Peaceful & Perfect!
We absolutely LOVED our 4 day stay at Casa Playa Maya! It was the perfect quiet, restful getaway for my husband & I. Luis met us as we parked and gave us a tour, instructions, and answered all our questions. Throughout our stay, he was always available in person or by phone for restaurant & activity recommendations, setting us up with snorkeling equipment & kayaks, and any other thing we needed. Casita #4 was lovely - clean, well equipped, private, and comfortable in every way. It was nice to have our own deck overlooking the pool & a bar-b-q to use for cooking (on top of the nicely stocked kitchen.) The beach was fantastic with hammocks, lounge chairs, shade, and such a gorgeous view. We thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling for the first time in the clear, warm water with coral reefs accessible (a small one 50' from the shore and lots more out in the bay.) I highly recommend this place and the staff who manage it!

Beautiful casita on a glorious shelter bay
We loved it! Prompt communication with Glynis. Luis was an incredible host. The casita had everything we needed for a self catered 6 night stay. A car is recommended for freedom of moment to the surrounding area as there is only the restaurant at Jashita hotel. This is a secure community and we shared a private part of the beach with the 4 other casitas and the villa on the property. It is a stunning bay and we highly recommend staying here if you would like a quiet and relaxing holiday.

I have nothing but good things to say about our stay. The host was awesome and responsive to my questions. The caretaker Luis who lives on the property was great he was there for our needs. The beach is 100 yards away and snorkeling gear and kayaks were available for the guests use. You won't be disappointed.

Cozy studio
Very satisfied with this studio which we rented for 2 weeks. We arrived late the first night and we were exhausted! It was so wonderful that Luis was up and waiting for us - and helped us get our luggage up to our room and get us settled in. So appreciated that! The bed was super comfortable for us, everything was in working order, and Luis (on site property manager) was easy to contact and quick to respond to any needs. Soliman bay is a very special place to be. We spent quite a bit of time hanging out on the beach out front - using the kayaks and snorkeling in the protected bay. The coral structures, fish and warm water makes this a great place to spend time especially if you value a quiet environment to read, relax and chill out. Only occasional beach walkers going by. I would stay here again - my only suggestion to the owner would be to have 2 adirondack chairs for each cabana lanai instead of 1 so that 2 people can sit comfortably together instead of 1 person in “the good chair” and the other in a straight backed wooden chair that is not for long term relaxing! Again - loved it and would stay there again if the price point stays reasonable.

Absolutely wonderful place
This property is located on the most beautiful, quiet bay. The casita we stayed in was clean and well taken care of. Luis, the property manager was incredibly helpful and kind. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Peaceful stay
Overall we greatly enjoyed our stay. The room and pool were lovely day and night. Luis made our stay; he was very helpful and available. He gave recommendations on snorkeling and kayaking in the bay, authentic local restaurants and places off the beaten track to visit. The only thing we wish would have been proactively communicated in the listing or by the owners was the masses of smelly seaweed in the bay and along the Maya Riviera during this season. We still had a great time, just spent a lot less time on the beach.

Excellent place and stay
Everything was as expected and the place was clean, beautiful and close to the beach. The staff were great, owner communication was great. The only problem, which is completely out of their control and impacts every beach, is the Sargassum. It got pretty bad on our last few days, but we found other fun things to do (cenote, ruins, snorkling).

One of a kind property
If you are looking for a quiet, welcoming and warm beach location with a calm protected bay where snorkeling, paddle boarding kayaking or simply sun bathing is your thing, this is your place. The on property staff (a lovely English speaking husband and wife) are there to help you with all of your needs. This property is a top shelf vacation spot and we will certainly recommend it to travelers.
