Peaceful cottage on the beach with heated pool, sunsets and tropical gardens

We had a truly lovely, relaxing stay in this gorgeous traditional Mexican cottage, with amazing views over the pool and the sea. It was wonderfully peaceful, and the hosts were very welcoming. Juan and his family, who look after the property, were fantastic. Their son-in-law kindly ferried us around the island in his taxi and showed us different places along the way, which really added to our experience. A fantastic stay overall, we would absolutely love to return.

Such a beautiful property! We were moving from a house on the south side we had shared with our adult children and moved to this location after they departed. We have stayed all over the island but never in Sac Bajo. We would 10 out of 10 come back to this location. Seclusion, peace, beauty, tranquility at its finest. Thanks for an amazing stay, we will be back!

Well, we picked the right place to stay, for sure! Our cottage was very comfortable and relaxing. A breathtaking ocean view; your own private beach; and, just steps out the front door and you’re at poolside. It just doesn’t get any better!Steve and Lindell (sp) are wonderful hosts who immediately make you feel right at home.And, when we chose to explore the island, we just fired up the golf cart (you rent them) and hit Adventure Trail! Multiple beaches to visit, swim with the dolphins, delicious restaurants and, of course, shopping galore!No doubt about it…we’ll visit again. And, when we do, our accommodations will be the Villa Makax, baby!Ron & Inajo Gray

Right from the beginning Steve was very friendly and communicative. Promptly answered ALL of our numerous emails with an abundance of questions. Our cottage wasn't available for the total time we were spending there, so he let us rent another cottage for three days (minimum stay is four) until our cottage was available. The grounds are beautiful, the views are stunning, and the caretakers are very friendly. The property has a friendly dog named Hookah and two very friendly rabbits that we enjoyed while we were there. The beach is just steps from any of the cottages. The pool and sitting areas were well maintained and cared for on a daily basis. There is plenty of parking for vehicles and golf carts. The property is within walking distance to Zama Beach Resort and Izla Hotel where you can catch a taxi; but I would highly recommended renting a golf cart. What I loved most about the property is that it's located on the south end of the island on Sac Bajo away from the hustle and bustle of downtown, just a 20-minute golf cart ride away. The property is quiet, secluded and peaceful. The property has a covered sitting area with very comfortable cushioned patio sofas, chairs and coffee table along with an open bar with water, beer and juice available that all guests are welcome to and usually contribute to upon their departure. It's a great place to sit and have a cocktail, socialize with the other guests or gaze at the beautiful views. I personally loved sitting there, as well as on our patio, watching and listening to the rain. If you're looking for luxury, daily room service and posh amenities this place IS NOT for you. But if you're looking for peacefulness, solitude and relaxation this IS the place for you.
