Nautibeach Condominiums is a hidden gem on a beautiful island, offering a peaceful beach shared with the Mayan Beach Club. The charming, small-scale complex has a relaxed, homey feel—it’s not a sleek resort, but a collection of individually owned units, adding to its welcoming atmosphere. Plus, it’s conveniently within walking distance of town, with shops, restaurants, and the ferry. Guests enjoy plenty of lounge chairs, umbrellas, and, if you book through the site managing 24 units, the convenience of on-site management providing daily housekeeping and fresh beach towels. Other units, available at varying rates, are rented by individual owners with off-site management and different service arrangements, including towel availability. Since rentals are divided into different pools with separate websites, it can be confusing at first, so I wanted to highlight it. We booked through the on-site management company, while first-floor units are only available through independent owners. Reservations for the 24 managed units are “run of the house,” meaning specific unit numbers aren’t guaranteed, but the promised number of beds and a great view are. We loved the second-floor unit assigned to us! With beachfront dining and a laid-back vibe, Nautibeach is the perfect island escape for singles and families alike. Cannot wait to return! A quick note: Please tip your waitstaff and beach attendants, and help keep the area beautiful by throwing away your trash when you’re done for the day. I made a habit of picking up litter and helping staff organize furniture—it’s a small way to show gratitude for such an incredible place.
