We stayed for 5 nights in late February as part of our Riviera Maya visit. Alain and Christine were very friendly and welcoming.  Alain is very knowledgeable about the area and things to see, and was always happy to offer help. We heard from Christine that she originally bought this property from a Mayan family who built using traditional construction keeping with the Mayan theme with an artistic touch.  Their creative, artistic endeavors transform the community. They have expanded the number of rooms and added many improvements. The landscaping is beautiful and lush, including a large Ceiba tree, mango and many others. Our room was kept impeccably clean, and we felt very safe and at home. 

Original Mayan construction oasis

The many charms of this wonderful tiny village of casitas, ensconced in a lovely tropical garden, brought us back to peaceful Puerto Morelos for the fourth year in a row. Christine and Alain have created something very special and rare, a world apart from the tourist resorts that line much of the beach from Cancun to Playa del Carmen and beyond. Christine and Alain are friendly, warm, and generous spirits, and they have poured their hearts and souls into creating and maintaining this beautiful little oasis. We have stayed in 3 of the 8 suites and looked at all the others – each is very individual and thoughtfully designed, from one that is small and cozy (and inexpensive!) to others that are larger and more spacious. Two are authentic Mayan huts that have been sensitively adapted for the modern traveler; all have nice bathrooms with beautiful Mexican tile work, and all were very clean and neat, as were the common areas.

We always enjoy our conversations with Christine and Alain, about the past, present, and future of Puerto Morelos, world affairs, animals, art, and life in general. And as animal lovers, we thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the elegant cat Mis-ha and the three sweet dogs Taxi, Nena, and Tati.

Puerto Morelos itself is a refreshing change from the more touristed parts of this region – much quieter and less crowded, yet with a variety of good restaurants and cafes and fun things to do. We enjoyed exploring both the tourist-oriented beach side of Puerto Morelos and the locals-oriented town side. We no longer rent a car while here; it is so easy (and ridiculously cheap) to just take taxis (5 minutes and 30 pesos from Kinsol to the beach) or the ADO bus for longer trips. All in all, Casitas Kinsol is a unique and lovely place to stay, and an exceptional value compared with the much higher prices of beach resorts and condos. Also the short 25-minute drive to/from the airport make it a very convenient first or last stop if you are visiting other areas. Highly recommended!

Unique and lovely - the BEST place to stay in Puerto Morelos!

Christine & Alain have created such a Special oasis in this welcoming town of Puerto Morelos!  The peacefulness of the plant-filled courtyard and the lovely rooms...made  the very reasonable prices surprising.  It also meant alot to me, that they welcomed my cat!  I ended up having a crisis due to my credit card being "eaten" by a bank atm machine....had to delay my flight out by a day...and Christine really Stepped Up and Totally Saved the day for me (with Alain also helping!)  I will never forget their Kindness to me...very Special people...a rare thing these days!!

Amazing Kindness!!

I had a wonderful and inspiring time staying here and met the nicest people. It was beautiful and well kept courtyard and my room was just perfect. It was clean and had everything I needed. I highly recommend staying here and I hope to be back in the future.

A place of inspiration

This past Christmas break, my wife, best friend, and brother literally stumbled upon this little piece of heaven after unsuccessfully securing our hotel reservation on the other side of town. It was the first night of our trip and getting dark outside. We were all getting worried, until we met Alaine, who together with Christine, would later prove to be the absolute perfect hosts one could ask for. Besides taking us all in for the next two nights, unannounced, they enthusiastically helped us realize and execute our vague trip itinerary as only locals would know how to do.

 The setting and ambiance of the property feels like something out of a Mayan dreamscape. The hosts have the uncanny grace of leaving you to enjoy yourself at the right time, yet always being there for great conversation and information when you want. This balance assures that you feel right at home, while also a part of a wonderful new family. Alaine is an incredibly captivating and intelligent individual, and Christine is an absolute angel in every sense.

As a well-seasoned traveler and builder, it is with no exaggeration that I say that this is my new standard for what the very best accommodation can be.

THE best stay of my life

We stayed at Casitas Kinsol for 3 nights and it was heaven.  The courtyard is an oasis of green, and I even spotted a toucan in the Ceiba tree!  Alain and Christine are attentive hosts and have created a most relaxing oasis.  I highly recommend it for travellers who want to get a bit off the beaten path- it's only a 10 minute taxi ride to the beach, and allows one to experience an authentic Mexican town.

A little paradise on the coast

I stayed in Casitas Kinsol for one month in Puerto Morelos. I found the owners incredibly pleasant to interact with, and they were constantly helpful during my stay. The rooms are relatively large and comfortable and are cleaned daily. Most rooms do not have air conditioning, which is something to consider in such a humid environment, but I found that with the fans in my room I was perfectly comfortable. The rooms, which are all in a unique Mayan style, open on a beautiful courtyard full of different plants and flowers. There is also a comfortable relaxation area with hammocks that is a nice place to pass an afternoon. The chief benefit of Casitas Kinsol, however, really are the owners who constantly offer help and advice. Once, she even drove us to where we were heading after taxi drivers gave us an inflated quote. Casitas Kinsol is also centrally located in the town of Puerto Morelos (not the port, which is a quick and cheap taxi ride away) which allows quick access to anything one would need during their stay. I highly recommend Casitas Kinsol for anyone visiting or staying at length in Puerto Morelos who wants comfortable and affordable housing.

Hospitable and Interesting Place to Stay

Loaded with charm, quick to the CUN airport, the kindest hosts you're bound to find anywhere.  They take making recommendations very seriously...and will not steer you wrong. I come to Mexico several times a year.  I fly standby, so I cannot make reservations in advance.  If Christine and Alain have a room, I  am grateful!  It's surely the best value in Puerto Morelos...and beyond.  Plus their dog is cute.  Stay here, but don't take my room!
