Some might find Villa Zazil too quiet, for us was a perfect location.
Within an our of a city with everything you need, yet far enough that you are isolated. Incredible beaches that you can quite literally see for miles and at the same time not see another sole. The solitude and tranquility for us was exactly what we sought, and were richly rewarded. Everything save a couple of small appliances (a toaster and coffee maker) is exactly what is represented on the property description, and I must say that these were delivered within hours of our requesting them which lead me to believe they were w simple oversight.
Xama Junior, Xama Senior, Bullie, Cecil, and of course Saul were the most accommodation and friendly hosts we have ever had the good fortune of renting from. On a minute's notice someone was there to deal with any issue we had, and truthfully what we encountered as issues were few and minor, and as I said rectified immediately.
Two doors down directly on the beach is the Bella Mar restaurant, owned and operated by a wonderful couple, the food was outstanding, the service was as though you were in a friend's home.
There are ruins within 1/2 hour's drive, definitely worth taking in. We went in the middle of the day and for three hours we had the entire site to ourselves.
Overall I would have to say that this area as a whole is the most well kept secret in Mexico, and fear that if it receives too many reviews like this we will find ourselves in another Tulum, once a quiet romantic place to go and now the streets are now so packed it is difficult to walk them. I hope Telchac remains the way it is for years to come, a sleepy village!
We enjoyed the property so much in fact we are already planning to return next year, so that if that isn't the best recommendation I can give I don't know what is.
Xama, thank you for sharing your home with us, we look forward to seeing you and your family again next year.
