VIDA Chelem-BRISA vacation property

We had stayed in VIDA-Chelem for 6 nights and loved every minute. Jairo was a great host who was both kind and professional. If we wanted to swim in the pool or have private access to the ocean, both were 30 seconds away! Literally! The room was incredibly comfortable and we were really impressed by the attention to detail. Whether you needed a toaster, apple peeler, or a hammock, Jairo thought of everything. Overall, my stay was relaxing, comfortable and uplifting. I highly recommend.

This property is great. The common front porch is a gorgeous place to sit and relax and stare at the wide open sea. Nice beachfront and easy place to swim.

Location and property are excellent. Victor was super friendly and helpful. Only the owner was there during our stay, who was a very gracious host. He gave us several recommendations to visit. When the battery of our rental car died, he offered up his car. But we already had called the rental car company who dispatched help. But JR called his brother who was able to jump the car and we were able to cancel the service request and went our way. The place to be for folks who enjoy nature and like to interact with locals.

Probably the nicest villa in Chelem. Great location & beautiful place to swim in the pool or ocean. The owners & caretakers became friends. We look forward to our return next year.

The property is as advertised, and Arturo is very helpful, kind and informative. We are going to stay here again. Thanks, Denis

This is a jewel in a dream. A place I did not think could exist. Clean, tidy , with access to the ocean, and food, all within walking distance.

Very hospitable..I wish all places were the same level..staff was extremely gracious

The hosts are incredibly gracious, the room and grounds are immaculate and the location is fabulous-on the beach and in walking distance to town restaurants, shopping and public transportation.

The beach is so beautiful, calm and sargassum free. There is so much to do in the area: Ruins, tour historic Merida, or just relax. I did not want to cook on my holiday and the beach house is so close to 3 great restaurants, walking distance to El Bull Pen, Martinis and TacoMaya. If you do want to cook Merida Costco is less than 20 minutes away or great grocery store in Progresso. There is a grocery store in Chelem too. The property shows pride in ownership and the managers Kim and her husband are just a phone call away.

We have been using VRBO for more than a decade and this is the best service we have had at any of the units we have rented. Victor the on site person was friendly and very accommodating and is working on his english which was always a lot of fun. When the internet went down, Don, the local property manager brought over his own cell router for the remainder of our stay. There was suppose to be a washing machine for our use which was broken, however, the local laundry service was very inexpensive and did a good job. The complex is privately walled and feels very safe and secure.

Kim and Stan were wonderful. Victor maintained the property beautifully. The overall condition was excellent. Rooms were clean and stocked properly. The only complaints are no reading light or chair and internet was not available most of the time. Kim is aware of these issues and they will be remedied. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We will return next year

First of all, Kimberly was great...so helpful. Secondly, the Yucatan is such a lovely place! We visited Mayan ruins, swam in cenotes, and ate delicious tortillas made fresh by local residents. The seafood in Chelem is awesome. Then the place. We stayed in the BRISA room/apartment in VIDA Chelem. Not too fancy, but everything we needed and steps from the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. Every morning watching the fishermen and the pelicans while sipping a cup of coffee. Then later in the day, enjoying the cool water (December/January) with warm air and tropical sunshine. Then... New Year's Eve in the Yucatan...Quite the celebration! Burning the old year and launching Chinese lanterns... music and dancing in the streets. Want to go back soon!

This studio unit is a bit Spartan, but a view of two other units found them quite nice. No heat for cold mornings, until a small space heater was provided, and there is a small ant problem. Plastic outdoor chairs broken and need replacement. Decent location, on the beach and small walk to grocery and restaurants, in old town, with signs of an area ready to grow. Good response from managers.
