These romantic beach bungalows are perfect if you want to put some magic in your Caribbean vacation. Step out your door and dig your toes in the sand. You are surrounded by tropical greenery at Casa del Corazon, that is until you venture a couple steps out to the beach. Then it's the wide blue spaces of Soliman Bay and the Caribbean. And there aren't many people around to spoil it either. This location is private and peaceful, perfect for those who want to kick back in a gorgeous spot without the crowds. You can lounge around the swimming pool or go kayaking and snorkeling right from your beach side front door.

Your hosts Andy and Rosa are legendary in Soliman Bay, and are some of the nicest people you could hope to meet. They take care of their guests like they're old friends and want them to feel welcome, so they provide kitchen essentials and usually a couple bonus items until you have a chance to get to the area market (nearby Akumal or Tulum). Haity and Jose are the daily caretakers and keep the gardens and bungalow interiors in tip-top condition.
Casa del Corazon has sea kayaks for paddling around Soliman Bay. Snorkeling the coral heads is another favorite activity for the energetic. This is a delightful and romantic place to spend your honeymoon or anniversary, and it's also excellent for either one or two couples who want their own space, and still be able to share the fun with each other. Many have enjoyed Casa del Corazon and many return here again and again. Without a doubt, Casa del Corazon in one of the best on the beach!
"We loved Casa del Corazon. It was exactly what we were looking for in a place to stay! In terms of the type of house, its more secluded location and the care and attention of its owners and staff, all combined to make for a marvelous vacation. I would recommend it highly to anyone - although we liked it so much that we don't want to tell too many people for fear of it being totally booked. We will definitely be coming back." - Suzanne
