2-Floor Penthouse Unit with Wonderful Ocean Views

REACH NEW HEIGHTS IN PARADISE

For a Caribbean vacation that towers above the rest, look no further than Monarch by the Sea. This fantastic three-bedroom, three-bath penthouse not only has some of the most epic views of the ocean and beach, but it is situated within one of Cozumel’s most elegant and coveted condominium communities: Residencias Reef. Here’s why.

From the moment you cross through the gated and guarded entrance, you’ll know you’ve arrived. Park your rental car and take in the view: you are within steps of a private, white-sand beach that’s lined with palm trees and shady palapas, and you can stake claim to one of the dozens of plush lounge chairs that put you in full view of the warm blue waters of the Caribbean Sea.

You’ll also note that this fantastic community has two marvelous freshwater pools, where you can work on your tan or a frozen margarita beneath the shade of your poolside hut. There are also two outdoor showers, so you can rinse away the salt and sand after a fun day on the beach, hot tub, and a SCUBA/snorkeling gear rinse tank to use after coming mask to fin with the exquisite marine life and famed reefs of Cozumel.

And now it’s time to explore the great indoors—and Monarch by the Sea is great indeed. This incredible residence is a penthouse duplex, so you are afforded views that few others will ever enjoy.

Two of the three bedrooms are furnished with incredibly comfortable king-sized beds and both offer walk-out access to the balcony, thoughtful décor, and TVs. The third bedroom is equally grand, offering two queen-sized beds to maximize your sleeping options. The bathrooms are modern and beautifully tiled, and each offers plenty of under-cabinet storage for your personal effects.

Your hosts have also gone the distance to ensure that your indoor amenities are as spectacular as those of the community: they’ve included complimentary Wi-Fi in every room, no-cost calls to the U.S. and Canada, satellite TV with English-language channels (which you can view on the large flat-screen TV), sound system with and iPod/iPhone docking station, DVD and CD players with a music library…well, the list is exhaustive but ideal for when you want to kick back and relax.

While many of the nearby beachfront restaurants offer delivery, you also have a stellar kitchen where you can prepare your own edible creations. It is decked out with granite countertops and high-end stainless-steel appliances, along with all the little must-have gadgets you need to feel at home. And dining locations abound—you can sit around the lovely dining room table with seating for six, enjoy your meal on the huge wrap-around deck (which also offers tables and chairs to accommodate a group of six hungry guests), take the party outside to the pool or beach or—even better—enjoy a little barbecue action atop the rooftop solarium, which is an absolutely gorgeous spot to watch the sunset and enjoy the cool ocean breeze.

For a vacation that truly stands out in location, luxury and amenities, choose the penthouse in paradise: Monarch by the Sea.

Add COOK SERVICE and enjoy delicious homemade meals in the comfort of your vacation home. Start the day with a piping hot breakfast. For lunch or dinner, savor the flavors of authentic Mayan and Yucatecan dishes.

Spacious with great views
We have stayed at RR previously and really like the complex. Pools and beach are great, beach clubs a short walk away and away from the cruise ship dock. This unit was huge, big enough for at least 10 people. Deck has a fantastic view of the pool/beach. Big wraparound deck plus the rooftop. Mini splits in each room let you control the temperature to your liking. Kitchen stocked with all the cookware and dinnerware you need. Just a few notes - directions on how to use the oven would be helpful. Some of the plates don’t fit well in the dishwasher so ended up washing by hand - not a huge deal but FYI. At Mega you must use reusable shopping bags or it’s no bags at all. Would definitely stay here again!!!

Excellent Condo at a great price!
This property was better than pictured. Our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and wish we could have stayed another week! The view from the wrap around balcony and the rooftop are beautiful, and the infinity pool was perfect and uncrowded for most of our stay. The smaller pool is under construction, so there's only one pool available as of this writing. The showers are plenty hot with great water pressure. The beds were comfortable, and there were more than enough linens/towels for our group of 4 for our stay. The washer/dryer are an added bonus! No coming home with dirty laundry!!! The kitchen is well stocked, and there was plenty of bottled water. The only real complaint we had (which is not the fault of the owner or a negative about the actual rental unit) was the entire space was riddled with ants! We've rented at this location before, in a different unit with the same management company. Our previous stay was flawless but this time we had a little hiccup with the check in process. Enjoy Cozumel did not send us the lock box code for the key, nor did the "rental manager" meet us at the property. We called the number on our confirmation email and the nice gentleman told us "Oh, I quit, but try this lock box code..." LOL! It did work, so thank goodness he answered our call and was so sweet. If you rent from "enjoy Cozumel" and do not receive check in information before your arrival, reach out to them so that you don't have any delays getting into your rental unit.

Quiet and relaxing
Great property! Condo complex is clean and quiet with plenty of lounge chairs on the beach. If you need more excitement, walk a few mins down the beach to one of the local beach clubs for some food, frozen drinks, and fun. Clean rooms with comfy beds. Lots of nice pluses- for example, you want to float in one of the two pools, no worries, there are rafts waiting in a closet for you. Amazing views with awesome sunsets. It is about 20 mins to downtown via cab- it was around $23 each way. Alex, the property manager, was always available and helpful. Wonderful experience!

Residencias Reef is the place to stay if you want peace
I’ll first mention that this unit is on the top floor (3rd) and there is no elevator. You’ll get your exercise in! But the unit itself was great. Beds and pillows were comfortable, bedding was soft, and there was more than enough room for the 6 of us. The kitchen had all the things you’d need. We had problems figuring out how to use the microwave and oven as it was in Spanish. Ruined a couple frozen pizzas. Ha! The balcony was well used and a great place to chill and have a nice cold glass of wine. The pools were refreshing. The beach chairs and palapas were great. Never had a problem finding a place to sit. The beach was nice, though the water was murky and rocky. Bring beach shoes. I was worried about going to Cozumel over spring break but it was super quiet and peaceful. Most of the people were older and no loud crazy parties or rowdiness. Town is about a 15 minute drive. After 5, many of the restaurants shut down on the south side but there were a few options available. Will definitely stay here again!

Not quite the ‘Penthouse’ experience
We had a good stay at this property but would likely not book again. Lots of pros and cons Pros: great space for three couples to have their own space and to enjoy time together. Responsive property manager. Private chef they recommended was fantastic. Neighbors we met at the pool were very friendly and had good suggestions. Cons: ‘hot tub’ on roof is just a bathtub that the property manager told me would likely run out of hot water before getting filled. It also felt like if it were filled with water it would fall through the roof. Below it on the patio there is a obvious leak in the roof. The master bedroom was very humid and smelled like cigarette smoke from the neighbors. The beach was full of plastic trash. There are three sets of directions for the dishwasher and non of us could get it started. Condo is dated and linens need to be upgraded.

Thank you for a great stay!
The condo was everything I hoped it would be for my family at Xmas. It was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The kicthen is well sticked if you want to cook. The beds are comfortable and the views are amazing! The property is very nicely kept and the staff at the property manager was very helpful. Even the staff at the gate was friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend this place!

Slice of Paradise
Monarch of the Sea was perfect. The condo is actually much bigger than the pics indicate and exceeded our expectations. Every room is like an oversized hotel room and decorated well with comfy beds. The living space is large with a niced size kitchen that was very well stocked, and even had Tupperware for leftovers. Nice stainless steel appliances,( range and dishwasher switches are in Spanish, fortunately I speak the language). Washer and dryer worked perfectly and with 8 of us there we used them several times a day (once again switches are in Spanish). Has Rheem a/c units in every room that worked great. Each room could control the desired temp which made for a great night sleep for all of us. The view from inside the condo is absolutely amazing. It has glass doors all the way around the condo which can be opened or just raise the blinds to see out. The view from the condo is stunning!! The wrap around porch is amazing!! Literally can go from any room out to the balcony and see the sea. Mornings were our favorite. Ate breakfast on the balcony looking at the beautiful property and sea almost every day. We used the grill several times. The maid service is great. Came twice during our 11 night stay. Alex, the property manager was very nice and answered any questions we had at any time. The guards at the entrance to the property will go out of their way to help you any way they can for a little tip money (getting a taxi, directions, helping with luggage, etc.) Residencias Reef is beautiful and quiet. It has 4 buildings of units but there was hardly anybody there. Almost had the beach to ourselves everyday. They have around 40 beach chairs and 6/7 hatches with chairs under them, never saw more than 2-3 families on the beach. Two pools. We used the one over looking the beach as did most guests. The pools were never crowded and were perfect to cool off after spending a day at the beach. The pool and the beach were immaculately clean. We saw the grounds keepers cleaning the pool daily and raking the beach daily. Residencias Reef property is very clean and quiet. We only had a rental cars for 2 days of our stay and do recommend Fiesta. They delivered the cars to us just outside the airport and picked them up at the condo the next day. When going home, the delivered them to the condo and picked them up just outside the airport. So convenient for us. This condo has everything you need and is absolutely stunning!! Thanks for a great vacation!!

Perfect property for family diving trip!
This was our third time to stay at the Residencias Reef and this condo was by far our favorite! The living area and rooms were spacious and the views from the upper deck are incredible. We really like the convenience of catching the dive boat from the dock in front of the Secrets Resort - but beware - the management at Secrets is trying to collect $2.00 from each person every time he/she gets on or off a boat (which adds up for a large group). According to our dive master, this isn't legal but unfortunately, it may discourage us from staying at the Residencias Reef in the future.

Perfect condo ... excellent service!!
From the beginning ... our communication with the property management via email prior to arrival was outstanding!! They answered ALL questions promptly, offered perfect grocery delivery service, rental car arrangements, excellent personal chef (Fernando), and scuba diving arrangements (Alberto)! PLUS, we had Alex ...his excellent management was SOOOOO very attentive on WhatsApp. He answered SO promptly and with enthusiasm! He suggested the best local Mexican family restaurant!! Amazing!! He will be able to suggest anything, everything and take care of ALL your needs! We traveled with another couple and their 2 children ... so, this 3 bedroom / 3 bathroom condo was perfect! Everyone was attentive and so helpful. Condo was spacious, well equipped, perfectly furniture, washer and dryer, beautiful sunsets from the top deck, 2 pools and private beach steps away. Thank you SO much for all you kindness and everything ... we had a fabulous time!!!
