Casa Kayab

Location, hosts, private

Right on the beach, we saw huge turtles nesting in the evening which was incredible to experience. Friendly host, very clean, filtered water available, good kitchen. We had a small rental car and had no problems getting there. We were in seaweed season and it was on the beach but didn't smell.

It was quite hot in the room at night, a fan would have been nice.

The location is great and super calm on the beach. Accommodation is basic but clean and we had all we needed. To the Puerto Morelos its like 7 minutes by car.

The view from the property is absolutely exceptional. The people were nice and invited us to dinner. We had already eaten so politely declined but appreciated the offer. It’s so picturesque there.

There was no hot water (hot water wasn’t required as the external temp was so high so we didn’t enquire about it). There is no air con. Aircon in this environment is an absolute must. We got no sleep all night. We had to request a fan and had it blowing directly on us but it was too hot to sleep. My partner soaked a towel and laid on it. Twice in the night she got in the shower to cool down. There was no lock on either door. Not a major problem in the middle of nowhere but still should be a basic provision. We were ok about it but others might not be. The water in the shower smelt like eggs. We aren’t sure if it was the water or the drain but it appeared to be the water. We washed in it regardless as we needed to cool down. The location is so remote that it is arguably dangerous to get there. We scratched our hire car getting in and bounced our way through pot holes and sand. The overgrowth of reeds wrapped around the cars axle and we found and removed a very hot birds nest of reeds the day after when the car was making a strange noise. This could be the perfect hotel due to its beautiful remote location. If you want tranquility and the sound of waves lapping at your door, it’s the perfect place. They just need install Aircon, some simple locks for privacy and restore the hot water.
