very nice place to stay. very friendly staff. cook staff was exceptional.
We love the Chango and the Dos. There are 26 of us that get together every 2 years and go to Cozumel and stay at these houses. It is a GREAT location with GREAT staff. We wouldn't stay anywhere else!!
We went to Villa Dos for Ironman Cozumel with a group of 11 people. The house was so spacious we never felt crowded. The cooking staff were so kind and talented. Great food with local flavor. The location is perfect too because you are just next door to San Francisco beach and the local beach side bar /restaurant. The staff at At Home in Cozumel were very helpful with daytrips and answering local questions. The house had wifi and free long distance to the US & Canada. All in all highly reccomended. The one downstairs bedroom does get a bit damp/musty but this didn't compromise our stay in the room in the least.
We have stayed at Villa Dos three times over the past 6 years. We love Cozumel, the people, the island, the food, the diving and Villa Dos. It is a great house on the best beach location in Cozumel. We strongly recommend this home and the staff is great and the owners take great pride in this home.
We had a great time and the accomodations were better then expected. The staff was very helpful and extremely friendly. I also highly recommend the meal plan - every meal was outstanding. We love Cozumel and will return with Villa Dos as our first choice.
Villa Dos is an excellent vacation choice for adults with a relaxed lifestyle. It offers a unique opportunity not available at a resort or all inclusive - the ability to completely immerse in the local culture, food, and of course the tantalizing aquamarine waters just outside your doorstep. Our group of nine adults loved the layout - widely separated bedrooms offer complete privacy, but the central living/dining/media rooms provided a luxurious and comfy spot to gather for meals,surf the net, watch TV. And the meals - spectacular! We had chef Luis for the duration of our stay, and every morning woke to freshly brewed coffee, a hot breakfast and large platters of fresh fruit. Every evening Luis pampered us poolside with appetizers and special cocktails created to enhance the theme of the evening meal. Luis artfully combines fresh ingredients to make Mayan and Yucatan specialties - everything from Snapper Veracruz to a wickedly spicy mole. Every meal was completed with a frozen or flambeed dessert - to die for. Luis you are the greatest!Villa Dos is ideally located - walk five minutues down the beach in one direction to dive and snorkel boats - walk five minutes the other direction for a massage on the beach, parasailing or lunch with your feet in the sand at Carlos and Charlies. Recommended excursions include tours of Tulum and Cozumel Mayan ruins with knowledgeble guides. Also unforgettable -dancing under the stars on Sunday night in the town square with local families - grandmas to babies in strollers - all turn out for this event. Be sure to rent a car to visit the "wild" backside of the island - pounding surf on volcanic rock and huge sweeps of white sand and crashing waves make for memorable photos.
We couldn't have been more pleased with the place! The cook was a good decision, and made our stay even better. Will definately be back for more.
Loved the place. Can't wait to get back! Hiring the cook was an excellent decision!
Downstairs room all need thorough cleanin and dehumidifiers
We used part of the house for a small management meeting. The property was beautiful, including architectural details such as tiling and paint. Many individual rooms with separate entrances allow privacy, but the common space is very suitable for a large group. We will be back with spouses.
All the staff were great and we highly recommend the chef service! What a vacation!!
A group of 9 business oweners chose 700 Villa Dos as our retreat location. The accomodations were perfect. The staff was amazing and everything exceeded our expectations. Meals at the house were better than most meals we ate on other parts of the island. I would reccomend 700 Villa Dos to anyone who wants a hassle free vacation where you want to optimize your free time and enjoy the island.
Villa Dos is a beautiful ocean front home on San Francisco beach. The grounds and house are well kept and the pool is great. The beach area is very nice but I would recommend wearing water shoes as it is quite rocky at the shore line. Also if you plan on visiting other areas of the island or shopping downtown much a car is really necessary as it is several miles to town and taxis could get expensive after a while. We took our small children and we all had a wonderful vacation in Cozumel at Villa Dos! I would definately stay there again.
This was the second time we stayed at Villa Dos, and it was still great. A couple of suggestions, however:1) Put a switchable light on the grill. Many times, we would grill after dark, and dive flashlights are okay, but sometimes you really need two hands...2) There are only two rooms who have access to the kitchen and living room with keys. The other rooms have a key to the gate padlock, which is good, but the other five rooms are locked out of the kitchen, unless they wake up the people in the two room next to the kitchen. You should provide keys to the other guests so they can get into the kitchen.
We are so glad to welcome back return guests. And we appreciate your detailed and constructive sugestions. We have passed this along to the owner. Thanks. At Home in Cozumel.
Perfect property for a group that likes to spend time together....that also wants a little privacy. On site staff is incredible and very helpful. Wonderful furniture..inside and out. Can't wait to return to Villa Dos!
Villa Dos is a great house. The wonderful furnishing almost manage to distract our guests from the view. Almost. I know that the staff loves having appreciative guests. Thank you so much for you kind comments.
We rented both the Villa Dos and the Chango Villa. There were 26 of us. The house was in a perfect location and accomodated our group easily. The infinity pool is awesome. Definatly a place I would rent again, in fact we are all planning a trip for 2010 for both houses again!!
A lovely home; great location very close to Carlos & Charlie's Beach Club; house staff very helpful
We loved it so much, that we are renting it this year too.
This home is truly on the very best beach in Cozumel--San Francisco beach. The house is beautifully decorated and furnished and the owners and the staff are so accomodating. You will come back to this home over and over again.
OUR GROUP THOROUGHLY ENJOYED OUR WEEK AT VILLA DOS. GREAT LOCATION ON THE BEACH. SEVERAL BAR/RESTAURANTS JUST A SHORT WALK UP THE BEACH.WENT DIVING THREE DAYS AND OUR BOAT FROM ALDORA DIVERS, PICKED US UP, AND DROPPED US BACK, IN FRONT OF OUR CASA. PERFECT WEATHER ALL WEEK. LOVED THE POOL.
The only problem was that a downstairs bedroom, which should have been one of the nicest, smelled so bad that we couldn't use it. Some sort of sewer problem, I think - perhaps remedied by now.
