Casita de Maya Boutique Hotel

Review: Casita de Maya was everything I hoped for and more. I walked there from the airport and instantly felt like I had my own private villa. The space is peaceful, cozy, and personal—nothing like a big resort. Daniel and Lalo went above and beyond. Daniel made me delicious meals whenever I wanted, they happily arranged cabs for me, and the whole vibe was so welcoming. I even met another great couple finishing their open water diver certification, and it made the stay feel like a little community. It truly felt like a home away from home—and I already can’t wait to return.

The absolute best place to stay! We were there a week and really didn't want to leave. The owner and staff are first rate. We had breakfast cooked for us every morning by a fantastic cook. Our rooms were clean and fresh. We won't stay anywhere else. See you in 2025.

I have stayed at Casita De Maya a few times now and will continue to do so. We love it, it feels like a second cozy home. Dan and the team are beyond accommodating and welcoming. Always a great experience with new things to try, which Dan will help you navigate if you would like. The rooms are immaculately clean and comfortable, and Daniele's breakfast is top notch served with the biggest smile. I could not recommend this more!

The service and hospitality is spectacular and we were made to feel at home in this quaint hotel that is walking distance from the airport and car rental. Absolutely loved my stay and the staff! I will definitely stay here again.

This is a hidden gem amongst a residential neighborhood within walking distance of the airport. Don't let others tell you differently, it is safe to journey around even the deepest regions of Cozumel. The views of the culture are wonderful to see. Everyone, primarily Chef Daniel and Edwardo, are 2 of the greatest people you will meet at any destination. Chef Daniel is a top notch gourmet cook and will delight you non-stop. He also makes extraordinary drinks and his bloody Mary and margarita will not disappoint. He comes from many years at a large hotel. One thing to keep in mind is there is no kitchen at Casita. Chef Daniel must go to his home to prepare meals. Drinks are prepared on sight. That bothered me to put him out of his way to cook. Running back and forth to his home with meals on a motorcycle. This was the only thing that I could say was other than perfect and keep in mind, it's only a feeling of mine. Again the food was beyond great. The hustle and bustle are a few miles away at the waterfront, where the cruise ships anchor. I like being away from that and being able to visit it with a short 100 peso cab ride whenever you want. If you want crowds all the time of tourists, book your room there. But keep in mind, Casita is the number one or number 2 ranked hotel on the island. One tip, stores at the waterfront charge more while the ships are in port. Wait till after 5 when they pull out to negotiate better prices of bobbles and trinkets. Daniel the manager (not Chef Daniel) can help with daily activities, getting a cab or rental car or anything else you may need. He has several connections. Today as I write this review, we are preparing to go on the 3 hour gourmet pirate dinner cruise on a pirate ship. All the alcohol you want for about $85 per person. I will try to check back in to inform how the cruise was.

I’ve stayed at several different hotels and AirBnB’s in Cozumel, Casita de Maya was, for me, the best. I travel to Cozumel solely to scuba dive and then just relax. No interest in sightseeing, nightlife, exploring, just wanna dive and chill. Casita de Maya offered all that. Off the beaten path, quiet neighborhood, and everything I need is there. Coffee, breakfast, and dinner. Room was nice and comfortable. Good a/c, hot water, daily housekeeping. Just perfect.
