing that if for any reason they slipped into the pool, they were
safe. Jimmy, the caretaker, came every day to see that the pool was
running smoothly. He was also a great resource and very friendly.
We loved the town and have recommended Casa Mermaid to all of our
friends!!! It isn't a luxurious hotel, but more of a family home.
There was even videos for the kids to watch, which surprisingly did
come in handy. They loved the Little Rascals!!! If your looking for a
more quiet off the beaten path sort of vacation then this is the place
for you. There were plenty of towels which was great. Jeannie even let
us use her computer to check email etc. We used is everyday. It came
in very handy when we wanted to do research for day trips. There were
alot of travel books in the living room as well magazines and
children's books upstairs.
If you are thinking about renting a vehicle do so online before you
arrive and do your pick up at the airport. We rented a car after the
fact to go to Tulum and it cost us 3 times as much!!! Oh well live and
learn. It is very easy to get from the airport to Casa Mermaid.

Jeannie,
We're packing up this morning, sad to go. We've had the most marvelous week here, and enjoyed being all together in your house. No catastrophes happened! The grandkids LOVED the pool. Even after a full day of swimming in the ocean they would race home and jump in the pool and stay there til we dragged them out!
Our daughters and their spouses planned a magical anniversary dinner out on the pier at the resort up the beach, Ceiba del Mar. I'll have send you some photos we took of that evening and of your house lit up at night.
Anyway, we've had so much fun, and everyone who helped us along the way was friendly, friendly friendly. A very good vacation. I hope we will go again in the not so distant future. We had such an amazingly good time.

Hi Jeannie,
Well, we are now missing Mexico. We had a great time. I'll mail the keys back to you this week.
This was our third stay we enjoyed the extra days you gave us. I would say that Maria is missed.
So, like I said, we enjoyed ourselves a ton! Jim was able to clean the pool for us and we had a great time. It's such a fun little town. It will be interesting to see what follows the Oxxo in development.
Take Care-
Liz

Dear Jeannie
We had a great time and loved your place. It had everything we needed.
We really liked Rolando, he is a sweet guy, and of course the resident
iguana's, though not as sweet as Rolando.
I would like to add that the beds were the most comfortable beds I have
ever slept on in Mexico.
If we can get a group together again for next year we will contact you.
Thanks,
Tana McPhee
