We enjoyed our stay very much, and the location on the beach is outstanding if you like a wide expanse of comfortable beach mostly to yourself. We had come from Puerto Morelos which is also known for good beaches, but not only was El Cuyo much more private, the beach itself was much better for walking and swimming. There were a few negatives. The air conditioning is in bedrooms only, but there was usually a strong breeze though the house so it remained mostly comfortable in the living room and kitchen in February. The house next door is very close, so if you happen to have loud neighbors (during our stay this was not a problem) you will be bothered. And the road to town is in horrible condition. It is a bit less than a mile into town so it can be walked, but if you drive you will not be moving much faster than walkers due to constant potholes. But overall a very nice stay.
