This house is an excellent choice, especially for a longer term (week or more) stay in Cancun. The neighborhood is quiet at night yet close to major thoroughfares to find a taxi or bus. It is about a 5-10 minute walk to the bus terminal. It is not on the beach, a major advantage to me because it would cost at least twice as much if in the hotel zone. City buses to the hotel zone run nearby so one can easily and cheaply access the beaches. Luis was in the hospitality business so he knows what guests expect, and that understanding shows in the condition of the house. I cannot even think of a trivial criticism.

We had a wonderful stay at Marco's White House Villa. It was lovely, clean and comfortable. Especially note worthy were the comfortable beds and linens and the much used filtered water - both hot and cold. There was a dedicated office center, which my friend used daily and that was extremely helpful. On the first night, we went next door to the Carribean Brisas retaurant. I could have eaten there every night! It was fabulous and we made friends with the manager, Chewy. We were there at least 4 times in 6 days. Also the Serena Rose restaurant was 1/2 block away and magnificent as well. Safe, sweet neighborhood, which I loved. The golf cart is a must, I'd say, although taxis are everywhere and easy to get. Also, not expensive. If the house had been on the beachfront, it would have been perfection. Since the pool didn't have circulating water, we just dipped our feet in, but it was fabulous at day's end to do that. Oh , and I almost forgot the most AMAZING shower ever! GO!
