La Tintinki, amaizing ocean view!!

Just finished a wonderful stay with friends. Lizette and Gino are gracious hosts. Communication was prompt and they were very helpful. Woke up to beautiful ocean views. Never needed ac as the ocean breeze kept the house temperature perfect for sleeping. Ended up falling in love with Chelem.

We wanted to stay for a month in Chelem and were so pleased with our experience at La Tintinki. Lizette and Gino were always available and responded immediately to any concerns or requests we had. The house is perfect for those who want to enjoy the beauties of the Gulf of Mexico and the low-key vibes of a small, coastal town.

The home was very comfortable and clean. The beach alm and restful, as we hoped it would be. Neighbors and beach walkers were friendly and welcoming. A great place to stay.

We had a wonderful stay at La Tintinki! Lizette & Gino are warm and gracious hosts. Attentive and quickly responsive. We enjoyed having morning coffee on the ocean front patio. The pool is great and deep enough for water aerobics! Air conditioning in the master bedroom was appreciated. A great find!

Lizette was a wonderful host. Very responsive and accommodating. She provided us with many activities, sights and dining options. The place was clean and beds comfortable. We enjoyed our morning coffee looking out over the water. Friendly people in the area. Great place to relax and unwind.

The photos are accurate but we were disappointed in the indoor and outdoor furniture. Both very uncomfortable. If you stay at this property you need a car as there is very little close by. The market on Monday is a Must, all expats with great offerings and conversation. Friendly town but most of the restaurants are awful so we dined in a lot which is not what we planned on. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. Lizette and her family go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable.

Was a great house right on ocean. Beautiful pool right on beach and nice sitting area for morning coffee. House only had ac in master bedroom. You open the doors and lock screens and house was cool. Wind blows right through and keep house cool. Can't wait to go back next year. Really enjoyed the hammock inside and out. Great rental place spent almost no time inside

We had a wonderful time

We stayed 10 weeks at La Tintinki hosted by owners Lizette and Gino. Not enough can be said about their attentiveness to our needs. No request was too big or small - all were met with the desire to fulfill and make our stay the best that it could be. And let me tell you about our pool ON the beach! A swim in the ocean or the pool….take your pick…either is such a nice way to cool down (even if this is winter time in the Yucatan…35C is still 35C, especially compared to what we came home to!). The house is designed to remain cool inside while you can still absorb as much sunshine as you want just 5 feet outside the patio doors. We did not turn on the AC even once during our stay. The fans kept us always comfortable in La Tinktinki! This 5 star rating is for Lizette and Gino who are second to none!

The beach in this area is eroding which brings the ocean closer to the houses. This might be why the well for this house has been compromised and is now salt. All the taps in the house and the pool are salt water. Difficult to rinse salt off your body and bathing suits etc. Apparently this has just happened so hopefully it gets fixed soon. Perhaps an inquiry prior to booking would be appropriate. We “borrowed” fresh water from another house on the property to rinse off after the salt water shower. Also very hard on dishes cutlery and pipes Also the kitchen is only 1/2 renovated and bathrooms need some help. But they are doable. The pros are: Great architecture, good beds , clean sheets, Nice towels. Good art nicely arranged. Great location. Secure premise.Dishes and pots and pans are ok. Could use another pot. Owners are responsive and very nice. Lots of furniture outdoors and inside. Appliances all work and are in decent shape. Any house this close to the ocean is very difficult to keep up as the salt rusts everything so appliances in good shape means they have been replaced recently. All in all a nice place The salt water well needs remediation but I’m sure the owners are on this.
