I have stayed at this property well over five times, having visited with both friends and family. It is like having a home away from home, with a much nicer beach! The house is comfortable, with all amenities and I would highly recommend asknig for the “extras” from the caretakers. Daniela – August 2009
Enjoyed Our Honeymoon
We wanted a place that was away from the main tourist spots but close enough to them that we could easily day trip there. Casa Tortuga was ideal! We made several trips to Cancun and Playa del Carmen. We also enjoyed the quiet walks on the beach and the incredible snorkling on the reef. At landlord’s suggestion we made an unforgettable day trip to Coba to visit the Mayan ruins there, and we even took an overnight trip, unescorted, to Chichen Itza. All in all this was a trip to remember and spacious and airy Casa Tortuga was the perfect venue for our “Luna de Miel”! Mike- August 2010
Amazing Getaway!
My husband and I were lucky enough to stay at Casa Tortuga for a few days for our friends’ wedding. We instantly fell in love with this charming bungalow on the beach. We arrived pretty late in the evening but the staff was waiting with a meal prepared and smiling, welcoming faces. We spent the days kayaking the bay and relaxing with cervezas in the palapa-shaded hammocks. We fell asleep every night to the sound of the waves breaking gently on the shore and the breeze rustling through the coconut trees. Casa Tortuga is located within a short driving distant to shopping and tourist attractions but what I liked was that it was not in a resort type setting. There is a nice restaurant located on the north end of the beach that has a nice selection of mediterranean type food. On the south end of the beach there is a small fish stand that served delicious, fresh fish and ceviche. Both establishments are within walking distance to Casa Tortuga. It was the perfect place to escape to in the middle of winter. The perfect weather, comfortable amenities, and friendly caretakers make Casa Tortuga a great destination for a relaxing getaway. My only complaint was that we couldn’t stay longer! My husband and I can’t wait to go back!

Gorgeous view and very comfy house.
Loved being able to run out everyday and jump in the ocean. Lovely outdoor shower. Spacious rooms and kitchen. Had fabulous visit to Chichen Itza and Coba. Shopping was fun as was exploring the surrounding areas. Can’t wait to go back again. The house was beautifully and tastefully decorated. We have told everyone who would listen about our trip to the pretty Casa Tortuga. Unique!!!

Wedding In Paradise
We stayed at Casa Tortuga for our wedding. My wife had stayed there several years earlier. My expectations were far underestimated. We arrived and were greeted by the caretakers Luis & Gabby. I was amazed at how incredible the house was with its thatched roof and shuttered windows. We unpacked and had a wonderful dinner which Luis & Gabby had prepared for our late arrival. The music from the sound system was soon playing outside and in. Everyone was excited; on vacation at last! We enjoyed the rest of the night in the hammocks on the beach under a full moon. At sunrise we were amazed to find how beautiful the water and sand really were. There’s nothing like waking up to waves crashing and a warm breeze blowing through the windows. Our time was spent in the hammocks, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking and visiting with family and friends staying in houses nearby. We used the snorkeling gear to see fish, turtles, eels and rays all within swimming distance of the house. We visited cenotes, Mayan ruins and other beaches all within a short drive.
