Playa

Guest Suite for rent in puerto morelos

Our most spacious studio, with a full kitchen, dining table suitable as a working space and private bathroom.

The space

Playa is the Spanish word for beach. In Mayan it would be jáal ja.

We selected this name of this bungalow as we know most of our guests are looking to come to our part of the world in search of a fantastic beach vacation full of sun and warmth.

We are blessed in Puerto Morelos with one of the most beautiful beaches of the region.

Playa is the largest unit and has the largest kitchen.

We have taken the time to look for healthy cooking materials.

All the pots are stainless steel. We have also included a Teflon pan -If you are used to cooking on it.

Please let us know if you need any special equipment for your cooking needs. If it is possible for us, we will be happy to oblige.

We have 4 studio units in 1 spacious lot.

This means a big green area with local trees and plants to breathe and relax during your vacation.

Each unit has its designated outdoor area.

Playa has the space just outside the door with its table and palapa shade.

We ask that each guest respect the designated private outdoor area of other visitors.

We are located 2 blocks south from the central town park and all the local restaurants, 1 block away from a big supermarket for groceries and 1 street off the beach on the quiet side of town: fantastic location (less touristy but still only 5 minutes away from the center of action).

All the units are clean, efficient and newly renovated.

My husband, as an architect, designed every detail to make it functional and cozy.

There are few places in Puerto with this much outdoor garden area to enjoy and that is what we wanted for every guest staying in Aldea Bek, to be able to enjoy nature as well as all the amenities we have to offer.

There is parking at the entrance of the property and there is a taxi station 100 meters away from the door.

We have lived in the vicinity since 2002 and love to share our town and the area with travelers, so we will be in contact with you every step of the way, we live fairly close to Aldea, so any inquiry you have just send us a message!

In Playa, you’ll have access to your private suite with all the amenities described below as well as the shared garden areas in the middle of the property.

We welcome you to choose “Playa” as your vacation destination. To view our additional properties, please click here.

About us

Miranda

Hello! My name is Miranda. I’m a Mexican Canadian who has been living off the grid in Puerto Morelos for the last 20 years. Like you, I love to travel. I've been to places as diverse as Papua New Guinea, Europe, Brazil, Saint Martin & all over Mexico. I have 2 kids and I am a widow to Antonio, the architect who gave life to Aldea Bek.   For the last 15 years, I've worked assisting couples to achieve natural birth as a doula and health researcher. I even presented at TEDxCancun in 2015. Health maintenance and illness prevention are my twin passions.  Since 2016 I assist people with their health challenges with a focus on creating healthy habits that lead to a long health span. I hope to meet interesting people who also like to travel and grow, making the world a smaller place to live.

This room is spacious and has all the amenities needed to enjoy Puerto Morelos whether you want to eat out or prepare some of your own food. The host has a woman named Grace who cares for guests during their stay and she was a pleasure to communicate with, and we were able or each her anytime of day.

The property is about 3 blocks of a walk to the center of town. The listing is a bit misleading saying it’s 1 block from the beach because the beached is gated off for several blocks and although it is there, you can’t access it. In reality it was about 3 blocks of a walk to access the beach.

Otherwise, the room was lovely and the private courtyard/garden was beautiful! – Corryn

This was one of our favorite ABNB experiences. The host (Miranda) was super helpful and responsive both by phone, messaging and in-person. The room is simply designed, but has many small nice practical amenities (for example, ice cooler to bring to the beach, couple of beach chairs, bath and beach towels, cleaning support, aromatherapy diffusers and handmade oils that she blends…). The bed was comfortable and large. The kitchen had all the necessary items, including a blender, so learning some Mexican recipes was a lot of fun. The shared garden/patio was full of beautiful local plants and we ended up spending a lot of time having long lunches there. Most memorably, we had a travel issue, and Miranda reached out through her personal network to help resolve the issue within hours – we felt were treated as a friend or a community member, rather than a random tourist. Thanks to her, we loved Puerto Morelos and surely will come back for the great community of locals and expats alike. Thanks Miranda! – Ayako

This was our second stay at In Miranda’s very quiet Complex, both apartments were very comfortable, this one being larger with having the dining table inside Rather than out as in ‘The Luna’. Thank you for a lovely holiday. – Paul

Miranda was a great host and very nice to deal with. The place is just one block away from the beach and all amenities in Puerto Morelos. If you enjoy nature, you can seat in the patio at night and enjoy nature. It’s just a wonderful place I hope to go back soon. – Josep Maria
5/5
This place was perfect for us. If you are looking for quiet,simple, clean and affordable this is a great choice. About a 5 minute walk to the plaza. We loved the garden and sitting area. Felt very safe and secure. On the quiet less developed end of the street. If you are looking for luxury and to be surrounded by other tourists then the other end of ave Rojas Gómez might be better but we wouldn’t have changed a thing about it. Thanks Miranda. – David

5/5
Miranda’s place is just perfect. The location is perfect, couple of minutes walking to the beach, with a quite nice private garden. Close to shops, supermarket, restaurants etc. The place has everything you will need to make your stay perfect. it is super clean, cozy, comfy, spacious, bright and has a nice kitchen, so you can prepare your own meals. Miranda gives a nice touch to the place, with fresh flowers, towels for the beach, and a good explanation of everything you need to know of the area and tips for places. Our stay was just perfect and can’t wait to repeat in the future. Totally recommendable. Thank you again Miranda to be the best host I have meet in years of travelling!

Aldea Bek is a nice clean and functional property. Great location for walking to Puert Morelos and the new Selection department store! The grounds have very nice fliers and vegetation. Plenty of kitchen space and it’s very well equipped for a cook in meal!Would not hesitate to recommend! – Tom
5/5
Miranda’s place is lovely, as is she. The studio apartment “Luna” was the perfect size for my husband and myself and the price was right. It is a 2 block walk to access the central square and and another to the beach. Easy. Our neighbors were delightful and we all respected each others space and privacy within the “compound” of “apartments.” The neighbor outside the compound walls is mixed with some well-maintained houses and a few rundown properties. A moment of dis-ease for us elders. However, after walking the neighborhood we were completely at ease. We appreciated the cleanliness, the easy communication and accommodations Miranda made (bringing a fan and changing our pillows for softer ones), the shower was terrific, and being able to cook made our vacation affordable. All good. We’ll stay there again if the occasion and opportunity present. – Nancy

Miranda’s place is accurately depicted in the photos. The location is a convenient and safe one. The access to the beach and town is easy and walk able. You don’t need a cab to get around . She is responsive and accommodating. The accommodation is quiet,clean and peaceful. – Orest

This place is a gem! The outdoor common spaces are cozy and amazing. We used them every day.The room was sparkling clean with everything we needed. The fridge is brand new and the bathroom looks new as well. The AC is also a great plus.
 
It is very very close to the town square and many delicious restaurants. Miranda and her husband were very attentive and responsive. Will definitely stay here again on our next visit to puerto!! – Ana

Miranda’s room was quiet, large and clean. It was lovely lounging in the courtyard, which is so beautifully landscaped. The bed was extremely comfortable. We bought some fruit and coffee and began our day in the courtyard. The center of town was a short walk away with several restaurants. – Gail
5/5
Puerto Morelos is a nice, intimate little town without all the touristy crowds and confusion of Cancún or Cozumel and this is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the charm of the area. Miranda’s place is a 5-10 minute walk to numerous good restaurants, bars, markets, the town square and beach with the reef just offshore.

This is the largest unit of the four and it has full cooking facilities (4 burner stove with oven, full size fridge, etc.), a very comfortable king-sized bed, lots of hot water, dining table, air conditioning and outdoor seating area.

The garden is very private (although you do share the common space with other guests), lush, quiet and very safe with high locked gates. Parking is right outside the gate and we found the entire area and town to be safe with very friendly locals.

Miranda is a very conscientious host, easy to communicate with, fluent in English and Spanish, and helpful with local knowledge and available should you need assistance. We had a rental car and used this as a base to explore the Cenotes, Coba, Tulum, and other areas. It was perfect for us. There are lots of taxis and buses as well. – Tim

We could not have been better accommodated than at Aldea Bek. Our Host, Miranda was always available and extremely helpful. The location was convenient to both town and beach. We had many delightful meals in the garden and found the premises very quiet!!! – Molly
5/5

THE SPACE:
Sparkling clean, extremely comfortable bed, A/C, kitchen, dining table. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. There was coffee, drinking water, tea, full kitchen set for cooking, beach towels, etc.. The list goes on. Believe me, you are getting a STEAL.

The property itself is tucked away from noise and private. The landscaping makes you feel like you’re in paradise (because you are).

THE LOCATION:
It is literally 1 block away from the beach and located within the ‘heart’ area of Puerto Morelos. Everything is within walking distance and it is a great spot for both travelers who are looking to be active and “in the scene” as well as those seeking a more laid back experience. The property is extremely safe and neighbors are amazing too.

THE HOST:
I have stayed in many AirBNB’s but Miranda was the best host I have ever met. Very easy to communicate with, quick to respond, knowledgeable about the area, and just an overall wonderful person.

I will be coming back!!

Sweet, simple, quiet studio apartment. Beautiful yard. This spot is on the quiet end of the main drag in PM. We found it to be a welcome respite during our stay. Miranda was helpful in getting us oriented and pointing us towards grocery stores and fruit stands, good restaurants, etc… We did a load of cooking while staying there and had some pretty lovely meals in our tiny patio! I recommend keeping the door to the shower open and airing– otherwise it gets a bit stuffy! – Sam
5/5
Miranda was a great host and always available. The apartment is sparking clean and very well appointed with everything you need in the kitchen. Grewt location as well; just far enough from town to be very quiet and close enough to walk to the beach and town easily. I would certainly recommend this lovely spot and plan to return. – Christine

Quaint location within walking distance to town. Nice having taxis next door. Lovely grounds. Unit had everything we needed, but would recommend you bring pillows. Neighborhood was quiet & safety was never a concern. Hosts were very accommodating.

Miranda’s place is sweet and clean with all new everything from stainless steel pans to a working blender.!The bed was really comfy and the garden was lovely and private. Our room had a really cool indoor/outdoor shower, tho’ that was the only one. It was a bit of a walk to the beach access, but not too far. Miranda was as helpful and cherry as one could hope for. There is one room that is right on the road that is a bit noisy at times. [the shuttle bus leaves from right in front which is also convenient] – Kalima
5/5
I truly loved the simplicity, quietness and the holistic approach of the Aldea. It was actually wonderful not having a TV or microwave or any chemicals used in the place. I stayed in Aldea Luna and Aldea Sol, both were wonderful, however, since I am a cook, I would have loved to have had a larger refrigerator and stove as the one in Aldea Luna, but I made do, it wasn’t really such a big deal. The grounds are kept clean and very peaceful. The beds were very comfortable and the linens were very comfortable. Miranda and her family are great hosts and I am truly looking forward to my next trip to Puerto Morelos. – Jeff
5/5
Miranda was very easy to communicate with both before and during our stay. There was only one hiccup and she went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. The space and location are perfect for those who enjoy taking advantage of the nightlife, the beach and are looking for some solitude during the days. We really enjoyed our time in Puerto Morelos and even decided to extend our stay! – Amanda
