My mother rented Casa Caracol to take her family (10 of us) on a holiday to celebrate her retirement. The house was WONDERFUL. We all loved it. It is well stocked, the beds are very comfortable, rooms were quite and very every thing was clean. A very short walk to a beautiful beach and less then 10 minutes to 5th Ave. We had the most amazing holiday. Would go back tomorrow. |

I’m pretty sure that heaven is what our week was like in Playa! Casa Caracol was everything we hoped it would be and more! The bedroom/bathroom set up is ideal, the kitchen was so nice and spacious, and the pool was never without someone in it. Adriana (never did see spelling) is a treasure! She truly worked so hard every day. I almost wanted to stop her at times. You can be sure that she is taking great care with your home! You never led us astray with restaurants…we loved Tango Taco and Ajua!! And, we did take out from CH Meats TWICE!! The only bummer was the extreme wind which made doing water sports impossible until our last day but we got it all in that day! Thank you, again, for everything! You were great to work with and we wouldn’t hesitate to go again!! Your friends in Kansas

| My family just returned from a week's stay at Casa Caracol, and I must say that the home was considerably nicer than even the owners' description. The stonework is magnificent, every room is spacious and prestine, and the decor is perfect. It is so well-kept it's as though you're staying in a 5-star hotel. The beach is very close, and the pool is refreshing yet warm enough for the whole family to enjoy. We'd definately stay in this lovely home again! |

Our trip to Playa del Carmen was phenominal due to our stay at Casa Caracol! The house is truly incredible! There were six of us and we had plenty of space in the house to spread out. We loved the pool and the deck with a view of the ocean. We also loved being within walking distance to town as well as being less than a block to the beach! If we have a chance to go back we hope to stay at this house again! It really made the experience better than we could have imagined.

| We had the pleasure of staying at Casa Caracol and it was truly an awesome experience. The house is beautifully layed out for a large family or group, decorated and on one of the most gorgeous and quiet streets I've ever seen. There are Mayan Ruins directly across the street from the house! A few steps from the beach and short walk to town made it the best location we could have stayed at. We will definitely be returning. |

| The trip to the Mayan Riviera was probably the trip of our lives. My wife and I and kids ranging in age from 16 - 27 thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Playa del Carmen and all that we were able to do in eight days. The villa was very comfortable for the eight of us and our two guests. There was plenty of room, the pool was great and the location allowed us to stay out enjoying the clubs until 4AM. We either walked to and from town our on a couple late nights paid $5 for a quick taxi ride back to the villa. We took trips to Cozumel, Tulum, Akumel (swam with turtles), Chicten Itza, and Xelha. One of the highlights was renting scooters for the day on Cozumel and riding around from beach to beach, snorkeling and enjoying the great weather. The private beach just down from the villa is breathtaking,we have never seen waters with so many shades of blue. We thought we were in paradise. The kids were able to swim with the dolphins, sky dive and land directly on our beach, and party at the clubs. It was truly an amazing trip and I would recommend it to any family, group or couple. Hopefully you will get the great weather we experienced and not have to deal with a hurricane. |

What an awesome experience. We loved every minute of it. The house was beautiful and the pool was just as nice.
Only a half a block to the ocean and within walking distance to Fifth St.
We had 6 teenagers and 4 adults. We were all in heaven. I would definitely recommend this house. |

| We just returned from a wonderful week spent at Casa Caracol. Our entire family of 10, including two grandchildren, had an absolutely wonderful time. The house was beautiful and very comfortable with everything we could possibly need. We arranged our transportation from/to the airport through David Gomez (recommended by Curt) and we couldn't have been more pleased with all of their drivers. They were all friendly, professional, reliable and very accommodating....they took us on day trips to Tulum to the Mayan ruins, a wonderful snorkeling trip, and to Swim with the Dolphins...arranging lunch stops, and anything else we needed to do while we were out. We thoroughly enjoyed the house pool (and left some water toys for future visitors), the beach was beautiful with white sand and just a few steps from the house. We felt very safe in the gated community and when we were out with our drivers. We all recommend Casa Caracol and Playa del Carmen to anyone who wants a relaxing, fun and safe family vacation. |

| I can sum up Casa Caracol in one word “WOW”. This was my first trip to Playa and staying in Casa Caracol made ALL the difference in the world. This house had more than enough room for my friends and I to enjoy ourselves. The entire house is absolutely gorgeous but the pool quickly became the main hangout as it was located right outside the kitchen’s wide double doors. This house had all the amenities 4 guys could ask for, private bathrooms, large beds, beautiful views etc. We had the house stocked with food and drinks (well worth the added cost) and Julian was great! Anything we asked for he provided, including a van and driver for our day trip to Chichen Itza (ask for Jorge). The walk to 5th street was only minutes away as well as Senor Frogs and the fairy to Cozumel. This house was definitely worth the trip in itself and I cannot wait to take my family back to Casa Caracol as they will just fall in love with it as well. Thanks to Mr. Henderson for providing such a nice house to stay in Playa and thanks to Julian for providing such great service during our stay. |

| After returning from our week stay at Casa Caracoal we are already planning which week we will return next year! We had our extended family with grandparents and grandchildren and the house could not have worked better for a large group of people. Every bedroom was comfortable with a private bath and tv for privacy. The beach was so close that you could walk back and forth throughout the day. And the walk to town was so easy, we walked for dinner every night. The house was clean and tidy. And we used Julian to go to the grocery and arrange taxi service and this worked perfectly. What a great place to stay. We are already planning to go back soon. We would give it a 10. Jamie Malato |

| It's probably difficult to find 8 people who are compatible enough to spend a week together. But, we have managed to do this for several vacations now. Casa Caracol made it extremely easy. This home is spacious and beautiful. The decor is amazing. You have a choice of being tranquil at home or at the nearby beach, or taking a short walk and becoming part of the scene on 5th Ave. Some of us took daytrips, and some of us chose to catch up on our reading. The beauty of it was that we were all without pressure and responsibility from the "real world" for a week. The house staff met all of our needs. The local people were very friendly and we always felt safe. The restaurants that we chose were excellent. We are all still in withdrawal from leaving this beautiful home. Look no further for heaven on earth, you've found it. |

Casa Caracol is a fabulous home in a nice gated
community. After opening the master drapes for a
sunrise view of the ocean, we enjoyed breakfast by
the pool just outside the dining room. We spent
our days on the nearby secluded beaches, shopping
and lunching in Playa, and day trips to Excaret,
Tulum, and Akumal. We enjoyed ending the day
with cocktails on the upper deck watching the sun
set and the birds in the open space across from the
house. One of my favorite features of the house is
the beautiful marble floors. The bath areas also are
very spacious and clean, And the kitchen is huge!
The daily maid service was a bonus, and the house
manager was always willing to help us out. All in
all, a beautiful home with great amenities, in a
beautiful spot on the Mayan Riveria! |

| A group of friends of mine and I have just returned from a wonderful week in Playa del Carmen made PERFECT by our stay at Casa Caracol. We have been coming to Playa for years, staying in all inclusive resorts up until this year when we decided to "try a house"...well NEVER again will we stay in a resort after our wonderful experience with Curt and his great "at home" staff at the Casa. The place is kept "sparkling clean" both inside and out. The kitchen has EVERYTHING one would need..the bedrooms and beds are comfortable, each with it's own private bath and lots of running HOT water. In fact the entire house is a treat and a pleasure to expeience. CLose to a beautiful beach and to town. We will be back. Thank you Curt |

| My wife and I spent 4 wonderful days at Casa Caracol this past October '06. This house is the perfect vacation destination. The location, furnishings, and amenities found at Casa Caracol are second to none. From the time we arrived we felt comfortable and safe in this beautiful and private home so close to town and literally steps from the beach. Because the home is in a gated neighborhood there is little vehicle or pedestrian traffic and the nearby beach is very private. We were sharing the house with 3 other friend couples. Picking bedrooms was easy since they are all absolutely great and each has its own private bathroom. Our group had a blast and never felt crowded in Casa Caracol. The pool just outside the living space is incredible day or night! You will not be disappointed in choosing Casa Caracol! There will be cold Coronas in the fridge! |

From the minute you walk into Casa Caracol, there
was no doubt we were going to have a fantastic &
luxurious vacation. The house is beautiful from top
to bottom. Great bedrooms ( and mattresses)
gourmet kitchen, lovely dining room etc. The pool
area was where we spent much of our time
alternating with a mere few steps to a private
beach. The best of both worlds! The house is very
close to town, although you would never know it by
how serene the house is. It's just the ideal location.
And above all, I found Curt fantastic to deal with.
He made it very easy to book the house, show up,
have fun and relax. |

| The house is awesome and the location is perfect! We really enjoyed the large bedrooms all with their own private baths. We loved having the fully furnished Kitchen including all new appliances. The furniture and decor are perfect for the house and we felt right at home. We spent plenty of time in the swimming pool and the private beach was just a few steps away too! The housekeeper and caretaker were very friendly and took good care of us. We are DEFINITELY coming back for another visit soon! Overall, this is simply a GREAT place to stay! |
