The villa was very well stocked from kitchen to snorkels, fins, life jackets and kayaks. The location was close to many cenotes for swimming or just relaxing by the pool or beachfront.The staff was very helpful at all times. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Hopefully we can return!
Our hosts were welcoming and very responsive. The property sits on a lovely area of beach just off the reef so perfect for snorkeling or diving. We loved our cooking class and of course all the food was wonderful. If you’re looking for a spot with easy access to the sights of Tulum, this is your spot.
We've stayed here previously 15 years ago! It has been improved since we stayed last. The AC in the bedrooms kept them comfortable. The cooks did a fantastic job for us and the convenience of having breakfast and dinner cooked for us each day was fabulous. We will be back!
Great house, food was delicious, and the location was primo. Casual bar/restaurant just up the beach with several nice boutique hotel restaurants only a couple doors away. Would definitely stay again.
Everything from check in to meals were amazing! Definitely get the enchiladas! Luis was so sweet and super helpful the entire time. Beds were very comfortable. No issues at all!
This is our third time staying here and never disappoints. We won’t stay anywhere else. Yobany, Louis, Grace, Edith and the one lady who comes every day to cook breakfast and clean are all amazing! We love them and that’s why we love coming back.
Wonderful amenities. The staff were responsive. The food was excellent and so accommodating with a revised menu for vegetarians. Truly a great property and super relaxing.
This was a perfect home for a family vacation with adult children. The home is spotless, the beach is amazing, the location is excellent. The prepared food was delicious and Luiz’s margaritas each night were amazing! The online photos do not do the house justice.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and the staff was fantastic! Especially Luis! The food was great and all we could have hoped for. If they would just fix the road into the property! :-)
Fabulous stay in August with my family, wife and two boys (18 and 16). Great accommodation, spacious everything you need. The team there are brilliant. The food is fantastic a real luxury to not have to trapse out or cook for yourself. It was sargassum season but the beach was cleaned daily. Still easy to take paddleboards out to the reef to snorkel. Lovely peaceful location right on the beach. Lots provided (snorkelling clear, kayaks and paddleboards). Book and enjoy a great break. Definitely use the catering option every meal was exceptional!
This was our second stay at Casa Play Azul, a wonderful and accommodating house on the Caribbean beach. The property is impeccable, well-equipped in all aspects, and the staff are amazing, responsive and always helpful. Thank you again for hosting us for a great vacation, and we look forward to seeing you all again!
Even better than it appears online! Nice beach with snorkeling and kayaking right outside the house. We were able to easily swim to the reef with provided lifejackets and snorkel gear. The staff was lovely and dinners delicious. What a great way to spend a week with friends!
This is my second time staying here and it is truly a magical place. There was 5 girls and we had plenty of room. The beds are very comfortable and love having the privacy of the 2 upstairs rooms. Our chef was amazing and cared for us the whole week. It feels like you have your own private beach. I can’t wait to go back!
We will never stay anywhere else. We have stayed here twice with our whole family and my mom stays here very time she travels to Mexico. The house is comfortable and beachy, location is central and convenient, but mainly we stay because we love Yobany, Edith, Luis and the rest of the people who work there. Also, don’t spend money on eating out - the food at the house is better than any restaurant!!
Wonderful people, house, and meals. The home cooked Mexican food was exceptional, and the entier staff was very helpful.
The only disappointment was the rockey waterfront. We found it difficult to enter the water from the property.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff was amazing and attended to our every need. Our favorite experience was the Mayan Cooking class. The place was comfortable and kept spotless. There are nice places to eat and grab a drink close by. We really enjoyed Casa Cenote Restaurant. We would definitely recommend for a relaxing family vacation. They exceeded our expectations and the pictures didn't do it justice.

About the host
Hosted by Frank Conati
We are two families that always dreamed of a beach home. We realized that dream more than 20 years ago, and have been serving clients ever since.
Why they chose this property
This property is a tastefully decorated beach house with beautiful palapa outdoor patios reminiscent of the days before the oversized and ecologically unsound hotels and commercial establishments arrived in Tankah.
What makes this property unique
This home is set up for adults and families so each group has their own ensuite bath and lounging areas providing a great blend of privacy and group spaces not found in other homes. Wonderful home-cooked meals that can be served inside or outside on our beautiful palapa patios.
