As we sit and wait for our time to head to the airport, I look around Casa Graciela and think how lucky we were to find this home for our stay in Cozumel. I had a really good feeling before we even arrived, so much so that we booked our November 2026 trip before we arrived for this trip.

As we sit and wait for our time to head to the airport, I look around Casa Graciela and think how lucky we were to find this home for our stay in Cozumel. I had a really good feeling before we even arrived, so much so that we booked our November 2026 trip before we arrived for this trip. I knew immediately upon stepping into the condo two weeks ago that we had made the right decision. We have been staying on the island for over 30 years at various villas and started staying at El Cantil in 2021. Casa Graciela is the loveliest home we have ever stayed in. Gary and Leslie have gone above and beyond with all the extras provided and the quality of the workmanship throughout the condo is top notch. Some things that made our stay very nice: Security pad entry instead of key cards. You only need the cards to use the elevator or get in the stairway. Private elevator entry directly to condo if you want to use that one. Large balcony with comfortable seating. White noise machines in every room. Hot water in showers at all times. Sunsets from our balcony. Three bedrooms each with their own private bathrooms, plus a half bath in the open area. We didn’t think we would use the half bath but it sure came in handy when the private one was occupied. Wonderful housekeeping service every other day at a time suited to us. The condo was spotless when she left. We increased our tip to her after the second cleaning as we found she cleaned for over 3 1/2 hours each time she came. Plenty of bath towels and beach towels. The mattress! We need to find out the brand so we can get one back home. Quality snorkel equipment available. While we had our own, our friend used it to snorkel and he said his mask stayed sealed even with his mustache. The outdoor hangers and hooks to dry swim suits, towels and snorkel gear. This is the first condo at El Cantil that had this and it was very nice to have this! The overall quality of absolutely everything in the condo. The digital welcome book is filled with everything you need to know before your arrival and during your stay. Kudos for a job well done on this! What a lovely stay we had! Thank you Leslie and Gary for sharing your home with us. We look forward to returning in November and for many stays to come.
