Casita Paraiso is just minutes to the very special playa, Xcacel. Picturesque and serene, this environmentally protected beach provides an important sanctuary for turtle nesting. The green and loggerhead turtles return each year to nest from May through September. Xcacel was voted one of the most beautiful beaches in Mexico and is located just across the highway.Take a walk along this lovely crescent beach….watch birds, build sand castles and visit a cenote. At the end of your active day you can take in an authentic meal in the neighboring pueblo of Chemuyil.
