About this apartment rental
Welcome to Vista Azul at El Cantil Resort!
Ah, the beautiful Caribbean!
Just sit back on the terrace and watch the boats go by, or layout on the beach, pretend to read, and actually nod off to sleep. Then enjoy swimming in the gorgeous infinity pool, which overlooks the brilliant blue ocean, or maybe choose to snorkel from your dock or even go scuba diving in the matchless Cozumel reefs. There is nothing like Cozumel and it's all yours.
Our Vista Azul Condo is located perfectly!
It sits on the westward side of Cozumel Island and on the south end of Cozumel’s main town of San Miguel. What that means for you is that you can just walk across the street for groceries if you like or amble into town for some of the best cuisines in Mexico.
Our condo is part of the only 5-Star exclusive, luxury oceanfront resort condominium complex in Cozumel. It features the largest living room in the resort. It also features 3 bedroom suites, each with its own ensuite private bath. It offers a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, a spacious, fully furnished dining and living room, and an unparalleled terrace boasting a priceless view. El Cantil is has a sophisticated water refinement system that delivers fresh, soft water to the condo. In addition, our condo has a 6 stage reverse osmosis system with an alkaline water drinking system at the kitchen sink, which offers amazing drinking water. Rest assured that the system is serviced regularly.
You can enjoy our own resort beach and salt-water grotto. There is also an outdoor shower, perfect for rinsing off diving and snorkel gear, as well as a ladder that will take you down to the ocean easily to snorkel or swim.
You can also go adventuring: scuba boats can pick you up at our own private dock; you can visit Mayan ruins, take jungle tours, ride 4-wheel ATVs, go bonefishing or catch blue marlin and all the great sportfish in between. You can explore Cozumel’s world-renown coral reef and marine park.
Rent a Jeep or open-air VW and explore the undeveloped rustic eastern side of the island or the long, sandy beaches on the south side.
Activities include fine dining, scuba diving, local shopping, parasailing, kayaking, boating, deep-sea fishing, ATV and scootering, (Harleys are available for rent as well), bicycling and nearby championship golf.
Vista Azul is on the fourth floor, which means that your ocean view of the Caribbean from the balcony is unobstructed, yet it is still easy to get to the crystal clear water of the Caribbean or the large infinity heated pool by elevator or stairs.
We have 24-hour security and tip-top service- anything you need; optional maid service and laundry service are available at your convenience. Our property service manager, Laura, will take personal care of whatever you need.
This is a quiet building, occupied mostly by owners, many of whom do not even live in Cozumel. This means the beach and pool areas have few other people - it's almost like your very own. Local town people do not have access to your private beach and pool.
The master bedroom and 2nd bedroom have a spectacular waterfront view. They have wall-to-wall floor-to-ceiling high windows. Each room offers private access to the terrace.
Each room has cable TV with a large variety of U.S. channels. Free high-speed internet and local calls to Cozumel. But remember to bring your laptop at your own risk, because you may not want to interfere with your vacation.
Nothing is wanting when you come to Vista Azul. A perfect choice for your vacation. You will love it - everybody does!

Three in suite bedrooms. Everything we needed for our family to get together from the States. Grocery/General Store directly across the street. Taxi service anytime hailed by the porter. The entire area is very walkable and safe.
Good snorkeling off the dock, tons of sea life on an old pier reef marked by an orange buoy. Pool was great. Never saw more than a dozen or so people. Everyone was so friendly. Would rent again!

We just returned to Cozumel after 27 years. The island did not disappoint nor did our wonderful accommodations at El Cantil! Prior to our visit, our host Ed Ohayon was so gracious in helping us with everything from great restaurant recommendations, to helping us with various questions we had prior to our arrival. We also loved that we were in the best hands with Laura, the property manager. She was extremely helpful and made sure that anything we needed or any questions we had were taken care of immediately. A huge thank you to both Ed and Laura! We can't wait to return as after many years away from Cozumel, we have found a great "home" to go back to again!

We really enjoyed our stay in Ed's condo at El Cantil. The property was great and just as advertised. The property manager, Laura, was outstanding and very attentive from the moment we arrived to the day we left. We look forward to staying here again on future dive trips.

We had a wonderful time staying here. There was always someone at the front of the building willing to help with any issues and made the property feel very secure. The location, amenities, and pool were amazing. There isn’t a washer or dryer but you can always go to the local laundry mat. Our goats was very responsive and accommodating to a few hiccups we had during our travels, couldn’t have found a better place!

Loved our stay at El Cantil!! Check in was seamless and Laura was wonderful. The staff/security were friendly and helpful. The view was beautiful and the condo is spacious. Snorkeling was super fun and accessible on the property. Beautiful sunsets from the balcony and/or infinity pool were gorgeous. Easy walking distance to restaurants and grocery store.

The property was absolutely perfect for our family. We had everything we needed, property manager always answered all questions promptly, and overall we really enjoyed our stay. The property was exactly as listed and the location is perfect. The staff always helped get a taxi if necessary, had recommendations on things to do and see, and were very helpful with anything we needed. I highly recommend staying here!

The condo is close to restaurants, shopping and a grocery store is directly across the street. The accommodations were clean, modern and spacious...lots of water pressure! The entire property was well appointed and well kept. The pool area and palapa area were never crowded. The owner and property manager were great to work with and always quick to respond. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and do not hesitate to recommend highly.

This was the perfect place for us. Close to shops/dining and our great dive shop picked us up right on the dock. Will definitely stay here again.

We loved staying here with 2 other couples. A grocery store across the street, scooter rentals 2 blocks away and all the restaurants within walking distance. We loved watching the sunset from our deck or in the pool. Morning coffee is a must on the patio. Felt very safe and secure as security was always around and they were always very helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Everything was easy: booking, communication, check in/out. Condo was spotless and all the facilities and employees were great. Place was as advertised in the description and pictures. Loved the location for easy walk into town, no need for a car. We would taxi to dinner some nights $6 and always walked back (after churros on the square 😎). Pretty empty when we were there which was great. The pool area is showing some age but very clean and all of the employees were great and helpful. We would not hesitate to stay here our next time in Cozumel.

We have been coming to Cozumel for over 20+ years and love the island for many reasons. We chose this property based on its location and views and it did not disappoint!! The owner is top-notch and extremely responsive to any of my questions/needs. The Property Manager set us up with a chef that came to us and cooked us one of the best surf and turf meals we had on the island!!
The week was everything we expected and hoped it would be. Thank you, Ed for letting us stay in your property!

My husband and I chose this El Cantil condo and we highly recommend it! The fully air-conditioned, three-bedroom, 3 en-suite bath condo is well-kept and has spectacular views from 3 rooms!
The long, covered balcony has 3 doors with screens: one from the living room, and two more for two of the large bedrooms. The balcony is furnished with a hammock, lounge chairs, and a patio dining table and chairs. A covered balcony means that even if it's raining, you can relax and dine al fresco while watching the swaying palm trees and hearing the waves. Bliss.
The furnishings are super-comfortable, attractive, and in excellent condition. You'll feel like you're staying in a luxury hotel room with a kitchen, a big hot tub, and pool overlooking the sea. Everything is private for condo guests, including the lounge chairs and grotto steps for snorkeling and swimming in the sea.
The well-appointed, spacious kitchen is open plan with views to the living room and sea.
The location was great! About 10 minutes of walking brings you to the town's restaurants. It's about a 15-minute walk from the Ultramar ferry, or you can grab a taxi from the two nearby grocery stores. One supermarket is directly across the street, and another one is about 2 blocks away. There's also a wine shop a few feet away. So convenient!
And lastly, the owner and manager are friendly and excellent communicators. We had everything we needed while planning, and they were so welcoming and helpful.
We plan to return to this condo with another couple on our next trip to Cozumel! It was a perfect experience for us!

Thank you very much for a great stay. The place was exactly what we expected from the pictures, description and reviews. I highly recommend this place if you'd like to be close to town and also enjoy the incredible sunsets.

This is an outstanding place and condo. Clean, comfortable, all necessary amenities, amazing view, pool and beach area. Perfect for a relaxing trip and centrally located to get to all that Cozumel has to offer.

Condo was simply amazing. Terrific location close to downtown so easy access to restaurants and shopping. The pool & hot tub were wonderful and snorkeling off of the pier was great. We saw tons of fish right there. On site parking was also available but honestly we did not need our car. Grocery stores are right across the street so super easy to get anything you need. Ed, Laura and staff on-site were wonderful and easy to work with. Dive companies do pick up at the facility so recommending doing some checking to make sure you get a good dive company. Not happy with our choice but folks that spent a lot of time there recommended Bottom Time. Would definitely go back for another visit!!

Ed’s flat in El Cantil is what anyone hopes to find when they book a VRBO. Accurate listing, great communication leading up to and including check in, as well as help/support when things arise during the stay. When you arrive, you hope to find an amazing view, a spacious, clean and well-equipped place in a good/safe location. Comfortable beds with a fan and/or A/C that isn’t noisy and actually works is often a bonus. Ed’s flat in El Cantil scores a ten out of ten on every one of those. Ed was very communicative after booking and made sure we knew how to get there and how to check in. Laura greeted us upon our arrival, gave us the rundown of the place, and was amazing when we needed a rental car and some other items that arose during our stay. The security guards and staff were all very friendly and supportive. The unit is spacious and as gorgeous as the view. We’ve stayed in many VRBO’s throughout Europe – our first stop on our first trip to Mexico could not have been a better choice. If you’re searching for a place on Cozumel, I cannot imagine a better place to book.

The condo was perfect for three scuba-diving friends. It was walking distance to restaurants/bars/shops, and the dive shop picked us up at the dock in back. The facilities were great - everything as listed. Service and responsiveness were also top-notch. We look forward to a return trip!

Everything about this property was amazing. Close to restaurants, shopping and the view was spectacular. Pool was beautiful, jump right in the ocean to snorkel and swim. Dive boat picks you right up at private dock. Would definitely go again but for longer.

I stared at the computer for weeks trying to decide which condo to choose… The city or the beach. I was thrilled with the decision I made when I chose this condo. The location was amazing, snorkeling off the dock was better than some of the snorkeling trips we took, and being able to walk to the grocery stores was unbeatable.... my only concern is that we spoiled our teenage kids too much with this beautiful condo... we will definitely be back

My husband and I stayed here with our 4 kids and we loved the space. It’s large and open, perfect for relaxing and hanging out after a long day of fun. Having 3 bathrooms was great for getting ready quickly in the morning and we could easily make breakfast before heading out if we wanted. The grocery store is right across the street, too.
We loved swimming in the reef right off the property and the pool is a delight for sunset. A nice walk to downtown for dinner is pleasant or you can grab a quick (and cheap) cab if you prefer. Overall, it’s a great location because it’s quiet but close to everything you need.
Our whole family enjoyed it and we would love to go back! Thank you for having us!

Fantastic condo! Just as pictured in the ad. You feel like you are right on top of the ocean. Main living area is very spacious. Kitchen has everything you need if you want to cook. Bedrooms are spacious and beds are comfortable.
Mary was very responsive when I did have a few questions, usually getting back to me in an hour or two.
Neighborhood felt very safe and there are a few restaurants within walking distance. Would for sure stay again.

Great stay!
We loved this VRBO! The unit was great for 6 adults and very close to downtown. It was cleaned multiple times throughout the week and a beautiful view! The check in process was smooth and all questions were answered very timely. We would highly recommend this VRBO to others! Thank you for a wonderful stay in beautiful Cozumel!

Better than the pictures!!
Honestly, I was hesitant to write this because I’d like to keep this little gem a secret! EVERYTHING about our stay was outstanding. Every little thing! The staff were helpful without being intrusive, the faculty is clean, thoroughly equipped, perfectly located, and as I suggested, better than the pictures would lead you to believe.
Mary was a pleasure to deal with, communicating in a timely manner. She was extremely helpful and accommodating through these challenging times.
Would I stay again? In a heartbeat! 11 nights wasn’t nearly enough!
Muchas Gracias!!

Beautiful and Convenient
This is a beautiful condo which is located close to many amenities and walking distance to the town centre. The pool and beach area is well kept and has lots of space to accommodate guests. The doormen are friendly and the housekeeping was excellent. The property listing does state there is a private hot tub and has pictures of one on the patio, there isn’t one currently. There was also no soap for the dishwasher or the washer dryer, small inconvenience, but also an easy one for the property owners to remedy for an easier experience. We loved having breakfast on the patio looking out at the ocean and watching the cruise ships come in and we loved watching the sunsets from the pool. Overall we would 10/10 stay at El Cantil again.

Fantastic Stay!
We have stayed at El Cantil before, but first time in this property. It did not disappoint. Easy check in and very friendly staff. The dive shops will pick up and drop off right on the attached pier, weather permitting. Easy walk to town with shops and restaurants. We don't bother to rent a car. Easy walk to the ferry to cross for a dinner and shopping in Playa del Carmen as well. We highly recommend this property.
