Wonderful place, wonderful people

Quaint adorable little place. Close to the grocery mart as well as the local market. We highly recommend walking the 4 blocks to the local market for an authentic and inexpensive meal with the locals. Silvia and Greg are fabulous hosts and keep to themselves unless you need something. We frequent Cozumel 2-3 times a year as the diving is fantastic, we usually stay at a resort but we opted to try something a little different this trip and are very happy that we did and that we discovered Greg & Silvia’s hacienda. We will definitely be returning to Los Alcatraces.

Pleasant clean officiant base of operation

Sally and I had a wonderful time staying at Los Alcatraces. Very close to everything with a nice courtyard with full privacy and a pool - very close to everything with a nice small courtyard with full privacy and a pool to cool off - We were mostly out and about but when we returned to the room we knew we could count on peace and quiet, good coffee and lots of drinking water🌈

Sooo Clean

This is a wonderful place to stay. Greg and Silvia are the best hosts. The place was very clean and comfortable. We can not say enough about this place. We enjoyed sitting outside in the morning have coffee. The garden is the perfect place to start the day. The pool was refreshing and clean. You will not be disappointed. We will be back for sure.

always safe

15-minute walk to Mega (the main grocery store), don’t rent a vehicle unless you plan to drive quite a ways (or if you need to drive). We were able to walk to most places. There’s a fantastic snorkel spot right behind the restaurant called Jeanie’s. Wear lots of sunscreens. Always have a water bottle with water in it on hand (stay hydrated). Keep your stuff safe, don’t be afraid to be assertive, don’t be afraid to say no, don’t be overwhelmed, just do your best to relax and enjoy the ocean and the cool shops and awesome culture.

I absolutely Loved Silvia & Greg's cozy place and beautiful garden & pool! The room décor was cute & cozy, it was completely clean & spotless, having coffee provided was exactly what I needed! & the 2 of them were fantastic hosts! Such great energy & from the moment I met them such a great positive vibe! I will HIGHLY recommend your place to any friends who go there! And I would love to stay again when I return for Ironman Cozumel 70.3 again next year!!! Zero complaints! It couldn't have been better! ♡ :-) Great price for all you need 1km walk to main street! You can walk to restaurants & ferry within 15min.

Our favorite place to stay in Cozumel!

Another great stay with Silvia and Greg. Los Alcatraces checks all the boxes for us: in the Centro close to our favorite restaurants, QUIET, safe, easy access to our dive boat by car, rinse tank for dive gear, great hosts. We've already booked our next stay here.

Better than any all-inclusive!

Greg and Silvia are super awesome!! Highly recommend their place to stay. The bathroom was spotless, and so was the bedroom. They even have a private pool which is so cool. We used their pool, and they also have free coffee. They have free filter water for us too. I’m so glad we chose their place for our five days and four night. They were also super nice. Our plane didn’t leave until 3 pm so they offered that we leave our luggage at their place when we check out at 11. Silvia was also super friendly, she offered us parking for our scooter in the property if we rented one with no charge. We didn’t need the scooter because a lot of the restaurants were within walking distance.

Fantastic Location & Space

The room was roomy, clean, safe and had lots of storage space (a plus). We appreciated all the recommendations, from where to rent the car (Isis), best restaurants to eat (LeChef & King Burrito), which dive company to use (Scuba Tony) and the best place to spend the day (Punta Sur). Thank you for the magical get a way! David and Diane

Good Place

It was a well-kept, attractive place with two motel-like rooms off a small garden behind the home. Even had a small dipping pool off the garden. It felt very safe and we were warmly welcomed. It is a good 15 minute walk through typical Mexican neighborhood. It is not your resort on the ocean. But if you are looking for a more authentic experience, it fits the bill nicely with both price and accommodation. Only suggestion would be to add a fan to the bathroom.

Perfect location to experience it all! Beautiful,

Great location to walk, bike, run, travel by taxi from. Amazing, private, and secure setting at Los Alcatraces. Quaint garden and pool allow for your personal experience to start and end the day in a serene setting. Room and amenities are fantastic and all you need. Coffee provided - I never drank coffee until I tasted this, couldn't get enough! Water is provided so you can fill up for the day's travels - huge perk as we saw many people lugging cases of water through town. Close to groceries, shopping, and everything you need. Bought food and snacks at the Mega grocery store (5 blocks away, straight shot) for breakfast and lunch and ate most of our evening meals off the main strip - Lobster Shack, King Burrito, Cuatro Taco, local bakeries, vendors. Prices will fluctuate at some shops/stores as cruise ships come and go. One day had 8 cruises in port and by night they were gone and you could move freely through the market place. We rented bikes for most the week and were able to travel up and down the coast line visiting various beaches, places, etc. Took a taxi over to the other side for less than a scooter rental. Read the fine print of all the rental agreements - they get you with the insurance requirements! Barter or ask to see the taxi fee chart if traveling longer distances around the island. We got three different responses when we first asked to travel across the island. We were advised and warned, but you get swarmed by the time share and rental people at the airport - Head straight to the Shuttle Rental/Ticket booth - to the left of the exit door to expedite leaving the airport. Used Trip Advisor to get little hints, advice, or reviews about areas and offerings to save a few dollars or avoid some pitfalls. People overall are very friendly and the more courteous you are they typically respond the same.

Perfect retreat, close to neighborhood restaurants

We stayed 5 days with Silvia and Greg, who were gracious hosts. Silvia was quick to offer assistance and suggestions when needed. The location is convenient to our favorite restaurants (back in the neighborhoods) and is also easily accessible to La Caleta, where we meet our dive guide. The room was well appointed and the A.C. was efficient even in the heat of the day. It rained quite a bit during our stay so we did not use the pool or the garden area much, but it was well maintained and full of lush plants and flowers. We really appreciated the rinse tank for our dive gear. Location is secure and very quiet, we slept soundly in both the afternoons and nights. Parking is on the street directly across from the gate, we had no issues finding a spot. We will definitely be return customers.

I have stayed in many rent by owner places on vacation and this was by far the best

The hosts are absolutely fabulous: helpful, friendly, approachable & super kind. We were super early and they accommodated us and late to leave & they understood. They sent us maps, restaurant suggestions, and specific tips on how to get to their place from the airport including on how to avoid tourist traps & scams. Daily cleaning was punctual and thorough. Silvia gave us several tips and helped us with anything we needed: iron & ironing board, she noticed that our rented scooter's tire was low on air and proceeded to fill it with air using her pump. She really took care of us and was very kind and friendly. Absolutely loved our experience. I can't say enough about the location and the hosts. We really do hope we can stay there again in the future.
