Casitas Kinsol Guest House - Room 8

Beautiful room, excellent hosts, an amazing experience! :)

We loved Casitas Kinsol guest house and hope to come back some day. As advised we visited Puerto Morelos for many of our meals going to different restaurants and the "fruit" stand . Advice: stay in a fishing village, rent a car , snorkeled and learn about the wonderful people. We loved Tulum, Play de Carmen, Sian Ka'an, Isla Mujeres, and the many anicent Maya ruins. The guest house is a perfecct place to stay and travel from.

It was a very short stay, only one night. We really enjoyed the space and met some very nice people who were also staying there. Our host's were most gracious and helpful as well! Hut #8 is awesome. I wish I could give it a 4.5 here!

was at the end of a long drive through the yucatan and was a real gem of a place that i wish i had booked for a few more days. magical

I had a very nice stay at Casitas Kinsol. It very much matched my expectations based on the information on airbnb. Christine and Alain were very nice, and offered helpful advice when requested. My entire stay went smoothly, and I was able to enjoy my weekend of rest and relaxation.

A hostel with room service! Wow! We stayed in room 8, which is private but you can still join everyone else in the main home if you want too and everytime we went out we would come back to the bed made and our rubbish cleared. Thank you Alain for all your help and advice and an extra thank you for spotting that the certificate on our car was about to run out because we did get stopped by the 'police' (they are a joke but very intimitating) that same evening. Do take Christines advice on carrying two driving licenses as we stopped twice and only handed over our international paper liciences and kept a few dollars in our wallets so when we were stopped ( it happened twice) the 'police' had no choice but to take what we had and let us go. We highly recomend Kinsol.... Thank you for having us!

Christine and alain are awesome! Very kind, nice and good people! At the time i was at kinsol, i had some personal problems, but they helped me, talked with me, went out with me and so on.. And the house was very clean and nice! Nevertheless after a few days i decided to go to another place. On the obe hand cause of my personal problems, but on the other hand because they poison the walls of every room, so that the vermin and other small reptiles die. I got a terrible headache, everytime i went into the room, and i couldn't deal with the fact that i saw dead reptiles distributed all over the room every morning, when i got up. (sorry, but that's the truth) After i told them, that i couldn't stay in this room, cause i'm too sensitive on such toxins, they didn't give me money back (what i can understand somehow, but on the other hand it's neather nice nor what i expected) They say they have to do this, cause of the guests. So PLEASE be aware, that you go to MEXICO! Vermin, reptiles and every other form of animals are normal, and part of their nature! Stay at home if you can not deal with this!! Thanks, monika

I had a very nice room at Casitas KinSol that was cleaned and spruced up everyday. Allen and Christine go above and beyond hosting. They genially care for and bond with their guest. They were very engaging, helpful and caring. If you want directions to the coolest, non-touristy attraction ask Allen and he'll make you a great map!

I came to Puerto Morelos thinking it would be a "pit stop" to follow my journey to Belize. I was wrong! It turned out to be a very pleasant stay. Christine and her husband answer all my questions and recommended me all the best places in town. The places I chose to go where amazing!! The people of this town were so cool and helpful. I will definitely come back to Casita Kinsol in the near future!! Nothing compares this experience to a hotel... enough said!

Casitas Kinsol is a true treasure! I really enjoyed the theme, especially the outdoor kitchen. The location was perfect, the neighbourhood is very Mexican and food was cheap and accessible by foot!

Un lugar mágico para quienes buscan una experiencia diferente, en contacto con el espíritu de la cultura maya y sus raices, cómo una maquina del tiempo. Casitas Kinsol te permite disfrutar tu estancia con lo necesario; agua caliente, luz y camas confortables, pero al mismo tiempo tienen un ambiente rustico y se encuentra en el pueblo de Puerto Morelos lejos de los grandes hoteles y zonas turísticas, lo que te permite conocer cómo vive la gente local. Los anfitriones son muy amables, en todo momento disponibles a ayudarte.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Casitas Kinsol. I loved being away from the beach in the colonia. The room was clean and cool. It was a very relaxing and peaceful experience. Tessa, my dog, and I will be back to visit our new friends in Puerto Morelos very soon!

The guest houses at Casitas Kinsol are wonderful, rustic, little cabins in the "Colonia" of Puerto Moreles (the east side of the town away from the ocean). The accommodations are comfortable and nice reprieve from the overdone tourist hotels. Staying in the "Colonia" has its perks--like some of the best food we ate on our trip to the Cancun region, e.g. a delicious seafood cocteleria, the carnitas stand, and my favorite--fried bananas with cinnamon churros from the street vendors, all for a fraction of the cost of the restaurants on the coast-side of the region. Alan and Christine were very helpful and accommodating--I only wish we were able to stay longer. Things to know: there are more mosquitoes in the eastern areas; and the Casitas Kinsol are in a neighborhood with people and lives, and are not as quiet as some other places. Bring bug spray and ear plugs (if you're a light sleeper).

Casitas Kinsol is a charming and tranquil place in the colonia of Puerto Morales. Because of itinerary adjustments I could only stay 1 night, rather than the 3 I had intended. I didn't get to see much of the town, but I did walk around a bit and found a lot of little neighborhood kitchens and tiendas nearby, along with friendly local people. It was easy to get a local bus or taxi to and from the beach. Christine and Alain are courteous, welcoming hosts who've opened the outdoor kitchen and sitting area of their home to visitors as a common area to cook, eat, and hang out. Alain was full of helpful tips on what to do in the area. I found room #5 to be a cozy and nicely decorated second-floor room, with good ventilation and a large bathroom. I woke up to the sound of roosters crowing and birds singing and was greeted by the friendly resident dogs. I would recommend this place to travelers who don't mind being away from the beach zone. I would stay there again.

The casita was everything I expected it to be. I had done my research, read its description, looked at all of the pictures, and read dozens of reviews by former guests. I have vacationed in Mexico fo rthe past 6 years and have always stayed in the smaller hotels, preferring them to the larger resorts. This time around I chose the Casita because I was going with my "children", (they are in their 20's), and I wanted them to experience the "real" thing albeit in a comfortable, clean and safe place. Furthermore, my intention was to use the cCasita as our base and venture from there to Cozumel, Akumal, And Player. As I have said, my expectations were met, and I love the creativity and artfulness that Christine has put into her place. This all said, I feel I must inform potential guests that my daughter and fiancé experienced the plight of bed bug bites. Andrew, in particular, woke up to dozens of bites on his hands, arms and legs. Upon telling Christine, she responded that we were in the jungle and bug bites are common, that they were possibly mosquito bites. We are from Maine, we are more than well aware of mosquito bites, furthermore, Andrew researched the bed bug and the bites that he and eliza had were of those depicted in the pictures. Christine said she would fumigate our room while we were gone, what she should have done was to throw away the mattress in that room (number 4 loft). Upon returning to the casita later in the week, the kids were intent on not staying there at all. Although I did not ask for any money back, ii had paid over $400 for a two night stay. Hopefully she will use the $ to buy a new mattress, there is evidence of bed bugs all over it. I feel I would be remiss in not writing this as bed bugs are a serious issue.

Casitas kinsol was a pleasant oasis in the quaint town of Puerto Morelos. The owners Christine and Alan were very friendly and helpful when needed. I enjoyed my stay and will be returning to Casitas Kinsol very soon! Thanks Alan and Christine for aiding my first ideal Yucatan adventure!

A lovely, tastefully done place in a Mexican town - as opposed to a touristy location. My room was very comfortable and had everything I needed and hosts who were helpful and recommended great spots to eat and drink. I would definitely return and thank Christine for her great hospitality.

This was a very cute little place, with local flare. The owners were super helpful and we followed their advice on many suggestions and had a great time. They also had a huge suggestion list which was very helpful. There were some aspects that come with the area that you have to be prepared for: lots of stray dogs and mosquitos - this is nothing that the owners can influence though but you should be ready for it ;-) Overall I was glad to stay at the place. I would suggest to go to more touristic areas - the downtown beach square is super nice place to start!

I stayed twice in Casitas Kinsol for a short stay. Christine is a very friendly host, just as Alain, with who she runs the guesthouse. They both are nice to talk to about a lot of things! They also have plenty of ideas how to make the most of your stay. I have great memories of them and Casitas Kinsol :)

I really enjoyed my stay with Christine and Alaine. They were wonderful hosts and full of ideas/information to make our visit to the Yucatan the best. I will definitely stay with them again when I return again to the Yucatan. Puerto Morelos is much more laid back than Cancun or Playa de Carmen....my kind of place.
