"The Mayan Palace Resort is beautiful and has the best beaches on the Sea of Cortez - www.Vidanta.com"

"Mile's of untouched sand and no vendors, calm and relaxing - no one there to bug you. By far the best beaches in all of Puerto Penasco. "
*****
Just a 20 mile drive to downtown Rocky Point that offers shopping, local fresh seafood market, local entertainment, cinema and marina. Only 4 miles from the new Mar de Cortes International airport.
*****
We have 2 private pools in the back yard (unheated). The splash pool and Main pool are unheated but very refreshing for summer days. The decking goes all around the house and pools. There is also a large roof top Sky Terrace with wet bar and fireplace. It is amazing to sit up here for those spectacular Sea of Cortez Sunsets and mountain views. At night (because there is no light pollution) the show you get from the stars is unbelievable – Meteor showers, satellites, constellations and the Milky Way all show themselves with grandeur. We love to sit in the back yard with a cold beverage on those hot sunny days. We have the house professionally decorated and furnished in classic items that reflect the culture of the area and the comforts of home. Flat screen TVs, and unlimited WiFi. (Can be temperamental )Stainless steel appliances and Spanish colonial furniture. This is a great location to privately unwind and spend quality time with the family, explore the surrounding nature and estuary / waterways within the wildlife sanctuary. The house offers many places to relax, including the roof top Sky Terrace.

Just a few minutes’ drive away is the Mayan Palace and Grand Mayan Resort that offers first class dinning, pool bar and restaurants, full service spa and gym facility, tennis courts, large outdoor pools and an indoor heated pool.

Your perfect holiday wouldn't be complete without booking a Tee Time at the signature Peninsula Jack Nicklaus golf course that boasts 7 of the 18 holes along the beautiful Sea of Cortez. There are times when

Wading along the estuary as the tide pulls us along, shelling, fishing, swimming and just enjoying the quiet that comes from having a private gated community off the beaten path.

Great house with private pool!
This is our second stay at Mayan Lakes (different properties). We really like having an entire house with a private pool for our family. Having the ability to use the Mayan Palace for the gym, pool, or other amenities is great. It is a short drive to the resort. Great place!

Amazing and relaxing stay
Can’t say enough about this well kept property.. very clean , relaxing and quiet. We got to enjoy the hotel grounds at the Mayan Palace in our stay. It’s about 20-30 mins past Rocky Point but the beaches and water are amazing this side of the sea. Totally recommend this place!

Beautiful Home
The home was absolutely perfect. We had 6 total (3 adults and 3 kids) and we had plenty of space. The only issue we had was slow draining sinks in the master bathroom. We had no issues gaining access to the Mayan and it was only a 4 minute drive to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay

Great experience
We had a great experience with this house. From booking, to the stay, to check out. The house was clean, AC worked great, water was hot, kitchen was awesome. We didn’t use the pools at the house because we went to the Mayan Palace daily to hang out, as it’s a short 5-8 min drive away. It was nice to be able to escape the resorts for a quiet crowd free evening at home. We had a great time. Hosts were very available to answer questions before and during our stay. We will stay here again.

Mayan Lakes
We were hesitant to book a place that wasn't right on the beach, but we absolutely loved Shauna's house. The beach is just a 5 minute drive up the road at the Mayan Palace and it is absolutely breathtaking. We spend the days at the Grand Mayan but it was nice to come back to this peaceful house after all days of activities . The house was well appointed with everything we needed. VERY clean , bright , spacious and was perfect for our small family. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing house with us. We will be back :-))

Perfect property to relax
We have visited Puerto Penasco several times and wanted to try something a little off the beaten path. This was the perfect property to relax and enjoy the quiet. It was right before a busy holiday weekend but the house was super quiet. The kids loved having pools right outside the door. The adults enjoyed the rooftop deck and looking at the stars. The resort was a short drive away and we spent several days relaxing at the resort beach and eating at the restaurants (the bridge is fixed). The internet was fast and we had several movie nights after swimming all day. Highly recommend!

Deceptive location
The map pin in listing is way off. It looks like the unit is right at the golf course, which is why I chose it. The unit is actually in the Mayan Lakes complex, which the listing avoids mentioning. The unit is somewhat run down and needs maintenance. It was not cleaned very well. The rental manager was unresponsive.

Secluded but beautiful
We all enjoyed the house. It worked great for our group. We were pretty much the only people on the property for most of our trip and that was nice. The beach and resort are really close, yet it was nice to get back to the quiet, secluded house in the evenings. We didn't have many issues. There was a DVD player that didn't work, and the kids' room got bright in the morning without a real curtain. There weren't any fitted sheets on the beds. We asked the concierge but never received them. Thankfully we brought some extra blankets. The kitchen, dining room and living room were perfect for hanging out all together. The sectional couch is perfect and our kids loved stretching out on them. Overall, it was a great place to stay!

Misleading property posting
the home itself was very well kept and spacious. However when you arrive to the house is looks as if it is something from a horror movie. The properties around the home is unfinished and looks awful. When we checked in no one at the resort or property rental had any idea of where the home was. Once checked in the house had no hot water and even after they came to fix was extremely limited and had to have the shower turned a specific way. The ocean and resort are about 10-15 minutes from the actual house. This is not ocean front property. As much as I was hoping for a better stay I would not recommend this property to anyone or ever stay here again. Please also keep in mind that this house is at least 30 mins from the actual town and is a journey if you are wanting to be near night life or any life in general.

This property was excellent, it was wonderful to pull up in the driveway and enter a place like this. So much better than traipsing miles and miles at the Mayan resort to get anywhere. There are 3- bedrooms , each with comfortable beds and their own climate control with exit to the well manicured outdoor space, and a huge kitchen with anything you could need. The best feature was the master bathroom shower which had a sliding glass door that exited to the outdoor shower by the pool. Top of the line appliances including a convection oven and washer/dryer made our trip easy. We used the grill a couple of times, and we took the kayaks onto the estuary right behind the house. We used the two pools at the house daily and loved the view of the tide-filled estuary from the roof deck with our morning coffee. We used the fireplace on the roof deck in the evenings, did a little star gazing, and made some smores. There is even a sink up top, so you can wash your hands after eating a sticky marshmallow. We also used the large Mayan Lake pools as well as those at the Grand Mayan. The restaurants/bar at the Mayan we top rate; later, we were surpised to get a 15% discount at check out. Woohoo! Love this place.....we'll be back.

So much fun!
The property was great. The hot water heater broke the last day we were there, but didn't affect us at all. We were worried for the owners, because we know it's a pain. We were happy we were there to let them know. It's an interesting experience. You are in the gated community pretty much by yourself. All of the homes and apartments were empty. I personally felt like that was more of a positive than a negative. We had everything to ourselves. There is a post apocalyptic vibe to it as if you were the only of your neighbors to survive a nuclear holocaust. Again, hard to see the downside to having it to yourself. Pools at the house weren't really usable, because they were not heated. I imagine that is different in the summer. We had to drive to the Vidanta, but we didn't feel like that was a huge inconvenience. We usually drove there after breakfast and stayed until dinner and then went back to the house for dinner. Played at the gorgeous golf course and pretty much had it to ourselves as well. Felt too good to be true.

Golf getaway
We thought the place was nice when we arrived. However, one of the AC units was not working and 2 of the 3 bedrooms were 84 degrees. We called for repair and then our experience went from good to bad. They said they came at 10 pm to fix and we did not hear them. Since our guests were sleeping on the couch because of the inability to sleep, if this was true, we would have heard them. They expected us to sit home all day and wait for repair. We did not go there to sit in house. Needless to say the property management was poor. In addition, many things were not working like the microwave. There was no garbage can or any where to put garbage. No refund was given for not being able to use 2 of the 3 bedrooms. Felt ripped off!
