Great service, the room layout is fantastic. You should just stay here, really. Do it.

The Canadian owners, Karen, Kenn & Wanda have taken an excellent piece of beachfront and turned it into an oasis of peace and beauty. Whether you sit in the sun, shade, or swim in the ocean, it just doesn’t get any better than this. We previously spent time on the north shore of the Yucatan (Chuburna, Chelem, Progress... | 5.0 | No Exist |
This is a great place to stay just outside funky, unique Celestun, on the beach. The more expensive rooms are well worth the extra pesos. There is no AC which was no problem at all for us in November but you should be aware for some of the hotter months. Wanda, Ken and Karen are very unique individuals who work toge... | 5.0 | No Exist |
For the price breakfast should have been included and you have to pay extra to have your room cleaned or fresh bedding. It’s ok if you are there only 2/3 days but any longer, not so nice. The rooms are nice and everything pretty much like the pictures. There is a big water bottle in the room with a nice automatic dispe... | 4.0 | Thank you for taking the time to give us a review and we very much appreciate the comments about the kayaks. We have been busy here since October and have not been in them so we had no idea that some of the strap hooks were broken. As soon as I read your review, we ordered the parts and we have had someone bring them... |
Loved our stay at Celeste Vida. Hosts Ken, Karen and Wanda went out of their way to make us welcome and give us tips about where to eat and what to do. Our room was lovely, clean and bright, and the self-catering facilities were super. The garden with access direct to the beach was beautiful. We particularly enjoyed... | 5.0 | No Exist |
The apartment is very luxurious. Walking distance to Celestun. Very safe. Miles of beautiful beach. Come and see the real Mexico. Close to many tourist attractions. Definitely would recommend for anyone looking for a nice quiet place to relax and enjoy the beach. | 5.0 | No Exist |
I've stayed in many places and this lovely beachfront home was perfectly built for guests...every detail is considered in the 3 guest rooms/apartments.....kitchen supplies, a comfy big bed, a shower with the best water pressure, beach towels and even beach hats. We used the kayaks and loved walking the beach and walkin... | 5.0 | No Exist |
We stayed for just a couple of nights to re-visit Celestun and getaway for a short relaxing stay on the beach. It was everything we could have expected. The room was private and the house is right in the beach. Our host was helpful, gracious and informative of things to do and suggested some one-of-a-kind sightseei... | 5.0 | No Exist |
It is evident this casa was lovingly built and decorated. It is extremely well maintained by the dedicated owners who do everything they can to please their guests. We enjoyed the flexibility of being able to prepare our own meals or to take a short drive into town for dinner - but be sure to go early as many restaura... | 4.0 | No Exist |
My husband and I recently stayed here on our trip to Celestun. The property is immaculate with beautiful landscaping. Our room was wonderful and also immaculately clean. Everything worked well and the bed was comfortable. We did not have much contact with Karen, but Kenn and Wanda were very helpful. They gave us goo... | 5.0 | No Exist |
Plusses: nice hosts, comfortable beds, right on the beach; full kitchen, bikes and kayaks for guest use. Minuses: 1.5 kilometers from town on a narrow road with no shoulders. Extremely slow ~2MB internet (okay for checking email occasionally and that’s it). The proprietors live directly above the rental units and sou... | 3.0 | No Exist |
A wonderful small-scale beach location, quiet, and yet easily accessible to town by foot, bike, mototaxi. Celestun is an interesting fishing community, and the biosphere reserve with it's birds is amazing. Kenn and Karen were great resource people. We took the public bus to and from Merida, so it was easy. We'd love to... | 5.0 | No Exist |
We have not left for our January trip to Mexico. However, whenever we go, we always spend a few days at Casa de Celeste Vida, Karen, Ken and Wanda are the most friendly and welcoming hosts we know. This will be our fifth time at the casa. The one bedroom apartment is roomy, fully equipped and has a great ocean view. Th... | 5.0 | No Exist |
This really is the perfect accomodation for a stay in Celestun, short or long. We just stopped here for 2 nights in November, but could have easily stayed for longer. Easy access to the beautiful beach at the back, bicycles also available for a 5 minute ride into the centre of charming Celestun. Also kayaks available. ... | 5.0 | No Exist |
Undoubtedly the best beach sunset near Merida,and perfect for swimming! The Casa is perfectly hosted,great excursions planned thoughtfully for individual interests. Wonderful and relaxing massage on the beach. We will be back! | 5.0 | No Exist |
Casa de Celeste Vida is simply fantastic - almost too good to be true. Located a short bike ride (or walk down the beach) from the centre of town, it feels like you are staying on your own private beach that runs as far as the eye can see. Bikes and kayaks are readily available and there are two beautiful palapas to si... | 5.0 | No Exist |
Karen and Kenn are the most accommodating of hosts, and have thought of everything you might need for a relaxing stay. If we had had more time we would have stayed longer and made use of the kitchen. Everything was clean and cozy and set within beautiful gardens. Having the bikes available makes it so easy to get to... | 5.0 | No Exist |
Located less than a kilometre from the small village of Celestun. A wonderful property located right on the beach. Feels like your own private beach. Accomodation was perfect and Karen is an excellent host. A great way to break a trip around the Yucatan. The nearby flamingoes and other birdlife were spectacular. | 5.0 | No Exist |
Beautiful villa with a wonderful tropical garden directly at the beach. The sea in Celestun is not as clear as at the Riviera Maya, but if you are looking to spend some days at a nice beach away from the crowds, this is definitely a good option. We were very warmly welcomed by the host Wanda who made sure we had everyt... | 5.0 | No Exist |
The host was Fabulous! She was very helpful, we really enjoyed ourselves, The rooms were clean, I like the separate kitchen, I had a massage which was the BEST! the ocean was so nice just to sit and gaze at! calm with light breezes did not even need an air conditioner. I love the beach right there out the door | 5.0 | No Exist |
After 11 years in Mexico, my wife and I have finally made it to a Mexican beach and we chose Celestun and the Casa Celeste Vida for the occasion. What an inspired choice that turned out to be. We spent four nights at this gem of a beachfront house and loved every minute of it. We were not looking for a resort experie... | 5.0 | No Exist |
We spent 4 in early April nights at the Celeste Vida after a few days at a resort in Cancun. We absolutely loved every bit of our stay. Wanda and Karen go out of their way to ensure their guests are well taken care of, and can provide all sorts of information and suggestions for the area. The Casa is spotless and very ... | 5.0 | No Exist |
This is a nice spot-- a beachy experience without being resortlike. A house more than a hotel. The rooms are nice and the beach is right there. It feels sort of secluded, being toward the end of town, so if you like being around others on the beach, that's not this. It's quiet, though the sweet but barky dogs may ... | 4.0 | No Exist |
