Awesome family vacation!
WOW! This incredible villa right on the beach was a once in a lifetime experience to celebrate my husband’s 60th birthday with our whole family. The views were simply amazing and the house was even more impressive than imagined. There were 7 adults and more than enough room for everyone. Dora was fantastic from the first communications, setting up our transportation, to the walk through and answering every question possible in a prompt fashion. Pablo created a wonderful meal for us and all the staff (housekeeping, gardener, pool maintenance, massage therapist) were all friendly and helpful. We can’t recommend this property enough. Kudos to Shauna for sharing her gorgeous home with us. We are already looking at booking next year.

Impressed!
The home was in fantastic shape and well maintained. Great privacy with a large pool and the beach just 10 feet from the back gate. First time in Puerto Morales and we found the town refreshingly simple and safe feeling. With the direct flight into the Cancun from Denver and a short 30 minute drive to the home, it was great not to feel like too much of our vacation was devoted to travel.

Couple Trip
We cannot say enough good things about the Larena or the house manager Dora. Five couples went for a 40th birthday trip and had the trip of a lifetime. Dora is recommendations were flawless and the house was everything we expected and more. We cannot recommend this property, the owners, or the house manager enough. Puerto Morelos did not disappoint, it was welcoming, charming and family friendly. We felt so safe and taken care of by all the locals. Wonderful stay stay, five stars.

This house was perfect for my family vacation.
This is a very well kept property, and kitchen layout with plenty of storage and an extra fridge in gated carport made cooking all the things I wanted a real treat. Very comfortable, with AC throughout. All 5 bedrooms having their own bathroom blew the 9-15 yr old girls’ minds. Having laundry machine to do small loads as needed was very convenient. The pool was recently modified to extend the shallow section from a semicircle into a big rectangle and new steps and grab bars were added. I mention the change in pool shape because I was trying to initially find the house using a satellite image map that wasn’t matching up with aerial pictures taken before pool renovation. You’ll have to plan to go somewhere else to snorkel to see any coral or fish; we ventured out about 200 meters in front of house and saw nothing but sea grass. Dora was lovely and helpful, guided us to the house quickly (given my map confusion) and was always a text message away!

Fantastic week
We had 9 adults staying for a week and all of us had a wonderful time. The house with the pool was comfortable and beautiful. We could walk to the shops and restaurants in Puerto Morelos. Dora, the manager, took care of all of our needs from arranging transportation to various towns and attractions to having a yoga instructor come one day and a masseur another day. Dora also arranged for a chef, Pablo, to come and give a cooking class. Pablo made a fun evening having everyone joining in in making a delicious meal and explaining how to do things and why. The dinner was a feast with chicken, steak, seafood, a corn dish and several salsas. It was a memorable fun week!

Lovely house on the beach
The home is exactly as pictured. Lovely! Dora, the house manager, was great. Any questions or challenges, she took care of it fast! You need something delivered to the house, she had it done—bikes, a birthday cake, groceries, no problem, you name it Dora could get it. A cooking class at the house? Dora made that happen, too! One night Chef Pablo guided us as we grilled fresh fish, made two fresh salsas, ceviche, and creamy beans and rice, superb! He also cooked us a delicious chicken dinner our first night. Rafas made breakfast for 3 mornings. We ate out a lot. We loved Pelícanos for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, its ocean view was the best. We also ate at El Merkadito (another great view) Punta Corcho (super funky decor) and John Grays Kitchen (Dora’s restaurant great chicken dinner!). The Romarley restaurant is a ten minute walk from the house (good food and view).We biked a lot to the town square, fun ride. The walk along the beach to the square was great if you are up for it. We also booked a walking food tour through Viator with Chris. He’s amazing, knowledgeable, the food authentic, and overall fun. The tour was in Puerto Morelos across the road. We enjoyed it all! It’s easy to fall in love with Puerto Morelos and Dora! Thank you for a restful and lovely week!

First of all I have to shout out DORA, our incredible personal concierge. She helped us plan all of our fun adventures while we were there including a private chef, massages, fishing, horse back riding and MORE. The house is an absolute stunner and even more magnificent in person. Extra bonus, it has a HUGE rooftop with insane views. We will definitely come back again in the near future.

Absolutely FABULOUS!!
This property is actually better than advertised! Yes, it's beautiful, spacious and close to town but our stay was made better by the wonderful people that took care of us. We rented Villa Karina for my husband's 60th birthday celebration and were joined by 3 other couples and our daughter. Throughout the planning process and during our stay Dora made sure everything was effortless. Dora arranged our airport transfers as well as a stop to Chedraui for groceries and drinks. The first night Dora set up Chef Pablo to come cook for us after a day of travel. Everything was delicious!! For my husbands birthday Charlie cooked us chilaquiles (my husbands favorite) for breakfast, along with fresh fruit and fruit juices. AMAZING!! Breakfast was followed by massages on the rooftop (Vicki and Gabriella were fantastic!) We lounged by the pool and walked on the beach until dinner, where once again, Pablo cooked a wonderful dinner and Tony the bartender made sure our drinks were never empty. Truly a day a pampering and relaxation. We had Charlie come back and make dinner another night, his surf and turf meal on the grill was a real treat for all of us. We walked into town almost everyday (it's about a mile walk on the beach) to shop in the town square & try some of the local restaurants. Our favorite restaurant was John Gray's, absolutely amazing and owned by Dora!! I had no idea!! The trip and Villa Karina were amazing! We hope to return soon!

Beautiful villa steps from the ocean
We were a party of 5 adults and one infant and spent a week in PM in early February. This is a lovely, well-cared for property right on the ocean. Each bedroom having its own bathroom was a great convenience. We spent a lot of time outdoors by the pool---there are lots of lounge chairs, umbrellas, and outdoor seating areas. Dora, the house manager was great--- promptly responding to our queries and arranging massages, transportation, and chefs. The house is about a 20-25 minute walk into town, and it got hot and humid late morning and afternoon. However, cabs are plentiful and cab rides into and from town were prompt and cheap. We would stay here again and highly recommend this place

Truly Magnificent!
Nine of us spent a wonderful week in Puerto Morelos white at the splendid Villa Karina. The villa was extremely spacious, modern, and well-equipped for us, especially the kitchen! Dora was a delight to work with and made arrangements for excursions to Tulum and Chichen Itza and in-house massages during our stay. The housekeeper visited three times and kept the villa immaculate and the groundskeeper was there often maintaining the beautiful grounds quite well. The villa sits a bit north of town but is definitely walking distance down the beach if you're inclined. A taxi was quickly available whenever we called for one. The view of the sunrises is absolutely splendid as the villa faces due east. The bird watching was also terrific as the ocean breezes blew the sea birds quite close and we got great views of all sorts of gulls, pelicans,frigate birds, terns and so many more. The only real challenge we encountered was the difficulty of getting into and out of the pool. It's quite a step down to get in and a big step to get up with no handrails to assist you. We didn't find the kayaks that were mentioned in the listing either. The water from the taps was not potable, but plenty of water bottles were provided and we never ran out. These were all minor inconveniences and shouldn't stop you from staying at this amazing place! We loved it so much, we're in the process of planning next year's trip already and Villa Karina is at the top of our list for consideration!

Far Exceeded Expectations
The property is beautiful in photos but you do not get an accurate feel for the beauty of the setting, the cleanliness of the property, and how well-maintained the property is until you arrive at this majestic home. Fully functional, well-equipped, quiet, generous indoor and outdoor spaces, and an ensuite bathroom in every one of its five rooms makes this home exceptionally comfortable. We (7 friends) used all the spaces, indoor dining, outdoor dining, poolside, danced under the palapa, morning yoga on the rooftop terrace during sunrises, and drinks in the evening during sunset. A one mile walk into Puerto Morelos along the beach makes it ideally located for strolls along the beach; you can also walk 2 miles the other direction. There is a wonderful grocery store, bakery, Gelateria and restaurants in Puerto Morelos. We rented a car while there, so it was easy to get wherever we wanted to go. A car is almost necessary as the house is not close enough to walk to town easily for supplies. Inside garage parking is available for up to two cars. On top of all this, the manager Dora is completely at your disposal before and during your stay to answer questions and make sure you have a delightful experience. She's extremely knowledgable about the area and just a lovely person. I highly recommend this property!
