We just wanted to thank you so very much for the truly amazing stay.Honestly, it far exceeded our expectations. Your home is just spectacular… much more impressive live than on the Internet.Wow! The bedrooms and baths were just killer awesome… everything was just perfect and very comfortable.The views… they were so calming.Sitting on the roof at night, star-gazing and listening to the waves crashing on the shore was so special.Your beach with all the turtle nests is fascinating. In all our travels, we have never seen anything like it anywhere. It should be featured on the Discovery Channel or something because it is just way crazy jammed with nests.In conclusions, everything… and I mean everything was just so wonderful and so beautifully put together… the house, the staff, the food and the fun.We just loved our vacation and we look forward to our visit again next year.Again, thank you for making everything so special.

Thank you for the wonderful time you and your staff gave us during out “short” stay. Our 12 days were not long enough and the time passed much too quickly.Every part of Corazon de la Tortuga was special to us: the view from the roof was heavenly. We were fortunate to be here during the full moon which illuminated the ocean so beautifully. Our last night, the starts illuminated the heavens in all their glory.The 2^nd floor balcony and 1^st floor veranda provided an unbelievable panoramic view (almost 180 degrees!)/ The soothing sounds of the waves and cooling breeze really provided the relaxation we so desperately needed from the fast and demanding pace of the East Coast.They seemed to melt away the tension we came with -- walks on the beach, swims in the pool, swings in the hammocks and just lazing our bodies around the villa soaking all the details that make Corazon de la Tortuga so special.Zubet, thank you for the welcome beverages and snacks, as well as the special, cooked meals, helpful advice and booklet of information which made our stay easier.Alfredo and Maria are a joy to have around and really take care of the villa with such pride and devotion. They are truly an asset to have as part of the staff.We wish we could stay longer, but we hope to come back some day again.

We brought our family together for a respite and a visit and your home amply lived up to our hope for this vacation.The house is comfortable and elegant and it is such a beautiful site. The starry roof, driftwood and hardwood furniture and those great tiles with fossilized shells|!The staff was absolutely terrific and so pleasant and accommodating.Francesa’s towel sculptures were a treat — every day something new!We also loved Miele who made the place extra homey.When it comes to food, we thank Zubet for her restaurant recommendations, which were great, but after we tasted our first home-cooked meal by Jose we didn’t want to eat out any more.We thought he was outstanding on

all counts, flavor and quality of the dishes, presentation, and accommodation of menu to our tastes. We can’t say enough about his meals, which were a highlight of the day.Tortilla soup (any soup), fish with spinach sauce, shrimp skewers, and desserts to accommodate our sweet teeth. We thank Zubet for her care and quick response whenever anything was needed. She made us very welcome and at home. We are feeling great after a wonderful week at Corazon de la Tortuga.

A beautiful home, a stunning beach, perfect weather, amazing food – there truly is no other place like Corazon de la Tortuga.You have created a haven, a paradise in paradise.Every little detail form Josua’s delicious meals to Francesca’s towel animals to the wireless Internet service and those amazingly sexy & deep bathtubs in the rooms. It’s a gorgeous place to relax and wonder at the beauty of the sky and sea.I personally loved the privacy of your location and still having the ability to get to Tulum, Playa and Akumal so quickly. Being near Casa Cenote -- able to walk there – for an easy day on the beach and snorkeling—but without having to deal with other tourists – it’s a blessing!I’ve been to Mexico many times but this was by far my best experience. I’ll be back soon!

I wanted to let you know that we had an unbelievable stay at the Villa Corazon de la Tortuga.  The location in Tankah is a perfect setting to get away from it all.  Being right on the ocean is such a beautiful setting and catching the sunrise over the ocean is spectacular.  Zubet's home is an exquisite home.  The materials she used to the layout of the house she put such detail and artistic touches throughout the home -- it very comfortably accommodated two families with plenty of space for all to enjoy our vacation.Zubet was an unbelievable concierge, cook and host.  She provided us with plenty of brochures with activities around the area.  She was helpful in guiding us to interesting and fun places to eat and explore.  Zubet is an amazing cook---who provided us with 3 delicious meals with local seafood and produce of the area.  She also makes awesome margaritas, too!  She gave us helpful tips on managing around the area.  She truly helped make our vacation so easy and fun. We obviously can't say enough great things about the Corazon de la Tortuga House and Zubet.  This vacation went way beyond our expectation with the house, location and most of all Zubet! Please feel free to pass this on to future renters of her home.
