Not Kid Friendly!
Traveler Review By: Anonymous from chicago, Illinois
Date of Visit: March 2006
We recently stayed at Sandy's Villas, the first night someone tried to break into our 2bdrm villa, we have 2 small children and to say the least this scared us right out! We told Christina the mgr about it the very next day and coincidentally her partner manager later that day asked US for the key so he can make a copy of it in town! Did they realize theirs' may have been missing? Someone definitely slammed our door shut in the mid of the night. There were mini taranchula spiders, don't know the correct spelling but described them to another local and that is what they were. These were IN our villa, along with geccos found dead in corners of the villa, and alive on the ceilings again IN OUR VILA. Don't stay here without a car, there is nothing around even in walking distance. The mini store they have took 2 days to find, and this was after my husband had to drive into Puerto Morales in the rain, in the dark searching for a store to buy toilet paper! They do not supply it after your first roll!! This was very stressful to be worried about the insects, and break in the first night, the pool was too deep for our 2 year old which they said was great for kids, even a picture on the website which strangely looks like the manager and her kid...hmmm. I wouldn't go back. We even went and stayed somewhere else in Cozumel and tried to call them to check on things, let them know, etc and NO ONE EVER answered their phone. We tried for 2 days and even upon our return to gather our things NO ONE was around, OFFICE was closed up and Christina's house had no signs of a car, people or anything. This was a pretty creepy place to stay. We had no working cellular phone in our villa which was promised in the ad, we literally had to beg for one (with little kids you need this) and finally the manager hunted us down and still charged us $10us to even borrow it, which was suppose to be included in the rental. I would have liked to ask for a portion of our money back but I could not find anyone to talk to. I will not be back there nor refer anyone there.
