Fly directly to Cozumel airport and you will be escorted 18 km south of San Miguel on the coastal highway. As you pass the gated entry, watch for iguanas basking in the sun or a glimpse of a wild animal darting into the jungle. You'll pass 15 acres of pristine forest surrounding the property which is in a protected ecological zone. Since we are located on the world Palancar Beach, the reef and waters on our beachfront are in a National Marine Park. We are proud to support eco-tourism by preventing overdevelopment and exploitation of natural resources.

The moment you see this majestic 2-story columned home combining Neo-Classic Spanish and Mexican Caribbean architecture, you will realize you arrived in a tropical paradise. Atop the entry stairs, you'll find yourself in an inner courtyard with a lush garden and an elegant fountain. The sound of water splashing resonates throughout the courtyard and sets the mood for a relaxing vacation. Through the French doors is the main living area with airy, spacious 24 ft. ceilings complimented by marble tile floors. The stunning views through the numerous arched mahogany windows will instantly indulge your senses.

Enjoy your welcome tropical refreshment in the cool air-conditioning and relax on the Mexican rattan furniture which was custom crafted to be elegant yet comfortable. Throughout the house is Mayan and local Mexican art which accents the tropical native style. As you ascend the grand staircase, you'll appreciate the artistry of the locally handcrafted ironwork in the railings and chandeliers that were custom designed to look like jungle vines and serpents. Looking down from the balcony you'll marvel at the fact that the staircase is suspended in mid air.

Dinner is served in the formal dining room which seats 12 people. The French doors lead to a wraparound terrace with panaramic views of the tranquil blue waters of the Caribbean Sea and surrounding jungle. Ceiling fans and outdoor tables allow guests the option to dine outside and enjoy the natural sea breezes on tropical afternoons or evenings. Continental breakfast and lunch are included with weekly rental and chef service can be specially requested for formal dinners and special parties.

With the nature enthusiast in mind, we decorated each room with themes such as jaguars, turtles, iguanas, frogs and fish. Balconies in every room allow for scenic views of the ocean and jungle. A/C, TV, telephone, bathroom and maid service are standard conveniences in every room as well as a choice of either king or twin beds.

With all the activities on the island, you'll wonder if you will ever have time to watch the satellite TV or DVD movies. Bose speakers in the entertainment room, courtyard, terraces, and pool area give you plenty of opportunity to listen to your favorite music.

Swim in the pool, get a tan, nap in a hammock, or sip margaritas under the palapa. Divers and snorkelers can take advantage of our outdoor shower/bathroom, rinse tank, and equipment storage area. At dusk, watch breathtaking sunsets or stroll on our deserted sandy beach.
