Sweet and quiet casita

Right on the bay with everything you need. We enjoyed snorkeling (kayaks and equipment provided) and swimming right off the shore. Luis was very helpful and easy to reach. For a small fee he even got groceries for us. The room itself was clean and had everything you could need with the minor exception that only soap was provided in the bathroom so bring shampoo, lotions, etc. Great stay!

Wonderful property steps from the beach

The villa was truly a lovely find and the grounds were well maintained throughout. Luis, the property manager, was extremely helpful -- even waiting up for us when we arrived at 1:00 am after an air travel delay. We stayed in a second floor studio with a kitchen and lovely little balcony. Great breezes through the many windows enveloping the space. Lounge chairs, hammocks, kayaks, and snorkeling gear are available for free for guests at the beach and the small pool provides a nice opportunity to cool off. Would highly recommend renting a car to see the cenotes and ruins, and because there are limited dining options nearby. Suggest stocking up on groceries at the Selecto Chedraui in Tulum (about 15 minutes by car) at the start of your stay. The only downside was the excessive seaweed that is a pervasive issue for many beaches in the area and out of the control of the villa owners.

Casa playa maya unit 2

Lovely tiny casita near the beach, on the 2nd floor, just behind a larger house that is right on the beach. This little unit has screened windows on all 4 sides and feels like a jungle treehouse. Great ventilation and no need for A/C. Louis could not have been a more accommodating caretaker, and really added to our enjoyment of the property. He stocked our casita with food and drink before we arrived, and supplied us with snorkel equipment, and even a hat since my husband forgot his! The casita, beachfront, walkways, are all impeccably clean. If you do not have a car, there are two accessible restaurants, and Louis can help with arranging a taxi for further outings. We did a bird tour with Mexico Kan Tours. Miguel with Amor Aves was a phenomenal guide. Our short stay at Casa Playa Maya was perfect.

Romantic and Tranquil

We had a wonderful visit to Casa Playa Maya! The Casita was perfect for us and we loved having the windows open while the sea breeze flowed through! Luis and family were very kind. The kitchen had everything we needed, we just wish the refrigerator was quieter... Soliman Bay is lovely, we will visit again when there is hopefully no seaweed! The location is close to so many cool Cenotes. The nearby restaurant Oscar & Lalo is delicious! We hope to come back with our whole family next time.

About the host

Hosted by Glynis Fleming

Michael and I purchased Casa Playa Maya from it's original owner (Bill) in 2016. Bill built Casa Playa and was the 2nd property on the bay some 25 years ago. Bill wanted to retire and travel the world so we took over as owners...one of the best things we have ever done. We really want to share this amazing location with others and make memorable holidays and memories. Most of our guests are return visitors and welcome you back and new guests. We have extensive experience in construction and had the skills and resources to do major improvements to the property. This includes a complete refresh on existing Casitas 1 and 2. A new Casita Building with units 3 and 4. A brand new beach front Villa. Additional upgrades are new septic, water, swimming pool, landscaping, outdoor furnishings and our own internet tower. What more could anyone want and we want our guests to come away feeling like they have truly escaped!

Why they chose this property

Soliman Bay remains the best kept secret on the Riviera Maya and we feel blessed to have discovered it.

What makes this property unique

This is the polar opposite of an all inclusive resort. There are no crowds, but Tulum is close enough for some night life, great award-winning restaurants, mayan ruins and other attractions. Soliman Bay hosts only 48 properties and sits on the 2nd largest reef in the world. The beach and water have lovely white sand, the water is warm and aquamarine. Because the bay is uncrowded, guests can expect to see lots of sea life like sea turtles, rays, tropical fish, crayfish and more. Our community operates the Bahai-Soliman Turtle Protection Program and we hatch over 3000 baby turtles on the bay each year and it's climbing. These are only a few special things...the rest are you...when you visit.
