You may reserve the day before (Dec 24 or 31) to guarantee the cleaning of your room prior to your arrival and we can arrange a self-checkin if you have to arrive on these days. Also, we have a block on Dec 25 and Jan 1 to prevent a checkin on these dates but if you wish to have your stay include these dates, contact us at hola@casaelpio.com if you are interested in discussing either of these options.

We will send you a reminder when the balance payment is due.

IMPORTANT: All flights landing in Cancun after 3 p.m. and all arrivals to Isla Mujeres after 5 p.m. will need to follow our after hours check in procedure.

We love to host groups, but our property is very small and noise travels well. For this reason we must have a specific policy for large groups. Please email hola@casaelpio.com for any questions before booking.

Travel insurance is recommended to protect your investment in your trip and protect you while you travel.
