Guest Comments

My family and I had a wonderful three weeks staying here. It is a perfect location: very scenic, quiet and very safe. The house is very comfortable and has a large, spacious living area and good sized bedrooms. The large balcony and roof terrace have superb views of the Gulf of Mexico and the large garden which leads directly to the beach. Within a short walk is a beautiful lagoon with flocks of flamingos and pelicans. We also saw stingray. It is one of the best places on the Yucatan to see flamingo.

The service offered i.e. cleaning, maintenance and pool management was of a high standard.

The pool is a very good size and well designed for children. My children spent many hours in the pool and we could watch them very easily from the balcony.
It is a short walk to the sandy beach and the warm shallow waters of the Gulf are ideal for swimming and playing in the sea.

There are many excellent restaurants in the area. We often felt that there was no need to leave the tranquillity of the house but when we did there was more than enough to keep us occupied nearby. The children loved the banana boating at Progresso, the water park between Progresso and Merida, and the world class Go Karting/Sports Centre on the Merida ring road.

In addition we had very enjoyable day trips which we would highly recommend to:

Beautiful colonial towns of Merida, Isamal and Valladolid.

Swim in cenotes

Unesco and world famous Myan ruin sites of Chichen Itza and and Uxmal

local Myan sites- Dzibilchaltun (where there is an excellent museum and cenotes to swim in) and Xtampu (just up the road- free and you often have the place to yourselves so you can feel as if you have gone back in time)

Boat trips at Celestun and San Felipe to see spectacular wild life and fresh water springs out to sea (we were fascinated by the fact that the area is the site of the meteorite that struck earth 65 million years ago and wiped out the dinosaurs, thus causing the springs out to sea as it was the edge of the impact)

Unesco recognised Campeche which is a beautiful and historic town is only 2.5 hours away so we were able to do it as a day trip.

Many beautiful churches and monasteries.

Lunch at one of the of the many elegant hacienda.


Finally, we will always have many happy memories of our time at Ninos del Mar and certainly hope to visit again in the future.
