Our family of 15 just returned from an incredible 10 day stay at the Secret Jewel Beach Villa and can't stop talking about the fun we had. Even though the house wasn't new it had plenty of space and tons of "Mexican Charm". The EXTRA LARGE grounds, which were lit up at night, made you feel like you were in your own private oasis with your own private staff. There was ample room for everyone to enjoy. The property itself is centrally located on the beach between Cancun and Playa Del Carmen in a gated community with virtually NO PUBLIC access. Even the house was gated which gave us all an extra sense of security. This is one of those rare beaches that didn’t have vendors selling stuff. Privacy Plus!!!! Most of the living was done outside by the pool or under the gazebo that over looked our private beach and ocean. You could see for miles and listen to the waves crashing below. There was a private senote next to the hammocks if you wanted a quiet place to chill or swim. The separate games room and pool were far enough away from the house so those who went to bed early weren’t kept awake by the younger adults who stayed up into the wee hours of the morning. One of our best decisions was to hire the Chef a couple of times. Not only did he prepare two separate meals each day, but his staff cleaned up after each meal. Keep in mind there is a Costco & Walmart in Cancun if you need to shop. Otherwise, Puerto Morelos has two well stocked grocery stores (Aki & Chedraui) just 5 minutes drive north of the house. A rental car would be recommended for this location and is a great way to get around to see all the sights. Check online "driving in Mexico" before you go so you know the basic rules of the road. For those who are looking for the “night life” action, this is not the place for you. This is for people who want to get away from the crowds and enjoy the people you're traveling with. Thank You Daniel & Abraham for all your help, knowledge and hospitality. We truly had a spectacular time.

Had a magical stay at the Sea Jewel Beach Villas, where I celebrated my 40th birthday with eight of my friends. It was the perfect place to chill and connect, and the vibe was just my style. It is not a luxury villa — the house is a bit dated and there are bugs because you are in the jungle —but it is well kept and clean. The grounds were simply amazing. We loved the pool, and the beach-viewing platform. You have direct beach access and just need to walk a few steps away to reach a sandy area where it is easy to go go for a swim. From the photos, I was a bit worried that the beach and ocean would feel closed off, given the gates, but it absolutely was not. We experienced the beach fully from the villa. We also loved the feeling of security that came with a gated villa — we were able to lounge in the pool late at night without feeling like others could access the space. The grounds crew made us feel safe as well. This place is secluded — a bit in the middle of nowhere — so perhaps not an optimal choice for those wanting to be in the heart of town. Also, I gave the owner some feedback that I would have preferred some more proactive communication, particularly around the chef services as I was planning a birthday dinner the evening we arrived. I ended up using Uxata chef services instead, and it was perfect. Thank you, Daniel, for an incredible stay and a magical birthday experience! Tips - Bring ecofriendly sunscreen and bug spray - Bring reusable water bottles — the house has a big water dispenser that you can use to fill your bottles - Either pre-arrange your transportation or rent a car — car rental will likely be cheaper if you plan to go out - Be mindful that the staff on premises do not speak English. You can reach the owners via the app, and they are accommodating - There are dogs on the premises so if you have any aversion, tell the owners in advance so they can be locked up - Bring ziplock bags to house any food you want to keep in your rooms — food attracts ants. We had issues with ants in the bed after food was left in a room. - Be mindful that this is not a luxury accommodation (and nor is it at that price point) — it is completely lovely and magical, but you are in the jungle, there are bugs and the house itself is fairly dated (but clean and comfortable) - Hiring a chef service - either thru the villa or Uxata - is recommended. There are no restaurants “right around the corner” — the closest are about a 15 minute drive away.

The house, beach and pool are as described. The House is big and a good layout. There is an indoor and outdoor kitchen area that is great to sit and have breakfast at. The kitchen isn't updated but is roomy. This trip was for our wedding and we have 14 people stay at this house. We had some issues such as one of the bathrooms in an upstairs room smelled so bad we had to get it fixed before our guest could sleep in the room. There was also a BIG ant problem. One guest was sleeping in the room by the outdoor BBQ area and she woke up to ants crawling all over her and her baby. The baby was bitten so bad we had to take him to the doctor. On the last night at the house there was a wedding at the chapel and half of the house lost power for most of the night. So there was no AC or power for the last night of our stay. I would say for the price we expected more. We wouldn't stay here again.

We stayed here with 4 families (8 adults and 9 kids) and we truly had a wonderful time. The staff was great! They cleaned our bedrooms, house , and did all the dishes every day. Also provided us with clean towels for the beach and to bath when we needed them. The chef was what made our trip an A+ experience. I’d highly recommend that you pay the extra fee for the chef, the food was great! The pool and beach are also just perfect. Their are areas to snorkel or swim. Daniel, the owner stopped in to check on us from time to time. He truly cares about your trip and wants to make sure your satisfied. We were! I’d come back for sure.

A week later and we still can't stop talking about how amazing our stay was at this home. My family and I referred to the home as a compound - SO much land/space for you to enjoy - even comes with your very own cenote :) Everything was wonderful. The pool was heated, the beach steps away, the housekeepers and grounds manager, Freddy, was attentive and immediately responsive if we ever needed anything. Not to mention, the owner, Daniel, was also quick to respond to any questions we had. The only recommendation on improvement is supplying the kitchen with more pots and pans. That is seriously the only recommendation. Everything was excellent - and we couldn't say enough about the chef. We had them come 3 days and it was worth every single penny. I hope Daniel never stops using that particular company for all future visitors sake! I would highly recommend renting a car and be mentally prepared: you're in the middle of the jungle. Bring your mosquito spray! Daniel - thank you so much for everything. This vacation will truly stay in our memories forever

Amazing and soothing family gathering unique experience. A true secret jewel in the sea. The staff was absolutely accommodating, delightful and always available. Daily maintenance and cleaning service. Optional Chef service, this is an absolute must, excellent food, presentation and top service, much better than nearby restaurants. Chef services includes cleaning all dishes, kitchen, etc. Location is unique, private beach front, available boards, kayaks, etc. Great pool too. Distance from pool to beach less than 50ft, what a joyful and freedom experience for all. Clean room and linen, great air conditioning, WiFi and cell coverage. Owner Daniela checked on us a couple of times making sure we had all we needed, we greatly appreciate it. Nearby recommended water parks such as Xcaret and Xplor, both great! Falling asleep hearing the ocean waves, waking up with birds chirping, opening your eyes with a gorgeous ocean front sunrise…. priceless. can’t wait to go back!

We were so happy with not only the location, but the house, the rooms, and the staff! The guys make us feel at home and we had the best vacation playing pool volleyball, watching the sunsets, and enjoying homemade food!

We had a group of 26 and had such an amazing time! The place is tucked away just enough to make you feel like you are secluded. The homemade meals, the pool, private beach access, and staff were COMPLETELY WONDERFUL!

Very relaxing, very quiet with plenty of room for beach activities. The pool was just the right size with plenty of lounge chairs and fresh towels. All facilities were well kept and cleaned everyday. Our Bartender and Server Arturo was FANTASTIC. Would Love to have one of his special Margaritas or Pina Coladas right now. Every request asked of him was done with a smile. Our Chef Ismael was also FANTASTIC. Every meal was very good, all food cooked very well. Heck, he even cooked late breakfast with Arturo's help for some folks who got up late for some reason?? Would we Love to go back, MOST DEFINITELY!!

Loved this beautiful getaway! The property is beautiful with such easy access to the gorgeous beach. The staff was so warm, friendly, and extremely attentive to our needs. Was there with a group of 20, and we had plenty of bedding options and room to spread out. Appreciated that the owner checked in on us a few times to ensure that all was to our liking. Would highly recommend.

10/10 would recommend. Amazing experience! Had enough room for 20+ people and honestly had room for more. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. My mouth waters reminiscing about Ismael's cooking and don't even get me started about Arturo. Arturo was the absolute best. The property was conveniently located near shops, restaurants, and other attractions. I have not stopped raving about the trip and tell everyone that it is a MUST for staying in Mexico.

Extremely beautiful property, pristine beach, very friendly staff of folks, comfortable bedding accommodations, and some nice dogs. 5/5 would stay again.

We could not have been more impressed with our stay here. The property is beautiful, with great views, clean rooms, and an excellent staff that made sure we had everything we needed. If we ever come back to vacation in this area we will definitely try to stay here again.

LOVE EVERYTHING. The property is even MORE gorgeous than the photos, if you can imagine. We fell in love with the place. We had a group of about 20 and everyone was very happy with every aspect of the accommodations. You WILL fall in love with the staff- they are all so sweet and the food was delicious. Dont even get me started on Arturo's Pina Coladas... 5+ stars for sure

Gorgeous property and villa, incredibly accommodating. Daniel the owner gave us a tour immediately upon arrival and needless to say we were impressed. The pool area is fantastic, as is the adjacent game room and the access to the playa is easy and convenient. The food was perfect; Arturo and the chef Ismael made certain we ate like kings. Conveniently located for quick travel to nearby beach cities and nightlife. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing (or party-style) getaway on the beach.
