Sommeil par le Blue Paradise

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely condo. The location is the clincher. This condo is second row from the beach. The beach as you know is beautiful. In arriving... I did note how 'tired' some of the decorations were and at night I was a bit uncomfortable with the 2 flat pillows in each pillowcase. The mattresses are past their prime. The positives: when we were short of wine glasses management came immediately with replenishments. When the shower curtain fell down, maintenance gentleman came quickly and patiently fixed the rod. The condo was clean, the bathrooms are spacious. The one bathroom upstairs has an unusual shower head that can only be turned on by a taller person. ( my parents are short... and needed me to turn on the shower). We gave them the master bedroom upstairs as it is on the same floor as the kitchen and the living area. Condo is reverse living. The kitchen is pretty well supplied... ( you need a better wine opener though- when you are in need of a good glass of white wine.... you look desperate as one struggles LOL!) . The view from the balcony is very nice if you can mentally block the first row condo's flat roofline.

The mall right across the condo was a saver with the large supermarket on the top floor. I even got some of my better souvenirs on the first floor and booked a tour from one of the kiosks. The 5 star mall down the street is walkable (15 mins). I have already recommended this VRBO condo to friends. Bing Yang responds quickly. Thank you!

We had a wonderful time at Villa Marlin in unit #209. The owner was great to work with, and very responsive to any questions. This was our first time in Cancun, but won't be the last. The condo worked perfect for our needs. We had 8 people and was very comfortable. We really liked the location of the unit. Just steps from the pools and the beach (softest sand I have ever felt). The front door of the condo has a keypad, so no keys. This is very convenient, we could be at the pool, and quickly run back to the kitchen for snacks or a drink refill. The complex has 3 pools, plenty of room for everyone. The security is very good, and their are lifeguards for the beach. The condo is well furnished with the basic necessities, coffee maker, toaster, blender, plates and utensils. The cookware is a bit limited, so don't plan on cooking large meals. But there are many great restaurants very close(La Distileria is just across the street, I would highly recommend going there). There is a washer/dryer in the unit, so no need to pack too heavy. There are also ample beach towels. The complex and the unit are a bit dated, but very well maintained. It is comfortable and safe, ideal for families not wanting 5 star accommodations but a nice, clean place to stay. We enjoyed it very much. The Kukulcan Mall is across the street from the complex. There is a place to exchange money, several shops and Soriana grocery store. We visited there several times. There is also a small convenience store in the condo complex that is good for ice, drinks & water. We went to La Isla Mall several times. It is a kilometer north on the main road, about a 10 minute walk. We felt very safe walking, there is ample security everywhere. La Isla is a very upscale mall, but has several affordable restaurants that overlook the lagoon. Many will give you free drinks for eating there (first round). There is also a movie theater there that we visited. It is very affordable, we paid $28 USD's for 8 people, and $16 for snacks for everyone. We would also recommend visiting Aquaworld. They have many water activities there. It is about 2 KM south. We took the bus and was there in about 5 mins. The buses are reliable and cost 10 pesos per person. Cancun is a get place to visit. Villa Marlin and unit 209 is a great place to stay while you are there. You won't be disappointed.

My husband and I stayed in 209 for a week. Location, location, location! Literally steps to the pool and just a few more to the beach. The views from the patio are stunning. Best shopping and restaurants a few more steps away. The condo is quite functional. Its clean and well appointed for a beach condo with all the required amenities like beach towels, blender, new cookware, washer/dryer and WIFI!

We'll definitely be back to this unit! We've been coming to Villas Marlin for almost 20 years. This has been one of our favorite condos.

For the newbies-Fish Fratanga is one of the best kept secrets on the island. Order the coconut shrimp, shrimp mignon or the grilled fish. You can't go wrong at Lima, LaHabituela Sunset, or Hacienda Sisal. All within a 5 minute walk. The Tequila Grill at Kulkulcan is a great place for breakfast. If you want to venture a little further, our favorite restaurant is Lacondo Paulo in old Cancun where Italy meets Caribbean culinary skills.

Not to be overlooked is the guacamole at the poolside snack bar.

My husband and I travel a LOT for work and pleasure. Villas Marlin, and now condo 209, is my favorite place ever!

My whole family had a blast. There was 10 of us 8 adults 2 small boys and we all fit perfectly we did bring pack-n-plays for the boys to sleep in and it work out fine.

The complex is really great. 3 pool areas one of them with a bar-snack bar. Steps from the beach. The whole team from security to cleaning lady were very nice.

We cooked all of our breakfast and lunches and went out for dinner, a lot of places within walking distance and if you need a cab just call security and one is there within 5minutes.

Is located right behind Kukullcan plaza which has a Soriana inside, we did all of our grocery shopping there.

Another great this that we got to experience was baby sea turtles. They have nests being protected right on the property and at night they let you help to bring them close to the ocean my kids loved that!

We took advantage of the washer and drier specially having the two boys it was a must.

They only thing we wish is that it had more kitchen supplies like pans, more cups etc other than that we had a fantastic stay.

Our family of 6 spent a week over Christmas and had a blast! The condo was perfect! Plenty of room to move around, steps from the pool, and the beach was beautiful! The location was convenient to restaurants and shopping! We felt perfectly safe walking around day or night...on the street and the beach. Helpful and friendly staff. Can't wait to rent it again!
