Neek Kaan is a beautiful little hideaway in the heart of Progreso in the Yucatan, a city just 30 minutes away from the metropolis of Merida.
In the middle of this very Mexican town is our little hideaway, mostly populated by Canadians throughout the winter months, both renters and owners. It's a little oasis tucked into a beautiful garden setting just a very short 50 meter or so walk to the ocean. There is the French Connection from PQ, the Ontario bunch, the Far Easter's from New Brunswick and "the Rock", and the BC Vancouver Cannuck fans when we're around in the winter. Apparently, although we've never experienced it, the ocean here in June, July and August is as beautiful as the Caribbean, and the temperatures are the highest (year round most of the time) in our area of the country.
Progreso is an adorable little fishing village situated on the Gulf of Mexico with a population of about 20,000. There are wonderful fresh fruit, vegetable and all types of meat markets around, and tiendas (little stores) for pretty much anything you can think of!
With us building our new house, we will be leaving the development, but we'll only be 5 blocks away as we have very definitely loved both the condo and the complex immensely for the past 4 years!
If you're looking for a wonderful way to get away for the winter, in a safe, fun and very inexpensive place, come visit us in Progreso and find out what we're talking about.

Looking at the view, I can definitely understand the charm and why a lot of people choose to spend winter there. The condo itself appears to be small but patio doors in the living room and bedroom help create an illusion of space. One question though: do the condos come furnished or not? -Lakisha@Joanne Davidow
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely condo unit! I love the colors; they are so bright they make every room look so alive. It's great how it has a glass door leading to the veranda. Of course, you need to take advantage of the view from your unit while your house construction is still in progress. Have a great stay!

Lovely house! You're so lucky to get this place. I assume you moved in already, and I hope you're enjoying your stay. Anyway, did you renovate this? I hope you maintained the bright colors that fit the breathtaking view. :)
