8-8-08	Our stay at Mikes' condo has been very relaxing. The most important part of any hotel or condo is comfort. We certainly experienced that here in PH #10. We were a group of 8, and managed to all eat, sleep, bathe and relax comfortably. Whenever we needed sheets, towels or pretty much anything the crew downstairs was very accommodating. We certainly experienced the heat outside, but as soon as we returned to the condo the air conditioning was very cold and refreshing. The most enjoyable part above everything else was the amazing view!! We're literally right on the beach! Both balconies overlook the beautiful, clear turquoise water. You can feel the breeze from the railing, and hear the waves crashing at night. It's only a short walk, down the elevator and a set of stairs to the beach. The lounge chairs under the palapas were awesome. It was nice to sit in the shade by the pool and still see the ocean. We particularly enjoyed the location of the condo which is within walking distance of some great night clubs. Overall, it was a very quaint and comfortable condo. A+!	Diana K.
4-12-08	Fun, Relaxing time. Beware = Booze Cruise, waste of dollars. Not very boozie! Co Co Bongo on Saturday night = too many locals and too crowded! Almost dangerous! Our 3rd year to stay… we keep coming back! Great location with teen aged kids! We’re a close family and the Girasol seems to make us even closer!	The Smiths
4-10-08	Had a wonderful and relaxing stay with our family. Really enjoyed the breeze and waves as well as the great view. Swimming was great too. We visited Chichen Itza, Tulum & Xel Ha. All 3 were well worth the time. Rent a car and go on your own to Tulum & Xel Ha. Try to get to Xel Ha before lunch to enhoy the full day there. Bring sun hats to visit the ruins! El Pescador in town was very nice and good prices. El Mortero just up the road was great for Mexican food. Argentine Steak House was excellent! HAVE FUN!	The Watson Family
4-06-08	We stayed here Nov. 21-27, 2006. Your penthouse is beautiful. Cancun is beautiful. We had such a good time here. We defiantly are coming back. We loved just sitting outside watching the waves roll in. We also traveled to Chichen Itza. That place is so amazing. We recommend going there to everyone. We also loved just walking around and shopping. Thank you for providing this beautiful condo for us to stay in. The Ramirez Family	The Ramirez Family
4/2/08	Our group had such a great time at the condo. The Weese's condos are the most cared for in the whole complex. They are decorated and painted very nicely with plenty of room and beds. The views from the balconies of the downtown area and the ocean are amazing and the location is the best in Cancun. The Condos are located right on the beach with pools downstairs and every important bar/club in the city is within walking distance. This is a big deal because nighttime traffic is awful and our group never had to worry about leaving early to go out at night. I also cannot sing Mike and Janet's praises loud enough. We had a little accident at the condo and their support got everything taken care of very easily. Mike and Janet got back to us and answered every question we had in a timely manner throughout planning the trip and even when we there. They were a pleasure to deal with and I would definitely recommend their places to anyone who is visiting Cancun.	Michael Kindya
3/28/08	I just wanted to thank you once again for the condo rental in Cancun. The condo was great and was actually what we were looking for. Everyone from the trip loved everything and it was a great week in Cancun. I was actually surprised how close we were to all the action. Thanks so much.	Reginald Nazaire, Mass
03/24/08	We had a great time at your place and you location is fabulous. I had to leave on Friday because of work and the rest of my party left on Saturday. I spoke to them and everything was in good order when they checked out. Again I appreciate your hospitality and I will certainly recommend your condo in the future.	Jeff Browning
03/07/08	Our group rented Penthouses #9 & #10 and Unit #612-2 the week of May 27th, 2007. We really had a great week. The weather was terrific -- really wasn't too hot until the day we left. We absolutely loved the view from our units and the location was everything!!! Our kids (aged 18-24 were able to walk to just about everywhere they wanted to go). The beach and water were just gorgeous. We were able to get out and SCUBA and snorkel a few days and really enjoyed it. We rented a beach umbrella and enjoyed being served drinks down on the beach. We also ate (and drank) at the restaurant and thought the food was good and very reasonable. Everyone was great! The elevator worked fine – it was just down the day we got there for about ½ hour or so for a service check. It was disappointing waking up without seeing the ocean this morning, but we had to get back to reality some time. Thanks again to the owners, Mike and Janet, for all the help in getting me info, hooking me up with transportation, etc. We hope to be returning soon!	Megan Achurch, St. Louis, MO
02/16/08	Hello from Montana: We three grandmothers (myself, Sheila and Catherine) arrived home to a winter wonderland. In December we decided that we would escape the winter and find and warm, fun place to spend two weeks. We knew we wanted a condo with a small kitchen, two bedrooms, an ocean view and a place we could call our home away from home. The #9 penthouse at Girasol was the perfect fit. Girasol is perfectly located for those without a car. It is in walking distance to the Forum (a large shopping mall) where we kept in touch with our families in Montana by using the Internet Café; buses came by every ten minutes or so and enabled us to explore the “downtown Cancun” area; Senor Frog was just across the street; the beach was gorgeous and the hotel personnel were so helpful, kind and understanding. Exploring the unknown is always a challenge and a delight. The next meal was always top of the list. We discovered “The Cove” for a delectable Sunday brunch. It overlooked the public beach where families were having a great day in the ocean, the weather was perfect. Who could ask for anything more? One evening we took the Caribbean Carnival boat to Isla Mujeres for dinner and a show on the island. By the time we got home we were all doing the bunny hop and singing Mexican songs. Xcaret was another outing – it is amazing what they have carved out of the jungle. I’d describe it as an ecological theme park with a “don’t miss” evening show. Of course, Chichen-itza was amazing. Those Mayan people were remarkable. If you go to the night light show, be aware that the hour program is in Spanish (unless otherwise noted). One of us opted to sit in the hotel and have marguerites – smart gal. Would we return – yes. If Cancun is on our itinerary we would hope that we could return to #9 Penthouse and settle in.	Marge Short, Helena, Montana
02/15/08	Mike, sorry about the delayed response. The condo and the staff were wonderful. I was having a little trouble with the laptop I brought and was unable to access my e-mail until I returned home. We had a wonderful time. Thanks, Steven Warren	Steven Warren
08/30/07	Our Stay in PH4 Tue, 28 Aug 2007 Greetings Mike, After a great long vacation at Girasol my parents have returned back home, returned to work as of Monday and I'm just getting the opportunity to breath a little. We all agreed that your place was perfect and had all the necessary tools for a great trip. We also took good care of the place. Hopefully we can return to Cancun again in the future and we will absolutely consider Girasol again. During our stay you provided a binder that included information about the facility and policy on reimbursement, which was very helpful. As you know, we had to leave PH4 due to Hurricane Dean and Lucy and her crew removed sliding glass doors, windows, and furniture from the apartment. I was wondering if we meet your policy for reimbursement for the two nights we had to go somewhere else. In turn, we stayed at Carrillo's hotel for 2 nights (paying double). Please let me know what you think. Best regards, Andrea Rossato Los Angeles, CA 90071 REPLY: Absolutely Andrea. It prorates out to $162.50 per night. We've sent a check to you for the $325 plus your $200 deposit, a total of $525. I'm glad all were safe during the Hurricane and look forward to serving you or your friends again in the future. Thanks. Mike and Janet Weese.	Andrea Rossato Los Angeles, CA
04/01/07	My husband and I and two of our friends spent the week of March 16, 2007 to March 24, 2007 in Mike's penthouse 9 condo.  The condo was clean and well stocked.  It was a treat to find we had beach chairs and umbrella and boogie boards available to us.  One of the two elevators has been replaced and both were working just fine.  The location was perfect for walking to the night life and restaurant areas.  Mike's instructions for using the bus system for grocery shopping and getting into downtown Cancun were accurate and easy to follow.  Using the bus system is the best and cheapest way to get around town.  We took the ferry to Isla Mujeres and spent the day sightseeing and enjoying the water.  The water is much calmer on the beach at Isla.  Mike and Janet have been great to work with.  Mike went out of his way to retrieve some clothing that was left behind, alas; the cleaning crew had discarded it.  We are looking forward to returning to Cancun and one of Mike's condo very soon.

03/01/07	Mike and Janet, It was awesome! The weather was great. We did not want to come home. Thanks to Teresa, we did receive all our clothes in time. It was extremely kind of her to do that for complete strangers. We were very grateful. Our boys had met Brittany at the pool so it was cool to find out she was your granddaughter. The staff....I can’t say enough good things about them. They were the best. George saw to it that we had a great time. Him and my dad hit it off right away. We are definitely planning on a return trip. Thank you for renting your penthouse to us! I hope we left everything the way we were supposed to. I do owe you for two pairs of goggles because I didn't realize they were in my beach bag until we returned home. Please let me know the cost, Sorry!  All of your suggestions and travel tips were very helpful. The location of your condo was so convenient. Thank you so much!

03/01/07	Hi, Mike- My husband, Patrick, and I had a GREAT time! Everyone was super nice. Patrick was actually going to drop you guys a line to let you know how much we appreciated all your tips & how much we enjoyed you sharing your home with us. We hung out at Market 28 quite a bit eating at Margelys and enjoying a more authentic taste of Mexico. My husband lived in San Miguel de Allende for a while growing up and we both like to have a more cultural experience when we travel. We honeymooned in Cancun 15 years ago and boy has it changed. We also appreciated your recommendation of Sorianos as an alternative to Wal-Mart. The Cineopolis was closed for construction....so we will have to go there on our next visit. We would like to get back there more often. We love Mexico & Belize! Thanks for checking in & thanks again for everything. Oh, and I did set up the final cleaning with Lucy on Sunday, so the place should be shining for your next arrival. :) Thanks again, Kit	Kit Doyle Chico, Calif
02/26/07	We stayed in PH#9 and had a great stay with our 2 teens. The place is an easy walk to lots of restaurants, shops, taxi & bus service and clubs. The place is comfortable and easy access to beautiful beach and pool area. View and sea breezes are wonderful. Have Fun!	Anonymous, Stamford, CT
02/08/07	My wife and I stayed in Unit 612-2 from Jan 25 - Feb 1, 2007, along with our 3 kids aged 9, 5, and 1. We had a great time. The weather, pool, beach, and location were all great. Aside from pool and beach days, we also found time to make it into Cancun City (on the local bus), Crococun Park, Wet N Wild, the Interactive Aquarium, and a bunch of local restaurants - the kids thought Senor Frog's was insane, and they were right. They were all a big hit. Girasol staff was all very friendly and helpful. It was also nice to have the option of eating nearby vs having to take a cab or bus to a restaurant further away. The OXXO a few doors down kept us well-stocked with food and cold cerveza. All in all, a great vacation. The 9-year-old would have stayed another month, the 5-year-old was played out (had fun but was ready to go home), and the little one just went with the flow and smiled a lot. Don't forget to bring a portable crib if you have really small kids. We hope to be back, maybe in one of the penthouses as the kids get older.	Duane Donnelly, Toronto, Ontario
02/01/07	Girasol Cancun has been wonderful for me and friends as vacation accommodations in January 2 years in a row, and WILL do it again!! Hurricane Wilma still has lasting effects at Girasol and the entire area, but can't think of better place to spend my vaca money, and money stretches just fine there. Girasol is close to Ruins El Ray(real kings ruin w/iguanas included, only $3.50 American, Isla Mujearas (I snorkeld alot), Market 28(too much fun), Bubba Gump's seafood restaurant, Harley Shop that was advertised in America as bike shop???but has a BAR(funny)did buy my ol man a t-shirt there, and more and more. Girasol staff Serghao and son Sergio, Manuel, Lucy, Pablo and more are so accommodating and reliable, relaxing enough that even I trust them, and even though I speak pig Spanish they like even me.. If I had the $$ I would so live at Girasol Cancun.	lori grevoy, rapid city,sd
06/29/06	Our spring break group of approximately 25 people stayed at the Girasol. Staying there was the best decision we made all break. It really is about all about the warm hospitality from Mike & Janet and the perfect loci. It was a home away from home. Couldn't have asked for a better place with a better price for college student vacationers!	Nina, Michigan (ninalee@umich.edu)

06/01/06	I stayed at the Girasol (PH9) from 20 May until 27 May. The Girasol has an excellent location, for walking around the "party center". When we happened to be there, the Girasol, was very low on tenants, so, we sort of had the place to ourselves (there was maybe 2 or 3 other units w/ people in it, from what I can see). The PH9 was nice. Everything you could need was in there. I'd stay there again........Dave	Anonymous, Medford,NY (DavidL@cosaic.com)
04/02/06	We went to the condo for the week of April 13-20th. we really enjoyed it and the accommodations were great. Everyone was nice and helpful and the owner is top notch. The location is great and in walking distance to a lot of stores and restaurants and the internet access was wonderful!!! IT was our main communication with the states which was nice to have available. I highly rec staying here.....you will enjoy it!!!	Susi, Hattiesburg, MS
04/11/06	My friends and i rented Penthouse #10 March 5-12th for Spring Break! We had a fabulous time! The views from the balconies are priceless! We had a group of 7 girls, and we had plenty of room, even with all our luggage! The condo was right by all the clubs and shops too which was really convenient! Thanks again Mike and Janet, we had a blast!	Christina
07/22/05	MIKE WAS VERY FAIR AND HELPFUL. CONDO WAS EXACTLY WHAT WAS PROMISED. VERY NICE AND CLEAN. 8 GIRLS STAYED FROM JULY 4, 2005-JULY 11, 2005. VERY NICE LOCATION. WOULD RECOMMEND............	8 GIRLS, INDIANA (sadie1@tds.net) 765-000-0000
07/19/05	Our family just returned from staying in one of Mike's condo's from 7/8/05 to 7/15/05. The location is excellent, just minutes from Senior Frogs, and the center of activities in Cancun. Nice beaches with the best views of Cancun. Mike is a concerned and gracious owner who sincerely wants his guests to have a great time! While the building is older, Mike's condos are excellent, nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. Our family of 6, including 2 older children ages 21 and 19 had a great time. The older kids "hit the clubs" at night and were within 5 minutes walking distance. The condo accomendated our family quite nicely. My strongest reccomendation is for Mike and the personal service he imparts. He is a genuine and honest condo owner deeply concerned about the well-being of his guests!	The Jeff Cole Family, Lees Summit, Missouri (colesummit@msn.com) 816-726-4896
06/27/05	We stayed in PH10 for 10days June9-19. At first appearance the building is quite old and in need of repair (the elevators)! But overall the condo itself was very nice and clean. Had everything you needed and has beautilful views. Mike was very nice and helpful during our stay. Suggested a great seafood restaurant and told us all the bus routes and where to shop, also what to avoid. My kids had a great time being beach bums. It was a nice home away from home. Would love to come back without the kids and maybe some friends!	Mark & Cindy Porcaro, Downers Grove, IL (porcaro@ameritech.net)
04/18/05	Great Location!! Great Views!! Mike and Janet were wonderful to deal with. The parents and kids enjoyed their vacation very much. Thanks	Tom Dingler, Little Rock, Arkansas
