Getting around

Private transportation is the most convenient and popular option for most travellers. If you are a large group this is by far the most economical way to travel. Private means just that. You and your travel partners have a van to yourself. The trip is direct to your accommodations. Average price to Akumal is 110 USD and can take up to 7 people with luggage. Rental Car from the Cancun Airport If you have decided to rent a car for your vacation, pick up your rental car at the airport. This is a great way to go if you arrive midday, and not after a long flight. With only one highway on the coast, traveling to your destination is easy. If you are arriving late in the evening you may want to be driven.

Interaction with guest

We will be glad to welcome you to Villa Balam Ek, we will greet you and show you the house, answer all of your questions, suggest things to do in the area, tips about the house and the surroundings. We will be available for you throughout your entire stay.

Response from the owner Thank you so much for your comments and reviews. We do not advertise a jacuzzi, it is just a tub and it is already fixed as well the knives are sharpened now. You would have asked the housekeeper to sharpen them for you, or any of the staff is why they are there for you, it would have taken a few minutes to do it. :) Thanks again for the comments and suggestions.

Response from the owner Hola Dan, Thank you for taking the time and make a review for the house. We really appreciate. We also appreciate that you took the time of pointing things out on the house, about maintenance. The houses in front of the ocean required constant maintenance and we try to keep up while we have guests, but we usually have to wait for the low season or until the house is empty to make major repairs. However we got the new screen doors stalled already. This was urgent! You mentioned in your comment that we have portable air conditioning units in the bedrooms! We do not have portable AC. We do have Mini splits in the bedrooms. We will have AC in the casita soon, but not Central AC in the main house. The Wi-Fi is better now, we just installed a new router in the main house and another one in the casita to improve the signal in both! Now is working great! I hope you had a great vacation in Akumal. Thanks again for your comments. Sincerely, Ingrid
