As legend has it, a huge shell was found on the island of Isla Mujeres. It was so large that it was possible to settle in it for the night. The architect Eduardo Ocampo, who came to the resort, liked this legend so much that he decided to bring it to life by building a mansion in the shape of a sea shell on the island. «Casa Caracol».

The building is attractive not only from the outside. The interior design is fully consistent with the marine theme: decorative elements are made in the form of shells, the interior color scheme also coincides with the shades of corals. All rooms do not have a single sharp corner, only smooth lines.
