Villa Ranas Sur 6 Bedroom Seafront Villa - 6 BR Oceanfront Villa with Pool. Cook Svce Option. Spectacular Views!

Fantastic Way to Bring the New Year In!

from Belton United States, Jan. 4, 2012

Stayed 7 days in December, 2011

Villa Ranas accomodations met the needs of 6 couples. <br/>The outside pool area and grounds offered a great place for everyone to gather. Although we were not on the beach we had wonderful access to the water and snorkeling. An additional benefit was that we had easy access to a dock and dive operation.<br/>Ruben and Maria were wonderful in taking care of our needs while there. The cook service was fantastic and would highly recommend it.<br/>Cristina was very helpful in answering all of our questions.<br/>Our group did not want to leave and look forward to coming back soon!

Family Vacation

from Plymouth United States, June 27, 2011

Stayed 7 days in June, 2011

My Husband and I took our 6 adult children and 2 of their spouses on a family vacation. We loved staying at the Villa because we could all be together yet, there was plenty of room for each to have privacy. Roberto and Maria were wonderful, always there to help and did a great job of keeping the villa clean. The website states there is a washer and dryer, however, they were not for guest use but Maria washed our clothes for us which was very nice. The accomodations were wonderful with the exception of a grill which would have been very useful as we did all our own cooking. We recommend the Villa Ranas Sur to everyone!!

Good location for a dive trip

The location and villa were pretty good. We had no problems and enjoyed ourselves. The property is large enough that you can get-away from the group when you want to. The only negatives were that the property could use a barbeque grill (even a cheap one!) and it needs a few more outside chairs / lounges.

Great stay. We will return!

Our cook Lucy was fantastic. Her assistant Candi was very nice.<br/>Victor went out of his way to help us with anything we asked (even though he oversaw the Iguanas property) He was extremely kind and helpful. <br/>However, the one thing that I would like to see improve is the beds. They were very hard and not comfortable.

The dive boat was able to pick us up right near the property which was wonderful. We found out that if you walk to San Fransisco Beach after 5 you could use the water activities free. The pool was awesome. We really enjoyed that fact that there was not anyone staying in the Iguana Sur so we had the pool all to ourselves.

Villa Ranas with 13 family members

The Villa Ranas is lovely and in a beautiful spot. The caretakers, Maria and Rober were very good and took great care of the house. We had a wonderful time. There were 2 things that need improvement. The beds are all incredibly hard and all the guests complained about that. Also, there is no BBQ. The addition of a gas grill would have been great. We would have cooked outside instead of in the house. Overall, this was a wonderful place to stay and I woudl recommend it

Sign on front...TINY and difficult to find in the dark...esp since it is after Villa Iguanas and when driving, very difficult to see. Since our plane was 2 hours late, we got in after dark because we needed to stop at the store on the way.<br/><br/>Kitchen needs some real updating and cleaning. Shelves are a little dirty, especially where high and the staff cannot reach. Refridge door shuts poorly. Purified water was handy and good.<br/>Toaster was broken and not replaced. Villa needs an electric juicer (places I have rented before had one). Knives were un-usable they were so dull...we bought some and left them. Bought extra glasses, as we needed larger ones...left them there. <br/><br/>Phone information not clear. Website said no long distance calls, note inside the villa said free long distance calls to US and Canda? Which one?<br/>We didn't use it in either case. <br/><br/>"Message" about not putting toilet paper in commode was behind the doors...which means some did not read it as they did not close this door when in the private suites. <br/><br/>A dishwasher would be make this much nicer because we had to do dishes ourselves most of the time...breakfast dishes were generally the only ones for Maria to do. <br/>

Wonderful stay in cozumel.

We did this trip primarily because we wanted to dive, but several people who came did not dive and rented scooters to go around the island. They had a great time too. This was a wonderful trip and the house made it worth it. My only complaint was that the pool was a little cold for my taste, but the house was impecable and we completely enjoyed our stay. I would recommend this house to anyone.

ranas sur.. we're talkin' HOT!!!!!

overall... a really neat house, one you like to explore. BUT.. the lack of air conditioning in the greatroom, ie., living, dining, and kitchen is a major drawback. maybe it was a bad time when we arrived, maybe there was no breeze, the sun was hot, who knows? it was devastatingly hot. even fulvio, when he came in to greet us (a very nice gesture indeed)was wringing with perspiration when he left the house. i understand NOW as he explained, you never advertised the house was fully air-conditioned.. but in this day and age, really now.. it's just expected. it was so hot we could not, as our family from disparate parts of the country likes to do, cook meals there and gather in the living room. that was disappointing. otherwise, the staff was very nice. so was the place, but just too..darned..hot!

I can not say enough about how beautiful and clean the property was. Luis and Ellie were OUTSTANDING and Victor could have not been anymore helpful and sweeter. I was married there and took 29 family, friends f7 days and it was the perfect place

The only complaint I would have is there is no ac in the kitchen or living room, but the ac does work wonderfully in the rooms

Nice

We had a wonderful time. We took our entire family! Twelve of us went. There was plenty of room. We loved it. Town was farther than I thought. Next time I would do my own grocery shopping. There is a large market in town.

This is an excellent property; large, light, and comfortable, with wonderful views. The snorkeling also was quite good. The location is excellent if you want a quiet spot about 15 minutes by car from down town, if you hire a cook (especially Isabelle), or if you like to cook yourself. The only potential drawback is the drive to town and restaurants. However, that was no drawback to us.

Great family vacation house!
