This was our 3rd stay in one of Chris and Victoriaâs places in Palmar. Each condo has been super clean, comfortable, and friendly. Chris and Victoria (and LaĂs) are very helpful, flexible and quick to respond. We will definitely be back.
We so enjoyed our stay at Palmar and Sharkey Shack.
The condo was perfect and Chris and Victoria made us feel right at home.
We are already planning our return.
Amazing place. Clean and accurate description. Managers were helpful and nice.
Wish we had taken advantage of the visiting chef for authentic Mexican food but we didnât see it in time.
The property was great. The listing was exactly as described. The views were amazing and the spacious condo allowed for personal space for all. We are already thinking about our return trip!
Thanks Victoria and Chris!!
We truly loved our stay at Sharkey Shack and intend to visit again! The condo itself is perfect with four bedrooms! Kitchen is very well stocked! And loved the washer and dryer. The pool is lovely, enjoyed the game room and the gym is decent. We will be back!
This is a great condo for large groups or families to share!!! It is beautiful with a fabulous view and plenty of room. The condo was spotless and very well maintained. The managers provided lots of amenities (soap, hair dryers, coffee maker, etc.) so we did not need to worry about a thing when we arrived!! When we go back to Cozumel we will certainly stay here again!

Another spectacular Palmar condo
This was our 3rd time staying with Matt and Elizabeth at Palmar and our first time in 7H. This unit is pretty spectacular, especially if there are 3-4 couples, there are 4 BR and 3.5 BA so nobody gets in anybody's way. The unit is decorated and furnished beyond expectations, the staff keeps it spotless. The views are unbeatable. We wouldn't think of staying at Palmar without utilizing Matt and Elizabeth's' attention to detail. We booked for 2019 before we finished our 2018 visit.

Perfect vacation in a lovely condo
We have stayed in many places on the island over the past 15 years of which include all inclusive resort, homes, and other condos. This condo was by far the most exquisite condo we have stayed in. The view was a million dollar view and the property managers Elizabeth and Matt were million dollar managers. Elizabeth was very attentive to all my questions prior to arrival and this quality of service continued after our arrival. This condo has a breathe taking view from every room and the amenities of this property are beautiful. We will be staying here again in October as it really does feel like a home away from home.
I booked this condo for a weekend getaway with myself and 6 of my cousins. The condo was spacious and beautiful, the kitchen and bathrooms were all wonderfully provisioned. There was water and snacks when we arrived, and we appreciated the many towels for pool and beach time. It was much more convenient to be able to do our own laundry and cook our own meals, as well as be able to have everyone in one place. The condo is close to a number of restaurants and shops and the beachfront, though a bit far from downtown, which is great as the area was not overrun by tourists. We spent each evening on the balcony, looking out at the sunset, and also a lot of time in the pool, just relaxing. Security was also helpful in calling cabs for us, and giving recommendations on restaurants and nightlife. A great stay, would gladly recommend!
From the comfort of the beds, the spaciousness of all living areas, and the quality of amenities, we were definitely impressed with the high quality of this apartment. I was very impressed that all the bedrooms were sizable as were the bathrooms. The bed linens were luxurious and there were many towels available for beach & bath. The photos do not do this place justice.
With 6 adults living in a shared space, it takes a special place to provide the comfort of home and the spaciousness so you don't feel like you are living on top of each other. Unlike many so-called fully stocked kitchens, we were so thrilled to have a fully functional kitchen and plenty of kitchen dishes, etc. so we were not cleaning constantly to be able to make a meal.
The wireless internet was fast and the TV had many US channels (good for watching those college & pro football games).
I'm so glad a friend recommended the Palmar Condominium complex (my friends also rented a two bedroom apartment in this complex which was different but just as nice).
I do have to say that all our friends think I am the hostess with the mostest for booking this condominium. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if we return to Cozumel.
We stayed in this condo several weeks ago. It really is a wonderful property. The building is clean and nicely landscaped, and the condo itself is spacious and modern. The view from the balcony was lovely and we enjoyed watching the cruise ships come and go. We had two small kids with us (3 and 6 years old) and while there werenât any toys or games for them (we brought some of our own), they had tons of fun swimming in the pool (which we often had to ourselves), playing tennis, playing on the swing set and in the little play house, and playing fuseball and ping pong. The trampoline unfortunately is not in great shape and we wouldnât let them jump on it. But overall this property was lovely. No sandy beach to walk to, but we rented a car and went to several beaches over the course of the week so it all worked out.
Unfortunately the biggest downside of our trip was our encounter (not in person) with the property managers. We asked them to come mid-week to look at something about the showers, and when we returned in the afternoon we were greeted by a nasty 2-page note on the counter (complete with capital letters, underlines, and multiple exclamation points) complaining about the state of the condo. It was patronizing and rude â including the statement âwe are shocked at the condition of our condoâ. I couldnât believe it (had we broken things unknowingly?), and exchanged emails with them to find out exactly what we had done wrong. It turns out the entirety of the âshockâ was based on a piece of toast and some crumbs left on the counter (we left in a rush that morning) and a bed that we had moved and taken the mattress off so our daughter wouldnât roll off onto the tile floor (something we fully intended to put back before we left). The managers then went on to scold us further, and said they pride themselves on their condo being âperfectly cleanâ. They knew fully well we were bringing small children with us, and as anyone who has ever had small kids knows, they tend to be messy. How are we supposed to keep the condo âperfectly cleanâ while I am staying there? Especially with two small kids? It was truly as if they had never gone into one of their properties while the tenant was there, and only saw it after their housekeeper had cleaned up. They said they were worried about bugs, and I understand that, but first, there was no information in the large binder they gave us on bug prevention, and second, the me
We stayed Christmas week with our adult children and their significant others. The place was perfect for the 6 of us. Some of us scuba dove, while the others just chilled. It is located directly across from the Southern cruise port, so we watched the ships come in daily. There were plenty of restaurants to walk to, and the super market was a short drive away. The kitchen was well equipped enough that we were able to cook a prime rib dinner with no problem. Victoria and Chris were very easy to work with and very helpful. Would definitely stay here again!
My partner and I had a wonderful time in Cozumel and Christopher & Victoria were excellent hosts. They were always available by email or text and Lais was there at the drop of a hat to address any issues (of which there were minimal) and questions we had. The place was spotless when we arrived and we had enough of every staple we could need - I had forgotten Qtips and was thrilled to find a stash in the bathroom. The beds were comfy, the view was beautiful, and our location was convenient to everywhere we wanted to go. I hope we get to visit again. Thank you, Lais, Victoria, and Christopher.
We had an amazing time staying in Cozumel at the Palmar condo. We went for diving and Dive with Martin picked us up across the street and took great care of us.
The property was amazing and spacious! I had also sent my grocery list ahead of time and they did a great job getting what we needed for our 5 day stay.
The hosts were very communicative and responsive to our questions. Will for sure stay there again when we come back in a few years !
Enjoyed the detailed communication prior to arriving. The unit was clean, cool and inviting. Loved all the cleanliness of the units plus the amenities. Owners provided snacks and pantry items to get us started. We loved the security and all the staff personnel at Palmar. We definitely will come back again! Thanks for the hospitality!
Sharkey Shack is an absolutely beautiful condo in a great location! It is close enough to town (25 minute walk) and close to the marina (we're divers). The owners are great with communication too - we will be back!

Perfect condo for large family or couples
My family of 6 stayed Christmas week. The condo was a perfect home base for us. We rented a minivan and toured all over the island. Elizabeth provided great detailed instructions for their guests on how to use the condo as well as tourist things to see and do. The condo is well stocked with towels, water, and the little things you always forget on vacation. I cant think of anything we needed and the condo didnt have. There is a supermarket very close as well as many restaurants within walking distance. I strongly advise renting a car while visiting Cozumel to see the many things available on the island. If we return to Cozumel with the family we would not hesitate renting this condo again.
This was our first stay in this particular condo; however, we have stayed at other units at Palmar the past two and a half years. The location is excellent for diving, snorkeling, restaurants, etc. As always, Elizabeth & Matt were exceptional with their level of customer service as Property Managers. They provided a tremendous amount of information prior to arriving, checked on us during our stay and were always there if we needed them. Our group, of 8 adults, was very impressed with the amenities, condition of the condo, location to town, shopping, restaurants, snorkeling, diving, etc. We highly recommend staying in this unit. We look forward to our next stay in Cozumel at Palmar.
Beautiful place to stay. They have something for everyone. Very clean. Would stat there again. Loved it
