Hello Nick and Sloane—

We had such a wonderful time—thank you!

The moment we arrived and parked the car and walked to the front of Casa Rosa and felt the warm breeze….it transported us to heaven—we love it there!

Would love to meet you both.

Best,

Hi Nick,

I’m finally getting a chance to send you an e-mail. We had a fantastic time staying at Casa Rosa.It was everything we hoped for and more. Bernadino, Maria and Noel were more than accommodating and we felt completely at home.
We are hoping to do another trip next year. We will let you know.

Thanks,

Hi Sloane, Nick,

Let me thank you both, the Casa Rosa Crew (Noel, Bernardino and Maria) and Rhett for our unforgettable stay at Casa Rosa. It is truly printed in our minds. Staying at Casa Rosa is absolutely a must when visiting the Maya Riviera.

Within minutes after our arrival Maria and Bernardino gave us a sort of “home coming ” feeling which we had the entire stay. We had a great time at Casa Rosa. The sea in front of Casa Rosa is loaded with beautiful coral, fish, crab fish, sting rays, shells, turtles and lobsters. It is such a pleasure snorkeling and kayaking in front of the house. The beach however is loaded with heremit crab, pelicans, birds and……tiny little turtles. We experienced four times the birth of you turtles……..We saw a giant turle laying her eggs in the sand at full moon. There’s one thing which isn’t on the beach…..people.It looks like an abandoned beach…….what a heaven on earth! Thanks for sharing that beautiful piece on earth.

According to us: Bernardino and Maria are part of Casa Rosa. Because of them we experienced a beautiful Mexican vacation. They helped with the laundry, they cooked, we learned them some Dutch words, they learned us some Mayan words, they surprised us with Coconut drinks from the palmtrees, with fresh Guacamole and Tomato dip. Both Berdnardino and Maria were very, very nice to Maddy, our seven year old daughter. Thanks, many thanks for your hospitality.

Also thanks for Noel for helping us with the Turtles on the beach and for those tiny little palm leaf grasshoppers. And many thanks for Rhett as well. For helping us out when we needed it.

Regards,

Good Morning Nick,

We are back on US soil and the rest of the family in the UK…. What an absolutely fabulous time we had…The pictures of Casa Rosa are mouth watering … to be there is amazing. We have been totally spoiled and are looking at coming back. Maria, Bernadino and Noel are wonderful, we love them.

We have other family members who would like to come too, we were wondering if you knew of another property in the area which we could also rent so all of us could make a return… we would need Casa Rosa and another house…

we could see ourselves spending our retirement out there.. our way of life …simple, not rushed and good food to boot…

Looking forward to hearing from you

Hi, Sloane and Nick,

Well, how best to describe our Casa Rosa stay? Simply put, one of our best vacations ever!

We so totally disconnected/unplugged and could not have been in a better location. You clearly have THE best spot and house in Tulum. Thank you so much for making it available to us during spring break and introducing us to the area and to the fabulous folks you have supporting your property there.

Maria and Bernardino were an absolute joy to have around and we sat in complete luxury with the three dinners they cooked for us. The kids became fast friends with Noel….”when can we take a plate of dinner out to him???”….”I got up early this morning to see him before he left.”

We did a few things in the area –especially enjoyed the Biosphere trip –but certainly the highlight was your home –and we made the most of it, holding three rounds up epic “Olympic events” with the 4 kids we had with us. Great fun.

Best,

Dear Nick:

Cannot begin to express my fond feelings for Casa Rosa, from beginning to end, we had an awesome experience, from start to finish! The house is wonderful, comfortable and very clean. There is not enough to describe this place, its absolute beautiful it’s a paradise.

I searched for a location of value without having to sacrifice being near the beach. Not only were we steps to the beach, but we got to experience one of the most beautiful beaches we’ve ever seen.

There is also a beautiful ocean and pool view right off the balcony which we took advantage of at night to unwind. The beds were very comfortable and accommodated us without any problem. The rooms are spacious, looked out over the ocean and were great for relaxing enjoying the sights and sounds of the ocean

Casa Rosa is delightful, and is right there by the beach, fantastic views all around. An unbeatable location, It offers so many amenities and the close proximity to major sites such as Xcaret or Xplor, Xle-Ha, Tulum, Playa del Carmen and Cenotes was unbeatable. the house was picture postcard perfect; we took full advantage of the beach and the pool. The house itself was very clean, spacious, and comfortable, and well maintained and up to date.

We spent a wonderful week at Casa Rosa and we truly have nothing but praise for every aspect. We had a vacation of a lifetime, and we got to experience one of the most beautiful beaches we’ve ever seen.

The staff was helpful, friendly and courteous a fantastic service, Bernardino, Maria and Noel they take care of us like you have no idea, they are great people and they make us feel like home.

Overall, I highly recommend this rental. Being away from all the crowd that we would’ve encountered in a resort was great. Casa Rosa truly met all our expectations and made us feel at home. I would most definitely stay at this property again.

Thank You.

P.S: I see you next Year LOL…

Nick and Sloane,

Thank you again for a fantastic Thanksgiving week at Casa Rosa. There is possibly no better back yard on Earth. The two 6-year-olds and one 8-year-old bounced between the beautiful pool and even more beautiful calm, clear, warm water of the Caribbean all day long, with some breaks to eat pineapple on the hammocks or swing on the swings. The palm trees provide such wonderful shade.

Noel made animals out of palm fronds and left them for the children to find in the morning like treasures. Bernardino and Maria were excellent chefs for us one night–we all loved their chiles rellenos. They were so helpful and interesting–Mike loved practicing his Spanish with them and getting to know more about their lives.

Mike, our home chef and gourmand, was happy that there is a gas stove and grill and a well-stocked kitchen and a close-enough grocery store. We all really appreciated the Wifi, the air conditioning, the bottled water for brushing teeth, and the soft linens. We loved walking along the beach and fly fishing–wish we could have gone out with Rhett–next time! We still caught (and released) lots of gorgeous little fish. Rhett gave us lots of tips about how to navigate the cultural differences and not get into sticky situations. He is so funny!

Thank you again for sharing your slice of paradise!

Hey Nick!

A great week and I think you have the best place in Quintana Roo! We all loved it.

Bernardino and Maria are terrific! Noel was very conscientious too. All in all a 5 star!

Dear Nick,

Just wanted to write to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at Casa Rosa. The house is very beautiful, well equipped and well designed. The property is a real jewel. The staff were wonderful.

Hoping to do another stay at your Casa in the near future. We enjoyed our time there.

Hi Nick,

We just returned from Casa Rosa.  I just want to let you know how wonderful your house is there.  We had a fantastic stay and can’t say enough about the beautiful location and beach.  The house itself is also terrific.

We arranged all of our airport transfers, local tours, etc through Juan Santos of Tulum Juan Tours.  He and his company are excellent.  He runs two vans and three taxis with the help of his son, Gerardo.  He was most accommodating and a pleasure to be around.  He thoroughly enjoys what he does and enjoys sharing it with others and it shows.  You mentioned that others sometimes ask for this type of service and I would highly recommend him.

Thank you for sharing Casa Rosa with us.  We may be in touch for a another stay in the future.

Nick,

We had the most awesome time again! Bernardino and Maria cooked us the most awesome dinner meal for the whole group of 11. Noel made us some incredible palm leaf fish and stars.  The beach was incredible. Without a doubt you have the best beach, staff and place on Tankah Bay. I took my Quadcopter and took some great photos and videos.

With that said we are going to book again for Sept – October very soon. Would love to stay at least twice a year.

Thanks,

Week at Casa Rosa

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Rosa. The house is a four bedroom 3 bathroom set up. All rooms are very nice size with air conditioning that works well. Our group was all impressed from day one on arrival as to get to the house you have to pass a security checkpoint a mile down the road and then you arrive the house front gate that is secured with coded door lock. There is also on site security from Noel. He does a great job watching over the property at night. That being said, we had absolutely no security issues. The place was very peaceful. The entry way is very nice and clean (Bernadino and Maria take very good care of the property). The house has fairly good wifi and satellite tv worked great (we only watched the super bowl). The kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies. There is a gas grill out front. We had Maria and Bernadino cook a couple of meals that were excellent and they also went on a couple of grocery runs for us. Once you open the patio door out the back, there is a terrific breeze right through the house. The sea breeze each day was amazing. The pool was very clean and refreshing. The beach front area was well kept and the sand was soft. The hammocks are great to relax on. There are coconuts available from the trees in the back to make drinks with when they are ripe. Bernadino is a help with that. The water has some rock/coral on entry. There is some sea grass too. However, the snorkeling out from the house was amazing. I have paid for snorkel trips and gotten far less. There are a couple of really nice snorkeling reefs very close to the property. We saw sting rays, cuttlefish, angel fish, etc, etc,. It was excellent and a very easy activity. There is a cenote down the road that many people go to as well for another near snorkel excursion. We had a few meals out for dinner and breakfast. I recommend casa cenote or the tankah inn for breakfast. I also recommend going to Blue Sky just a bit further down from casa cenote for thieir wood fired pizza. It was fantastic. Bernadino ordered two taxis for our group to go to the Tulum ruins near by. If you want a relaxing getaway with family or a group of friends, I highly recommend Casa Rosa.

Would highly recommend this stunning villa. It has everything you need. Situated on your own private beach it was a wonderful place to truly relax. The welcome pack covered all the local attractions and restaurants. The house staff were friendly and helpful – we enjoyed a final supper cooked by Bernardino and Maria which was delicious. All in all, we cannot find any faults and would love to return.

Dear Nick,

Just a quick message to thank you for allowing us to rent your property. We had such a great time, enjoyed the tranquility of the area and the amazing beach in front of your property.

Bernardino and Maria provided an excellent service! We hope to come back in the near future.

Best regards,

We just spent a week at the paradise that is Casa Rosa to celebrate my mum’s 60th birthday and we miss the sunrises over the ocean already! As four adult couples, this house suited our needs perfectly. The bedrooms are spacious with a lot of closet space and the temperature control in the house overall, but especially in each of the bedrooms, is fantastic (and makes for a very comfortable night’s sleep!).

The decor of the house puts you in vacation mode right away and the common area/kitchen is perfect for preparing food, family meals, and lounging around. But let’s be honest, you’ll want to spend as much time as possible out back, on your PRIVATE beach. Such a magical experience to be mere steps from the ocean, with hammocks, beach chairs, and a fresh water pool and outdoor shower to rinse off.

We found the Casa Rosa guidebook to be extremely helpful and tried many of the recommended activities and restaurants in Akumal, Tulum Pueblo, and Tulum Beach. We were also extremely well looked after by the wonderful staff, Bernardino, Maria, and Noel. Bernardino and Maria kept the house and the property spotless and the meal they prepared for us on our last night was one of the best we had the whole week! Noel, the night guard, is a wonderful soul who not only made us feel safe but also shared his expert knowledge of the local wildlife and even helped us practice our Spanish.

Nick is one of the most attentive hosts I have ever booked with and I was grateful for his swift responses from the day we booked Casa Rosa until the day we left. Thank you for sharing your home away from home with us. We will never forget this incredible family vacation!
