We had a wonderful stay at Casa de los Viajeros. Joanne and Robert made sure we had everything we needed and were accommodating of our short stay. They had great suggestions for places to eat and relax on the beach and were very understanding with a few of our mishaps. The place is clean, and well-stocked with beautiful decor. The patio and garden area are great for gathering, relaxing or reading. We could easily walk to town and to the beach but felt safe and in a quiet area. Thank you again, we hope to stay here when we return.

We spent 3 weeks in unit 2 on the second floor in March of this year. Ideal location close enough to walk to town easily but far enough away to be quiet in the evenings. Easy stroll to the beach as well. Very comfortable and well-equipped apartment for the two of us and the memories of swinging on the hammock on that beautiful patio, good ocean breezes and the sounds of the birds will keep me going through the rest of the spring melt here in Canada! Muchas graçias por todos Joanne and Rob and we look forward to returning.

Had a great 3 weeks at Casa de los Viajeros. From checking in to checking out, it was a breeze. Johan and Rob were there whenever they were needed and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. They are a wealth of information about Puerto Morelos and the surrounding area. A perfect spot close to the beach and the best snorkeling. Well done!!!

Puerto Morelos is an amazing place and Casa de los Viajeros is the perfect base to enjoy all that the area has to offer! It is conveniently located right by the best snorkeling beach in the area, and is easy walking distance to nearby restaurants. Rob & Joanne are wonderful hosts and you will feel like you are staying at your friend’s house. (A friend who provides a useful list of totally reasonable rules to follow so you can be a good guest and understand the idiosyncrasies of staying in a house instead of a hotel.) If you prefer DIY exploring to an all-inclusive resort, they can direct you to local guides and resources and make you brave and adventurous. If you are visiting the area, stay here if possible!

We enjoyed our second trip to Casa de los Viajros as much as the first one. We stayed two weeks in Suite 1 and it fit our family of four perfectly. All the amenities of home and the huge, covered, patio is ideal for hosting card games and eating outside. The two hammocks are great for relaxing. Being only a couple blocks from the beach and walking distance to all the restaurants is a perfect location. On-site landlords certainly make you feel at home and are so helpful with any questions. I highly recommend renting a suite from these lovely people.

We have stayed at Casa de Los Viajeros twice, most recently in December 2021 when we occupied Apartment 2 on the 2nd floor. It was perfect for us-very clean, breezy, with a spacious porch & comfortable bedroom & plenty of room to put away our clothes, etc. The kitchen had everything we needed & was easy to use. It’s very close to the beach, a 2 minute walk for the sunrise! The owners are extremely gracious & helpful & always available when needed. We would definitely stay here again.

We have been coming to Unit 3 every year since 2009 when it was first ready for occupancy. We love it! Rob and Joanne are great hosts. They leave you to enjoy your vacation in privacy but are quickly ready to help you when asked. All of the apartments are great. We like unit 3 because it fits our vacation style and we use the private balcony every day for meals, bird watching, reading, relaxing, etc. The apartment is roomy, open and airy. The recent addition of a king-sized bed has been wonderful. The included weekly cleaning and exchange of clean linens allows you to focus on having fun. We are able to keep in touch with friends and family at home through the excellent internet connection. We have made good friends with the many guests in the other units and look forward to reuniting with them each year. Each morning we are up to enjoy spectacular sunrises on the beautiful beach. Not only do we get needed exercise but it is a village social event. It is not crowded but you can make friends very easily from all over the US, Canada, Mexico, etc. There is a strong sense of camaraderie in taking a walk before breakfast and it is a short walk from Casa de los Viajeros. In addition to having breakfast at the apartment there are so many great breakfasts waiting for you downtown. There are very good restaurants for other meals as well. It doesn’t get any better than this for a vacation.

This was my fourth time in Puerto Morelos. How could I not have known about Casa de los Viajeros (CLV)? We stayed in Apartment 2. It is a spacious, light-filled, lovely apartment. This used to be the owner’s home before they moved upstairs, so everything is laid out for a very comfortable vacation. My adult son was comfortable in the loft bedroom, and with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, the space was perfect for us. The kitchen (in fact the whole apartment) is extremely well equipped, has everything you need even for a longer stay. And it is spotless. We spent hours enjoying the light and the breeze after a long days at the ocean (two blocks away) in the living areas both inside and on the very expansive covered patio. We were there in January, and did not miss air conditioning.
It is a 10 minute walk to the plaza or dinner in town . In fact it is very close to a couple of the best restaurants in PM. The location is perfect! Five minute walk to a fruit store, to a hair salon, to fresh tortillas, to amazing pizza and of course the beach! Yet, it is in a quiet location. A collectivo (small van) stops right outside every 20 minutes, for trips around PM and to the town on the highway. You will not need a car! In fact if you are traveling light, you can go directly and very cheaply from CLV to the ADO bus to the airport.
And then there are Rob and Joanne – hospitable, knowledgeable, witty and very responsive hosts. No request or question is too much. They are long time residents and key members of the community, so you get local, up-to-date community knowledge and tips. Invaluable!
Other guests we talked to are long-time returnees who would not stay anywhere else. I could see why! We look forward to being back.

Rob and Joanne are excellent hosts. Very friendly, attentive and responsive. Also a great resource for information about the town. The units are clean, well equipped and very well maintained. We stayed in Unit 3. Close to the beach and town. The worst part about staying there is having to leave. If you are looking for something quiet and laid back, this is a great place to land.

My wife and I joined another couple for a trip to the Yucatan. It was our third trip to the area. On the previous two trips, we stayed at all-inclusive resorts in Playacar. For this trip, we were looking for a different experience. I was done with tasteless buffet food and having to stake out a lounge chair at 8:00 am. We wanted a place that allowed us to create our own days and go at our own pace.
Casa de los Viajeros is a sweet little escape in a hidden part of Mexico. I think Rob and Joanne understand precisely how their business fits into this “come as you are” town. There is no pretense, which is a large part of the charm, both with the town and the accommodations. But, never did I feel like I had settled for less. The place is clean and well-maintained. All necessary appliances are provided (if you want to make your own food, which we didn’t) Beds are comfortable. And you can always find a cooling breeze inside and out.
As others have said, it’s only a short walk to the beach and several beach clubs Our favourite was My Paradise. There’s a minimum charge of 300 pesos per umbrella. But that’s only $20, Canadian. If you hit their happy hour, $20 goes a long way!
Their location on the outskirts of the busy town square (busy being a relative term), means all the eating establishments are to the south. Some are only a five-minute walk. Between the four of us, we didn’t have a bad meal. Over the week, we chose a different restaurant each night, some based on R&J’s recommendations. Others we just tried on a whim. You can pay a bit more to have dinner with an ocean view or you can try something that is truly a hole in the wall. The food is good either way, with a great variety.
For diving, snorkelling, transportation and general shopping, Rob and Joanne were spot on with their recommendations and advice for how to address various situations; even where to shop on the Colonia side (the township on the highway). No question stumped them.
For an experience that gives you a more genuine taste of Mexican life, Casa de los Viajeros and Puerto Morelos are worthwhile. You’re free to safely roam as you will, not locked away in a resort. Muy Bien!

Looking for a vacation, my friends and my partner Derek booked the two bedroom suite from Rob and Joanne at Casa de los Viajeros for a week in April. Every question was answered promptly before our trip down about the town, and the apartment, and the best company to use for diving and snorkelling (the Cenotes are a must visit). We felt completely comfortable in the condo and the town. Puerto Morelos is a very safe place and the residents are more than happy to stand and chat with you and make you feel so welcome. The condo is a short block walk to the beach and a short walk to some of the best restaurants in Puerto Morelos. If you are looking for a nice relaxing vacation look no further than Puerto Morelos and Casa de los Viajeros, you won’t be disappointed- we will be back!

Loved our week long stay at Casa de los Viajeros – our family of five had plenty of room, the place was clean and very well equipped for making meals but close enough to town to easily walk to any number of great eating places. And of course…it is literally only a short walk to the beach. Added bonus – Rob and Joanne are fantastic ambassadors for Puerto Morelos – they have lots of tips and info and are on site (top floor). Another plus – it’s on a quiet street – just birds and rustling palms to put you to sleep on the hammocks!

My wife and I had a very enjoyable 8-day stay in Casa de los Viajeros in March. We stayed in suite #3, the smallest suite, and it suited our needs perfectly. The description and photos on their website are accurate and we had no surprises when we checked in.
The location is ideal being only a 2-3 minutes walk to the beach and maybe 10 minutes to the centre of town. It’s a quiet street and even though it was a busy time of year (Semana Santa) there were no problems with noise.
The apartment is clean, well maintained and fully equipped. Anyone staying there for any length of time would have no problem preparing their own meals. Apart from breakfast, we chose to eat out and there are plenty of good, reasonably priced restaurants to choose from.
Rob and Joanne were excellent hosts. They helped us arrange travel from and to the airport. We arrived well before normal check-in time but they had our room ready for us as soon as they possibly could. And when we left they allowed us to stay beyond checkout time to accommodate our late-afternoon departure.
We have no hesitation in recommending Casa de los Viajeros to our friends and we would be happy to stay there again.

Rob and Joanne are wonderful hosts and have taken good care of me. They reside upstairs and if there’s anything I’ve needed, all I needed to do was text or call them and the response was very fast. The units are clean, stocked and maintained

We loved Rob and Joanne’s apartment in this quiet part of Puerto Morelos. Close to the beach, close to downtown; it was the perfect spot for our vacation. Clean, well equipped, the apartment is a cozy and simple getaway for rest and relaxation. Rob was a great host, welcoming and always ready to help. Would recommend to anyone looking for a bit of peace and quiet.
Spacious, clean apartment and great owners.

Very pleased with my stay on a solo trip to Mexico. The apartment was big enough for a family with two kids; there is a loft with a futon and one in the living room in addition to the bedroom. No A/C but was never really too uncomfortable with Windows open and curtains closed with fans going. Owners were great, they met me upon arrival and explained everything well. Quick walk to the ocean and a ten-minute walk to the town square. Highly recommend if staying in Puerto Morelos.

The apartment was exactly as described/pictured so held no surprises. Rob was there to meet us when we arrived and helped us get settled in/set up. There was a helpful welcome guide that mimicked what they send out before you arrive. Full of info! It was really nice to have a full kitchen for breakfasts and snacks. The shower was always powerful and hot if you wanted warm water. (We often didn’t!) There are lots of windows so there was often really nice airflow. We always felt safe in the apartment and left our door open while we were there. Rob and Joanne checked on us part way through the week and also were available right away if we had a question. Perfect hosts!
The apartment is only about 1.5 short blocks off the beach so super quick, especially on the bikes we rented for $50 for the week. There is also fantastic restaurants nearby, a laundry for longer stays where you can have tons of clothes washed for you for super cheap, a fruit and veg store with fresh juices and the local Oxxo which has bread and eggs, etc. We only went to the grocery store at the highway for an excursion on our bikes and to buy the cheap booze we always bring back to Canada!
Puerto Morelos itself is a gift. You can have a small town laid back vacation with beach days down at the Ojo bar, evening strolls through the town square which has market nights several times per week plus wonderful restaurants available for every meal.
Easy and cheap to get around the whole Riviera from this wonderful town. thanks again – we will be back for sure as we now love the town! and we will stay with Joanne and Rob.

The title says it all. The wife and I have stayed here twice in the past 4 years and it has been spectacular both times. It was clean, comfortable and full of all the amenities we needed. The hosts were very welcoming and accommodating. A short two-minute walk to the beach and a five-minute walk to the town square(this was in flip flops too, I’m from Canada and I don’t walk very fast in flip-flops). The beach was gorgeous white sand and clear blue water, the town was super friendly and laid back, filled with lots of great restaurants and places to grab a margarita. We can’t wait to go back.

Start to finish we were pleased! I am NOT “tech savy” so they worked with me on securing our reservation. We received PLENTY of information ahead of time to help us plan. There were maps of the area, listings of grocery stores, restaurants, information about airport/hotel transfers, anything we could need. The service they recommend for transfers is the cheapest in town, and Jin is very helpful and friendly! We were delighted with him. We had the 2 BR and we felt like we were home from the time we walked in. Susy was very patient while answering all my questions and walked me out to the street pointing me in the “right” direction so I could form a map of the town in my head. We had no problem getting around! Most everything is pretty close to 3 blocks or so of walking. We never even used a taxi in town. A straight shot across 2 blocks to the beach. We spend most days at Cielo Beach Club where they have chairs, umbrellas and a pool with a restroom for customers! Very convenient! The unit was spotless and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. The blender works great for smoothies and margaritas! Plenty of clotheslines for beach towels, wet swimsuits. Liked that we had 2 separate entrances! Plenty of fresh drinking water, WiFi worked great. We could not have been happier and we are already planning our return trip! If you want a comfortable, relaxing, stress-free trip, you need to stay here! The vibe in PoMo is wonderful!

I spent 1 week at the apartment and everything was as described on the listing. Susie, the manager, was very helpful during the check-in and provided very good recommendations and tips. The apartment is well located in a very quiet street and 2 blocks from the beach. Pto Morelos is very close to Playa del Carmen and Cancun, approx 30 minutes via bus (ADO). I strongly recommend visiting Tulum and Isla Mujeres.
However, the local beach club, My Paradise, is very well managed and has excellent drinks, food and customer service, I spent a couple of days there. I recommend Rob and Joanne’s listing.

Rob and Joanne were wonderful hosts. They were available to answer all your questions about the town and area. The information that they provided on their bookstore website was invaluable! The location is perfect in a quiet neighbourhood. It is a short walk to the beach and the town. The town had so many wonderful restaurants at reasonable prices, shopping galore, music, taxis and tours were easily arranged. You can hop on the bus for a quick ride to a larger grocery store and a variety of additional restaurants. The apartment was immaculate, beautifully decorated and the kitchen was set up to cook great meals. We spent many hours sitting on the large porch. There were large windows, sliding doors and several fans to let in the sea breeze. We enjoyed the town and found everyone to be friendly.

Rob made us feel very welcome! He was there to greet us as we arrived and helped to get us settled into the apartment. He shared lots of great information with us before we departed from airport shuttles from suggested items to pack. The location was fabulous, just a short walk from town and a close two blocks to a really nice beach. The apartment was super clean, very quiet and we spent a lot of time on the patio enjoying the breeze off the ocean. We will definitely be back to Puerto Morelos and hope to stay in the casa again! Everything about the place was easy from booking to arrival to checkout.

We stayed in unit #2 and we loved our stay!
Very well equipped, very roomy, very clean and charming, everything was thought of. The beds were comfortable, the fans perfect to help cool down the house at night. The terrace was WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!
The location of the Casa is perfect, just far enough from the center of PM so it is very quiet, but close enough so we could go in town as many times a day as we wished. And it took 2 minutes to get to the beautiful beach!
The owner is very helpful and we really appreciated all the information he shared with us.
We hope to be able to return next year!

We have stayed in many motels and rentals in the Mayan Riviera over the past 16 years. Casa de los Viajeros is now at the top of our list. We stayed in the one bedroom suite, it was absolutely beautiful, sunny, quiet, clean and nice lite breezes. Located 1 1/2 blocks from the nicest beach and best snorkelling in the area. A short stroll (3 blocks) puts you in the town square with plenty to see and fabulous restaurants. Rob and Jonne are very friendly and can suggest things to do, see or places to dine. Again: Quiet, clean, roomy, friendly, what else can you ask for? Can’t wait to return next year!

I spent a week here during the beginning of January 2013. I wanted to take a trip to Mexico, but I didn’t want the all-inclusive vacation experience. I was looking for something a little different. I wanted a relaxing and restful week in a quiet town, with a gorgeous beach, incredible restaurants, and all the creature comforts of home…and I found it! As a 32-year-old female travelling alone, I found the town to be incredibly safe and friendly. Not once did I feel threatened, uncomfortable, or unsafe in any way. The suite I stayed in was stocked with all the kitchen basics, so I enjoyed buying fresh groceries in the town square and making my own breakfast each day. I tried a new restaurant every night for dinner, and I was never disappointed. The food was delicious and extremely inexpensive. The weather was picture perfect, and my suite had everything I needed to feel right at home. I’d go back and stay here again in a heartbeat!

My wife and I stayed here for only a few days in March 2012. We were quite happy with the condo and it’s proximity to the beach and town square. The unit we had was on the second level and had a large private terrace with a hammock. It was extremely well appointed and had all the little things that you wouldn’t think of bringing yourself. Lots of windows to make it airy and bright. I really liked the layout and the high ceilings in some parts.

I stayed at Casa de los Viajeros for the fourth time in 2011 during December and still love the town, the people and this casa!
I was with a friend on a girls’ escape for two weeks, so we stayed in the ground-floor two-bedroom unit. As with every other time I’ve visited the apartment contained everything a vacationer would need and more.
The kitchen features an array of handy small appliances together with a stove and a fridge if you want to cook in. There’s a juicer, a coffee maker, toaster, microwave, wine/bottle opener, assorted cooking, eating and drinking implements. The table will seat 6 easily, so have a fiesta!
The living room now boasts a brand-new flat screen tv. Not sure why when the beach path is a short block away; and there are two hammocks waiting for you right outside the front door.
Two good-sized bedrooms are complemented by two bathrooms and what seems like endless hot water. The beds are comfy and both rooms have doors to the outside, so you can slip out in the middle of the night to listen to mariachi if the spirit moves you.
Rob and Joanne, your hosts, make beach equipment available if you want to rent that (chairs, umbrella). In addition, there’s ample room on their clothesline for drying your wet beach towel, bathing suit, and any skimpies you may have felt the need to wash out during your stay. They have also provided wifi included in the suite rental, and maid service for us was once per week.
The main town square is a quick 5 – 10 minute walk. In town, you can arrange for snorkelling, scuba diving, fishing, and pretty much any tour you might want to sign up for. There is a rental car agency that I’ve dealt with three times and wouldn’t hesitate to use again. The bookstore, of course, is a must-visit: also run by adonis (Rob) and his lovely wife Joanne, it’s full of beach reads, many books covering local topics, and most recently, they are stocking wonderful condiments.
I can’t wait to return!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Casa de los Viajeros. First of all, the information Rob (owner) sent early covered just about everything we needed to know, and any other questions I had he answered right away. He helped with airport questions, travel questions from the airport to Puerto Morelos, restaurants, etc. etc. and he was so kind to mail our postcards (which I might add arrived today) since the one mailbox in town was locked up tight. ?
Your apartment was so convenient and so close to the beach (one and a half blocks) and to town; we could walk everywhere. I think what I liked about Puerto Morelos was the fact that not once was I fearful about walking all over town day or night. Before we left our hometown friends kept questioning me, “Are you sure you will be safe?” I wish they could go and enjoy your terrific apartment and the terrific town of Puerto Morelos; yes, we will definitely be back, and next time we’re bringing relatives or friends.

Both my wife and I enjoyed out stay at the Casa very much, which got off to a good start when we were met personally by both Rob and Joanne. They ensured that everything was in order and that we had everything we needed. Being Christmas Eve upon our arrival, we appreciated them providing some of the necessities so that we could prepare some food.
Our walking distance to the beach was 400 yards/meters so it took next to no time to get to the beautiful white sand and turquoise water. The other thing that worked out very well for us was being about an 8-minute walk from the village square with restaurants and shops along the way. It is so easy to relax when you know that everything is close to hand and your accommodation is safe and secure.
The cleaning staff did a good job plus we found that everything that we could have needed was provided right down to the corkscrew and bottle opener which in turn made our stay in the casa worry free. We have no problem in recommending this accommodation or hosts for anyone who wishes to stay in the area and we have indeed, already recommended some friends and look forward to staying here again when we are down next, hopefully by the end of the years.

Casa de los Viajeros is my home ways from home. In the spring and summer of 2010, as I travelled through Central America, Mexico became alternately my landing/launching pad (April – July) staying at the Casa on four separate occasions.
As a single woman travelling solo, I appreciate the safety and security provided as well as the ease of access to the stores and shops of town — all just two blocks from the most amazing beach that stretches for miles. The apartment is well appointed, in excellent condition and comfortable.
The bed is good, the linens are quality, the kitchen is well thought-out and in the evenings I spent long hours dozing in the hammock in the evening breeze, margarita in hand. In the mornings I walk on the beach before the sun became too hot. I like to tell my friends that Puerto Morelos is “still small town enough to be “Mexico” but touristy enough to have all the conveniences… and the people are lovely”.
I am a writer/photographer – writing and shooting food & travel – and the food in Puerto Morelos (and Mexico in general) is truly outstanding. For my money some of the best finds are the little places with grandma cooking over one propane burner – it just doesn’t get better than that. Working on the road, high-speed Internet is vital and I was never let down at Casa de los Viajeros. Wish I was there now… in the hammock listening to the fruit truck guy as he comes down the street.
Go. Walk on the beach. Eat a shrimp taco. Have a margarita. Get a tan. Rob & Joanne will take very good care of you. Oh… and don’t get too comfortable because — I’ll be back

I have stayed in two of the units here, and am so well pleased that I’ve already booked two return trips for this year, and am working on arranging a third. Very, very highly recommended!
The property: Bright, airy, clean, spacious, reasonably priced, well maintained, comfortably furnished, nicely appointed. It looks just like the pictures.
The town: Puerto Morelos is a beautiful, friendly, laid-back little fishing village with easy access to all points of interest in the area (maybe Cancun or Playa del Carmen, but you can also join tours, go snorkelling/scuba diving, etc). I prefer to stay in town – the beach is pristine, the water is fine, the locals are wonderful, and there’s lots to see and do.
The proprietors: Your hosts are friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable and gracious.

Previous trips to Mexico have always been a series compromises. But no more. The Casa de los Viajeros is the perfect vacation location. Whether you want to swim, snorkel, shop, fish, dine out or just hang out with the locals at the town square, it’s all minutes away. The spacious unit includes everything you need for a worry-free vacation, coffee maker, comfortable bed, full-size fridge and stove, even a lime press for margaritas. Nice touch!
I am also known as the “King of Vacation Information” and I have been dethroned. The information you provide previously to and after check-in is absolutely the best. It let us quickly feel like locals. In fact, I was able to help play tourism representative instantly to the poor folks who were staying at all-inclusive resorts down the beach.
Continued Good Fortune.
