Eight of our family, middle aged parents, three young adult offspring and their spouses, stayed at Villa Princessa and found it very accommodating. It could easily house 12. We originally booked for 10, but one son and wife had to cancel due to their expecting a child soon. It is a large rambling house that affords a good common area for us all to be together, but spacious bedrooms and bathrooms for each couple to have our own space. It is close enough to San Miguel for it to be a quick and cheap taxi commute, but far enough out to have a little privacy and open space. The ocean front is very nice. Many of our party snorkeled or swam from it daily. The view, especially at sunset, is classic Caribbean. Victor helped us. We didn't see him much because we were out and about daily. But, he checked in on us and was very courteous. The maid service was good too. And, a team cleaned the pool while we were there. One of them even gave me a ride into town as he was leaving. We would definitely stay at Villa Princessa again if we choose another Cozumel vacation. Regarding comments from the April, 2015, negative review. Either we perceived things very differently, or substantial upgrades happened between our close visits. 1. The curtains are in ok shape. They are not room darkening. But the house has exterior shutters that are completely room darkening. 2. The beds and pillows were fine, though firm. 3. The refrigerator was adequate for our needs. Mostly though, we only ate breakfast there. 4. Our ladies did get some bug bites outdoors. But, we checked for bed bugs and found none. 5. I don't know if we used the coffee maker. I don't drink coffee personally, though some of us do. 6. I didn't see a safe. Perhaps it was there. 7. We did not use the pool much, preferring the ocean. When we did use it, it was a nice feature, and very clean. 8. The furniture in the living room and kitchen was comfortable enough and in good shape. The dining table is huge.

Villa Princesa will make you feel like a Princesa. The views, the snorkeling right off the deck, and the fantastic sandy hangout all make you feel pampered. Great place for getting away with friends, and plenty of room to cook, eat and enjoy life. It's a close walk to town to Taqueria El Pique for tacos or happy hour (but you can't beat the elevated deck for your own happy hour, right at Villa Princesa).

We were a party of 6 adults, 8 children ages 8-14 and 2 infants. We arrived earlier than the 3:00 check-in time and were allowed to store our luggage and enjoy the pool area until the housekeepers had the house ready for our 1 week stay. Victor was at the airport to meet us and show us to the house as promised. He was very helpful and answered all questions we had. The housekeepers were in daily and did a very good job. I am generally not a complainer and grateful that we have the means to take a couple of nice vacations each year. I am writing this review not because we didn't have a great vacation, but because this property really needs some TLC. I think the rates reflect this. It's kind of "you get what you pay for".This property was as described for the most part however most all areas are in desperate need of upgrades. There was plenty of everything, but the majority of it was in very used shape. The refrigerator is extremely small for a house this size for this many people. The coffee maker is on it's last breath and starts when and if it feels like it. Hot water was an issue, but the weather was nice and warm so wasn't as bad as it could have been. The entire pool deck is tile and extremely slippery when wet. The beds were comfortable, but the pillows were like rocks. The living room furniture is falling apart. The drapes in the bedrooms are literally shredding and can not be opened or closed. The safe is very-very old and operates with an old key only. The small, old gas grill is no longer a gas grill, but is a briquette grill now. For the most part.......everything is old, very used and needs to be replaced sooner than later. I love Cozumel and will vacation here again in the near future. I would not consider renting this property again unless the owners put some money into upgrading this property.
