“We are returning next year”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We had a very enjoyable stay in Casa Juanita #3 of Abbey del Sol, Jan 7-14 2012…so much so that we made a reservation to do it all again next year. CJ-3 is an upstairs 2-bedroom apartment with a comfortable living room, 2 comfortable queen beds, beautiful (fully furnished) kitchen, dining room for 6, computer desk, side room with futon, and attractive patio. The three baths (2 with showers) were more than we needed, but they could be a blessing for a large group. We enjoyed the creative, tastefully appointed surroundings. Personal touches were everywhere.

This was our first visit to Puerto Morelos, and we found the town pleasant and to provide excellent value for the money. The number & quality of restaurants are such that there is little need for a kitchen. Breakfasts for 2 are typically 190 pesos + tip, and dinners for 2 are 280-400 pesos, including drinks. It is helpful, though, to have some food on hand when heavy rains strike. If you are not a large group or big eaters, you can get by on supplemental groceries and wines from the local store in the town square. For us, this worked just fine...and it meant we did not need a car. (Jin, the manager, provides airport transfers for a reasonable price.)

Casa Juanita is about a 20-minute walk from town center...or 20 pesos by taxi. If you walk and carry some bread or tortillas, you can feed the tejones on the way (tejones is the local term for coatis).

The beach is quite nice and easily accessible from Abbey del Sol. It gets a bit busy on Sundays, but otherwise you will have more room than you know what to do with. There are lifeguards on duty at the stations a bit closer to town center. There is even some snorkeling from the beach, once you find the right spots. Floating alongside a four-and-a-half foot barracuda (as I did) might be a bit unsettling to some, though. There are comfortable, portable beach chairs available from Abbey del Sol if you prefer to supervise from shore.

Casa Juanita #3 is almost as nice as its on-line photos picture it. We were quite comfortable there, though one of our 3 air conditioners did not seem to be operating at full capacity. WiFi service was reasonably good (we sat right next to the router), with download speeds better than 3 MB/sec....good enough for telephone conversations over MagicJack. We could not do that from Playa del Carmen last November or from Cancun last January.

My wife & I did think that bathrobes would be a nice addition.

“Excellent choice in quiet town”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011

Everything about Abbey Del Sol lived up to the advertisements, descriptions on the web site and our expectations. The units have everything anyone could want, including free Wi-Fi, AC, filtered water, DVDs, TV with CNN, plus a staff that was helpful and accommodating. It is not on the beach, but close by. Communication with the owners and their staff was excellent. We had to cancel our arrival night because our flight was cancelled. We arrived the next day and the staff gave us a room at no extra charge. The owners' list of local restaurants was helpful. Access to and from the airport is easy via the ADO bus to the highway crossing, then a 20 peso taxi ride into town. The price was excellent for what we had, although we didn't use the kitchen.

Room Tip: We booked Abbely Del Sol 2 (There's another building that is No. 1) and the bottom floor unit fr...

“excellent choice”

We didn't expect much before we arrived at Abbey Del Sol today. We spent the first four days in Akumal in an ocean front condo and were regreting the choice - the place was not cheap, but not comfortable (humid, dark, not clean). On our way to PM, we thought of changing to an all-inclusive resort but thought to check it out at Abbey del Sol since we already reserved it. What a pleasant surprise! We love Puerto Morelos for the small town feeling and many nice restaurants. Abbey del Sol is nice and very clean. Staff are very nice and helpful. It totally exceeded our expectations considering the price is so reasonable. We are glad we chose Abbey del sol.

“Abbey Del Sol is a great place to relax”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2011

people found this review helpful

We had a wonderful time at Abbey Del Sol it was relaxing and a fun place to be.
The people that work there were very helpful and we love the fact that they had bikes for us to use. My wife thought it was great to be able to ride into town, about a half mile, to go to the market and to the resturants. Most days a fruit truck came by with all kinds of fresh fruit, the prices were very reasonable. We met all kinds of fun people,enjoyed the beach which was just two blocks away, ate a lot of good food, snorkeled and got a massage on the beach.

My wife and I decided on this location because it was something away from Cancun..and away from Playa Del Carmen. We have stayed at both cities and decided to stay in the middle. We actually found this property thru a vacation rental site, but I have to comment here. It was............FANTASTIC! We stayed in the dos property in unit 7, which looks over the pool area. Beatiful little unit for 2 people, or even 3 as the couch opens into a bed if you want. the unit had a kitchenette which we used to store our cerveza's and some leftovers, and cook a few breakfasts. The unit was clean, and everything in working order, so no issues there. They had 2 nice beach chairs to use at the beach...which was 1 1/2 blocks away! perfect walking distance...and a very nice beach with little traffic. We had use of the bikes to ride around town, which we did. There was a great selection of DVD's, which we took advantage of. My wife was in the office one day and found a nice sun hat on the shelf, and they told her she was welcome to use and she did for the week. Also, we saw a beach umbrella, and they offered it to us too. If you need anything, they have it and are more than willing to let you use it for your stay. Tiff and Abbey are great hosts, and accommodating as can be. We arrived in the offseason, and there were units available on both property 1 and 2, and as soon as we arrived, Abbey greeted us and she even offered to let us choose another unit if we wanted it. The town is a small fishing town, and its about 4-5 blocks from the unit. if you walk, it takes about 10 minutes...bike ride about 3-4. Very safe, Very comfortable, and lots of places to choose in eating. Realistically, you dont even have to leave town for a week. There is that many places to eat and/or drink. My wife has already commented that when we go back to that area, she wants to stay again. She is a tough critic, so for her to say that...must be a good place. I agree with her 100%. Fantastic place, and you will not be disappointed. Thank you Abbey and Tiff!
