We had four adults and 2 kids (20 months and 4 months). Martin was extremely responsive to all of my messages before and during our stay. We had Mercedes do all of our cooking. The meals were fantastic with plenty of food and a good variety. I’d say having the private chef was a highlight of the trip. That, and the pool. The grounds are expansive and incredibly landscaped providing lots of shade around the pool and blocking the winds that were pretty strong down at the beach. The walk to the beach isn’t bad, but it does get a little tiring carrying chairs and everything else down there and then finding a good spot to sit where the water is nice. Ultimately we chose to stay at the pool where it was no effort to go out and relax.

My girlfriends and I rented Martin's home in late September for a five-day girls’ trip and were completely blown away by the home, the beaches, and the incredible cooking by chef Mercedes! We were a group of 9 adults, and there was more than enough room for all of us to be comfortable. The house was clean and well furnished with plenty of privacy from other homes/hotels; it has 2 kitchens, multiple indoor and outdoor seating/lounging spaces and a huge pool (with floats/rafts!) that we enjoyed and spent a lot of time in. The house was conveniently located for our group as we spent most of our time in town (Playa del Carmen), at the beach or in the pool, aside from a day trip to Tulum. It was roughly a 30 minute drive from the Cancun airport, as well as the main Playa del Carmen downtown area. As soon as we booked our stay, Martin emailed our group a lot of informational documents about what to do, what to expect, etc. However, we found that the taxi drivers had a hard time locating the house, so I’d recommend printing the instructions provided from Martin and/or requesting clear directions in advance. The beach is a very short walk from the house and is beautiful and not crowded! We went to the beach almost every day and enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and warm, clear ocean. The highlight of the trip was definitely the chef, Mercedes! She can be booked beforehand through Martin, and you can choose the meals you want - we did breakfast every day and 2 dinners. Mercedes' cooking is beyond delicious, and she went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and full for each meal she cooked – from fresh guacamole to homemade tortillas and tamales and margaritas to ceviche, Mercedes’ cooking is a cost-effective and delightful option that made our trip extra special. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay and Martin was extremely responsive before, during and after the trip. I highly recommend this home for a big group visiting Playa del Carmen! Big thanks to Martin, Mercedes and Isai for making our trip memorable :)

We had the most amazing weekend at Martin's villa in Playa Paraiso! The house was beautiful, plenty of space for a group of 8 with extra room for more if others wanted to join. We had hired the chef for all of our breakfasts and dinners and Mercedes cooking was delicious and went above and beyond for every meal. Isai, Martin's assistant was available and responsive for every request I had. Isai made our stay so easy, replenishing the groceries and drinks we asked for, setting up taxis and helping us with anything we needed! The outdoor areas had a ton of seating options, the pool was amazing and the beach was a short walk from the home. The house stayed cool from AC and all of the beds were very comfortable. The other villa was not rented so we had the entire property to ourselves. We all cannot wait to come back and will recommend this home to anyone and everyone!

Martin and the property were fantastic hosts for our entire stay. The house is amazing, and the staff was so accommodating. I highly HIGHLY recommend Mercedes to do your shopping/cooking. She was the highlight of the trip making authentic Mexican food for us 3x/day for our group of 9 adults and 5 children. Definitely want to come back here. Thankyou to everyone that made this trip so memorable!

This vactaion was quite unusual. We were originally scheduled to be here April 2020 but due to Covid-19 we needed to adjust our dates. That was no problem with Martin. We booked for October 2020. Getting ready packing and a hurricane was due to hit the area where we were going. Martin kept in touch with us faithfully and not until the Thursday before we were leaving did we find out it all was a go!!!! Due to Covid-19 there were still some things closed and we still took all precautions. That did not stop us at all from having an amazing time at this villa. Martin met us on arrival and toured us through the area and the house. The grounds on the property are amazing! So many plants, trees and so green! The pool beautiful! The house was huge, plenty of room and so clean. We were very happy with our choice. Martin was a tremendous help throughout the entire time from the booking until we arrived. He went beyond our expectations and provided excellent attention to our needs. I don't think there was anything he wouldn't have done for us. We decided as a group to go with the semi-inclusive which was great. We had Mercedes as our Chef for the week and we were so happy we did. Her meals were exceptional. We had asked for meals she would like to prepare and we had some of the best mexican food ever! She was also kind to meet our needs for anything special. We did not leave many leftovers, that's for sure! The beach is a very short walk and we were able to enjoy an almost empty beach due to closings of the some of the resorts. The beach is clean, water had some sargassum but that did not stop us from enjoying time in the ocean. The villa was kept clean for us the entire week. We all did pitch in and helped Mercedes when meals were finished to clean up. There are several places to sit and relax and sitting by the pool was wonderful! I would love to go back eventually and I want to thank Martin and his staff for giving us a wonderful vacation!

We had the wonderful experience of staying at the villa from Feb. 14 to Feb. 22. We were a party of 10 adults and 2 children and the purpose of our stay was to get married on the beach in Mexico. Martin and his crew did a great job setting up on the beach and back at the villa for our special meal and dance. To begin with Martin was is a fantastic host and had everything organized and set up at the villa when we arrived just the way we hoped, they went above and beyond what we expected. Martin came every day to make sure everything was to our satisfaction and then left, except our wedding day when he stayed around to make sure our wedding day went off without a hitch including driving the bride and her party to the beach, which was a nice surprise. We had left everything in the hands of Martin and the flowers, cake and set up was exactly like we hoped if not better. Martin made suggestions on how to save money and where to go for some good experiences which was greatly appreciated. To say Martin was a fantastic host would be a large understatement. From the time we opened the gate to enter the villa we were extremely happy as the facilities were exactly as listed on the web page if not better. The heated pool was fantastic and we were in it at all times through the day and night. The gardeners kept the grounds spotless, coming almost everyday to make sure it was clean before everyone even got up. The bedrooms are all a good size and we asked to have all the beds set up as kings and they were. The grounds are nicely treed so you can have sun or shade anytime of the day. With 6 bathrooms there wasn't any problem getting ready on the wedding day and there was enough hot water for everyone. We had the cleaning staff come every second day and they kept the interior spotless for us. We were fortunate to have Mercedes (the chef) cook breakfast and dinner for us and it was worth every cent, the meals were fantastic and there was no shortage of food, even leftovers we used for lunch. The meals were different everyday and Mercedes cleaned up after, she became like a member of the family and we wanted to take her home. I'm running out of space so I will close by saying if you are thinking of staying here you are not making a mistake as it is a great villa and the people go above and beyond to make sure you have a great stay and we all highly recommend this property, you won't be disappointed.

We are a growing multigenerational family that takes an annual vacation. There were 11 of us, 5 children, 8 months, 3,5,7,9 and parents and grandparents. Martins villa was perfect for us. I will say that we enjoyed the pool immensely, it was wonderful, with the shallow area for the small children, it really worked out well. Martin was so nice as I asked him a hundred questions and opinions. Several of us rented the fishing boat that Martin suggested and caught Mahi which we thoroughly enjoyed eating. We also hired the chef for 3 nights and the food was amazing, totally worth it and would do it more nights next time. We rented a catamaran out of Puerta Adventuras and had a wonderful few hours snorkeling and seeing the turtles and sting rays. We went to Xcaret one day , pay attention to the reviews, go to the river in the afternoon, the morning is so crowded, it almost seems like if you don't know what you are doing, which we didn't , they corral you into the area for the river first. Wait for the crowds to diminish and go to the river later in the day. We swam with the dolphins, and we all loved that. The beach area was nice and a place to headquarter as some went on their own adventures.Be careful of the ticket prices, they are all over the place in cost. We bought the majority of our groceries at the Wal Mart in Playa del Carmen. It was a large nice store and had everything we were looking for. We shopped the first day at the store closest to the villa and it was really crowded and we thought that the selection was poor. We went to the Wal Mart in Playa the next day.We did the tequila tasting that Martin recommended and that was a good time as well. We rented a van and were happy we did, we had considered using taxis but with all of us the van worked out perfect. To close, Martin was a great host we had a wonderful time , his villa was perfect.

Great property for a large group the yard and pool were fantastic!!!!

Martin's property was beautiful and easily housed our three families. Veronica and Mercedes, the cooks, were amazing. The general home atmosphere was incredibly comfortable and the food was delicious! We didn't get sick of eating the same cuisine three meals a day every day because it was just that good. I highly recommend getting the all-inclusive package, because it truly made our stay that much better. The pool area and rooftop hammocks were great for relaxation, and the beaches behind the house are stunning. Overall, our family and friends had a wonderful time and highly recommend this property and experience for anyone interested!

Our group of families had a wonderful time at this absolutely beautiful place. The gardens were luscious and great for staying cool. The pool was a huge hit with the kids, and perfect for days when the beach was too windy and waves too big. The add-on chef services were totally worth it! The food prepared by Mercedes was delicious and very accommodating for our mostly vegetarian group. The owner Martin was very prompt, responsive, and helpful. We definitely recommend getting a rental car, as there are many places to explore in the Maya Riviera but all are a bit of a drive from the villa's location. Still, even with a bit more driving than we would have liked, it was totally worth it to come home to this paradise!

We just got back after a several-night stay at the Villa, and we had such an amazing time! The grounds were beautiful. There were two kitchens, one for guests and one for the chefs to use when preparing meals (optional). The air-conditioning was functional and strong. We had seven children, including a couple of 1-year-olds, so we moved some of the nice ceramics to nothing got broken. The pools were excellent, with the double warm shallow pool particularly great for the young kids. The beach was beautiful (despite a good bit of seaweed) and was only a short (2-minute?) walk away. All-in-all, the villa was perfect for our group, and was made even more spectacular by Mercedes' delicious guacamole, margaritas, and authentic Mexican food! Highly recommend!

Take your pick: Lush, private garden areas sans swimming pool or quiet indoor comfort. Allow your mind to drift. Or laugh, chat, and make plans for an excursion-- walk the beach, kayak, go into town, explore cenotes. Content and happy being together or being alone. Perfect location, less than 30 minutes to the airport, yet secluded within this popular, beautiful tourist destination.

This was really the trip of a lifetime for our family of 14...three generations...and something for everyone. The villa is beyond amazing...beautifully landscaped, plenty of room for meals for large groups and privacy with the six bedrooms, and the pool is the jewel of the property. We spent so much time enjoying the pool and waterfalls that it was hard to leave the property for sightseeing. Martin stops by frequently to check on things and gave us great advice about sights, restaurants, directions...anything we needed. We took most of our dinners and some of our breakfasts at the villa, and Mercedes and Sulmi are amazing cooks. We all agreed that the best meals we had in Playa del Carmen were at home. I can't recommend the villa enough. Our stay was perfect! Thank you, Martin! Marlana Valdez

Great food, house and pool. We highly recommend Martin and the wonderful cooks. Very accommodating, safe, and relaxing. We will be back.

Great location for a family reunion or large get -together. Large rooms, very updated kitchens and bathrooms. Always plenty of hot water even with 9 of us showering. Very quiet, safe location. Short walk to swimmer-friendly beach. Beautifully manicured grounds. Tons of comfortable outdoor seating. Large pool and whirlpool which our family used every day. Very clean, well stocked kitchens. Owner is very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend hiring a car as location is between Puerto Morelos and Playa Del Carmen.

We started planning this vacation a year in advance knowing we would probably never undertake such a trip again with the kids and grandkids. Traveling with 7 to 9 adults and 6 children aged 10 to 8 months was challenging but I believe we found the best host possible in Señor Martin Bossler. His help was most welcome as we decided where to visit and which sites to see. We were glad to have him available to answer questions and lend his advice. The convenience of the chef service which we used almost every evening of our visit was really appreciated. The house and grounds were spacious and well maintained and the 6 bedrooms gave everyone plenty of room to spread out. The kids loved the pool and probably spent more time there than at the beach. Playa Paraiso was a 2 minute walk out the front gate and we even hiked south to Playa Maroma several times- guessing about 1.5 miles. We did rent a car for the entire stay and sometimes a van to get our crew to Tulum, Coba, and Akumal. I'm not sure if taxis would have been more economical but we did seem to go to the grocery about every other day so it was convenient to have a vehicle. Definitely a wonderful property and perfect for a large family group!

Martin was a gracious host; always stopping by to check on things to ensure all was in order. Short walk to the beach makes this a perfect location ... conveniently less than 30 mins from airport.

Well maintained and spacious villa for our family of 11. Located between Cancun and Playa Del Carmen. Short walk to a white sandy beach. We had chef services for 4 meals and she cooked exceptionally tasty traditional Mexican food. Highly recommend this service. The resorts adjacent to the property offered para sailing and joy riding on an inflated banana tube. Martin the owner lived in a separate house and was available for questions and recommendations. We took up his offer of renting a boat and snorkeling a short distance off the coastline. The reef was fantastic. We rented the villa at the end of July and were fortunate to be there when the whale sharks were off the coast. Some of our more adventurous family members took a 45 minute boat ride and went swimming with the whale sharks. The pool was the perfect setting for family time and relaxing. The outside of the house is beautiful, with tropical landscaping and plenty of sitting areas. All in all, one of the best rentals we have found for our group.

It's as nice as it looks! Martin and his staff are wonderful and very accommodating. The villa and grounds are incredibly well kept, clean and comfortable. If you like to have your meals prepared for you, I can't imagine the local restaurants being any better. We really enjoyed the pool area and the beach, which is only a block away. The property is conveniently located about halfway between the airport and Playa Del Carmen. We will definitely keep this property in mind for future gatherings.

A group of 12 of us spent a week at this beautiful villa. The home was clean and spacious with all amenities provided including boogie boards, umbrellas, beach chairs and towels. The gardens were meticulously maintained, plenty of outdoor seating areas, and the pool was a big hit with the kids. Martin was a great host, and was always eager to assist and provide helpful information. We had a fully prepared meal one of the nights, and it was wonderful! We felt safe while staying here as it is a gated community. We highly recommend this property, and would definitely stay again. Thank you Martin!

Unparalleled Villa, best every we spent our vacation together, grandparents, Kids and grand children. Spectacular property and the setting is absolutely peaceful but yet so close to all attractions and Town The kids enjoyed them sell on the sandy shores of the Caribbean, using the sand toys, Boogie boards and more to have a blast. We enjoyed just hanging out and relaxing in the many different seating areas true out the villa a, taking an afternoon nap on the Hammocks on the roof top or just relaxing around the Stunning pool area. We loved the meals prepared by the chef, authentic homemade Mexican cuisine, they even make the tortillas fresh by hand, what a tread . We can’t even start to describe the topical garden, unbelievable and so peaceful and relaxing. The owner welcomed us personally and made sure everything is to our standards and in perfect, clean conditions. Super knowledgeable host, check on us daily put never intrusive, so kind and helpful. Never did we expect such a service and such a Beautiful property, where we just had everything we would have needed to enjoy ourselves to the fullest. Thank you, Thank you for one of the best vacations ever.

We spent our family vacation in January at this spacious, one of a kind Villa. Stunning and amazing property much more than we would ever have expected. This tropical Oasis is just perfect and all of us, 14 in total enjoying every minute of our stay. The chef and food was outstanding and I recommend using the chef services for all dinners and breakfast. What a Gem of Villa, the beach is just beautiful, almost like private, we where relaxing in front of the ocean and enjoyed watching the kids. We enjoyed our times around he beautiful pool and relaxed in the hammocks and High end furnishings. The owner is such a great host and made sure to provide us with so many helpful money saving suggestions. The villa has so much space that we never felt at any time grouted in any area, spotless and clean, maid service is excellent and the ladies and staff are so kind. We can wait to be back next year

The villa was beautiful! It was very spacious, clean and close to the spectacular beaches! My whole family loved our stay. Martin was a very accommodating host that made sure our refrigerator was stocked with everything we requested upon arrival. He also gave us the option to have the chef come and cook delicious, authentic Mexican food for us which we opted for 3 nights of our stay and she was FANTASTIC!

This was a beautiful property. Our family of 9 came to spend the holidays and were pleased with every amenity. Martin, the owner could not have been more helpful. He helped us with travel arrangements, Dr.s, and provided us with excellent cooks, he had the house stocked with our favorite foods, beach chairs and boogie boards. The home is large and comfortable for large groups. It is private which allows the family quiet time together either inside or out. The beach is just steps from the house and provides all the water sports you could want. There are large resorts nearby so if you want other amenities, like a massage on the beach it is yours. Taxi's are easily available and many other site seeing attractions are nearby. We enjoyed the ruins, catamaran tour, snorkeling, the Cenote' and dinner in Playa Del Carmen, but there are many things to do and see not mentioned here. Martin did is utmost to insure a pleasant stay, and having stayed in several vacation rentals I would give this property a 9 out of 10. Martin has plans for improving the property and it will definitely be a 15 on the scale when that is finished. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a large group, quiet, private, accommodating home.
