Villa Makax is a perfect getaway. We just spent 16 days there and it was absolutely perfect. Every time we went into town we'd say, "What should we do now?" and we always said "Let's go back to Villa Makax and hang out. I think it's speaks for itself and someone wants to spend their entire vacation at their rental site. We stayed in Palapa Lee and it was beautiful, gorgeous, simply perfect. We brought our own snorkel gear and spent most mornings/days just swimming off the beach there. The owners and the caretakers are wonderful, it was like a big enjoyable family. You knew they were there and could interact with them if you wanted too, or if you didn't, you'd never know they were there. We thought the location was perfect for us as well, we don't like to be in the center of where everything is going on, we like to be a little removed. Our 1st week we didn't have a golf cart, so we got around by taxi and walking, which was fine for us. It's about $7 for a taxi, one way. Week 2 we had a golf cart, it did allow us much more freedom to travel the island at our leisure.

I have to mention the 2 beautiful dogs, Tiffany and Lassie that live on the property as well. Being animals lovers and having to leave ours behind for this trip caused some definite homesickness, but having these 2 characters running around was pure entertainment. Watching these two dogs work the beach when the boats would dock next door was hilarious. I actually witnessed Tiffany lay down on the sand, cross her paws and tilt her head when she saw a woman pull out her camera. I asked Steve why he only fed he Sweetie & his response was Tiffany was being carried around like a Queen, so she didn't need anything. I know he thought we were nuts, but hopefully nuts that he will have back.

We haven't been back home to Cape Cod longer then a couple weeks and we are already planning our next vacation back there next year. We truly feel like we have found our home away from home and a place we could visit on every vacation we take to the island.

Villa Makax is a place you can make your own, whether you want to be out and about and socialize or never talk to a sole. You'll never find another place like this and for the price it's a bargain.

The best food we food was at a place downtown called Barlito's, its on the corner of Hidalgo & Abasolo. The food is awesome and the owners Tiffany and Brad are great.

Thanks for the great memories.
