Casa Maya Kaan is a warm and elegantly appointed home, designed with the ability to entertain on a large scale or retreat within a quiet few. There are outdoor living areas all throughout the property as well as 5 king size outdoor beds, palapas, chaise lounges, etc. Many rafts, boats, goggles, beach toys, etc are always available for your use.
There is a lovely Mayan couple that live on the property and are available at all times. They are fantastic with children, taking them fishing, riding in the polaris, picking coconuts from the trees and chopping them open for a quick treat. The woman is fun cook and makes a signature flan that is well known in the Boca Paila area.
You can walk out your back door at any time day or night and celebrate the soft sand and vivid blue waters of the Caribbean Sea. There are Kayaks available for anyone wishing to paddle out to the coral reef, (the second largest in the world). There are plenty of conch and lobster as well as other exciting things to see at the reef.
At night the moon can sometimes be so bright that you can literally play a game of football on the beach. Incredible and quite stunning. Perfect for a fun evening family walk as well as a romantic time for couples. We have plenty of flashlights for those who want to look for crabs, (lots of fun - especially with children).
Across the dirt road is the lagoon. There is a pier that you can fish from. It is also a wonderful place to just take in the magnificent vastness of the lagoon. There are crocodiles in the lagoon so swimming is not recommended. However, there is a Welcome center that is 2 kilometers, (1 1/4 mile), that offers a boat trip through the lagoon in which you can actually swim with manatees!! In fact the boat will pick you up at the dock if you desire. The mayan couple can arrange this. They do not speak English but there is a small English to Spanish translator machine in the kitchen that can help you get some dialogue going back and forth.
At the end of the dirt road, (22 km - 13.5 miles from Casa Maya Kaan), is a little fishing village called Punta Allen. It is one heck of a journey to get to but could be a fun day trip to go see. Streets of sand and plenty of fresh lobster. Great boat rides through the sea and lagoon. Lots of wildlife!
There is a man that sells fantastic Tamales, fresh produce, fruit, homemade desserts and juices off the back of his truck every Wednesday and Saturday. He passes in front of the house at approximately 11:00 a.m. It is fun to stand at the back of his truck and order food. He also sells candy for the kids. if he runs out then he will take your money and bring the candy later in the day.
