- "Cas'Arte was the perfect hotel for our stay over at Playa del Carmen. Nice facilities, easy to park our car, quiet during the night, and still super close to the centre and great breakfast places like Choux Choux Café. Above all, it was the owner and host Fabri who made it an exceptional experience. Fabri took intensively care of us, helping us with whatever question we had, he is extraordinary :-)" - "It was like an oasis in a Desert, I could not believe the attention to detail that Fabri ( owner and creator of casarte ) delivers. For most he is a Humanist and an artist and when people talk about they put their soul in to something well this is the best example you will ever find, please trust me. NOTHING is to much trouble to him, he has such a beautiful personality and warmth and we have left knowing our lives are much richer having stayed at Casarte and meeting this lovely man. HOTEL outstanding ROOMS amazing which is a reflection on Fabri. These little jewel in a crown places do not go on forever and I would urge you to book this place when you visit Playa del Carmen sooner rather than later."

Sunsets were 💯" - "Most magical gem hidden in the midst of a jungle, with beautiful sandy beaches. It offers cinematic like visuals and moments. The gorgeous details scattered all around - from the way they change the pool lounges to black and light up the oil lamps, the stunning interiors, lovely staff that wants to make everything possible.

- "A beautiful and peaceful place, absolutely lovely staff, perfect for relaxation. Morning yoga and bike rides were great, and nothing was too much trouble." - "Gonzalo the tour guide is a wonderful human and his cenote cave tour was truly amazing. The private cenote is gorgeous and the restaurant food is excellent. Beds are firm but comfortable and the service/hospitality is lovely." - "Simply amazing. Spent my birthday here as a special indulgence and couldn't be happier I chose to. Very discerning, polite and helpful staff who took initiative without us even realising something was amiss (we'd inadvertently swapped rooms around with friends and theirs had additional amenities for their toddler). The facilities were impeccable - clean, well maintained, quiet. The rooms were cool and even smelled lovely when we arrived, and each room had a private view. Bicycles on the property let us bimble from section to section without long walks (as the property is quite big) and that added to the charm. Excellent restaurant with good portions and choices, and great service. We were there mid week and there were relatively few guests, which made for en even more special experience - we had the cenote to ourselves for hours. Birdlife was fabulous, and we just enjoyed the sights and sounds in this incredibly soothing place. I am so very pleased and would love to return one day."

- "The Oom Bubble experience in the jungle was nothing short of enchanting. Nestled amidst the verdant foliage, the bubble offered a tranquil haven where we could truly reconnect with nature. But what made our stay truly remarkable was the exceptional hospitality of the staff, including the ever-kind Nancy, Neva, and Este, who made us feel like cherished guests from the moment we arrived. Each day began with the tantalizing aromas of the chef's expertly prepared dishes, which not only delighted our taste buds but also added a touch of elegance to our dining experience. From gourmet breakfasts to sumptuous dinners, every meal felt like a culinary adventure, further enhancing the feeling of being welcomed into a warm and inviting home. And as we woke up each morning to the serene quiet of the jungle, greeted by the soft glow of sunlight filtering through the bubble walls, we couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment wash over us. It was a truly magical experience to peer out at the natural wonders of the jungle, feeling completely at peace in our little bubble sanctuary. Together, the exceptional staff, delectable cuisine, and serene surroundings made our stay at the Oom Bubble feel not just like a vacation, but like coming home."
