I stayed at the Casita de Maya during a ten-day "working vacation" in Cozumel.
I'm a writer-photographer, and I specialize in SCUBA travel. This is what I looked for -- and got -- when I booked at the Casita de Maya: I wanted to stay in a quiet Cozumel hotel where I could retreat after each days' work to write and process my digital photos on my laptop. I wanted a broadband internet connection in my room so I could keep in continuous touch with my family, my business contacts on Cozumel and my business back home via VOIP phone, voicemail, email, and instant and text messaging. I wanted a location that was away from the hustle and bustle of the noisy cruise ship crowds. I needed instant access to my rental car with no parking hassles. I had to be able to jump in the car and go. I needed a host who was sensitive to my need to get business done, but also sensitive to the vacation part of my "working vacation." I needed a host who knew when to pay attention to me, and when to leave me alone.
Casita de Maya exceeded all my expectations. The owner, Dan, was a gracious and helpful host. He put a desk, chair and lamp in my room so I could work comfortably. He pointed out a cafe around the corner where I could get great and inexpensive meals in a hurry at odd hours -- even at six in the morning. Dan was friendly yet discreet. He knew when to be there, and when to disappear. When I had a problem or challenge with my work, Dan was Johnny-on-the-spot with appropriate suggestions. So was co-owner Mike. They make a great team.
The small pool in the courtyard was a nice touch. After a day's work broiling in the sun, grab an ice-cold one from the mini fridge in your room, take ten steps to the pool, hop in, cool off and REE-lax.
Life was good at the Casita de Maya. Whether you're in Cozumel for work or play -- or a little of both -- Casita de Maya is a great little place to call home.
