Nice quiet location about a 10 minute walk from the main square and a 5 minute walk from the quieter and nicest beaches on the north end of Puerto Morelos. The neighborhood has lots of pretty homes with gardens overflowing with bougainvillea flowers
The 1BR apartments have full, but pretty basic kitchens including a refrigerator, oven and gas stove. (Our refrigerator was pretty old, so we had to be careful not to fill it with lots of warm groceries or it would take forever to cool them.) Our kitchen has decent nonstick cookware, dishes and silverware and a sharp knife so we were able to do lots of cooking.
Bedrooms are pleasantly decorated but nothing fancy. Bathroom is decent sized and pretty modern, but the hot water has very little pressure. Living room/kitchen has a bamboo chair, bamboo frame sofa, and a dining table.
The place is very popular with retired Canadians in 2025, so not exactly sketchy. Biggest safety risk is they will chat your ear off while having a drink on the outdoor walkway in the middle of the afternoon. The units' only outdoor space is that narrow motel-like walkway, where many people sit in their beach chairs.
Only the second floor apartments facing the street appear occupied in March 2025, and I saw nobody in the downstairs units or in the ones facing the courtyard. The courtyard seems to be being used for storage of beach loungers and other equipment, which is not super attractive, but matters little because the living room window faces the other way.
