Tarpon- Beachfront Apartment (4 guests), Level 2

Enjoy and explore the Caribbean and its reef in this seclusive beachfront hideaway, located in the sleepy fishing village of Xcalak, far away from the hustle and bustle of the Mexican resort towns. Xcalak is a pristine destination for reef diving and fly-fishing since it is home to an enormous variety of marine life.
Caribbean Casa Blanca is a newly refurbished three story, beachfront villa, bordering the Xcalak National Reef Park. Xcalak´s tallest rooftop terrace offers spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea and surrounding lagoons. Your hosts, Elena and Lachy, from Cuba are both marine scientists, experienced and passionate divers; they will be happy to share their broad knowledge with you and to assist in anything you need. Lachy is also a great cook so if you do not feel like cooking yourself or venturing out, check menu options.
This second story apartment is perfect for families, couples or group of friends up to 4 people. The two rooms have a king size bed, A/C and fan, and a closet, and share a bathroom. The kitchen-living room is very spacious and tastefully furnished. The Kitchen is fully equipped among with a gas stove, a fridge with freezer compartment, microwave, coffee maker, water heater and blender. The living room has cozy sofas, A/C, a flat screen with SKY TV and a sound bar to play your favorite music. For your convenience, there is free Wifi and also a safe to store your passport and other personal belongings.
Get together with your friends or family in your private indoor or outdoor dining area and savor homemade stone oven pizzas, fresh ceviches or a yummy seafood grill plate, overlooking the Caribbean Sea and the nearby reef. Sip on an authentic Cuban Mojito or Margarita, while sunbathing or gazing at the starry night sky on our rooftop patio!
Get active playing beach volleyball, beach soccer or “boccia” with your family or friends under coconut palms on our huge beach backyard or kayak out to the coral reef just offshore for some snorkeling! Choose from a variety of board games or just relax with a good book in your hammock!
We are also happy to arrange diving or snorkeling trips to the local reef (the Mesoamerican Reef the second largest in the world!), fishing excursions as well as tours to mangroves and nearby lagoons where you can spot manatees and crocs.
Things to keep in mind: In Xcalak there is still no phone signal and second-class busses are only running twice a day between Chetumal and Xcalak. However, in our opinion, this is precisely part of the charm and adventure. Disconnect from daily routine and embrace your Caribbean dream vacation at Caribbean Casa Blanca.

Lovely view
There are minor repairs that can be done in the unit. It is a somewhat remote Mexican town. It has a lovely view, comfortable beds, a working kitchen, and a very peaceful vibe. It is not a Hilton. It was lovely for us. Peaceful.

Good stay at the beach
It's allaround visible that the owner wants to sell this property... many things would need to be fitted...

Accommodation
The view was great! The beds were very comfortable as were the couches. The kitchen was lacking cooking bowls, knives were not sharp enough to cut and doors to cupboards did not shut. Some doors were delaminating and one door had a hinge off. Unable to tell manager as he was not there when we left. Drinking water was refilled when we asked. Air conditioning in the bedrooms did not give cool air. Not sure why we were charged for extra persons when it was advertised for 4 people and there were only 4 of us. The community was very Mexican and we enjoyed that. Was disappointed swimming was not readily available but the view was outstanding as said before.

Great location for staying in town.
We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was extremely clean. The location was within walking distance to everything in town. (And lots of new restaurants in town, which is wonderful!) It was very nice having air conditioning and the hot water in the shower was probably the best in Mexico. I would recommend bringing soap and shampoo along with beach towels.

So relaxing!
If you are looking to relax and disconnect this is the place for you! Apartment is clean and very comfortable, with multiple areas to chill. The kitchen was fairly well equipped, shower had good pressure and super hot. Wifi wasn’t strong enough to stream Netflix, so make sure you download before arrival. Lázaro was an amazing host, going out of his way to help us, even did pizza for us one night which was delicious! Great place, and we will be back!
