Guest Access:

The Neighborhood:
As you cross the bridge over the lagoon to El Cuyo, youâll see tons of pink flamingos, so get your camera ready! Then, as you enter the little town (donât worry, itâs almost impossible to get lost), youâll notice a few little restaurants and a couple of mom-and-pop shops where you can buy some essentials and snacks if needed. *Note: there are no big grocery stores, no ATMs, and alcohol sales are limited. So you may want to think ahead and pack what you need and bring it with you!
This quaint little charming town has a main square (el zĂłcalo) with local restaurants that offer the freshest, daily-caught seafood! If not into seafood, other places have anything from pizza to burgers to traditional Mexican dishes. The best part is that everything is within walking distance!
Here are some RESTAURANT recommendations:
- Anahata Café & Bistro (breakfast cafe steps away)
- Naia Café & Restaurant (breakfast, lunch, coffee, smoothies)
- Casa Cuyo (just 3 blocks from the backside of the house)
- El Chile Gordo (Great for exquisite Mexican food, with an 8-course menu. Reservation is required.)
- Casa Palma (Pizza & pasta with an Argentinian flair, located on the west side of the pier, 4 blocks away)
Here are two very famous nearby nature ATTRACTIONS:
- RIO LAGARTOS (1 hour 30 minutes or 97 km | 60 mi away) â a protected biosphere reserve that is home to many species of birds, most famously known for flamingoes. Itâs a bird watcher's heaven!
- LAS COLORADAS (1 hour 45 minutes or 115 km | 71 mi away). If you havenât heard of Las Coloradas, well, itâll now be on your bucket list for sure! The cotton-candy pink-colored lakes are filled with salt and mined twice a year. Note that there is parking at the lakes and an entrance fee.
WATER SPORTS & Other Activities
- Kitesurfing (the uncrowded shallow waters, wind, and perfect conditions at El Cuyoâs semi-virgin beaches make it a dream spot for kitesurfing!), boat tours, snorkeling and scuba Diving, ATV/Quad tours & of course, watch the sunset from the pier! You can get sunsets and sunrises in El Cuyo!
Getting Around:
When in El Cuyo, you definitely wonât need a car because everything is within walking distance. However, if you plan to visit neighboring areas like Las Coloradas or RĂo Lagaratos, renting a car at the Cancun airport is suggested. If you arrive by car, there are 2 free parking spots on the premises.
The property is located approximately 3 hours (164 km/102 mi) from the Cancun (CUN) airport. The best way to get to El Cuyo (if not renting a car) is to prearrange transportation with a driver. If you have any questions or need assistance just ask! Weâre here to help.
Other Things to Note:
**The maximum capacity of this house is 8 adults and 2 children.**
