Beachfront house in El Cuyo, "Casa Copo"
It’s a nice-sized house directly in front of the beach. It has really good shade facing the beach and is an easy walk to everything. The house could use some updates but if you just want a place to chill at the beach with beautiful sand and water then it’s great. Our kids loved playing in the sand right in front in the shade. The kitchen has everything you might need and everything was pretty clean. As with everywhere on the island, the internet and phone signal were not consistent and cannot be counted on. Roco was very responsive and helpful. The whole place felt super safe and peaceful.

La Palapa, casa Kuka, Jungle living by the beach.
Daniel’s place is a unique Airbnb experience in a world of standardized stays. You can easily forget about your « normal » life back home and focus on what’s important in life. We’ll always remember Elena’s kindness and her beautiful breakfast. We feel like we left friends there and can’t wait to be back and stay at this wonderful house and family. Gracias Dani!

Zazil Ha Jellyfish Charming and hiding at El Cuyo
The accommodation is very conveniently located, steps from restaurants, shops and the pier, it has a private exit to the beach and has an outdoor shower to rinse off when you return from the beach. The kitchen is equipped with the basics, it has a spacious bathroom, comfortable beds and a shared terrace with an incredible view. I would certainly stay there again again

A very nice weekend escape. The house is very nice, comfortable and with everything you need to enjoy. Communication with Roger is excellent, very attentive and always available and willing to help and have a very comfortable stay. I recommend the house, in addition to having a very good location a street from the beach.

Stunning Beachfront walk out direct to beach
The location is fantastic, we had direct access to the beach, which made it very easy to go to the sea and return. The outdoor terrace allowed us to enjoy the views and the breeze. The staff was in communication at all times and was very friendly. Thank you very much for everything, I'm sure we'll come back

Bedroom with bathroom and separate entrance El Cuyo
Really it was great! I had the bedroom with a small terrace and it's really a plus! The sheets were very clean, the bedroom too. Air conditioning!! Really nothing to say and it's the cheapest option I found on the island! Great value for money!

Family Suite Garden View
Beautiful place. Close to the beach and Laura was very helpful.
