Villa Maya also offers dive boat pickup right at the Coral Princess Hotel adjacent to the home at no extra charge for 4 or more guests!

As soon as you enter the courtyard, your gaze will be drawn to the dramatic sculpture of Chac Mool, the Mayan storm god, as he presides over the freshwater swimming pool studded with tiny blue and green tiles. The pool's water gently laps the edge of the broad cobbled patio blooming with a variety of potted and rooted tropical flora.

On the north and east side of the courtyard are 4 of the 5 guest bedrooms including the master bedroom. The master bedroom features a king-sized bed and sitting area. This room has a view of the sea. Two of the three other courtyard bedrooms each hold a king sized bed and a twin bed. The fourth bedroom, which is very small, has 1 double bed. In the cabana, the fifth bedroom affords you a spectacular sea view through sliding glass doors and a king-sized bed. It also has a new and enlarged bathroom. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and air conditioning.

On the ground floor is the kitchen, living room and dining room and 1/2 bathroom. A wall of solid glass sliding doors affords you a panoramic view of the beach and sea. You also have the option of a food service plan. Our cook, Isabel, consistently gets rave reviews from our guests.

The snorkeling here is spectacular. You can enter the water via a short ladder. You''ll see the kind of sea life that is usually available only to divers. The photo below was taken right below the shoreline in front of Villa Maya in water about 12 feet at its deepest.
