We had an incredible stay with Tim’s Ocean Condos in Cancun

by Caralee Parr

5 out of 5 stars

We had an incredible stay with Tim's Ocean Condos in Cancun. The location could not have been better. Right on the beach with stunning ocean views in the front and beautiful lagoon views in the back. We rented two 4-bedroom penthouse condos for our family and friends, and they were absolutely perfect.

The condos were spacious, spotless, and well-appointed, with breathtaking sunrise and sunset views every day. Communication throughout the booking process and during our stay was excellent. Tim's Ocean Condos provides detailed, organized information about the property and surrounding area, making everything easy and stress-free.

The building manager was responsive and quick to assist with any requests. We also loved the convenient location, with a convenience store nearby and several restaurants within walking distance, including a fantastic seafood restaurant on the lagoon.

The beach was beautiful, the water was amazing, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend Tim's Ocean Condos to anyone looking for a memorable Cancun vacation and would gladly stay here again.

We had a wonderful time staying in the condos.

We had a wonderful time staying in the condos. We arranged to have dinner cooked for us two nights which was delicious and a great value! We also ate at Navios and Mangroove Sunset Grill, across the street. Navios had amazing food and drinks and the atmosphere is magical at sunset. We had our own little dock for our group of 13. Mangroove had great burgers but our group of 8 were sat inside so we didn't really get to experience the view We booked a snorkel trip and visit to Isla Mujeres with Mike's, through the Tim's condos request form. It was awesome and since it was a private tour we were able to change up the schedule how we wanted to during the day. USA Transfers was awesome and we ended up also booking a Chichen Itza and cenote tour through them. We did one day of all inclusive and had a blast. Note for consideration is that several restaurants are closed on Sundays so we chose a day during the week so we could enjoy all there was to offer.

We had an amazing stay at Tim’s ocean condos! The penthouse was large, spacious, and very comfortable, with breathtaking views that made every moment special. The jacuzzi tubs were such a relaxing treat after long beach days, and having a full kitchen was incredibly convenient. Tim’s communication was excellent—he provided so much helpful information and recommendations. Even though we didn’t have time to enjoy everything he suggested, we’re excited to explore more on our next visit. This was a beautiful, relaxing getaway, and we can’t wait to come back with our family to make more memories together!

Overall we had a blast! Party of 18, we all showed up at various times but the check in process was smooth for the most part. We did the penthouse combo which included 2 suites on the same floor. They were well furnished and had plenty of dishes, cups, and supplies to last our week stay. The views from both penthouses are spectacular. Location is beautiful and the Oleo resort has great staff and well maintained facilities. Abdiel and Tim were very responsive during the entire stay. We had some maintenance issues that were resolved in a timely manner and did not detract from our overall stay. They were still fixing one of the elevators while we were there which made traveling up to the penthouses a bit slow, but once both are running it wont be an issue. The Nuup Spa, photo below, was great as well. Relaxing massage and most of the amenities were well maintained. Would definitely recommend staying at one of Tims properties because of the location, price, and access to knowledgeable staff to help make your vacation to Cancun one for the history books!

We reserved Tim’s penthouse in tower 2 for my 60th birthday. We had a fabulous time and took advantage of all the extras. We did the all inclusive a few days, we had the in home cooks come in 3 days, a massage and we enjoyed the snorkeling with Mike. The staff at the hotel were amazing in particular Rodriquez at the pool. Every staff member acknowledged you throughout the area. You have everything you need within the area including a convenience store across the street and a couple of restaurants. We went to Navios for my birthday and give it a 10! The food was amazing. I would recommend Tim’s for your next trip to Cancun!

We definately hope to return

Our family had a fabulous time celebrating Christmas at Tim’s Ocean Condos. The views are amazing and the staff is delightful. The condo host Abdiel was attentive to any of our needs. The activities Tim recommended in his welcome emails were spot on. The airport transfer company was outstanding and worked perfectly for our family of ten. Swimming with the dolphins was an amazing highlight for everyone especially for our grandkids and of course the adults as well. The in home cooking experience was wonderful and greater than anything expected. Overall, it was a very memorable Christmas holiday vacation. Our sincere thanks.

Tim’s Ocean Condos was the most amazing experience!

Tim's Penthouse 3703 with a private hot tub on the terrace was the most amazing experience! On site staff was amazing and helpful, the personal chefs made the most amazing meals in our room for an amazing price of $15-20 per person, and the views were spectacular. Tim replied to any and all questions so quickly. The resort itself is small and easy to get around and you can choose to do all inclusive for a day here or there if you plan to be at the pool all day. There are hundreds of amazing big shells washing up on the beach each day and they rake out the sand every morning. Both restaurants across the street were delicious and would recommend going to both. Would do this again in a heartbeat.

Everyone was very informative and helpful. The condo was amazing!!! Amazing views and very spacious. Mike and Tony were nothing short of amazing with the snorkeling experience. My family and I will most definitely be back to stay with you guys again in the future. We will be picked up at 1pm for the airport so we will leave our luggage under the stairs until then. I appreciate you guys for allowing us to stay and ensuring we had everything we needed. Thank you so much!!!

I stayed at this place with 9 friends for my bachelorette party. It was perfect!

The villa has plenty of room for large groups. The view from the balcony was absolutely gorgeous. Also, the fact that it is on an all-inclusive resort gave my group the best of both worlds; we opted into the all-inclusive option on a day it was most convenient for us but we were still able to all stay in one villa rather than split into hotel rooms as we thought we might have to at a resort. Tim and his team were very responsive and helpful in the weeks leading up to our trip and also while we were there. Would definitely stay again and recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful, spacious, clean place to stay with family or friends.

We were 8 guests and the condo was very confortable. Each bedroom is a suite, so each room has all the privacy needed. We cooked, mainly breakfast, the kitchen has all you need. Very responsive management and easy to communicate. Check in was flawless. Thank you guys for making our vacation memorable. Adrian

The condo was exactly as described and the sunsets over Laguna Nizuc were legendary. We went with another family and the condo easily held the 10 of us (4 adults, 6 kids). The pool and beach were easily accessible, but be aware the pool closes early (most nights around 8pm) and the beach closed at the same time due to turtles. From thr pool deck at night we did get to see Laggerhead turtles lay their eggs and Green Turtles hatch. On Tim's recommendations we had dinner cooked for us in the Condo and we used Mike to snorkel Isla de Mujeres. I would highly recommend booking both of these adventures. Finally check in with Tim's staff was seamless. Thank you Tim and the whole crew you have put together. We would love to stay with you in the future!

We stayed in beautiful penthouse 3701! So beautiful, cozy comfortable and clean. Easy walk on to the eateries, beach and pool. Tims staff were so friendly and helpful! We definitely would go back and stay in a heartbeat. I don’t think our stay could have been any better as we were quite satisfied with it all. Thank you Tim and staff for allowing us to stay and making this family vacation one for the books.

It was perfect for the 8 of us plus one baby. Tim’s transportation, tours and restaurant recommendations were extremely helpful. We also liked the option to not have to do the all-inclusive that hotels require because we didn’t want to be limited to eating at the resort for 7 days. Paola and Abdiel were awesome. Great service. Thank you!

Property Details

These two 4br Penthouse Units are directly next door to each other. The views are excellent, and 6 of the 8 bedrooms have an attached bathroom. 7 total bathrooms with showers, and 2 powder rooms between both units.

Hi everyone, my name is Tim Miller. My brother and I purchased in Cancun back in 2004. We love it here! We used to have property in Cocoa Beach, FL but when we found Cancun we sold everything and bought here to stay. There is no place on earth like The Renowned Cancun Hotel Zone. The beauty of the Caribbean waters is unmatched worldwide and they surround the island (the Cancun Hotel Zone is an island) to East, North & South, while the gorgeous Fresh water Bay is to the West. And the locals are so happy, humble, and so thankful to have your business and be of service to you and your family. Over time, my family came to know many wonderful people here in Cancun. If you have never been to Cancun, you will absolutely love it here!

Penthouse Combo #334 - 8BR-7BTH - Approx 5,500 sq ft including terraces.

Penthouse Combo #334 is on the Penthouse Level of the North tower. 6 of the 8 Bedrooms has an attached private bathroom. The combo units have become enormously popular. Through guest feedback we have found that the main reason they like the set up so much, is that everyone can hang out together, and if they want to break away, they always have their own entire unit. It’s an ideal set up!

These two units are 3 steps away from each other on the Penthouse level of the resort. Both Penthouse have ocean and lagoon views and primary face the lagoon. The first one is a 4BR/3.5Bth, the 2nd one is a 4BR/4.5Bth. The first Penthouse unit has a 4 person hot tub on the terrace overlooking the ocean.

- - - - - WHAT YOU GET WITH US INSTEAD! - - - - -
1. My wife and I do this full time; it is our dedicated passion to serve you.

2. Abdiel and Paola are our full-time managers on the ground in Cancun to service you. They are at the resort Mon-Sat 9-5pm, and after hours you will still receive prompt responses via email. On arrival day, our team is there to welcome you, show you around, and answer all your questions.

3. Rather than an apartment building, we reside within a full service resort with full time staff, 24 hour security gated security, 24 hour beautiful lobby, gym, spa, tennis court, pool, beach, sun deck, loungers and umbrellas, hot tub, photos studio, tour center, 5 restaurants, 2 bars including a pool bar, and spa with steam room, sauna, relaxation pool, hot tub, and massage and nail services.

4. The resort is all-inclusive. When you book a Penthouse unit, the all-inclusive is optional each day you are there. Payment is made at the lobby front desk. Cost is currently $90 per person per day, Dec 20-Jan 4 is $135 per day. Prices are subject to change without notice as we have no control over resort pricing. Kids 11 or under are ½ off, 2 years and under are free.

5. For days you do not want the all-inclusive, feel free fill up the cooler inside the condo with your favorite drinks & snacks and take that to the pool or beach. It’s ideal, makes for a nice little table as well, about the size of a carryon.

6. You always have one resort restaurant that is never all inclusive. You pay per item and they have things like tasty toasted subs, wraps, and pizza. They also have a wide assortment of coffees and desserts.

7. Indulge in our in-home cooking service for an authentic Mexican feast prepared by our local cooks. Our guests love this, we provide the service to our guests only at our raw cost. It runs $10 per person for the service ($80 min) and it includes purchasing the groceries and preparing the meal. Our cooks provide you with a receipt for the groceries. Meals are served buffet style. It’s payable in cash at the time of service. It’s very easy to book, the menu and link come in your welcome pack.

8. Our location is ideal. We have great restaurants right across the street, plus a convenience store that sells beer and all the hard liquors. At the same time our area is well lit, and very safe, and our activity level surrounding the resort is mild. Everything is close by, buses run 24/7 and you can be at a myriad of additional restaurants, shops, and big nightclubs in minutes.

9. Oleo prints out a weekly brochure for guests detailing the latest activity offerings. Often times there is live entertainment around the bar, and water yoga is typically in the weekly calendar.

10. Tours and Excursions Insider Knowledge: With over two decades of experience in Cancun, we offer invaluable insights into the best activities and excursions. Here’s an example, the snorkeling excursion with my friend Mike, who I have known for over 2 decades now. Mike is such a great guy! Always smiling and joking around. His family comes from many generations of fisherman that go way back to before Cancun was even known as destination. Mike’s snorkeling tour is the “bargain of the century”. He does not advertise, has no website, and you pay him in cash. The cost for Mike’s excursion is $75 per person ($450 minimum). For that price you get a 5-6 hour excursion, round trip transportation to the port, a golf cart rental on Isla Mujeres for an hour, and a huge meal at the end. On top of that, he takes you to the best snorkeling site, they are protected waters by the Mexican government and require a special permit that he has to pay for each person going. The underwater beauty where Mike takes you is unreal, so beautiful! To have all that, plus a totally private excursion to your group, is an outstanding value that you will not find anywhere else.

11. VIP Night Club. At these big clubs in Cancun, the cover charges alone will run you $50 or more, plus you wait in lines to get in, then it’s standing room only and drinks are very expensive. With us, you’ll get the link to purchase the VIP night club pass. For $150, you will have VIP access, no lines, A VIP table, and not only is your cover charge included, but all your drinks as well. It goes from 10am to 3am and includes transportation there and back.

12. Grocery convenience. When staying in these larger places, everyone wants to have some groceries on hand. 10 years ago I asked the owner of the transfer company that we recommend if he would take our guests to the grocery store before heading to the resort, for an additional fee of course. He said he would add that to his website. He did, and it’s been a hit with our guests ever since. Our team has milk crates and hotel carts to get all of your groceries up. Don’t worry, we have you covered. But please note that if you arrive on a Sunday, you may want to get groceries after you arrive at some point, as we will not be there to help you.

13. 13. Family-Friendly: Traveling with little ones? Rest assured, each unit is equipped with amenities like pack-n-plays and high chairs upon request.

14. Clean drinking water. The reverse osmosis system in the kitchen provides free clean drinking water.

15. Quality linens: My wife specifies sheet sets that are a polyester/cotton blend, 575 thread count. She says it is the perfect blend of softness and stain removal properties.

16. Quality Bath towels: For bath towels she specifies large 30”x 53” 100% cotton. They are really nice; we have the same ones at home. Way better than what you would expect at a nice hotel. To me, even the nicer hotels have towels that are not soft, and not very big.

17. We provide Beach towels: We provide 8 Large commercial grade beach towels.

18. Private wifi: Unlike hotels that offer non private, or semi private wifi, these modems are completely private to the unit, and encrypted, and the modem is inside the unit.

19. Charging Ports: All the bedrooms and every living room has a charging port with 3 outlets and 3 USB terminals.

20. We have Great Reviews!

21. Great guest communication: Group Email Thread: The Group Email thread is the tool we use to keep everyone on our team in touch should you need anything, plus it keeps us all in the know, and on the same page. This email thread goes out to you and all of our team members after payment is processed. You can’t miss it, as the subject box starts with all caps: GROUP – MAIN followed by your Penthouse number and arrival and departure dates. This way our team always knows with whom we are speaking. It allows for our guests to get prompt replies consistently.

PHOTOS: Please note that photos of The Private Balconies may appear under "Common Areas" because the spaces are so large, AI mistakenly categorizes it under common areas. Additionally, the resort should not be listed under "What's Nearby," but sometimes is.

With us, you're not just booking a vacation rental—you're gaining access to a wealth of local knowledge, dedicated and friendly service, and processes to help us give you quick and thorough service as well....Processes fostered through years of experience in the business. We look forward to welcoming you to Penthouse Combo #334 and ensuring your Cancun experience is outstanding!

Warm regards,
Tim and Megan Miller

 
Why do you offer this combo unit?  I started noticing a lot of guests were looking to book two or more of our units at the same time.  I think it's because we are unique having several of these cool places all right next to each other.  So I first started with this combo, #31234, which is in building 3, and all four Penthouse units on that floor, which is 16 bedrooms.  That one started booking so I started to make other combos, after seeing that this was a real need.

Hi, I’m Tim. If you’re reading this and you decide to stay here maybe we’ll have a chance to meet in Cancun. I enjoy a lot being able to connect personally, and getting to know folks is, well, it’s just good for the soul in my view.

I’m down here an awful lot, I’m here now, writing this. I’m old fashioned I suppose, I like the phone over text, email, etc, but I do those too.

If you like stories, you might remember the housing crash of ’08.  Well why that happened may make a lot more sense when you read on.  It was back in ’03.  My brother and I are very close, we always have been.  He’s the best man I know to this day, brother or otherwise.  Back then we were both broke, my brother was determined to help people by becoming a doctor.  I was helping to put him through school, but we were both basically broke. 
Family means a lot to us, cousins included, we’re all a tight knit group.  One day cousin Patrick calls, we call him Ricklee, another story, funny, but suffice to say his full name is Patrick Lee Burch.  He said his name when he was real little, Pat…tricklee Burch.  So the nickname stuck.  Patrick is a gym teacher, amazing guy, but I knew him and his awesome wife Amy were struggling too.  He calls me up one day and says, “I’ve never made so much money in all my life” and talking about how he bought a beach place in Florida and was renting out to vacation goers.  I tried to understand the how, but honestly, I really didn’t get it.  All I knew is very low down 5%, not expensive, around $200K, and on the beach, Cocoa Beach.

So I turned around and called my brother Rod and off we went on just faith that if Ricklee could do it, we could too. We borrowed everything we could from family and friends to make the down payment.  We went to a management company.  Back then, the internet scarcely existed, it was mostly all dial up.  So places were rented by management companies, and bookings were very sparce, after all, how would anyone know about them without the web?
Then cousin told us to take 8 pictures, which was the max you could post, one of the beach, one of the pool, the other 6 inside the unit and post it on vacationrentals.com  We did, and Patrick and us were the only 2 in all of Cocoa Beach.  As you might imagine, at that moment in time, with no competition and the web growing quickly, bookings poured in.  It was unreal, for $99 a year subscription.

Clearly, it was just dumb LUCK.  The timing was crazy.  Needless to say, it wasn’t long before it was like the old gold rush except modern times, the market was doubling for online vacation rentals, I’m guessing every few weeks back then. That drove up the prices for the units, which allowed for refinances to buy more units and you can kind of see where it’s headed, the balloon must pop.  At one point in ’04, I kid you not, our mortgage broker had investors that would allow 0% down for beachfront rentals.  Insane. 
During the hysteria, my brother heard from a friend that Cancun is the best, and it would blow Cocoa Beach away.  So again, off we went.  We bought a 4br in Cancun in late ’04.   Then came the most powerful hurricane in recorded history, and it hit Cancun with bullseye precision.  Our place was annihilated. 
Cocoa Beach had bunch of hurricanes too in ’03 and ’04.  It seemed like the hurricanes followed us.  We were up to our necks in debt, demand softened with hurricane hysteria in Florida, and we couldn’t support it, the bubble burst.
 We had to give the units in Cocoa beach back to the banks, but we managed to keep the one in Cancun.  Over many years of blook sweat and tears it is what you see today.  If you decide to go with us, I’d sure like to meet you someday.  I’d like to hear your story, and get to know you a bit, I really enjoy getting to know people, especially when you’re staying in one of our places.  My brother and I own one place here.  This one and a few others are owned by friends I’ve known for years, and my wife and I take care of their places.  Our niche is only the penthouse and only here, same resort.  Blessings to you and yours, Tim Miller.

Why stay with us?

  • Close to the airport.  We provide a link to USA transfers, we have been referring them for years, they have fast dependable reasonably priced service.
  • Grocery store items convenience.  Years ago we set up a deal for our guests where USA transfers will stop at the grocery store for our guests so you can get everything you would like for your stay, before your stay even starts.  For a fee of $45 they will take you directly from the airport to the grocery store, then take you to the resort.
  • Convenience Store.  Right across the street from us you’ll find an Oxxo convenience store should you need something.  It’s more like a small grocery store, they have fruits and vegetables, beer, wine, hard liquors, and a small restaurant inside.
  • #1 rated restaurant on trip advisor in all of Cancun…is located directly across the street from us, Navios.  It’s seafood and has an amazing atmosphere, especially at night with its beautiful lighting.
  • Dine on the beach.  Mangrooves is another great restaurant choice located right across the steet.  It’s authentic Mexican with excellent food, a large menu, and terrific drinks.  It also has a beautiful view and you can dine on the beach or opt for views that overlook the beautiful fresh water lagoon.
