Jun 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a wonderful stay at Villa Karina. The house is lovely and roomy, and we had everything we needed for a great week. Dora was so helpful before and during the trip- thank you! Highlights for us: the pool, going snorkeling on the reef with Joaquin and Kevin (can’t recommend more!!), having dinner cooked for us by Pablo for a couple of the nights, massages by the pool deck, dinner at Burger Underground in town, riding ATV’s and zip line adventure and playing games every night as a family!

We enjoyed most everything about the house. Everything was exceptionally clean well organized anything that had any problem was immediately addressed. The location is next to an adults only resort and a bit away from the beach activity. But cabs and Ubers are plentiful if you’re not up for a walk. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Bobbie H.

It had everything we needed. We had 4 couples stay and there was plenty of room for all of us. The property manager Dora is amazing.. She was always there to help answer any questions and set up any excursions we wanted to do. Pablo came to cook for us 6-7 nights. It was fabulous and better than going out. And its just a short walk down the beach to town. I'd definitely recommend this house. We hope to be back again. ##### brenda s. Stayed 9 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie C.

The house was very clean and the grounds were immaculate. Dora was fabulous. So responsive and thoughtful. Shauna, the owner, was a pleasure to deal with. We can’t say enough good things about both of them!!! We had a group of 9 ranging from 18-78 and everyone loved the vacation.

Dora is the absolute best concierge! She arranged chefs, massages at the house, and a snorkeling excursion of which we were picked up right at our beach. We hired Chef Pablo for dinners and Chef Rafa for breakfasts and both were great! If you rent this house, definitely hire the chefs! We were also grateful for the house keeper and the pool/beach guy. We felt very spoiled. We will definitely be renting this home again. xoxo ##### Sue B. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jody C. Dec 4, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Worth it! Just returned home a few hours ago. Book the Villa. The pictures don't do it justice. Book the chef and masseuse. It made the visit that much better. Only recommendation I have is to stock up on ice on your way to the Villa. The freezer can't keep up with the frozen drinks you'll be enjoying. Last thing, if you read in other reviews about the nude resort next door, don't even give it another thought. You won't know it's there. Enjoy! ##### Jody C.

This property is actually better than advertised! Yes, it's beautiful, spacious and close to town but our stay was made better by the wonderful people that took care of us. We rented Villa Karina for my husband's 60th birthday celebration and were joined by 3 other couples and our daughter. Throughout the planning process and during our stay Dora made sure everything was effortless. Dora arranged our airport transfers as well as a stop to Chedraui for groceries and drinks. The first night Dora set up Chef Pablo to come cook for us after a day of travel. Everything was delicious!! For my husbands birthday Charlie cooked us chilaquiles (my husbands favorite) for breakfast, along with fresh fruit and fruit juices. AMAZING!! Breakfast was followed by massages on the rooftop (Vicki and Gabriella were fantastic!) We lounged by the pool and walked on the beach until dinner, where once again, Pablo cooked a wonderful dinner and Tony the bartender made sure our drinks were never empty. Truly a day a pampering and relaxation. We had Charlie come back and make dinner another night, his surf and turf meal on the grill was a real treat for all of us. We walked into town almost everyday (it's about a mile walk on the beach) to shop in the town square & try some of the local restaurants. Our favorite restaurant was John Gray's, absolutely amazing and owned by Dora!! I had no idea!! The trip and Villa Karina were amazing! We hope to return soon! ##### Joan C. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer N. Feb 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Truly Magnificent! Nine of us spent a wonderful week in Puerto Morelos white at the splendid Villa Karina. The villa was extremely spacious, modern, and well-equipped for us, especially the kitchen! Dora was a delight to work with and made arrangements for excursions to Tulum and Chichen Itza and in-house massages during our stay. The housekeeper visited three times and kept the villa immaculate and the groundskeeper was there often maintaining the beautiful grounds quite well. The villa sits a bit north of town but is definitely walking distance down the beach if you're inclined. A taxi was quickly available whenever we called for one. The view of the sunrises is absolutely splendid as the villa faces due east. The bird watching was also terrific as the ocean breezes blew the sea birds quite close and we got great views of all sorts of gulls, pelicans,frigate birds, terns and so many more. The only real challenge we encountered was the difficulty of getting into and out of the pool. It's quite a step down to get in and a big step to get up with no handrails to assist you. We didn't find the kayaks that were mentioned in the listing either. The water from the taps was not potable, but plenty of water bottles were provided and we never ran out. These were all minor inconveniences and shouldn't stop you from staying at this amazing place! We loved it so much, we're in the process of planning next year's trip already and Villa Karina is at the top of our list for consideration! ##### Jennifer N.

Dora was a great communicator and answered any and all questions we had. She was very responsive. We had a chef and bartender for most days. Tony (bartender) was absolutely amazing! He was so nice and made the best drinks! Charlie and Pablo were the chefs and made delicious food! House was spacious and about 20 minute walk to town on the beach. Cute little town area with good restaurants. We could not have asked for a better vacation! ##### Allison J. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann K.

Beautiful villa in a gorgeous location. Our host Dora took care of all our needs and requests with a smile on her face and love in her heart. We will definitely stay there again. ##### Ann K.

Family gathering (from ages to 20-85) to celebrate a big birthday. The property was just stunning! We had room to gather and spread out. Dora helped us plan amazing excursions and made everything a breeze. Sweet town, sweet place! ##### Jill M. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Millie B.

This incredible villa right on the beach was a once in a lifetime experience to celebrate my husband’s 60th birthday with our whole family. The views were simply amazing and the house was even more impressive than imagined. There were 7 adults and more than enough room for everyone. Dora was fantastic from the first communications, setting up our transportation, to the walk through and answering every question possible in a prompt fashion. Pablo created a wonderful meal for us and all the staff (housekeeping, gardener, pool maintenance, massage therapist) were all friendly and helpful. We can’t recommend this property enough. Kudos to Shauna for sharing her gorgeous home with us. We are already looking at booking next year. ##### Millie B. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### David B. Jan 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Impressed! The home was in fantastic shape and well maintained. Great privacy with a large pool and the beach just 10 feet from the back gate. First time in Puerto Morales and we found the town refreshingly simple and safe feeling. With the direct flight into the Cancun from Denver and a short 30 minute drive to the home, it was great not to feel like too much of our vacation was devoted to travel. ##### David B.

Five couples went for a 40th birthday trip and had the trip of a lifetime. Dora is recommendations were flawless and the house was everything we expected and more. We cannot recommend this property, the owners, or the house manager enough. Puerto Morelos did not disappoint, it was welcoming, charming and family friendly. We felt so safe and taken care of by all the locals. Wonderful stay stay, five stars. ##### Chloe A.
