Upon arrival Tracey greeted us with an ice cold Tecate beer. Not bad for a start! Dan, the owner of the hotel, was in California and was slated to return the following evening. After we finished our beverages, Tracey proceeded to take us to our room. The room was spacious and extremely tastefully decorated. In addition, all appliances were new and worked perfectly. I consider the excellent water pressure in the shower to be a value added bonus. I believe the rooms reflect Dan’s traveling experiences. He took all of the good aspects of the many hotels he has stayed in, and married their features to his aesthetic vision.

The following morning, we awoke to experience a crystal clear pool directly outside our door. The pool seemed to beg for occupants and my wife accommodated. My wife and I are both animal lovers so it was an extra treat to be greeted by the resident dog and cat on the second day of our stay. On occasion, the cat would sleep on its back, which is certainly worth a camera shot. Dan returned that evening with obvious jet lag, but he was a gracious host in regards to informing us of things to do on the island as well as things not to do. This proved to be invaluable information.

Both Tracey and Dan are bilingual which speeds up the process as far as making arrangements for tours, etc. By the way, Tracey operates a parasailing business and the fees are less expensive than in the U.S. My wife could not resist, and claimed that she had an incredible experience. My experience, however, was only a vicarious one.

If you are looking for relaxing and casual accommodations without the pressure of time share B.S. or being told what to eat and when to eat (all inclusive) this is the place for you to be in Cozumel. Everything is a short cab ride away, which ranges from 3 to 5 dollars.

Dan has built his dream, come experience it, you won’t regret it. My many thanks to Dan, Tracey, and Adolfo.

We had a great time on Cozumel, in large part due to the hospitality of Adolfo, Tracy, and Sergio (Dan was away). They helped us book a snorkeling trip and suggested several good restaurants and a relaxing beach. The room had everything we wanted, including strong A/C and a fridge, and was tastefully decorated.

Be aware that the hotel is a couple of miles from most restaurants and the beaches, so you'll probably end up taking taxis a lot if you don't rent a car. The taxis are only $2-3 for most trips, though.

How many great reviews do you have to read before you just book it? Perhaps this one will help you decide. This charming 3 room hotel is spotless clean with all you need (satelite tv, fridge, walk in shower, cold ac, internet connection) The room itself has a very upscale feel mixed with a Mexican flair. We enjoyed the pool and big screen TV in the courtyard. Great place to relax and drink a beer!! Most of all though, the owner Dan is just the best host, trip advisor, island info guy anyone could hope for! Dan assisted us in a car rental, gave us great local places to eat at and just plain old made us feel at home! All we can say is go and check it out you will not be disappointed. Can't wait to go back!!

We decided to take the ferry in the evening to Cozumel, stay the night and rent a car to go around the island for the day. We chose to stay at Casita De Maya because of the great reviews and it was a great choice. Upon arriving we were greeted by Pile the dog, kitty the cat and Tracy, our host. We mentioned renting a car and he immediately ran next store to the car rental agency so we could rent our car before they closed at 7pm. We went out to dinner and shopping in town and returned to the Casita for a late evening swim. We had the entire Casita to ourselves. It was so quiet and romantic with the moon shining over the pool. We loved the cool, refreshing pool which was right outside our room. In the morning we awoke to a pot of coffee and fresh baked goods. It was hard for us to leave for we were so content and relaxed and it felt like home. The room was very clean and decorated with such care and good taste to include lots of beautiful candles, local pottery, a desk, dresser, fridge and tv. Our room felt more like a personnally owned studio than a hotel room. We would highly recommend this hotel.
