Family stay at Casa Vela

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Vela and enjoyed the beautifully crafted tree house and the hospitality of Alberto and his team. We loved the cenote only a few minutes away and went there every day. We would love to go back one day. ”

Lovely home by the Cenotés

The staff were amazing and made our stay so special. The owners and staff went out of their way for the youngest among us with crib, car seat, baby formula and diapers at the ready. My daughters and I felt safe and secure. The only negative was that red tide had enveloped the area and so the beaches were not great. However, swimming in the cenotés was fabulous.”

Really Great Place

We had a great week at Casa Vela. It is a really unique property that is only about 50 feet from the ocean. Nice breeze and waves all day. The Bedrooms are all well appointed and the set up is perfect for a beach vacation. However, the best part is the staff, especially. The prepared meals were all fresh and bountiful and all needs were addressed immediately. The co-owner, Alberto, was great to work with. We hope to return soon!”

Beyond all expectations!

There are no words to describe what we experienced at Casa Vela. This home was absolutely stunning, the bedrooms were over the top luxurious, the outdoor living area was perfection. The meals...OMG...the food was delicious and bountiful and the staff was the kindest bunch. Thank you thank you thank you!! I will never forget our amazing trip to Bruce's home!!!”

Paraiso en la Rivera Maya

Paraíso espiritual! una casa maravillosa con toda la comodidad en una de las playas mas hermosas . Visitamos la casa con la familia 9 en total los espacios ideales, el servicio de Alberto y su equipo es ideal y dispuestos a ayudar en todo, recomiendo mucho el paseo en lancha a un bellísimo arrecife. gracias Casa Vela por tan memorable vacación.”

Do yourself a favor

If reconnecting with your children, rekindling the romance with your wife, or just rebooting your mind and body from the noise and stress of an executive's reality, is your goal, this is the place for you. My wife and I, run multiple businesses, and were in desperate need of a mental and physical recovery. We realized that sitting around a pool at a resort for a week, just wasn't going to give us what we needed. Detaching, unplugging, refocusing, and getting our energy and intimacy back, had become more important than any other type of entertainment than we could think of. Honestly, I'd forgotten the serentity of simply being still and quiet, hearing nothing but the gentle, rhythmic sound of the waves. Casa Vela sits on 100 acres accessed only through a security gate down a long scenic drive. The house sits on a private beach, with the ocean literally 20 yards away. Completely private, very sexy, and stunningly gorgeous. We had a chance to meet the owner Bruce while we were there. He was absolutely charming, and made our comfort and enjoyment of the property a priority. He surprised us by hosting a dinner with the chefs that are available with the property. The meal was a six course mexican masterpiece. I would highly recommend taking advantage of the chef option that Bruce offers. We both agreed that the meal was the best that we had on the trip. As isolated as you feel while you are at the property, there is an all inclusive resort about 200 yards down the beach with a fully equiped dive shop. My wife, had been interested in learning to dive for years and we had her fully certified in 3 days and enjoyed 4 dives together, on the reef which is just a short distance from the resort. Playa Del Carman is only 20 minutes away, and is clean, friendly, and a joy to walk. Paddle boards, and kayaks are included in the property! ”

Rancho el Porvenir

Our October stay at Rancho el Porvenir was indescribable! The property is located directly on the beach & allows you experience Playa del Carmen a la Swiss Family Robinson with the open air house allowing you unobscured views of the Mexican Caribbean with all the amenities of home with a gourmet kitchen, internet, & Sky TV. The caretaker, Alberto, also a sailing instructor & breeder of rare birds, helped to arrange for us housekeeping, security, grocery delivery, and was gracious enough to take us out on his own boat snorkeling, as well as to teach us all about all of the native wildlife that reside on the property. A truly unique & amazing property!”
