These waters are part of the National Marine Park, and are also a protected area. The villa Casa Gordon is an eighteen thousand square foot mansion of Neo-Classic and Mexican Caribbean architecture boasting modern conveniences mixed with classic beauty. The estate is secluded, with a walled and electronically gated entry from the highway, but close enough to beach clubs, stores, and the village of El Cedral to prevent any feelings of isolation. The house is staffed by an experienced group of professionals, including a multilingual manager. All living areas are air-conditioned. The chef operates from an enormous and lavishly equipped kitchen. Guest comments generally focus on the magnificent villa, the beautiful location, and, especially, the great treatment they received from the staff.

Everything from check in to check out was amazing. We were taken care of from the moment we stepped on the property. First time staying in a house that was not a resort and it was great. Amazing and beautiful secluded location. Staff took care of everything we needed. Looking forward to boing again in the future.

As good as it looks in the photos. Food and food staff excellent. Pool spectacular, downstairs rooms all great. Private, perfect for our 11 family (adult) group.No simple amenities (soap, shampoo etc) should be easy to provide. General manager was not proactive and pretty invisible.Needs a little TLC in places (railing to beach access rotted).All in all this was a very good stay and delivered vs expectations.

We had the best time. Both families agreed this was one of the best vacations either had ever had!! The food was amazing, views, weather, service. All of it! We saw dolphins in the morning with coffee. Rescued a lobster from fishing string, saw sting rays and a sea turtle snorkeling. Deep sea fishing, massages on the balcony, the list goes on and all wonderful. Life long memories were made. We hope to return. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us.

I don't even know where to begin to express our thrill from our stay at Casa Gordon. I suppose I should start with the staff. From the moment we arrived we bonded with them, especially Chef Luis and Martin who cut no single corner on serving our needs. The food too was not only amazing but so clean and healthy which was exactly what we wanted for our healthy active lifestyle. The grounds are immaculately manicured, and the house was perfect in every way. The beach is huge and sandy with a volleyball net which provided much entertainment. The rooms are clean and well furnished with furnishings in good working order. My personal preference would be for more luxurious beddings than was offered but they were definitely adequate. The house and grounds are so private at the end of the island down a private drive. We were there with our adult children and our 8 year old daughter (9 of us total) and we really enjoyed the gathering spaces as well as opportunity for our own privacy with the layout of the house. The house manager Chris can set up any excursion you want from snorkel trips to scuba or parasailing and even private transfer back to the airport. I think the biggest compliment I can offer is, "would I stay elsewhere?" No way..... I might find an equally beautiful home but could never find another home with equivalent amenities AND a staff as amazing as Casa Gordon's. This vacation rental does not disappoint.
