My girlfriend and i stayed here for 3 nights in March and had a wicked time. Dan is a great host, met us at the gate, knew our names, took us to a local restaurant etc etc.

The hotel is small and boutique(3 rooms) but has a little pool for you to use, breakfast was really nice and and the rooms are fantastic. We really enjoyed the 'moroccan style' rooms and all the mod cons at a decent price.

Cozomel itself is ok, the place is busy with tourists and as we were travelling across mexico and south to belize the crowd of people were not the sort we were after and tended to be american tourists on cruise ships.

Tips: Book with Dan, get the recommendations from Dan on the local food.

The Casita De Maya was very accurately described from previous reviews I had read. The hotel had a great laid back, airy vibe. Dan was so very helpful with his plethora of recommendations. I especially appreciated his attempts to keep us away from places that were too 'touristy'.

The hotel was very clean. The shower had great water pressure. The AC was good. The pool was a nice reprieve from the busier 'cruise ship' days. Overall, I felt like we stayed at a friend's house and not some cheesey, people piled on top of one another, we like to trap you in our clutches resort!

Helpful hint: 1) if you have enough people (roughly 6) you would have the whole place to yourself...that is awsome! We had a few days were it was just my group there and it made for a home away from home. Luckily ,even when there were 2 other guests present it was still very tranquil. 2) Not the place for kids!!!!!!!

The best decision my group of 4 made while in Cozumel was to rent a jeep and explore the island. Dan helped facilitate the rental.

stayed Feb 26th -Mar 6th. We had a great time at Casita De Maya. Dan is the "Man" . He is the hotel host and we were in good hands. He told us where to visit and what spots gave us the best deals. He is very patient, and for a couple like us that knew little Spanish, he made sure that we were well taken care of and NOT taken advantage of. He called taxis and booked excursions for us. Very personal and friendly. The location of Casita de Maya is very convenient. It is only $2 cab ride away from the square and a walking distance to the airport. But yet we never heard the planes .We enjoyed our stay and rate our overall experience as excellent!!!

My husband and I stayed here from 01/26/07-02/01/07. What can I say - after spending all day traveling to get Cozumel, it was such a joy to make it to Casita de Maya where we could finally relax. And be greeted with ice cold Sols from our stocked refrigerator, courtesy of Dan, who is the proprietor!

We had a fabulous week's stay! The rooms are beautiful, the shower was great, the bed was extremely comfortable. You can tell Dan put a lot of thought and work into the design of the hotel and the comfort of his guests. The rooms were cleaned every day and spotless.

We dove the entire week and Dan always made sure we had coffee and a taxi to the dive boat in the morning. He even put together a lunch for us a couple of those days that really hit the spot!

Dan's suggestions for the restaurants in the area were right on and we highly recommend his suggestions, especially the ones that are close to hotel. They were authentic Cozumel cuisine and we liked one so much we went twice! I wish I could recall the name of them, but don't worry, Dan will know!

We enjoyed kicking back and relaxing with Dan and Tracey over beers at night. As we left, we really felt that we were leaving good friends because of the hospitality and friendliness that we had been shown. That includes our furry friends Trixi, Herman and Kitty!

Oh, by the way, do not be concerned with the proximity of the airport. It is not an issue. We did not even see or hear any airplanes.

Dan is a fantastic host and you'll be well taken care of during your stay at Casita de Maya.
