Perfect Perch

We really enjoyed our stay in this 3rd story condo. It had everything we needed and it was located by a great little snorkeling spot. There were some restaurants nearby and we were able to get groceries and cook some meals as well. The highlight of this condo are the views from the living area and the beautiful rooftop terrace.

Return Customers

We absolutely LOVE this location. The parents were able to do their morning walks and join us on our quiet little beach. Easy parking or taxi access. And our scuba trip picked us up right from the dock next door. Far enough away from all the cruise ships and the best snorkeling right out front. The kitchen and rooftop patio is amazing for us so we didn't have to eat out all the time. Kitchen is very well stocked with appliances and place is just so comfortable. We came back for the second time with more people again because we love it so much!

Cozumel Great!

The “penthouse” was everything they said and more. Condo well stocked, private beach was beautiful and good snorkeling. Tortugas beach bar next door was really good for lunch. We would recommend and return!

Lovely stay at hippie Bobs penthouse. Very clean and spacious. If I had any complaint it was that the pool was cold but the ocean was so nice we didn’t miss it.

Relaxed Family Getaway

Our family of four (2 adults, 2 teens) had a lovely time at this condo, enjoying relaxed, family togetherness afforded with a 3 bedroom fully equipped property. The management team went above and beyond to prepare us for our vacation experience in the details about the property and the island. Moreover, they were very flexible to make accommodations for us as needed. We loved the scenic views right from their living room and having both pool and beach access was incredible. We snorkeled right off their property and spotted a few starfish. We were going to catch a boat for scuba right next door, but met the dive team instead in town for our night dive. We loved Cozumel and hope to be back soon!

Beautiful ocean side location

The condo is on the 3rd floor overlooking pool and ocean. Great views from the wraparound deck for morning coffee. Hammock and hanging chair for lazy days. Rooftop palapa was a hit for us, shaded breezy spot to eat and watch the boats go by till sunset. Several 5 gallon pure water jugs provided was very helpful. Grocery store 15 minutes away had all we needed. And Damien’s recommendations for dinner were spot on. Guido’s and azul Madeira were great.

Very nice, quiet place to stay with a small group

Our group was two adults, two teenagers and one 8 year old. We had very good communications with the property Manager before we arrived and found the property exactly as advertised. We wanted a quiet place away from the crowds and were not disappointed. There was plenty of room for everyone and the views were great. We were very pleased with everything and had no problems and would be happy to go back there.

Hippie Bobs is the way to go!

Great property, right on the beach. Fantastic restaurant/bar right next door with music and jet skis. Recommend renting a car, but taxis would work too. Can’t express enough how clean and well maintained this place is. Damien the property manager will meet all your needs and answer all your questions. Skip the hotels, much better value for your $.

Fantastic location

So happy to rent from the Hunters again. This was our 4th or 5th stay and this location is by far the best. Easy snorkeling right out front, just steps away. The condo is beautifully decorated and the beds slept better than ours at home. Perfect location for a relaxing vacation. Restaurants, shopping and bars all very close. Water sports next door.Thanks again to Bob and Diana.

Great location for IM COZUMEL

We rented scooters for the week and were able to get everywhere we needed to go. On race morning I walked down to transition to drop off nutrition and then hopped on one of the provided buses to get to the swim start. It was perfect.

A fantastic vaction in paradise

My wife and I (+2 tweens) had the opportunity to spend 10 days in this property. We could not be happier. Everything was in top notch shape and the grounds were immaculate. The penthouse offered all the amenities you can think of and was very clean. The communication was the owner was also flawless. I could not recommend this place enough but I'd like to keep it as a secret in order to rent it in the future!

Amazing all Around!!

I have been to Cozumel many times and very familiar with the island. The Penthouse at Paradise Condominiums is one of my new favorite places to stay! The condominium & amenities are great; the grounds are well manicured; the pool and the beach area are top rated. I enjoyed the fact it was between two beach clubs so if we desired extra drinks or eats it was all right there but not so close to invade our privacy. The condominiums are close enough to town for an evening out and also in perfect location for a trip to the other side of the island. Thanks Hippie Bob, Diana and Collette for allowing us to stay at your beautiful paradise.

just what the doctor ordered

I have stayed at Bob & Diane's on several occasions. Everything is as advertised. If you are looking to get away and experience peace and quiet in a beautiful tropical setting, this is the place for you. The walk from the coffee machine to the water front is about 50 feet. The snorkeling off the property is very nice. And it is a delight to have a glass of wine by the pool at night and contemplate who put all those stars up in the sky. There are numerous activities in Cozumel, and the "downtown" dining options are plentiful and delicious no matter what your preference for cuisine. I'll keep coming back.

Why they chose this property

The pristine waters of the Caribbean sea caresses our sandy beach where the swimming, snorkeling & diving are amazing. This is a very private, secluded and quiet area of the Island located next door to the famous Chankanaab Park.

What makes this property unique

The sounds of the ocean waves, the songs of the birds and the sights of the boats and cruise ships that go by...
