My husband, two adult daughters, mother-in-law and I spent 2 weeks at Villa Oceana over the Christmas/New Year holiday. The home forms a horseshoe shape around a lovely pool, with lots of space to spread out and relax. Very comfortable with a well equipped kitchen and comfortable living spaces. The beach is about 50 yards from the house, with beautiful low tide pools., and perfect location for sunset viewing. Surfing on Playa Carmen is about a 20 minute beach walk. One item to note: the rooms in the home are at different levels, which was difficult for my 84 year old mother-in-law to navigate.
