My husband and I arrived at Rosalyn's tired, grubby, and cranky after a frustrating after-dark drive from Merida. It didn't take but a few minutes to feel at home, away from home. Fast forward 30 minutes and I was freshly showered and mindlessly collapsed in an oversized recliner, watching TV (American Pickers, no less) for the first time in weeks.... More

Home Away From Home was very special. Sitting in the kitchen chatting with Rosalyn was a treat and about as friendly and homey as could be and especially welcome after our long drive from Izamal to Cancun on the very monotinous toll road. Our room was large and comfortable and had a terrace overlooking the pool. It was equipped with... More

We stayed with Rosalyn 1 night on our way to Isla Holbox and two nights before going back home. The rooms were big and had private bathrooms. I was a bit nervous going to a B&B that I found on Tripadvisor, but it worked out perfectly. Rosalyn helped us with all ouer questions and needs. We really felt at home.

Rosalyn is a delightful hostess, who works hard to make her guests comfortable in a safe, quiet, upscale neighborhood near downtown. If you like waking up to birds singing outside your window, and coffee and fresh fruit downstairs on the shaded patio, you should consider staying here. It is easy to find if you are driving a rental car, looking... More

We stayed in Cancun for 10 nights and Rosalyn really made our stay that bit more special! We wanted to stay away from the busy hotel resort and aim for a more personal experience so this was the perfect place. The rooms are large and beautifully maintained, the house is comfortable and located in a very safe location. There is... More

I decided to stay at Home Away from Home after reading all the excellent reviews. Yes, it is within walking distance from Mall of the Americas but to get to the Mall, you have to be brave enough to cross about 6 lanes of constant high speed traffic. If you want to be safe you have to take a taxi.... More

I travelled from Vancouver, BC and stayed at Home Away From Home in Cancun Nov 5-8, 12. I dont have to tell you how nice this bed and breakfast is as you can see the pictures on the site. What I have to tell you is what you cant see, the owner/operator Rosalyn. Before I even met her, I can... More

I've reserved both rooms of Rosalyn for a friend and myself for the 2012 new years and it was a great experience. We were the guests of Rosalyn in her beautifully decorated home with a small sub-tropic yard with couches to sit and enjoy your drink and food by the pool, her huge bedrooms, comfy beds and modern bathrooms, a...

My girlfriend and I, in our 50's, spent a great night in Cancun at Home Away from Home. We arrived tired and dusty from a long bus trip from Merida and we were warmly greeted by Rosalyn. She had prepared guacamole and limonada for us..the best we had the whole time we were in Mexico! Her rooms are very spacious,... More

I recently spent two nights at this bed and breakfast at the beginning of my trip down the Yucatan. From the moment I was warmly greeted at the airport by the owner, Rosalyn, I was “home.” Rosalyn made sure of it. Situated in a new section of downtown Cancun, very close to Plaza Las Americas, the house and rooms are... More
