Hana and Enrique fell in love with each other and with Casa del Mar Bonito right around the same time! They met in Playa del Carmen when Hana was visiting the Mayan Riviera on vacation, escaping the New York winter. It wasn't before long that Hana was moving where Enrique was, becoming a yoga and meditation master, retreat organizer, continuing to compete in Ironman triathlon at an elite level. Enrique is an investment banker and serial entrepreneur. They spend time between Monterrey and Playa del Secreto, Mexico, San Francisco and the French Riviera.Enrique Collado purchased this house in 2015
Casa Del Mar Bonito sits on the best beach we have ever experienced in Mexico. As pristine as the Cancun beaches, but with a smaller surf which makes playing in the ocean perfect. The house is laid out well with privacy for all bedrooms - the master encompasses the entire second floor. Tile work throughout the house is magnificent. The pool is within a beautiful garden area at the front of the house rather than on the beach. We found this to be a really nice, quiet area to relax after getting so much sun in the ocean. And the tile work here is also great, especially the built-in tile loungers. The owners provide a ton of towels and kitchen dishes, etc. Even set out some \"Off\" bug lotion which we should have used before walking the beach at night. There\'s no such thing as perfection, though and there are a few items that one wishes could be improved. In this case, the house sits between a vacant lot and a boarded up structure that was either a house or a small hotel. The beach location has taken it\'s toll on some of the home\'s appliances and fixtures. And the staff of 4 is still being trained by the owner to provide guests with a first class experience. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to return!
The house was beautiful and the beach was incredible. We were very impressed with Betty, (she is an amazing cook and house manager) and the rest of the staff were also excellent! Everything was top of the line, it was way more than we expected. One of the best vacations we have taken. We will definitely be going back and relax in this beautiful villa.
I hesitate to write such a great review about this house because I want it to be available whenever I want it... but... this place is fantastic. Beautiful home, great pool, amazing beach, and amazing staff. Betty runs the house during the day, and she is so helpful and an amazing cook! Suzanne is great with coordinating the trip and Ernesto, the owner, called us a few times to make sure we were doing ok. 1 million stars!
My family and I enjoyed fully this magnificent property for a week. The house was in excellent condition, the staff very efficient and everything worked out perfectly. Bedrooms and baths are ample and comfortable as well as the dining, kitchen and lounge areas. The pool is surrounded by nice palms and tropical trees with a gorgeous fountain. The pristine sandy beach, just steps away from the house is very safe for adults and children. If you wish to relax and enjoy a perfect and tranquil vacation, Casa del Mar Bonito is just the place you look for. We will surely return to this Caribbean paradise next year.

We arrived there on July 1st to spend a week. Amazing house on a wonderful beach. Everything was fantastic we really enjoyed every corner of the house. Betty and her staff were very attentive, great hosts. Betty is a great cook!!! We very much enjoyed her ceviche and panuchos. The house has many spaces to spread out and relax: of course the beautiful white-sand beach, a wooden palapa with some hamacas to chill out, the pool with plenty of outdoor furniture, and several terraces and balconies. I cannot say enough good things about our experience at CMB and would recommend it to anyone who wants a fantastic and memorable vacation.
