Custom designed by the owner to combine the best features of island living with the comfort and luxury to which you are accustomed, El Castillo Maya has two beautiful palapa areas for your relaxation and enjoyment. The “Tortuga Palapa” on the second level just outside of the Tortuga Suite to the open terrace where there is a private entrance to the Master Suite. Up another level above the Master Bedroom Suite is “The Blue Moon Palapa”, a large rooftop terrace, partially shaded.
Island-themed tile and stone handwork can be seen throughout on the floors of the palapas and in and around the house. Carved rails adorning the exterior staircases and the interior stairs and carved handrails are fashioned of salam, a local exotic hardwood noted for its durability and dark burnished beauty. Glass blocks are strategically placed in walls to welcome sunlight, and in the master suite to showcase a collection of seashells. Local art is displayed on the walls and throughout the house.
The house was designed for maximum versatility. The ground-level oceanfront two bedroom unit has a large living room opening onto the pool deck and ocean beyond through sliding glass doors. A fully equipped kitchen and dining room are adjacent. The beautiful staircase leads up to the second floor Master Suite, which can be rented separately by locking the door at the top of the staircase and entering through a private exterior entry, or used as the master bedroom of a three bedroom house. The Master Suite has a King bed, a Jacuzzi tub with panoramic ocean view, a kitchenette area, with sink, fridge and coffee maker.
The additional separate Luxury Studio, with full kitchen, full bathroom with shower, queen bed, and couch can be a private and complete fourth bedroom, or can be rented separately. The entire villa is attractively and comfortably furnished to make your stay even more enjoyable.
Above the Luxury Studio, you will find the newly built Tortuga Suite. It features a king size bed, kitchenette, sunlit shower room, large screen TV and a private terrace overlooking the ocean. Like the Studio, it can be added to complete the 5 bedroom house or is available separately, depending on the season.
El Castillo Maya sits side-by-side with Casa Azul del Caribe, another new house with four bedrooms. Owned separately, they share a lovely patio and swimming pool with swim up bar. They can be combined to sleep 16-20 people, making this a perfect place to host a family reunion or a wedding. The entire complex is nicely landscaped and has plenty of off-street parking for golf-carts and other vehicles. What a great place to enjoy your island vacation!

Stayed here for my 30th birthday party and we enjoyed the home very much! Great location and a FANTASTIC view. We had 11 people stay and we had plenty of space. There were blow-up mattresses there we set up in the living room for those who didn't want to share beds. The pool is perfect and the outdoor areas are very cool. Everyone who helps with the home helped us out while we stayed and they were awesome. Would definitely stay again!

This property is great for couples who want some privacy. We rented all five bedrooms. The location was great. You could walk to restaurants, bars,convenience, store, and to the marina. There is really no beach out front, it is pretty rocky but we did manage to go snorkeling at a reef right in front of the house. Our only complaint was that the queen beds did not seem like they were queens - they felt more like double beds. Also, there were three barking dogs that we heard every day across the street along with gas powered scooters and golf carts. The hosts was quick to reply and the cleaning lady came mid week to clean up.

We chose this property because we have a large family. There were 9 adults and 5 kids. The design of the house is interesting and suited us all quite well. Would I stay here again? Probably not. The check in process was frustrating. We got keys from a lock box which is fine but we arrived to a completely dark and sweltering house. They knew we were coming but didn't so much as leave a fan or a light on. We couldn't find one of the bedrooms. When we did, the door was locked of course because they are accessible from the outside. We finally found keys in a basket on the kitchen table which would have been nice to know about. We spent far too long trying to find the rooms, keys, cool down the house, etc. No one there to greet us and feel welcome. The shower heads could use updating or cleaning as they are covered in calcium buildup. The master bath with the jet tub went unused because the water came out so slow it took 30 min to get 2 inches of water in there. A waste. The view was spectacular, the location was perfect., the pool was used a lot by the kids and they loved it. One or two umbrellas on the deck would have been nice as there was a lot of sun coverage. The grocery store was very close which was great because we cooked a lot. The available kitchenware was adequate but we could not get the oven to work. Stove worked fine. The housekeeper, Irma, was lovely. She stopped by the day after we arrived and introduced herself. She cleaned once while we were there but it would have been nice to have 2 cleanings. The property manager, Drew, was on vacation so Alfredo stopped by the day after we arrived and checked on us. Our TV was not working which was a very big deal to the sports fans (Soccer finals). The TV and a fan we could not get to work were fixed on Monday. The Wifi was spotty. Sometimes it was off but then came back. Beds were very nice. The people staying in the two downstairs Q bed rooms were getting bug bites. My bro-in law who is in pest control identified bed bugs. We alerted the management who said there are no bed bugs in Mexico. While that may be true something got them in bed every night and they killed a few of them. I trust they will look at it and take action if necessary. We had no security issues and kept our doors locked everywhere. The safes didn't work but we didn't have any thefts. I felt safe here and loved all the places within walking distance. A golf cart is a must though! All in all it was a decent place to stay.
