The house itself is beautiful, with wonderful accents and art, antique wooden furniture in the bedroom, lots of natural light and a lovely outdoor patio near the pool. The bedroom and shared spaces are modestly decorated and very functional and comfortable. I felt perfectly safe and at ease while I stayed there.
Daniela, the primary caretaker, and the woman who works with him, Renata, were very gracious and kind, serving a fresh and delicious breakfast and insisting I don't do a thing to help.
The property is very quiet and serene even though it is also walking distance to anything you might need in Cancun, including a main street where it is easy to catch a taxi, which I did to return to the airport. The beaches are not too far away and generally everything seems easy to get to. Also not a far walk is a clean and very well-kept park with benches, playground, and a meandering path around it. Locals walked in the neighborhood and in the park, with their dogs on leashes or with kids. Felt very friendly and homey.
I would return to Cancun JUST for the pleasure of staying at Cielito LIndo. I picked the property randomly and I don't think I could have made a better choice if I tried. Truly.
