Romantic honeymoon hideaway
Loved the seclusion of this beautiful property for our honeymoon. It felt like we had the beach to ourselves and the house was just beautiful. Ana and Nico were wonderful and so helpful. If you are thinking of having Ana cook for you, I’d highly recommend it. She is a great cook! We had chicken tostadas, beef fajitas and fish tacos. Her guacamole and pico were very delicious as well. We weren’t sure if we should rent a car or rely on car services. If we were to do this again, we would definitely rent a car. It would make things much easier. I would stay here again if given the chance. Thank you, Luis for hosting us in such a beautiful home!

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Picon. The property is palatial and stunning, the property is so well cared for by both Anna and Nicholas. Anna kindly made some amazing guacamole and chips for our arrival. The place is huge and nice for our boys to have their own rooms. The boys enjoyed both the kayaks and the boogie boards and the pool was stunning!

Villa Picón Exceeds Expectations
Our group of 7 ranging from seven months to seventy years of age all loved our stay at Villa Picón. The location on Playa Secreto is worlds away from the chaos of Cancun! Luis was easy to communicate with and Nico and Ana were absolutely lovely on site. We found that the listing actually does not do the place justice - things were even better than expected! Case in point: despite saying the common spaces were not air conditioned, we arrived to find a delightfully cool sitting room and kitchen from the newly-installed air conditioning! The master suite is huge and has commanding views out over the pool and ocean. Loved our stay and can’t wait to return!

What an amazing experience at Villa Picon. From my initial enquiries and correspondence with Luis I was confident this place was going to be perfect. He was quick to respond to all enquiries and always friendly. On arriving, we were greeted by Nico who showed us around. There was guacamole (the best I’ve ever tasted) waiting for us made by Ana and we felt immediately at home. There is so much to do just at the villa, sea kayaking, body boarding, play in the pool. We were able to watch the baby turtles hatch in the evening and we also saw a turtle come ashore to lay eggs (we feel incredibly lucky). The kids loved the pool, it was nice and warm and the perfect temperature for playing in all day. We visited Puerto Moreles, Playa del Carmen and Chichén Itza. Aside from that we didn’t leave the villa as it was so perfect! I wish we could visit again. What a magical place

Great vacation
Our trip got delayed so we arrived a day later. Nico and ana were great from cooking, groceries store shopping, cleaning, cleaning the beach, cleaning the pool, fixing the hot tub, they were absolutely the best. We had a great time. With 4 adults and 2 children. We had ana cook most nights we also offered for them to eat with us and they did a few days. We rented a car to go several places, taxi for 6 is like 100 each trip so we opted to just rent car. Directions on address pulled up once in cancun to the villa from the app on vrbo had to click on map there. The only thing i can recommend for villa picon is ac in the actual house part not just in rooms. It got really hot and the only place to cool off was in bedrooms. We are spoiled here in united states. The breeze from the ocean was not enough when opening sliding glass doors with screens especially when cooking in kitchen. We made the best memories and please let ana and nico know that we truly appreciated everything they did for our family.

Great House feet from Ocean
Stay was good. Anna and Nico were great. Communication with host was great. I don’t know if my family and I are spoiled, but we could not stay here again due to no AC in living areas (if we were not wet from pool or ocean, we would spend most of our time in the bedrooms). We felt safe due to security and on-site staff. Everything worked in hou

Lovely home with beautiful view that was perfect for a girls weekend!
We are a group of 4 lifelong friends who stayed at Villa Picon for a girls weekend. The house and location were perfect for us! The house was clean and very spacious and the outdoor area is beautiful! We loved the privacy and quiet but we’re not too far from some action. We rented a car so that made grocery shopping and trips into town super easy, but if you plan on just hanging out at the house and take advantage of the pre-stock service, then a rental car may not be necessary. Ana cleaned the house daily and Nico did the pool/beach set up every morning. They were very kind and available but also gave us space, which we liked. This would be a great house for couples or a family, too! We very much enjoyed our stay!!

Absolutely Amazing.
Pictures don’t quite do it justice. Space is much more grand than the pictures seem. Amazing outdoor space that leads to your own private beach. Villa is on the very end of a 3-plex. There wasn’t anyone in the middle during our stay. Felt very private. We were met with a pitcher of margaritas and a batch of fresh made guacamole from the caretakers (who were very nice). I think they typically do routine daily cleaning but when they came in through the service entrance the first morning and started to do our breakfast dishes, we let them know they could take the the rest of our stay off. Mostly in the high 90’s during our stay and VERY humid. Big windows and doors allow for maximum ventilation but, there is only ac in the bedrooms. Wife and I were fine for the most part. My mother in law, who is in her 70’s and our kids had quite a tough time with the heat though and frequently had to retreat to their bedrooms to escape the heat. Kitchen will get very hot during the use of stovetop. Be sure to open window behind the sink to get the cross breeze while cooking. Pool was perfect with plenty of umbrellas placed around it to lounge in and around it with a drink. The address that it gave weren’t great to copy and paste into google maps. House is in Playa De Secreto. I located it on the satellite view in google maps and dropped a pin. Guard at the gate seemed a little confused when we showed our VRBO confirmation and the names of the caretakers. The name of the villa seemed to work.

Book it!
We had an amazing 8 night stay at Villa Picon. The owner is super responsive and answered all of my questions. The couple that live on site are just the sweetest. Anna and Nicolas were always available to help us with whatever we needed. Anna keeps the villa clean and will even cook for you! The rooms are spacious but the best part of the place is the huge outdoor covered patio that is spectacular! We had friends staying at a more expensive villa close to us on the beach and we all agreed Villa Picon was better. You will definitely need a car tho as there are no restaurants or stores within walking distance. If you want time to relax, no crowds and away from the noisy city, this is your spot. We loved it!

We loved Villa Picon!!
Our group of 7 (2 adults, 4 young adults and 1 teenager) had an amazing week at Villa Picon. Everything was great!! Ana and Nico were awesome! We arrived to chips, yummy homemade guacamole and freshly made margaritas. We don't drink alcohol but they didn't know that. It was so nice of them. The house itself is great as well. Very clean (Ana came in every morning to clean bathrooms, make beds, etc.), very spacious, well furnished and very comfortable. The pool area and beach were amazing!! We loved boogie boarding on the beach and playing in the pool (Nico kept it clean all week). Hot tub was super nice to relax in at night; water does get hot, just ask Nico to heat it for you. Puerto Morelos is a cute town ten minutes away with grocery stores, nice restaurants, cute shops and a nice town square. We loved everything and we can't wait to come back!! Also, the owner Luis was super easy to communicate with before we came. Don't hesitate, stay at Villa Picon! You'll love it!!

Villa Picon is amazing!
Villa Picon is the finest vacation rental we have ever experienced. The home is spectacular - photos do not do it justice. Luis Picon was very easy to communicate with - responded to questions promptly with helpful information. As others have mentioned, the full-time couple that look after the property, Nico and Anna, were super helpful and friendly. And Anna am excellent cook - best meals during our week there were by her. And so nice not to have to drive into town at night for dinner. Although Puerto Moreles is a cute town with decent restaurants etc. Villa Picon provided a most relaxing vacation in a beautiful location - hope to return! Rich and Adriana from NC.

The home exceeded our expectations! The pool, hot tub and beach were outstanding. As we had a little one they child proofed and provided a crib and high chair. Ana and Nico took excellent care of us.
