Casita de Maya Boutique Hotel Cozumel

I have stayed at Casita De Maya a few times now and will continue to do so. We love it, it feels like a second cozy home. Dan and the team are beyond accommodating and welcoming. Always a great experience with new things to try, which Dan will help you navigate if you would like. The rooms are immaculately clean and comfortable, and Daniele's breakfast is top notch served with the biggest smile. I could not recommend this more!

This is a hidden gem amongst a residential neighborhood within walking distance of the airport. Don't let others tell you differently, it is safe to journey around even the deepest regions of Cozumel. The views of the culture are wonderful to see. Everyone, primarily Chef Daniel and Edwardo, are 2 of the greatest people you will meet at any destination. Chef Daniel is a top notch gourmet cook and will delight you non-stop. He also makes extraordinary drinks and his bloody Mary and margarita will not disappoint. He comes from many years at a large hotel. One thing to keep in mind is there is no kitchen at Casita. Chef Daniel must go to his home to prepare meals. Drinks are prepared on sight. That bothered me to put him out of his way to cook. Running back and forth to his home with meals on a motorcycle. This was the only thing that I could say was other than perfect and keep in mind, it's only a feeling of mine. Again the food was beyond great. The hustle and bustle are a few miles away at the waterfront, where the cruise ships anchor. I like being away from that and being able to visit it with a short 100 peso cab ride whenever you want. If you want crowds all the time of tourists, book your room there. But keep in mind, Casita is the number one or number 2 ranked hotel on the island. One tip, stores at the waterfront charge more while the ships are in port. Wait till after 5 when they pull out to negotiate better prices of bobbles and trinkets. Daniel the manager (not Chef Daniel) can help with daily activities, getting a cab or rental car or anything else you may need. He has several connections. Today as I write this review, we are preparing to go on the 3 hour gourmet pirate dinner cruise on a pirate ship. All the alcohol you want for about $85 per person. I will try to check back in to inform how the cruise was.

Hotel is super cute with pool and wonderful patio. Walking distance from airport and they can help you set up transportation and activities. Owner Dan really looks out for your best interest and Eduardo and his wonderful family takes care of the grounds and basically your every need. Rooms were clean and we were well taken care of. We rented a moped for the week and we’re able to get anywhere on the island easily from this hotel so you will need transportation. They have parking available and really go above and beyond. Food is available to order by Chef Dan as well as many local restaurants not far and of course the main ***** if that’s what you desire (5 minutes drive). This was a wonderful hotel experience where we were taken care of without the hassle of being in the middle of all the tourist area, loud music, and partying. We loved casita de maya. Thank you Dan Thank you Eduardo and family (especially Ele the future boss)
