Ont été d'excellentes vacances. Nous avons été très bien traités, très bon service. Les chambres sont très propres. Les installations en bon état et la piscine propre. Jill et Martin attendaient pour nous aider. Nous recommandons vraiment de venir passer quelques jours de vacances avec eux.

Jill gave concise and clear directions and we easily found Rio y Mar apartments and suites. The fresh flowers were a welcoming touch! From booking until checking out, Jill and Martin made us feel welcome. The consita was new and we were the first ones to stay in it! Kitchen is well stocked, large fridge is wonderful to have, hot plate works great. The king size bed is super comfy and the walk in shower is wonderful. The rooms are quiet and the Internet is great! The pool is literally 5 steps from your rooms. The beach is a 30 second walk. Jill has an immense knowledge of the area and can direct you to any sight or activity. They went above and beyond being a host. We became friends. We wanted 3 weeks of total relaxation, and that's what we got. Progresso is wonderful to visit and has everything from outdoor markets to good grocery stores. We loved it there on the days the cruise ships docked. Merida is the State capital and only a half hour away. Great bus service. Many museums, bull fights! symphony, concerts, fine dining, etc. Chelem offers many services also. Restaurants, fish mongres, small markets, fruit and vegetable stands, pottery stands, and more. The buses run continuously to Progreso and on to Merida. The attached restaurant, El Bull Pen, features North American comfort food. Ribs, fish and chips, spaghetti, etc. Great food! We highly recommend Martin and Jill as hosts. We will definitely be back and stay in the Rio y Mar apartments again!

Jill y Martin son unos excelentes anfitriones siempre atentos a cualquier cosa que se necesite. Si surge algún problema o inconveniente, de inmediato organizan como solucionarlo. La comida en el restaurante es buena y los demás visitantes muy amables. Lo recomendamos para familias con niños.

Джилл очень добрый! Chelem является большим, отведены назад место для отдыха!

jill et martin sont tres attentionnes . le rapport qualite/prix de la location est tres bon. la plage a 100 metres est un gros plus. commerces et resto a proximite . merci a vous .

Our month long stay was great. Our apartment was right by the pool. It was nice to be able to work, eat and relax by the pool. The place itself is next to the bull pen restaurant so if you ever need a glass of wine or a (URL HIDDEN) a perfect setup. The apartment was spacious and very cozy. We felt right at home. I don't usually comment too much on hosts themselves but Jill and Martin are amazing people. They were very helpful and in such a good mood that it made a real difference in our stay.

This is a great place to stay if you want to explore the yucatan. Off the beaten track but the location offers restaurants and stores in walking distance. If you're looking for a resort area this isn't the place for you, but, if you want a taste of local living you will not be disappointed.

Our stay at Cat and Joe's casita was perfection from beginning to end. The town of Chelem is about a 40 minute drive outside of Merida, so we rented a car--this is a necessity if you plan on being able move around. We had difficulty finding the house (the street numbers are not helpful), but one call to Cat and she found us and led us to the house. Cat and Joe were wonderful hosts: attentive and responsive to our needs, yet completely respectful and discrete with our privacy. They thought of every little detail in the beautiful little casita--it was clean and ready for us upon our arrival, with everything from soap and sunscreen and bug spray, to a coffee maker and corkscrew. Cat and Joe offered us use of their beachfront porch, just steps away from the casita, where we enjoyed local baked goods for breakfast, the ocean breeze, swimming in warm ocean water, and gorgeous sunsets. I highly recommend this rental for the perfect beach vacation...and thank you to Cat and Joe for welcoming us to Chelem!

We stayed at Cat and Joe's casita for two months. Our hosts were awesome! We chose to not have a rental car, which meant a bus ride from Cancun to Merida and then had to get to Chelem. Cat and Joe readily volunteered to drive into Merida to pick us up. From that point on, they were always very generous with offers to pick up something, to take us some place and to do whatever to make our stay enjoyable. The casita and location were perfect. After morning greetings from Cat and Joe's pups, Tito and Cila, we would spend quiet mornings with our coffees up in the palapa with the view of the ocean. At night, we got to listen to the waves of the ocean to lull us to sleep. The unit itself was a perfect size, uptodate with a washer and dryer as well - bonus!!!! The neighborhood is a secure place and we never felt that security was an issue. Internet was pretty good, with only an occasional blip here and there. TV was another bonus, however, we seldom even turned it on. As we had a membership at a gym in Progreso, after our breakfast we would make a 10 - 15 minute walk to the centro in Chelem to get on a local combi (van) to get a ride into Progreso, where there are a couple of supermarkets, gym, etc. It was the best of both - a quiet, peaceful casita and only a few minutes away, more activity. Cat and Joe were also very helpful in finding things for us - like the gym, or other stores, or whatever. If we needed something and asked, she knew where. She took us to a super local farmers market and to a couple of the local restaurant/bars in the area for entertainment. You are truly in a local, Mexican community here, but never feel out of place because of a super ex-pat community that fast become friends. I would not hesitate to recommend a stay at Cat and Joe's casita!!!!

This place worked really well for us. We travel full time with our dog in an rv. There are very few campgrounds in this part of Mexico. Alex's place has a huge lot, wide gate and fenced yard so it was perfect to park the rv and great for the dog to have a place to run around. We were only going to stay a week but ended up staying nearly a month. It's a big place and a great value. We used it to explore the area and it was perfect after hot days exploring Progreso, Merida, Celestun, Chichen Itza and cenotes to come back and enjoy the pool, palapa and AWESOME breezes. Like many places in Mexico the water pressure is low, but wasnt a big issue for us. Alex was very responsive and available. Pedro the maintenance guy was really friendly and helpful. For the price, we thought it was a real find and it was a nice break from the RV. Don't miss the monday farmers market just down the road toward Churburna (walkable from house).

La casa tiene lo necesario para una estancia tranquila, cuenta con todo lo descrito y es cómoda, Angelina muy atenta y en todo momento pendiente de cualquier duda o problema, el mar se encuentra a 3 cuadras de la casa y casi no cuenta con playa, el mar ya se lo comio, sin embargo hay muchas entradas aledañas donde se puede buscar donde instalarse y disfrutar de la arena, definitivamente por el costo que ofrece es una super mega opción para vacacionar con la familia.

Lo mejor del lugar son las atenciones de Marta y Marco, que junto con Andrea, nos recibieron generosamente. Las cabañas tienen independencia y todos los servicios; ideales para una estancia tranquila. Cuando fuimos aún estaba en remodelación, pero nada que interfiriera con nosotros.

Se está muy a gusto y el trato es muy cordial.

Great place ... super clean and brand new very pretty spot and very private setting!

Excellent séjour au bungalow CHELEM un quartier calme vue imprenable sur une piscine et palmiers, la nouvelle maison très confortable avec tous les services nécessaires! Nous nous sommes sentis comme à la maison.

Dies ist ein großer Ort, um zu entspannen und alles vergessen. Ich und meine Familie hatte eine tolle Zeit. Andrea und ihr Team half mit allen konnte uns wie in Hause fühlen. Es gibt noch einige kleinere Dinge im Bungalow zu beheben, aber ich weiß, dass sie daran arbeiten.

De la Casa de Chelem is perfect location for solo-travellers and couples seeking a quiet, warm, laid-back, short-term or long-term vacation. The casa is very comfortable, well-equipped and excellent value. The climate and weather, December to May make the location perfect. I highly recommend it.

Chelem je velmi příjemné a klidné místo, pláž je krásná, jen pár kroků od domu. Velmi čistit bazén a společné prostory, jak se objevují na fotografiích. Hostitelé jsou přátelští a pozorní, ale doporučujeme nastavit ceny i za mimořádné služby nabízené v Casa Rosa .. jako pronájem aut a výlety, protože tam bylo nedorozumění o tom. Zvažte také, že u bazénu pokoj nemá AC a v noci teplo je neúnosná .. a dobře chráněny před mnoha komárů .. :)

Funky shabby chic a la Mexicana house right by the ocean. Decorated with love :-)! The room had a nice breeze, fully equipped and several spaces around the house to eat, dream, read.. Refreshing pool and very helpful hosts. Easy acces to both progreso and Chelem. The beach is a bit littered, many run down houses that need love. But three nice spots at the beach that offer fair priced drinks and food. A colorful pool area at a Nearby hotel makes kids happy for just 30 pesos/day. Very relaxed and real environment that seems to be sleeping before the great renovation sell out starts? Thank you for having us :-)

This place has very nice location, it is quite and peaceful place with beach just in front of the house. There is no shop with food so I recommend to bring stuff from Progreso. There is one restaurant little bit expensive for us who travel on budget. Room is big and clean and fresh. The house has big terrase and 4 appartements. We felt like in a hostel or small hotel, as it doesnt have the spirit of Mexico like other Mexican houses.

Karen welcomed us and made it easy to be there. She is friendly and generous with her time, information on the life there and with recommendations in the area. Our room was cozy and comfortable. Must love dogs - and we do. For a budget stay, it is a fine place.

Vi hade en fantastisk tid på Casa Rosa med Karen och Tony. Härliga rum och bara fantastiska värdar. Du måste ta Karen upp på en cenote resa om erbjuds, måste du titta på solnedgången, måste du prova La Playa restaurang och du måste bara kyla i härlig rymd. Vi stannade i trädgården rum, som eftersom det är på gården fick ganska varmt på natten, jag misstänker att luftflödet i de två övervåningen lägenheter skulle vara bättre och så kallare på natten. Men med en takfläkt och en piedestal fläkt det var OK. Kan inte rekommendera Casa Rosa högt nog.

Vi hade bara den mest underbara tid vistas med Karen och Tony! De har skapat något så vacker, varm, välkomnande, hålla och äkta! Platsen är unik, genomtänkt och du kan se hur mycket tid och ansträngning de lagt till platsen. Vi möttes vid ankomsten, med tanke på en rundtur. Våra rum var bättre än väntat (bilder inte göra plats rättvisa) och rum utrustade med allt vi kan behöva för ett överkomligt pris. Området taket är AMAZING! Dela rum med andra människor är inga problem alls, eftersom det inte bara var alla andra super trevlig men platsen är perfekt utformade så att du kan social och har också en egen tid i de delade områdena. På taket ser ut över stranden, bokstavligen precis vid vattnet. Stor plats för att se solnedgången, middag, frukost, slappa etc. Poolen är så trevligt och en total dröm (och hållas så ren). Karen och Tony är de mest hålla värdar, anstränger sig för att se till att du känner dig hemma och går utöver. De hjälper i samhället med sina egna frivilliga typ av organisation som arbetar med vilda hundar i området och göra turer runt området också. Ärligt denna plats är häpnadsväckande. Och du verkligen inte ångra vistas !! Vi behövde verkligen vill lämna alls och skulle komma tillbaka en miljon gånger. Tack så så mycket för att ha oss !!

a perfect place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Karen and Tony are great, always ready to help you for anything. Hope to be back very soon

Everything was the way it was promised. Tony and Karen were wonderful hosts and very helpful with everything we needed. Thank you Tony and Karen.

La habitación muy limpia, muy cerca de la playa. Jill me encontré brevemente y hablé con Martin un par de veces. Él fue muy amable y la respuesta útil a mis muchas preguntas sobre la zona. Excelente piscina justo fuera de la habitación y operación bien administrada. Gracias!

Большой прием я пришел один к кайта. Кайт пятно 15-20мин на автобусе. Slam очень расслабляющий очень тихой деревне есть рестораны и рынок. Дом чистым и безопасным.

Quiet accomodation near the beach of Chelem. It is a small "beach town" with a lot of great local mexican (fish) restaurants-very delicious. The room was exactely as described and equipped with a fridge, coffee maker, coffee, sugar and plates and mugs. Everything was kindly arranged and prepared upon our arrival. Communication was very easy and Jill/Martin very friendly hosts. Would always come again :)

Jill y Martin son excelentes anfitriones ! Siempre dispuestos a ayudar y conversar :) Chelem es una buen opción para pasar unas vacaciones tranquilas. La playa está a dos pasos y tienes todo lo que necesitas al lado (tiendas, mini mercado, restaurantes...). El cuarto donde nos quedamos es el más sencillo de todos. Tiene todo lo necesario para una corta estadia y la piscina está a dos pasos !!!

Our stay was perfect! Jill and Martin are very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and felt really welcome. We would book here again! Quiet and clean.

Very nice stay in Chelem. We had a comfortable apartment that contained everything we needed. We did not even need to use the air conditioning, as there was great cross ventilation. Jill and Martin were very accommodating, always asking if there was anything we needed. The restaurant downstairs serves tasty dinners, and there are several other dining options in the neighborhood.

Really good spot close to the beach !! The restaurant was excellant as well Thank you Jill and Martin

Jill var en stor vært, der modtager os i Chelem og giver os et godt overblik over området. Værelset var behageligt og meget for lokationen. Internettet var plettet, da den ikke gjorde nå frem til værelset til tider, som Jill bidraget til at løse ved at oprette en router i nærheden. Chelem er stor og en perfekt base for kitesurfing lektioner (se efter YucKite). Og Jills sted er perfekt til at komme til at kende området.

Marilynn et Eric ont rendu mon séjour sur la côte au-dessus et au-delà parfait. Ils étaient les plus gentils hôtes nous donnant des conseils, des directives très claires, et pratiquement tout ce que nous avions besoin sans nous demander. Vous pouvez vraiment sentir leur hospitalité authentique et je ne pourrais pas recommander de rester avec eux plus. 110% grande expérience et va revenir. Merci !!

Eric & Marilyn call their property "amazing" but after 2 months there we can't help but feel that is a bit of an understatement. The casita was perfect! Modern, spacious, beautifully decorated, well equipped and ultra clean. We had our own private patio and section of garden as well as full access to the rest of the patio and pool area. The garden is just spectacular. But the absolute best part of the rental was the amazing hospitality! Eric & Marilyn made us feel so very welcome. Right from the start, we really felt "at home." We are sure these two will be life-long friends. We truly feel blessed that we found this particular Airbnb property when we were looking for a rental in the area. Eric & Marilyn take real pride in their home and spare no effort in keeping things maintained. We absolutely fell in love with Chelem and the neighbouring communities. So much so that we are returning in December to spend 5 months. We probably would have rented the casita again if it had been available but we chose to rent a two bedroom house so we have the opportunity to invite some family and friends down and introduce more people to this great area.

Eric and Marilyn are the hosts one dreams of meeting when doing Airbnb. Their listing was not only true to the photos, but they went as far to include me in their holiday endeavors. On arrival I was greeted with a bottle of wine, beer and an evening of wonderful conversation after I had a refreshing swim by the pool. The cleanliness was above average and Marilyn has a wonderful garden she takes pride in. The space allows you privacy as you enter and leave at your own leisure. The set up is perfect. I will definitely return as I feel Eric and Marilyn are friends from my stay in their lovely casita rental.

Nous avons été très bien reçus. Le logement est vraiment très bien équipé pour le séjour. Tout ce qui est nécessaire est dans la cuisine. L'épicerie étant un peu loin et Erik nous y a gentiment conduit gratuitement.

El permanecer en Eric y casita de Marilyn durante los últimos dos meses nos dio una maravillosa introducción a la península de Yucatán y el "real" de México. Chelem es un pequeño pueblo de pescadores en el Golfo de México, con una población predominantemente maya. Hay mucho que hacer y ver, una vibrante comunidad de expatriados, así como música en vivo en los diversos lugares de reunión en los alrededores de Chelem y Progreso. Mérida es una ciudad hermosa vale la pena explorar también. Eric y Marilyn fueron excelentes anfitriones. Se aseguraron de que teníamos todo lo necesario, con tal perspicacia y sugerencias sobre qué ver y hacer en la zona, y nos presentó a sus muchos amigos. Tenga en cuenta que tienen tres perros muy amigables que no nos molestó, ya que somos amantes de los perros. La casita se encuentra en la misma propiedad como residencia cerrada Eric y de Marilyn. Tiene su propia entrada y patio, con acceso a la zona de la piscina y un salón compartido. La propiedad está muy bien cuidada y mantenida. La casita en sí es limpio y brillante con una cama doble en el dormitorio, cuarto de baño con ducha, un vestidor, una cocina completa, comedor y sala de estar. El salón principal tiene aire acondicionado y hay ventiladores, así como en el salón principal y el dormitorio. Los servicios de televisión satélite canadiense proporcionado, que era genial para acceder a noticias y programación de casa. Para disfrutar realmente de la zona, un coche es recomendable, aunque hay opciones de transporte locales que son bastante barato - se puede caminar en Chelem adecuado (25 min) y tomar una combi (minibús) para los viajes en Progreso y Mérida, o llamar taxis locales / uber. En resumen nos enamoramos de la zona y nos pareció que es fácil de conocer gente y hacer amigos. Gracias Eric y Marilyn para una estancia maravillosa y esperamos verlos el próximo año!

Before I go any further, you should know that Eric and Marilyn are simply awesome people. And I don't mean "this dessert I'm eating is awesome"-awesome, they really are great. Huge, warm welcome with a drink or two, drove out to the highway to lead us to their home, and just full of goodness. They're great; you're in good hands. The casita is adorable and flanked by their little swimming pool and bar. Their dogs are delightful. If Chelem is your destination, believe me when I tell you you could do a lot worse and you'd be hard-pressed to do better!

Esta fue mi primera experiencia AirBnB y no podría haber sido mejor! Marilyn y Eric fueron los anfitriones perfectos y que de hecho han pensado en todo. La casita estaba reluciente de limpia y equipada con todo lo que pueda necesitar. Las áreas de la piscina y el jardín estaban muy bien cuidados y entorno tranquilo y relajante del todo. Ellos hicieron todo lo posible para incluirme en viajes a los restaurantes y las ciudades cercanas, y me siento muy afortunado de ellos y sus adorables caninos han cumplido. Los extraño ya!

Me quedé con mi familia 4 días, celebramos el año nuevo en la casa y la experiencia fue increíble. Barabra y Jean fueron muy hospitalarios con nostros. La casa está equipada con todo lo necesario para una estadía corta y larga. La playa frente a la casa es inmejorable en Chelem, la casa es confortable y muy bonita, nuestra experiencia no pudo haber sido mejor.

Casa agradable y los anfitriones más bonitas que he conocido! La gente tan grande y muy útil.

I stayed here only one nigth, booking the same day of arrival. Francisco has arrange everything really fast and when we arrive the house was exactly as described over the phone. The house is clean and comfortable to spend the night and have a quick breakfast. Francisco was really nice and kind.

Difícil descrever como nos sentimos em casa na casa e Francisco! Uma vila de pescadores sinceros e muito prestativos. Estar em Chelem é sentir se tranquilo, seguro e acolhido. Francisco e sua família são pessoas verdadeiramente especiais e não medem esforços para ajudar em tudo que necessitamos. A casa é fresca e agradável, há uns passos do mar.

Una estancia de maravilla con una atención personalizada y siempre en constante comunicación. Gracias por unos días de maravilla, se verdad nos sentimos en casa.

Grande valore per il denaro! Un assaggio di vera e propria del Messico, il paese è molto caratteristico, e la gente molto amichevole.

Chelem är en fantastisk plats, en sann mexikansk fiskeby. Tyst, säker, Noble. Perfekt för alla som söker sann lugn och avkoppling. Francisco Huset ligger i en utmärkt plats att gå till och från Progreso att gå till stranden eller gå till mynningen. De tar sina bestämmelser så att de kan förbereda frukost och middag hemma ... I stan, maten alltid läckra vid någon av restaurangerna: El Divino Redentor, The Brujitas, La terracita, Costa Azul Pescaderia Ria. Alla var läcker. Huset har köket har bra storlek kylskåp, fläktar, TV och wifi. Behovet av att vara där att ladda batteriet gå tidigt för att utforska Chelem. Natten faller tidigt, så vi rekommenderar att du börjar från morgonen till fånga dagen. Om du vill ha nattliv, kommer valet att gå till Progreso, en Uber (om llegaaan!, Uber!) Debiterar mer eller mindre 80 pesos per resa framsteg och mer eller mindre 300 pesos till Merida. Francis tack så mycket för den utmärkta uppmärksamhet och minutiös omsorg han hade med oss under hela vår vistelse. Chelem vet. Det är otroligt.

Buena casa y fácil de llegar en el restaurante transportation.also público cerca.

It has been a pleasant experience, the host Don Francisco always attentive, friendly and very accessible, the house is spacious and complies with q offers. Overall it seems right and fair price for what you get.

Tout très bien. M. Francisco est très sympathique et très professionnel. La maison est parfaite pour profiter d'une plage de week-end et se détendre.

This is a beautiful condo right on the beach with easy access to everything. John & Ron are more than accommodating to your needs!

Nos alojamos en lugar de Ron y Jon durante un mes y absolutamente disfrutamos !. Este lugar es impecable, muy bien decorado y la ubicación en la playa es por ninguna. Jon y Ron estaban por encima de todo y hicieron todo lo posible para asegurar nuestra comodidad, la seguridad y el disfrute. El lugar está a unos 10 minutos a pie del centro de Chelem, donde se puede coger el transporte público para Progresso por cerca de 9 pesos (50 centavos de dólar). Usted puede coger un autobús a Mérida desde allí por unos 20 pesos ($ 1). Sin embargo Progreso dispone de una gran cantidad de cosas que suceden especialmente cuando los barcos de crucero en puerto. Asegúrese de revisar las muchas actividades gratuitas disponibles en Mérida, como museos y eventos culturales.

Really enjoyed our stay at the Deco Beach Villa 2. Ron and John were very nice all the time like Cruz, the guy working with them. The seaside location is excellent, the terrace gives direct access to the beach. The apartment is clean, spacious and safe and has covered garage. The bed and the sofa bed are very comfortable. The pool is very nice and they provide clean beach towels and shower. Our dog was very well received and treated. TV is Apple TV which lets you watch Netflix, youtube, etc for free. The WiFi works very well and everything in general is perfect for a nice and relaxing holiday by the sea. Thanks John, Ron and Cruz !!!!
