Clyde,
Thanks again for sharing your beautiful Isla home with us. Another perfect trip!
For anyone considering staying at Ixchel 409/410, two words: DO IT! You will have no regrets!
This beautiful condo, and its amazing 4th floor, wrap around balcony is second-to-none! Location is perfect, right on Isla’s beautiful Playa Norte and everything you need is within walking distance - including great food and drinks.
Ixchel staff – from the front desk to the beach waiters - are wonderful and accommodating. And, be sure to reserve a golf cart and venture out for a day to see the whole Island.
Some of our favorite spots: Punta Sur (pay the few bucks and walk all the way out and climb down for the most amazing views), the turtle farm, lunch at Casa Os and Rolandi’s; drinks at Villa La Bella B&B and Las Brisas. And perhaps our most favorite is visiting Maggie and Greg at La Gloria English School to drop off school supplies for the local children.
We’re already booked for October and I hope to be back again next February!

| This is long overdue. We stayed at Ixchel 11/29-12/6 and it was absolutely PERFECT! Clyde, you were a pleasure to deal with from the very beginning and be assured we will contact you as soon as we can return to Isla (hoping sooner rather than later!). Clyde's unit was unavailable but he made arrangements for us in two units directly below (307/308 and 309/310) which were ideal for our group of 10. The beach is being rebuilt (a little murky there due to the process but not a problem) and the location is ideal to everything you need on Isla. Thank you Clyde for your awesome help and we will be happy to refer any friends on to you if they want to see the paradise that is Isla. |

Clyde -
It is with pleasure I send this email so anyone else looking to rent with you can read. First of all, I would like to say that from our first conversation you have been more than patient and kind. Even though you were not able to place me in your unit for the dates I needed, you did everything within your power to find us the best possible unit to rent. (This is even after we had an issue renting a unit thru Hotels/com)You are a true professional. You followed up with me, advised me I was going to have a reservation issue when I arrived, emailed the property directly and then booked me in a unit much better (and cheaper) than the one I booked directly thru Hotels/com. We have not even made our trip to Isla yet, but knowing exactly what is in store for us when we arrive sure does make it even more exciting! Thank you again for your outstanding customer service - it is a rare treat! Anyone thinking about booking with you should be greatful to have you on their side! Thanks again!

| We arrived at 12:30 am and check in took about 2 minuites. The place was spot less clean and very well decorated and the view fron the wrap around balcony was fantastic. The balcony had 14 chairs on it with plenty of room left over. Our stay was perfect without one single problem. Thanks again Clyde. |

Dear Clyde,
We had a wonderful time in Isla!! Your condo is just perfect. I stayed in the king suite and felt like I was VERY important. I loved the lights on the palm tree, all the decorations, the huge bathroom, all the drawers and the pretty bed. And of course the view from that room is unbelievable! The balcony is fabulous – I am so glad we stayed in your oceanfront unit. I cannot wait to go back. We were feeling totally spoiled with each of us having our own bedroom and bathroom. And everyone at Ixchel was very friendly and helpful.
We rented a golf cart on two days and explored the island. I had this great map of Isla with all the places to see, and so we saw a lot! We went to Garrafon de Castilla for snorkeling, Punta Sur, Playas Indios and Lancheros, Conch Shell Beach, the Conch Shell House, the cemetery, and the Super Express grocery store – and they were all an adventure! I had fresh squeezed oj from the market, we ate at Pizza Rolandi’s, Villa Rolandi, Casa O’s, Zamas Beach Club, Sunset Grill, and Buho’s. We also got up early every morning and took walks around town and saw something new there every day. I think I have fallen in love with Isla. Thanks so much for all your help on making our trip a perfect one!!!

What can I say? The condo is perfection, the view, the wrap around balcony, completely equipped and beautifully decorated.
We snorkeled with Lorenzo. We had dinner every night in town - as a family this was a highlight - where can you get such perfect atmosphere and service? We never tired of the food or choosing new restaurants. The beach, the pool - met lots of friendly folks at the pool - all so much fun, so interesting. We were pretty laid back and really needed a few more days to plan a few more sight seeing events - 10 days would have been great! It was just hard to pull ourselves away from the beach. Weather was perfect!!!
Thank you so much! We will be back!

Clyde,
I stayed in your 409/410 condo with six other women - all relatives, and I can't say enough about the place. We've stayed in many different places on the island and this by far was the best - even better than Secreto and Rolandi's. Mainly for the location. However, the staff, accomodations, pool, Pablo at the snack bar, and everyone in the complex who helped us make our vacation enjoyable - THANK YOU!! I especially enjoyed working with you Clyde since you were so accomodating and easy to work with.
Thanks again - we will return!! |

| Spent 3 glorious nights in this beautiful condo. Everything about it was perfect! - the location (beachfront on Playa norte), the interior, simply gorgeous, the wrap around balcony (hosted a few sunset happy hours) and the staff at the condo were always helpful & nice. Our only complaint was that we couldn't stay longer. Loved it! Noreen |

| Clyde, Thanks for a great week in your unit 409/410! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving on Isla. Our family couldn't have been any happier with the place. We did a little snooping on some of the other units in the building, and nothing we looked at compared to how nicely you've decorated...it just felt like a home away from home! We'll be sure to return....thanks again! |

Hi Clyde,
just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay on Isla. We loved every minute, and did all there was to do, I think, including a day trip to Chichen Itza with William the driver. Ixchel, is a most beautiful spot. I met the family who rented your unit, and it is certainly beautiful. It will be our first choice for a rental next time! I also wanted to commend the owners/management on the wonderful staff they have in place. The front desk and conceirge were always so welcoming, friendly and kind. It added alot to our feeling of 'coming home' each evening. In fact our experience with everyone on the island was so very positive.
So thanks, again for your assistance in helping make our holiday so special.
best,
Nanci Burrows

Clyde,
Well…what can I say other than spectacular!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We had such a great time, met so many great residents, including Auggie-Michelle, Brent-Day, so many others I can’t remember their names.
The staff at Ixchel are outstanding!!!
Your units were so over the top and enjoyable.
As the Congressman for California (Arnie) would say…”we’ll be back”.
Thank you so very much for your hospitality and recommendations !!!
Thanks for a most relaxing and pleasurable stay.

What a fabulous place. We so enjoyed your little piece of paradise. We
did
it all -- go, go, go. We met several great folks, including your 'other'
guests The Pink Family from MN, while there. The staff was very very
helpful. Thanks too for being so responsive to our many pre-trip
questions,
you get A+ marks for your service. I did get to see several other units
at
Ixchel and, as you likely know, yours not only has the superior view but
is
furnished the best of any we examined. In short, we will be back. |

Hi Clyde,
Just a quick note of thanks for the wonderful condo you have! We really had a wonderful time and the view is absolutely amazing. The only downside for us was the 19 yr old's we brought with us! (they flew down with me to sail the boat back with my husband) They loved the "tequila" a bit too much! My husband and I would like to be able to rent your unit again next year as well if it is available. Our 25th wedding anniversary is the first week in May next year and we would love to "get married again" right there on the beach by the condo. We couldn't think of a lovelier spot to renew our vows. I will have to check the calandar for the exact dates and get back to you. You definitely have a piece of paradise all your own.
