Casa de los Suenos

Complete rip-off, with Noise & Construction

by janicii about Casa De Los Suenos Resort And S

We arrived at this beautiful location only to be immediately confronted with a giant construction project to the left. 14 workers with chain saws, concrete saws, and skill saws, constantly destroying the mood. All starting at 7:30-8 am. Ranchero music playing on the boom boxes competed with the subtle Enya music playing throughout the hotel speakers at the pool.
We tried to endure for two days, with increasing frustration...especially at the $350 price tag being charged.

We finally decided we needed to get out of there and the staff
was not helpful in either negotiating a solution or helping us find a new place to stay.

This was a trip we had planned and looked forward to for 6 months.
The disappointment is still with us. Obviously, we would not recommend this hotel until they have some fair advertising or close down during the construction. All that is memorable, after a ruined stay, is the noise, construction, and the feeling of being entirely ripped off.

The best hotel we've ever stayed in

by robandjame about Casa De Los Suenos Resort And S

This place is AMAZING! We stumbled across this hotel by accident in our golf cart, and let me tell you, we didn't want to leave. We were lucky enough to get a room as there are only eight rooms I think, each one unique. All look over the crystal clear water, the pool, and the dock way down below. The hotel is up on a hill across the street from the water. Roberto is your host, (he runs it with his sister, who we didn't meet). And you can have a cocktail with him every night watching the sunset. There is snorkling, kayaking, and above all...tranquility! This place should be called a wellness resort rather than a hotel. And yes, there is a spa on the grounds. There is a wonderful restaurant on the water that is part of the hotel, it blends asain and mexican foods, and is great! Everyone there is very friendly and the other guests we met had been coming there for years, from around the globe. Definitely check this place out.

Great little island in Mexico

by robandjame

"Isla Mujeres"

This is a little island off the coast of the hustling and bustling Cancun. Definitely way way laid back (rent a golf cart upon arrival), and if you can stay at Casa de los Suenos, it is well worth the trip from anywhere in the world. There is a downtown/market area for all your tourist needs, but once you go south, prepare for a secluded, romantic trip. We planned on spending a day there after an exausting trip to Cancun, and ended up changing our flight and staying for four more days, just because of our hotel.

"Food"

The food is exactly what you want, tacos, salsa, ceviche, etc.

Great sandwiches

by dek516 about Bagui-Valitas

If you're looking for a sandwich to take as a snack or lunch to the beach, check out Bagui-Valitas. You can get ham or chicken sandwiches on a baguette with cheese and mayo, all toasted to perfection. Lettuce, tomatoes and avacados are also available, although given that this was a little fast-foodish type place, we avoided vegetables in fear of getting sick. Sandwiches are made in about 5 minutes and packed up to go. Prices are in the 19 to 25 pesos range, a good deal. This place also seems popular with locals, which I always take as a good sign. I liked the ham and cheese sandwich so much I got it 3 times while staying on the island! Jamon y queso americano.

Punta Sur

by rafgys

The south point is the southernmost point in Mexico! It’s an area with great cliffs, and very wavy waters… that’s where the surfers gather.

You’ll also have some sort of Mayan ruins, where you need to pay in order to get in… but from what I saw, the ruins are very small and not worth it.

There’s also a restaurant at the top of a cliff, where the view is breath-taking.
