    Lovely place. We only spend one night, between a visit to Mexico City and our return flight to Brussels. We booked a taxi with booking.com. Really worth it. Lovely pool on the roof and excellent breakfast.

    A wonderful base to explore Cancun, especially if travelling by car

    (It was not a problem for us because we were travelling by car) but the location is a little out of town (15minutes drive to the city center, shopping malls etc). And from the entrance of the villa to the accomodaiton itself, you would have to walk some 500meters / 5minutes if you do not have a car.

    Elegantly furnished apartment, spacious room (Room #3, 2 beds, complete with a big balcony where you can dry your swimers, etc). The full breakfast - fruits, toast, milk, omlets. Plenty of space to park the car right in front / next to the house. The entire villa is gate controlled by the securit staff 24hours. Feels very safe, although Cancun generally is safe enough.

    Can really say I didn't like anything. It was a nice home away from home. Would stay again and will let friends and family know about it.

    Arturo was great. He was very hospitable and gracious. Cooked breakfast every morning and it was delicious. He was helpful with questions that I had. Wonderful time. The only thing I had an issue with was the shower was very weak. Once I brought it to Arturo's attention he had it corrected and 100%better.

    Good location, Nice big room and pool. Host was super nice and helpuful and also cooks breakfast in the morning. Perfect stay for last night before flying home. Really close from the beach

    Don't pay attention on the smile, ther wasn't enough space to comlete my comment :). Another aspect that pleasantly surprised me is the location. First of all, you will find 50/60m from the property the only free access beach within a radius of 40km or something similar. A Caribbean beach, with fine white sand, beautiful palm trees and free straw umbrellas with a view of Isla de Mujeres and the Hotel area. As an exclusive but underrated place, you will always find parking, plenty of space on the beach and little noise! ​​In addition, in the surroundings, you will find the best authentic seafood restaurants, cheap and of quality, humble in presentation, but with a unique and authentic goodness of seafood. For culture and history lovers, a 10 minute walk will find the Mayan archaeological museum - El Meco. Divided by the road, one part of the museum is located in the nature reserve, the second part instead on the Caribbean beach! The museum is small and can be visited in 2/3 hours for lovers of details. Inside the museum area you will also find an authentic pyramid, in the natural reserve area. There are bike paths all over the city of Cancun, and if you are interested, you can arrange a bike with Arturo :). Alone, with family, as a couple - you will find this property as the best possible choice. PS. No 5-star hotel can give you such an inclusive and immersive experience as Casa Lara! Love you Arthuro!

    Hello all travelers. Allow me to share this incredible experience with you. It was my first time in Mexico, specifically in Cancun. Not knowing the place, I had to do the search for the house, as criteria I evaluated: quality/price, location, services, safety. To be honest I found much more. Casa Lara has given me new friends. Upon your arrival you will find the owner named Arthuro - an exceptional and exquisite person. I wish all the owners were so polite, helpful and friendly. A friendship was created. The structure is beautiful, (all the photos on the site correspond to what you will see in person, in fact, perhaps they do not really convey all the beauty that you will find) especially for those seeking authenticity and contact with nature. Casa Lara is located inside the fenced residence and with a 24-hour security guard on site (for those who want to rent a car) in front of the sea. You will find many unique and exotic objects as furnishings, because the host's family loves to travel, so who else can truly understand what a tourist might need and how to make them feel at ease! The rooms are clean, well-kept, spacious and have everything necessary for an independent experience. All the rooms overlook the nature reserve. Every morning you will wake up to the pleasant singing of the typical local birds and with the fauna in front of your still sleepy eyes that will make you feel like the king of the jungle :) The rooftop pool is a brilliant idea, after long trips during the day, there is nothing better than diving into the fresh water with a breathtaking view of the reserve. Lara Casa's breakfast is a phenomenon in itself. I believe there are few hotels in the world that offer a breakfast handmade with passion and creativity, varied and served with typical Mexican music in the background - a marvel. If you decide to provide your own meals, you will find a fully stocked and hospitable kitchen at your disposal.

    Sliding door screens need repair of tracks.

    The people, Arturo, Jessica and Christina made the stay very pleasant. Arturo was born to host this of kind place.Breakfast was great as previously reported in old reviews. Location is a plus, near a new archealogical site , away from the heavy tourist area and just across from beach. Beach shoes needed on beach. Beach bars are rustic but well organized with excellent food and service and price. Casa Lara is on quiet location that suited our needs. To go to busy areas such as stores we used Uber with no problems. Uber has better cars and are much cheaper than taxis.This location was the key to enjoying the whole area by being at the edge of the busy Cancun.

    Casa Lara is a gem! Super comfortable bed and the entire home is exceptionally clean. The daily breakfast was so much better than a restaurant and presented elegantly. The beach is right across the street from this gated community with several restaurants in the vicinity as well as an OXO. Wifi was dependable throughout the home. It was nice to sit on the balcony of my room and feel the breeze off the ocean. Many thanks to Arturo and Yessica for sharing your home and smiles 🙏

    In our room with own bathroom the drops were falling from the ceiling. During the night it was like in a cave.

    The owner was very helpful. The house is in a good location if you travel from the ferry terminal next day. There was everything we needed. The breakfast was great, drinking water was available all the time. Beds were really comfortable. Nice equipment on the roof, including the pool.

    Good location, close to the beach, bus stops and plenty of local seafood restaurants. The staff is very professional and helpful. We enjoyed different delicious breakfasts every day, including fresh fruit. The owner rented us two bicycles for a symbolic price, giving us more opportunity to explore famous sights of Cancun.

    Hurricane Beryl, which was to that time.

    We loved it. It was next to a beach in a safe area with security. To the city center and hotel zone it was some minutes by car. But fortunately Uber was avaiable. Because of the hurricane Beryl we weren't able to stay the full time. We could have. Our host Arturo gave us all options which were possible with the option to stay in Casa Lara or the Casa next to it, where the first level was a little bit higher in case of flooding. We wanted to be sure and moved to a hotel near the airport. Arturo and Christina welcomed us very warmly and made very authentic Mexican breakfast. Very friendly and courteous people. Thanks to both of you! Best Hanan and Moni
