Cottage Grande is the largest of all of the cottages inside the very private walled Villa Makax. The patio faces the west looking towards Cancun, with beautiful views of sunsets over the turquoise waters of Cancun Bay and the soothing pool. Just sitting here will take your breath away. You can step off the patio into the warm salt water pool or walk a few steps to the beach.

Restaurants and beach clubs within walking distance and the Turtle preserve is a short walk south down our beach. Our guests can be picked up for their Isla Mujeres water tours at our private dock on the laguna side.

Villa Makax's four cottages are very cozy and tastefully decorated. Each cottage has a king sized bed, seating area, smart TV, fully equipped kitchenette, refrigerator, full bathroom with shower, air conditioning and ceiling fans.

The other three cottages at Villa Makax all have private entrances and patios:

    We had a truly lovely, relaxing stay in this gorgeous traditional Mexican cottage, with amazing views over the pool and the sea. It was wonderfully peaceful, and the hosts were very welcoming. Juan and his family, who look after the property, were fantastic. Their son-in-law kindly ferried us around the island in his taxi and showed us different places along the way, which really added to our experience. A fantastic stay overall, we would absolutely love to return.

    Such a beautiful property! We were moving from a house on the south side we had shared with our adult children and moved to this location after they departed. We have stayed all over the island but never in Sac Bajo. We would 10 out of 10 come back to this location. Seclusion, peace, beauty, tranquility at its finest. Thanks for an amazing stay, we will be back!

    Well, we picked the right place to stay, for sure! Our cottage was very comfortable and relaxing. A breathtaking ocean view; your own private beach; and, just steps out the front door and you’re at poolside. It just doesn’t get any better!Steve and Lindell (sp) are wonderful hosts who immediately make you feel right at home.And, when we chose to explore the island, we just fired up the golf cart (you rent them) and hit Adventure Trail! Multiple beaches to visit, swim with the dolphins, delicious restaurants and, of course, shopping galore!No doubt about it…we’ll visit again. And, when we do, our accommodations will be the Villa Makax, baby!Ron & Inajo Gray

    Casa Makax is on a quiet part of Isla Mujeres and has only four units with a beautiful pool and an incredible view of the gentle waters between Cancun and the island. If you are looking for a great place to just chill out, this is ideal.

    We had a wonderful time during our 4 nights at Villa Makax! The property was clean and comfortable, with a view of the pool and the ocean. We loved the privacy and easy access of the beach, and used both the beach and the pool daily. We met the owners, Steve and Lindell, who were so welcoming and fun, and gave us lots of great restaurants recommendations. We rented a golf cart to get around the island and would definitely recommend that for this location on the peninsula. Highly recommend a trip to Isla Mujeres and Villa Makax!

    Our stay was wonderful. The Casita was very cozy and had everything we needed. The location on the island was perfect. Steve & Lindell (the hosts) were very nice and accommodating. Juan and his wife keep the property looking beautiful. We couldn't have asked for more. We highly recommend! Thanks for a fantastic vacation!

    The whole experience was wonderful. Owners are in their cottage and socialize occasionally. They are very nice and helpful. We had a golf cart for the week which made coming and going all over the island very easy. Cottage was clean, bottled water dispenser inside, ice cube trays and full size fridge. Pool was super, about 50 steps to the sea. It's exactly like it looks in the pictures.

    We had a great little villa along with three other villas on a private property with pool and private beach. We enjoyed our neighbors in the other villas which was nice treat. Relaxing stay and easy going.

    This was our second time staying at Villa Makax and we enjoyed both times very much. (I highly recommend getting a golf cart to get around the island.) We love the relaxed atmosphere, private beach and pool. We really enjoyed the newer lounging area, it was nice to visit with other guest and get to know them. Steve and Lindel are super nice and full of knowledge of the island and great places to eat. Juan was quick to help out with anything we needed. ? I highly recommend Villa Makax is you want a relaxing vacation!
