Reviews of Casa Callaway
Beautiful location stunning view
Reviewed by Dan on 1/19/2012
The house was amazing except for the Pool and Hot Tub. The Pool was used by Seagulls daily. The unwelcome visitors bathed in the water and left dirty feathers and excrement where they had been. As a result we never used the Pool. The Hot Tub was cold all week and also was never used. Efforts to "fix it" were unsuccessful. House Mgr was extremely helpful and professional. The Chef was amazing. House Cleaner "piddled" and dragged out an hour and half of cleaning into three hours. One day I asked that she not clean because she was always underfoot and it became annoying. House itslef was well furnished and fit 6 of us very easily.
On the beach

House is in over all good shape. House manager and housekeeper were helpful. Hire the cook. Better food than you can get in town and less expensive. Bar band still playing at the hotel next door at night but tolerable. It is not the nicest house in the neighborhood but is the nicest on on the beach. Hot tub heater went out and Diana, the house manager had a new heater installed in 2 days. I would rent there again.
Amazing house on the beach!
Reviewed by Boston Friends on 12/7/2011
Casa Callaway is a great house with an amazing location. Stayed for 3 nights with a group of 9. It is right on the beach and just a 10-15 minute walk down the beach from all the restaurants, shops ferry to Cozumel, etc. The house was spacious and clean. Diana was very responsive to any issues or questions we had and the private chef, Mireya, was fantastic. I am still missing her pico and guac. A stay at Casa Callaway is not complete without a meal or two by Mireya!
Awesome

House was very clean. Diana was very helpful with all our questions and in coordinating transportation. Also helped with getting our grandson's i-touch back when we left it on the van trip back to airport. Housecleaning (when needed) was exceptional. the only thing that I would mention is that the stove/oven needed to be repaired. Some of the burners never seemed to work but other than that the kitchen was well supplied.
March visit - party of 10
Reviewed by Morelli,Zary,Crucil on 4/7/2011
We were a party of 6 adults, 2 sixteen year olds, a 12 year old and a 9 year old. The layout of the house was absolutely perfect. The location was great - would be nice to be a little bit closer to the front of the complex only so it would be a bit quicker walk to town. The spot on the beach was fabulous! The chef was excellent, highly recommend having her come. Portions were huge, flavour amazing, presentation beautiful. It was great having the maid come in every day, she was so sweet~the house does need a really good thorough cleaning tho. Be sure to read all of the suggestions/ideas in the guest book. People have left names of restaurants, tours, activities, shopping etc...and we found that very helpful. Over all our experience was great! We would definately go back.
A week in paradise...

The house is absolutely beautiful and much bigger than the pictures represent. Each room has a full king bed and a separate bath. Each of the three main rooms on the pool are very large with big bath rooms and natural lighted showers that are very large. Each of the three rooms have a futon like coach that pulls out into a twin size bed. My 3 and 5 year neices shared one without complaint. The house absorbed our 12 person party without congestion. The back bed room was way bigger than expected and is only slightly less cool, it does have a beach view, but out of a smaller window. Kitchen is spacious but lacks a dishwasher. There is a water cooler with purified water. The pool is much larger than the pictures represent and the kids had a blast in it, while the adults were able to cool off. The pool deck is about 9' off the beach (you exit out of the front or side of the house to go to the beach). There is a great exterior "wash off" shower on the side of the house. The beach is amazing and fully restored. It is about 100' deep with a very white sand entry into the ocean. The beach is very clean. The Caribbean is the most beautiful water I have ever seen. We liked being next to the resort. It gives the location more energy, no noise to speak of, or any form of drunk idiots - it seemed to pull more european and older travelers. The playacar community is amazing. Huge, beautiful homes, very friendly and visible security on duty 24-7. This home is at the end so we enjoyed walking into town (1 to 1.5 mile walk) through the neighborhood. The town is perfect size. Great restaurants, clubs, and shopping. A mix of old and new mexico. We always felt very safe. The staff at the house was the best!! From Diana the house manager, who fulfilled our every need, to amelia who would leave the house spotless each day and Mireya who prepared the most amazing meals. We wanted to take all of them home with us!!
Fabulous house right on the water!
Reviewed by Parrill family on 2/7/2011
Our stay at Casa Callaway was more than we expected. The location was perfect, right on the water. The bedrooms open out onto the pool with great views of the ocean. The house was clean, beautiful and offered private space for each couple, yet lots of shared space to be together.
Family Vacation - 8 adults
Reviewed by Playa Bound on 1/27/2011
We took our 4 adult children and 2 spouses (8 people) to Casa Callaway for 7 days. House was perfect, right on a wonderful beach, however, we spent most of the time around the house pool. We had Mireya cook dinner for us 5 nights - fantastic food, anything you want. We have a vegetarian and Mireya had a special dish for her each night. Amelia, the housekeeper was there every day. Johnny, the driver, met us at the airport, took us to the house; we also used him during our stay to get to Tulum, horseback riding, etc. Always prompt. Thought noise from the resort next door might be a problem, however, it was never loud enough to bother us. Very relaxing trip, would definitely go back.
It just doesn't get any better than this!!!

Our stay at Casa Calloway was marvelous! From the moment we checked in till the moment we tore ourselves away, we found ourselves totally in love with Casa Calloway. We cannot say enough good about the chef Mireya. Everything she prepared was over the top! We found it foolish to go eat on 5th ave. She does all of the shopping for you. Her food was much better and the price was very reasonable. We wanted to bring her home with us. By the way we found out that margaritas were $20 each on 5th ave., it really drives up the price of a meal. The cleaning lady amelia was wonderful. If you made a mess and came back it was cleaned up! It is a must to have asuzana come and do massages in the glass living room. That was a wonderful experience after a hard day on the golf course! She was so ggod that we had her come twice. Diana was great. She was there for everything we needed, especially translating. This was far greater than any cruise or super club that we have ever been to. The house was terrific and the views of Cozomel and the cruise ships were fantastic.We have been home one week and we are already scheduling our next trip!You will love this property.

YOU CAN'T DO BETTER THAN THIS
Reviewed by MattB on 4/7/2010
Casa Callaway is beautiful. Located right on the beach, you feel like a rock star as people walking on the beach look up enviously. Just a 15 minute walk into town- close enough to do it every day, but far enough that it is quiet. The cook was awesome- a must. She takes care of the shopping and the menu. Wifi and vonage phone keep you connected... you might feel like you can stay longer. Can't wait to go back!!!!
By far the BEST vacation yet!
Reviewed by happyfamily on 2/6/2010
Thanks Tonya for all your patience & help which were fabulous & you went out of your way to help us book this trip! We were nervous about renting a private home but it's the BEST decision we've made yet! Private pick-up by Johnny, Diana the house manager met us at the house along with the Chef preparing our first meal which was to die for! The house is beautiful; big, spacious, clean and more than we could've hoped for. We're picky about our cleanliness & beds but they were so comfortable, linens were so fresh/cozy & the house was very well kept. Luxury all the way from the big clean pool, the loungers, oceanfront, quiet, speakers outside for our iPod, WiFi, free calls home & extra special the iguana who visited us daily!Air conditioning in each room to adjust to our own comfort, big bathrooms, lots of hot water. Chef Mireya is amazing-she shops and prepares the meals including appetizers that are to die for and I'm a foodie. She served us margaritas on the deck too! Amelie kept the place clean every day, working 3-4 hours a day cleaning from top to bottom; what a nice treat! The pool as promised was cleaned every two days & we spent a great deal of time lounging looking out at the ocean! Diana even gave us a cell phone to keep in touch with her or to call cabs! She checked in regularly to make sure things were good and we always had big smiles for her! What a treat (please be kind and generously tip these people including Diana the house manager; they go out of their way to make your holiday amazing!). What a nice extra touch! We can't wait to go back and I have turned into Casa Callaway's "booking agent"; I've already given this information to about 100 people in Ottawa all who are dying to go there. Will never go to a resort again. I will send Tonya pictures of our food so you can see the treats in store from Mireya our dear chef! Thanks to all! See you again, Robuskys from Ottawa!

Casa Callaway, is probably one of the best vacations we have experienced, we live in australia, ( consider visiting here also) our daughter lives in Norway. we travel frequently. The position is perfect, it is imepecibly maintained, everything you would need is supplied. the charming maid looks after your needs and keeps the house spotless. the pool is attended to a couple of times each week. An interesting short walk up to the main street & all the food places are there. Taxis from the door if you don't want to walk. Next door is a large resort and you can use all the facilites and book any fishing,scuba, jet ski's & sail boats

Reviewed by LarryPR on 1/6/2010
Had a great time at Casa Callaway, despite losing the first two days to a snow storm in our neck of the woods. Diana was there to greet us despite our late arrival. House is terrific -- right on the beach, beautiful pool, spectacular ocean views out of the three front bedroom suites. Highlights included meals prepared for us by Mireya, the cook recommended by Diana. They were fantastic. House was very comfortable, perhaps too comfortable. It was easy to just stay put and relax instead of feeling compelled to go on day tours. Town was close, but not quite walking distance. We had cars so it wasn't a problem. We went with Mireya to the Wal-mart to get groceries -- that was a unique experience. There was a dive shop at the resort next door where we could arrange snorkeling trips and jet-ski rentals. Location, service and available amenities could not have been better.
Wish I was back there

Overall we had a great stay at Casa Callaway. The view was incredible and the house was as pictured in photographs. I loved lying in bed in the morning staring at the ocean and listening to the sound of the waves which could be heard from every room in the house. The house feels very private but not isolated because it is right next door to an all inclusive hotel, so it was great for people watching and we had access to the water sport rentals. The house is a good 20 minute walk into town-the edge of town-most of the restaurants we wanted to go to were actually closer to a 40 minute walk through Playacar and up Fifth Avenue. We usually walked to town for breakfast and dinner and took a taxi home ($5). We picked up groceries for lunch at Walmart. We never took advantage of the private cook but it was available. The cleaning lady was very sweet and was there for hours each day, so the house always felt clean even though some of the furniture and fixture are showing some wear and tear mostly from the salt air. The AC was not working in the main living area but there were big fans and it didn't bother us because we spent most of our days on the patio, in the plunge pool, or in the ocean. Our only real complaint about the house was a bit of a bug problem. There were microscopic bugs on the counters in the kitchen and mosquitos in all of the bathrooms-probably breeding in the standing water in the showers the week before when no one was in the house. We actually did not see a single bug outside but got several bug bites while in the bathroom. We didn't call the house manager to complain becuase we didn't want them spraying the house while we were staying there but ultimately did use bug spray we found in the cabinet because we were tired of the bites and it worked. Consider e-mailing the house manager to make sure house is sprayed prior to your arrival.I read several reviews before renting the house and no one else mentioned this as a problem. I'd still stay there again.

Our stay was great. The house is one of the best on the beach. The only problem was the air conditioning in the main family room was broke and we were without electricity for over half a day on Friday. Other than that we so enjoyed our stay. Would rent again in a heart beat.

We had a wonderful family vacation at Casa Callaway. The view was spectacular and the pool refreshing. The three bedrooms with their ocean views, modern bathrooms and king-size beds were very comfortable. The excellent maid service provided fresh sheets daily. The cook we hired, Miraya, was wonderful and reasonably priced. Our big complaint was that the air conditioning in the living/dining room and kitchen was broken for the whole week (the AC in the bedrooms worked fine). The temperature reached the mid to upper 80s and the humidity was in the mid 70s almost every day. Even with two large fans to move the air, the experience was not pleasant. The rental agency only told us about this the day we arrived, even though attempts to fix the unit had been ongoing for six weeks. The owner apparently will not be replacing the unit until spring 2010. We would recommend this place for a great family vacation. However, be sure all the AC units are working since the house is suppose to be fully air conditioned. Had everything been working as advertised, we would have given Casa Callaway five stars.
Manager's Response:
The air conditioning has been completely replaced!

We rented Casa Callaway last week with my husband and parents and had an amazing time. We have visited Playa at least once a year for the last 18 years and have never had a vacation like this. I doubt we will ever return to a resort again. We have been up and down the strip enjoying resort after resort and I now feel ripped off that we never enjoyed the benifits of a private home. I will start off with the couple of things that went wrong but all of the great things made these seem small. When we arrived the house was not cleaned and ready to go at 1:00 (check in was not unitl 4:00) however when we came back from lunch at 5:00 they were still working on it. The electricity was out until about 8:00 but we were in the pool and didn't care that it was out but Diana offered to put us up in a nearby condo until it came back. The A/C in the common area was not good at all but you didn't even notice until night when you needed to lock up but the bedrooms had great A/C. Now for what made this place so special: Everything was spotless the pictures online are just what you get. Diana and her team made us feel like we were the most important people on the planet. We had a cook 5 days who cooked gourmet meals and the cost was $30 a day. How cool is it to wake up go to the pool and have a sweet lady come out and tell you the meal that was prepared especailly for you was ready. The maid came once a day and cleaned up every grain of sand and changed all of your bedding and towles. The view don't get me started on the view all we could keep saying to one another is "can you believe how awesome this place is"? All of the bedrooms face the ocean and when you wake up all you do is slide the doors open and it looks like you are on a cruise ship because all you see is ocean. I could go on and on but all I can say is thank you to Casa Callaway we had an amazing time!
