We loved its atmosphere, very quite and give us perfect privacy. Staffs are super friendly, they even went through all the trouble to get our money back from local agency which gave us frustration of standing up chitchenitza excursion bus. Breakfast isn't buffet, but I even loved it more. Honestly I would stay here again.

Near yet far from the crowds of hotel zone, this is a five room bed and breakfast. When we stayed in February, we were the only guest. A two person team took good care of us. We even had the fresh dinner every night and great breakfast in the morning, which was included in the stay. Few things to be noted, the bar is only on paper, no choice, could even get a martini. The absentee owner, i think does not care. They can offer a van ride to the hotel zone, but they do not. Though the main road is about half a mile but for us it was a drawback. the guests are expected to pay in cash Wonder why? The CC machines do not work. Otherwise a cozy place to enjoy the lagoon and peace.

My wife and I just returned from our week-long stay at Casa Margarita. I will say up front that this hotel is fantastic, so long as you realize what you're getting into. This bed and breakfast is kind of on the fringe of what would be considered the "Hotel Zone", and even then it is on a peninsula that is isolated from the main thoroughfare by a golf course and a bridge. Now, I'll break down some of the main points to take into account when considering a stay here. Transportation: You're not in the resort center, so walking most places generally isn't an option. The one exception is walking about 20-25 minutes to Playa Tortuga. More on that in a bit. The most convenient, but more expensive option, is to taxi. Most trips will generally be $100-300 pesos (~$5-15 at the time of our visit) depending on the time of day and how far you're going. Even in the relatively quiet district that Casa Margarita is in (Pok-Ta-Pok), we were able to find a taxi within 5 minutes of walking out the front door. The second option is taking the local buses. This option might seem a bit scary at first, but after one or two rides we found they were actually quite quick and not a big deal. Routes R1 and R2 will go most places you would be interested in going (Hotel Zone and Downtown) and one of those buses comes to the stop that is about .5 mile from Casa Margarita every minute or so...probably more frequently. Lots of buses. A bus ride was $10.50 pesos per person, or about $.60 USD. Alternatively, you can pay $1 USD per person to ride. As with most things there, it's a better deal to use Pesos. If you use Pesos, the bus drivers can make change. The fees are one-way, so you can ride all the way to the end of the line, at which point you'll have to buy another ticket to go back. Accommodations: This is where Casa Margarita excels. For the price, I'm not sure you're going to find a better room in Cancun. Beautiful lobby and kitchen. Marble floors in the rooms and a wonderful bed. At least in our suite, the bathroom was incredible, and probably rivaled the square footage of the room. Huge tub with jets, large glassed shower with "rain" type shower head. Large walk-in closet with safe. Nice balcony if you're into that sort of thing. We never used ours, but the rooms have large, modern, HDTVs. The one minor detractor was that you have to ring a bell to get into the property, since they keep the outer gate locked most of the time. We never had an issue with someone not immediately coming to open the door, but if the staff is busy or in other areas of the house, you may have to wait a bit to get in. Breakfast: The breakfast was usually quite simple, but delicious. You're not going to find the huge spread that you would find at a resort, but what you will get is delicious fresh fruit, eggs, fresh salsas, quesadillas, beans, and so on. We always just ate what was being served, but from interactions I saw with other guests, they were pretty accommodating with special requests. Some people asked for just fruit and one guy asked for a bowl of cereal and they gave it to them with a smile. Staff: The staff were extremely gracious and friendly. We got two free Coronas when we arrived, so I'm probably biased. Only a couple of the staff are fluent in English (the awesome receptionist, Nina I think, and the manager), and a couple more understand a little bit, so I'll admit that being a decently capable Spanish speaker probably made things a bit easier for my wife and I. Amenities: The pool was always VERY clean. The back patio area has luscious green grass and plenty of benches, chairs, and tables for you to admire the lagoon or enjoy the evening sun. There is a hot tub as well. We used it once. It was nice but it never did get very hot. This could have been user error, though, since it is somewhat "do-it-yourself". Don't swim in the lagoon. As signs all around will tell you, it's a massive crocodile area and there have been instances of attacks in the past. Just ask the locals. Can I walk to the Beach? Yes, albeit it depends on what type of beach experience you want. The closest public access beach you can walk to is Playa Tortuga, to which we walked every day but one. There are reviews for the beach on Trip Advisor. If you want a chance to hang out at a beach and relax like the Mexicans, Playa Tortuga is the place. The restaurant located there, Three Amigos, has tons of shaded tables and chairs you can use. The only stipulation is you have to buy something. Otherwise there is a rental fee. No worries though, you'll want to order something. Their cocktails were all delicious and HUGE ($7 USD for what had to be a 32 oz Margarita!), the beer is reasonably priced and always cold ($2-3 USD), and the beach food (ceviche, nachos, guacamole, fried fish, etc.) is on point. Some local vendors walk the beach selling other foods that were delicious as well. Don't worry, they aren't pushy. For the most part, you are left alone to relax, only occasionally interrupted by the chill waiters (who speak varying levels of English, but usually enough to get the job done) asking if they can bring you a fresh beer. Another bonus, is that the water at Playa Tortuga is MUCH calmer than most beaches, so you can actually swim. In summary, I think if you are looking for a hotel that gives you peace and quiet from the raucous hotel zone (I'm looking at you Coco Bongo), the flexibility to visit Downtown, and a smaller, intimate setting, it would be hard to do better than Casa Margarita.…

The trip started great. The hotel arranged my transport from the airport, albeit at an inflated price. Check-in was easy. The room was lovely. This hotel is in a residential area, so you will not like it if you want to be walking distance to restaurants, etc. Getting a cab is tough, so you will either need a car, to be prepared to wait for a cab, to walk a few blocks to the Holiday Inn to catch a cab, to pay the staff lots of dollars for transport, or to walk 15 to 20 minutes to the bus stop. The bad: The hotel charges (not authorizes) your card for the full amount on check in. This is not usual at upscale properties. I was the sole guest for four of my five days at the property. For a single woman, this is creepy. You have to ring a buzzer to get into the hotel, so you can only hope the staff are available and attentive on your return. One evening, I stood outside for 20 minutes waiting to get in--not okay. I could speculate about the reasons for delay... If you book an excursion through the hotel, be prepared to pay double the fee charged elsewhere. It is a shady deal as the staff will only accept cash to book the trip for you, a clear indication they are pocketing the 50 percent markup. The worst: A day after I departed, there was an extra charge on my card. I contacted the hotel, which said it was an error, and they intended to charge me 2 pesos for a drink, not the $25 fee on my card. The hotel was initially cooperative, and the charge fell off after a week. But then two weeks later, the charge reappeared. When I contacted the hotel again--radio silence. I ended up having to dispute the charge through my credit card company, a huge inconvenience because my credit card company shut down the card classifying it as fraud since the hotel KEPT MY CREDIT CARD INFO AND CHARGED IT WITHOUT MY AUTHORIZATION. That said, let the buyer beware. The hotel is clean. It faces a lovely lagoon. It provides respite from the main, touristy drag near all the massive resorts. But it is not the best-run place. If you are going as a couple or with friends, the inconveniences may be worth it, but do be aware of the markups on excursions and the fact that the hotel may put unauthorized charges on your card or charge you in dollars when it should do so in pesos. Oh, and the wi-if signal is weak, and the water needs 15 minutes to warm up.…

My sister and I recently stayed 2 nights in Casa Margarita and if we had to do it again, we wished we would have stayed longer. Everything was fantastic! The staff is wonderful and bends over backwards to make your stay enjoyable- the night we arrived, they had the Mayweather vs. Pacquiato fight on the TV as soon as we walked in, knowing I was looking forward to watching it. Small details such as this is what makes this resort stand out from the chain of hotels across the lagoon. The hotel used to be a mansion which is now transformed into 5 private suites situated along the lagoon. Breakfast is free daily and Sophie made the best breakfast in the morning. There is a private chef who can prepare anything for lunch and dinner with a 2 hour notice, so they can get the freshest ingredients. Genesis made the best ceviche I've ever had for lunch and an excellent salmon for dinner. It was just so nice and relaxing to be outside laying by the lagoon (but it's not swimmable) or the pool and then sitting under the tiki hut for lunch and dinner. I highly recommend people take advantage of this option instead of eating at some restaurant in downtown Cancun for some mediocre food. The staff caters to your every need- big thank you to Genesis, Sophie, Rodrigo, Oscar and Nelly. We stayed in the Suite Margarita which was fantastic- the room was spacious, the balcony looking over the property and the bathroom was everything you need. The grounds are pristine and you can tell how much care is taken for this property. The staff was exceptional and I can't wait to visit again- I was actually sad to leave Casa Margarita to stay at the 5 star hotel, Nizuc for the remainder of our trip. The attention to personal details and customer service is the reason to stay at Casa Margarita. …

Beautiful Villa with 5 guest rooms. Located in a residential area it is a very welcome alternative to all those bid resorts across the lagoon. We very much enjoyed the individual service and want to say "Thank you so much" to Mauricio and Nelly! Only negative point we have to mention is the door bell. The buzzer is only in the office room and when they are somewhere else in the house they can't hear the bell ringing. we had to call them twice (with expensive roaming costs) to open the front door. But we will definitely go there again!

The best kept secret in Cancun! This place is simply amazing. Only 5 rooms here and a staff that bends over backwards to make sure you have anything you need. It's like staying at your own private mansion on the lagoon with your own personal staff. It's very clean, the rooms are huge, and the food is excellent. Although it's on the lagoon, it's a short taxi to the beach or you can just walk to the bus which is only 75 cents and will take you to any of the beaches. Nelly, Genesis, Mauricio, and the staff are all amazing. Made good friends and had a great time.

The title says it all!!!! I have to confess that we were (selfishly) reluctant to post such a wonderful review as we're concerned that it will become popular and (thus) difficult to secure future reservations. However, this place is so fantastic that others should be able to experience it as well. We have traveled extensively and have never had such a decadent vacation. The staff go above and beyond and our expectations were far surpassed. For example, we arrived very late. We were greeted enthusiastically by Nellie, who immediately offered us any beverage of our choice. I asked for "a red beer". Within 10 minutes I had my "red beer" however it wasn't until the next day that I found out that Genesis (our wonderful chef) made a trip to the grocery store to purchase tomato juice as the kitchen didn't have any. In the morning, Sophia cooked us an amazing breakfast complete with fresh squeezed orange juice and made to order (from scratch) entrees. The staff go to extraordinary measures to insure every detail is attended to. We will return to the casa margarita next year and in subsequent years. I will be posting an additional review when we depart. Thank you Genesis, Nellie, Sophia and all who make this place magical!!!!…

We only got to stay here for one night on our way back home from our honeymoon and I can't tell you what a treat it was! I was truly sad that we couldn't stay for another night as the service and quality of rooms is impressive. We were honestly waited upon, hand and foot. This place is truly the definition of a boutique hotel. There are only 6 and we stayed in Suite Margarita, which if you're willing to throw down the cash, it's totally worth it!! The bathroom is the best thing about this suite. It has a steam shower/sauna and a whirlpool tub in the room!! For the last night of the honeymoon, this was perfect and exactly what we need after a long day of travel and coming from 12 days of horrible beds in another country. The staff at Casa Margarita made our only day/night here, a very special one. They cooked us a special dinner of our choice, out on the dock that overlooks the lagoon with champagne and music. I will mention that this place is all-inclusive but in all the best ways. They will cook you whatever you want(within reason, obviously!), all-you-can drink top-shelf liquors and they have access to a premier beach club as this place in not located right on the beach. We didn't need the beach, we just wanted peace and relaxation and top-notch service and that's exactly what we got here.…
