Reviews for this vacation rental property

Awesome Experience with the best food EVER!! :)

from North Miami Beach United States, Jan. 31, 2012

Stayed 7 days in January, 2012

This rental experience was excellent. The staff were incredible. Always available and there to accommodate. The location was perfect for us...the proximity to the beach (you could see it from the end of the property), action if you wanted it (a fun north american style resto/bar was walking distance) - the location was really superb - and the main town area for groceries and shopping was only a 10-15 min drive away (although it was so relaxing at the villa we barely wanted to leave). And the villa was quite private - with only passerby traffice on a rare occasion as they passed our pool area in the distance to reach their dive boat. And the food was DIVINE. We took the cook and the menu offered by the company and boy were we surprised!! Our whole group of 8 are officially converted to being Mexican food lovers. Not only delicious, every day we could tell the cook when we wanted to be cooked for and served - this truly made it an extra special wonderful experience. And did I mention every room had their own bathroom, some with outdoor showers and the views from some of the rooms were breathtaking. LOVED this experience and would do it again in a heartbeat. :)

Las Ventanas Christmas

from Denver United States, Jan. 2, 2012

Stayed 7 days in December, 2011

Good experience. Overall very good rental. Fridge was a bit small for this size of a house. Would recommend an upgrade there--the seals were not in great shape. The on-site care takers were great. Our group of 11 cooked a lot of our meals so we didn't take advantage of their cooking.

from New Ulm United States, March 21, 2011

Stayed 7 days in March, 2011

The fridge could be updated in size and quality for keeping food cold. The only thing that would have made this villa more enjoyable would be if it were situated on a beach.

Great villa. Bedrooms are roomy, outdoor showers in some of the rooms were awesome. We wish the pool was heated but still managed to get into it. Caretakers (and chefs) were the BEST.

This was one of the most enjoyable vacations our group of 9 have ever been on. The property was beautiful and Edgar & Nini our chefs prepared 1st class meals. We would definitely come back again.

Las Ventanas, Cozumel

Scott C. from Avon United States, Dec. 7, 2010

Stayed 7 days in November, 2010

Loved our stay! Would return in a heartbeat. The staff was polite, hard working and fast to handle any requests. Excellent value for the price. Hot water didn't last too long for showers but with 8 people getting ready at once...well let's put it this way everyone got ready fast so we were never late going anywhere. A few little nice finishing touches one some of the things in the house would go a long way to improve overall appearance and impression but we still loved it! Spacious, clean, great staff, wonderful location, overall A- and I'm usually not that generous while rating a hotel/vacation house stay! Awesome

It was a great vacation for everyone.

Phyllis B. from San Antonio United States, Aug. 12, 2010

Stayed 7 days in August, 2010

Nini and Edgar were great as usual. Hope we can go again next year. One of the things we love to do when we go there is to scuba dive. Alejandro Oliver is the dive master we dive with. He has certified two of my grand children and a friend as well. He is very careful, very patient, and we could not ask for a better person to look out for our welfare. .

Great Fun for entire family

Phyllis B. from San Antonio United States, Aug. 7, 2009

Stayed 5 days in July, 2009

I have stayed at this villa about 5 times--sometimes with family and sometimes with friends. The staff are excellent. They are always friendly and helpful and do a great job. We love the location. It is good for divers which we are because of Alex Oliver and the others at the dive shop. On this trip some dove four times and others dove six times.

Great Week in Cozumel

Clay H. from Allen United States, June 29, 2009

Stayed 7 days in June, 2009

We just returned from another wonderful week in Cozumel. This was our second time to use At Home in Cozumel and our first time at Las Ventanas. We also had the same cook as our previous staff. His name was Luis and he was wonderful. Very accomodating and wonderful food. We dove 3 different times with Sand Dollar which was right next door and very convenient. The pool was also setup for water volley ball and it got a lot of use. We would highly recommend this property to anyone. We had 3 families with a total of 15 people and it was very comfortable. The couple that stays at the property to clean and help with cooking was very nice as well. Thanks for a great trip.

Property is showing its age

from San Antonio United States, April 26, 2009

Stayed 7 days in April, 2009

First, I would like to say that the on-site house staff was absolutely wonderful. Likewise, the reservation company in the U.S. was great. However, we never heard from nor were we ever contacted by the local property "manager" in Cozumel. He left a note at the house & disappeared the rest of the week. Also, the house is in disrepair & is not being well maintained. We have stayed at this house before, and each time it is worse, instead of improved. For example, there were very few pots & pans in the kitchen, and the ones that were there were in terrible shape. Tiles are missing from the pool, handles are missing from the closets, and both the vcr & dvd players are missing - apparently they broke & have not been replaced. So much for the movies we wanted to watch, and if you had kids, this could ruin your vacation. The blinds in some of the rooms are missing slats, there was no hot water in 2 of the bedrooms, and the screens on one side of the house were missing, allowing so many flies inside it was almost unbearable to cook. Also, the refrigerator is so small, you can't possibly fit a week's worth of food in it. We had to buy coolers just to store our beverages. For the price of this so-called "luxury" house, it needs to be well appointed with amenities. All of that having been said, for us, the location next to the dive shop more than made up for the property's shortcomings. We had a wonderful time & would go back again.

Great place for families!

Whitney M. from SLC United States, March 22, 2009

Stayed 7 days in March, 2009

We shared the house with 2 other families. We had 6 adults and 5 kids. There was plenty of room for everyone. We loved having our own pool at the house. The beach was close to the house but a little bit of a walk for all the kids. Plus the beaches were pretty crowded with resort guests. The best thing was having a personal chef that cooked us breakfast and dinner each day. The food was delicious and it was so great to not have to take the kids out to a restaurant.

A Wonderful place to stay for a family of 11 persons.

Elida J. from Eagle United States, Dec. 17, 2008

Stayed 7 days in December, 2008

The cooks, house caretaker and his wife cleaned the place everyday, except Sunday. They were very attentive to our needs and even shopped for groceries for us three times during our stay. The first morning we heard the clank, clank of the oxygen tanks being loaded, but after that we didn't even noticed. We rented a motor scooter and a jeep to go to town which is about 5 miles from Las Ventanas. There are several restaurants we could walk to along the beach. And snorkle anytime we wanted to. We took a tour to snorkle from the dive shop next door. All in all it was a wonderful stay.

Our family had a great vacation. We hope to stay there next year as well. The location was perfect. The oldest visitor was almost 65 and the youngest was three. It could not have been better.

When we signed up for the vacation I put down a $1000.00 deposit which was not part of the rental amount. I believe we left the house in the condition in which we found it. I was wondering how soon I would receive the deposit.

Give Las Ventanas a look.

from Columbia United States, April 28, 2008

Stayed 7 days in June, 2007

We had a great time. A good location next to the dive center allowed us to wander over for lessons and go out on trips at our convenience without the hassle of driving. We had 12 guests, which were easily accommodated by the spacious rooms. My only complaint was that the weather was hot and still. Even though the commons areas were airy and had fans, with no A/C it was a bit uncomfortable with the inevitable sunburns. The room air conditioning units were unreliable. The management was responsive, articulate and helpful. The pool was refreshing and beautiful. The architecture was striking and the diving was exceptional. Overall, a very good choice.

Las Ventanas

Ted K. from Prospect Heights United States, April 14, 2008

Stayed 7 days in March, 2008

Great place! We had 15 people, and had plenty of room. I highly recommend the cook service: great authentic Mexican food, and plenty of it. Since we all went scuba diving several times, the location next to the Sand Dollar Dive Shop was perfect. We watched the sun set every evening from the backyard. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for the privacy to enjoy your own pool, while still being close enough to enjoy the beach and all it had to offer (water sports, etc.).
