About

We’re excited you’re here

I’m Valerie, Canada and Mexico are where I call home. Over the past 25 years, I’ve had the pleasure of coming to Puerto Morelos, witnessing its transformation from a quaint fishing village to the vibrant community it is today. Casa Maya, a beloved landmark in the area, was originally built by the first owners of a local bookstore, and I am the proud to be its second owner. You might recognize Casa Maya from the feature on an episode of House hunters international!

At Casa Maya, we have created an environment, designed to promote healing, relaxation, and a deep sense of well-being for all our guests. It brings me great joy to welcome you here, and I hope your stay is both restorative and memorable.

My family of 12 rented this spectacular property over Christmas for 10 days with a casita and we LOVED this beautiful property, comfort in every space, great location, high end beds and linens, fully stocked kitchen for preparing meals, beautiful outdoor patio with dipping pool and your own private beach. The owner was attentive with any issues and ensured a high quality standard was met before our arrival, can't wait to go back!!!!!

Our stay was delightful. Home is really open and spacious, everything was clean and had nice high ceilings. Owners were very responsive and did their best to help. Any small issues we had were resolved promptly. The beach was also pretty close and we had fun biking to it as well. Overall, I would recommend this property if you’re looking for a peaceful, relaxing stay.

Great relaxing stay at this beautiful property. House was very spacious and the outdoor space and pool topped off our stay. The location is very good 5 mins from Trader Joe's, WholeFoods & Mercato (Shops & Restuarants) and less then 10-15mins from several beaches.

Food Tour

Food Tour

You don't need me to tell you that the food in Mexico is great, but it's really great in Puerto Morelos. Particularly seafood-based delicacies like ceviche and fish tacos. One of the best things to do in Puerto Morelos is to sample as many local dishes as possible! I highly recommend joining a Riviera Maya Food Tour. They run two tours in Puerto Morelos (lunch and dinner), and you'll sample dishes from little restaurants, taquerias, street carts, and cantinas. It's around 2.5 hours, and you'll learn how the locals like to dine and all the essential dishes to try. First, catch a colectivo heading north to Cancun from the highway stop just outside town (look near the main entrance by the big Chedraui supermarket). They run frequently and cost about 30 pesos. Once you're in Cancun, grab a taxi or hop on a local bus to Puerto Juárez Ferry Terminal, where boats to Isla Mujeres leave every 30 minutes or so. The ferry takes around 20 minutes, and the return ticket is about 580 pesos. Once you're on the island, rent a golf cart or bike and go beach-hopping - Playa Norte is hands down one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen. Shallow, clear water. Powdery white sand.
PUERTO MORELOS NATIONAL REEF PARK

PUERTO MORELOS NATIONAL REEF PARK

Puerto Morelos Reef National Park, part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, was designated a protected area in 1998. The Mesoamerican Barrier Reef is the second largest barrier reef in the world and the largest in the Western Hemisphere. The reef’s proximity to Puerto Morelos’ shore and protected status provide for some of the most accessible and highest quality reef snorkeling in the region. There are over 50 activities on offer, including swimming in underground rivers, exploring caves, and cultural performances. There are lots of ticket options depending on whether you need transport and when you visit, so check the website for prices. Xcaret Park is open every day from 8:30 AM-10:30 PM.
Botanical Garden

Botanical Garden

Dr. Alfredo Barrera Marín Botanical Garden is just a 10-minute taxi ride from Puerto Morelos. It's a fun and fascinating place to spend an afternoon when you're not swimming in the sea and cenotes. Opening in 1982, this botanical garden is one of the largest in Mexico. It encompasses the last patch of preserved forest between Cancun and Playa del Carmen. Naturally, the mission of this botanical garden is to conserve local and regional flora. There are over 300 species of cacti, palm trees, and more growing on this lush 160-acre woodland. There's also a walking trail to a ruined ancient Mayan site. It's open 8:00 AM-4:00 PM from Monday to Friday. The entrance fee for foreign visitors is around 500 pesos. If you don't have a car, no problem. Colectivos leave from the same highway stop just outside town and can drop you near the turn-off to your cenote of choice. Just tell the driver where you're heading (we liked Cenote Verde Lucero) and they'll let you out at the right spot. From there, it's usually a short walk into the jungle. Verde Lucero had zip lines, platforms to jump off, and not too many people when we visited. It cost about 300 pesos to get in, and that included life jackets. Refreshingly cold water, shady trees, and no screaming resort kids.
Tulum

Tulum

Tulum is a great day trip from Puerto Morelos for ancient Mayan ruins, lush mangrove jungles, and upmarket bars and restaurants. It's 97 km/60 miles from Puerto Morelos, which is approximately a 90-minute drive. El Castillo is part of a 1,000-year-old UNESCO World Heritage Site that includes Chichen-Itza. It's such an important historic monument, and it sits in a beautiful coastal location. The entrance fee is currently 365 pesos, and it's open 9:00 AM-5:00 PM daily. Otherwise, check out Tulum's beaches (like Playa Paraiso) and cool cafes.
