“Great Vacation at Villa Ka Kuxta” Villa Ka Kukta was a little paradise for all my family 5 adults and 7 children.We all had a wonderful time. Akumal is a wonderful place to stay, the villa is in a secluded location and we really appreciated that. Akumal Playa and Village are very nice, we enjoyed the restaurants and the boutiques there. It is easy to visit some of the Maya sites: we went to Tulum, Koba and Chichen Itza. We enjoyed Christmas Mass in Chemuyil, people there were very friendly, in fact all mexicans are really very nice. The management and staff at the villa were perfect, they cooked nice dinners for us and did everything they could to make our stay pleasurable. We were sad to leave and sorry we could not stay longer (the trip from France is quite long and tiresome, but my son and son-in-law had to go back to work, a week is too short...) All of us will keep wonderful memories of this awsome place and we wish you a great 2103.

“In a nutshell, perfect!” We loved staying at La Mirage. It was quiet, welcoming, safe, well maintained and immaculate. Staff was helpful and accommodating, and owner was very responsive and patient with my questions. Booking was a breeze and everything was just as we agreed to--no surprises. The location was great, and we took full advantage of snorkeling right at our doorstep. Great eateries next door and within a short walk. The place had lots of lovely Mexican charm. Very relaxing. We can't wait to go back!

“wonderful as always” Luna azul is a special place located on a special beach, where the turtles swim right up to your front door. One day we saw 11 of them while snorkelling. The local restaurants (Buena Vida and Lunita) are not supplemented by a new discovery in the local town called La Ultima Maya.

“We had a wonderful time in Mexico and villa areccife played a bi” We stayed at the villa areccife for a week in November of 2012. I am not a resort fan therefore we've rented a lot of houses in different places. And this is one of the best. It is a new, modern, well-appointed, well-equipped house. It had everything we needed. It is located in the residential part of the resort. When we stayed there only a few houses were built making the villa private and quite place. The villa staff is very nice and helpful. On our arrival despite the late hours (around 8PM) we were greeted by alex Estrella a villa manager, who also works at the resort. When we arrived at the Cancun airport late afternoon even though I reserved a car at Herz, thinking it is a respectable car rental company, there were no cars available. We had to take a taxi to the villa. Next morning alex drove my husband to a car rental place. Whenever we had problems with the villa alex was always available to deal with them. The housekeeper Diana was at the villa every day (even on Sunday) making it sparkling clean. We had a wonderful time in Mexico and villa areccife played a big role in it.

“Paradise!” Our two families stayed at Casa San Francisco for one week (4 adults and kids 19, 16, 14, 12 and 12). The house was perfect for our vacation! There was enough room for everyone in this beautiful house and being right on the beach was heaven. Everyone in the group swam in the pool and ocean, and many went kayaking and snorkeling in our 'back yard.' Beach towels are included at the house, as well as toiletries like you would get in a hotel. Although many places to see where close-by, some of the best time that we spent was just hanging around the villa, reading in the hammock, relaxing on the beach or swimming. The location of the house is great to get to many attractions, most only 1/2 hour or so away. Some of the activities we did (other than relaxing at the villa) were snorkeling at Yal-ku lagoon, visitng ruins at Tulum and Coba, shopping in akumal, Tulum and Playa del Carmen, visiting Hidden Worlds and Xcaret parks, and visiting other beaches (Akumal, Tulum, others). Guille (the staff manager) was very attentive and helpful with suggestions on places to go or things to do. Some in our group were worried about security given the news from other (far-away) parts of Mexico, but we felt very safe at the villa with the security provided. Marcia from akumal Direct Reservations was extremely helpful in pre-trip advice and answering our many questions about the place. It's always a little nerve-wracking preparing to go somewhere you have never visited, but she helped put us at ease. One thing we did not do but I wished we had done was to have dinner cooked for us one night as this was a highlight for others who had stayed at the house (as written in the guestbook). I highly recommend Villa San Francisco for a family or large group vacation.

“Relaxing Turtle Haven” Perfect! Lots of room, centrally located, perfectly secure with multiple security guards who took great care of our kids and showed them turtles at night. Turtles and eggs everywhere. Beautiful yard and pool with lots of great activities.

“Our Wonderful Golden Jubilee(Anniversary) Vacation” We love to travel, we lov e to see new things, learn about the cultureand a bit of the histoery of the places we visit. There are few places that we like to revisit. Akumal is the exception. We brought our whole family, our kids and grandkids. We told them this wouldn't be a sit on the beach vacation although we did do that also. This was our 50th Anniversary and we wanted to share this beautiful place with them. They were blown away with the beauty of the Bay, the Ocean and the Lagoon. We also visited many of the historical sites such as Chichen Itza and sone of the cenotes and ecological sites such as Xcaret. To top it off we had a gorgeous Villa with a swimming pool(our grandkids loved it) We also were blessed with a wonderful couple,Abelardo and Basilia who took care of our every need. I can't say enough good things about Abelardo and Bacilia. They were gourmet cooks and they kept the Villa spotless. You are fortunate to have 2 such wonderful employees. Thank you for a truly wonderful experience, **** and Doris

“Best Beach on the Yucatan!” Great condo right on the pristine white sandy beach with awesome snorkeling right out in front of the condo. #6 unit has a large wrap-around deck for lounging or dining, wi-fi, comfortable beds. Excellent housekeeping, managerial and grounds staff. Security gate attendant 24/7. Lots of fun things to do in the area including Myan ruins, Xcaret Park, Xplor, Hidden Worlds,Plya de Carmel, ferry to Cozumel. Good grocery store in Tulum and local market in akumal on Wed & Sat. Good dive shop and restaurants in akumal. Definitely want to have a car if you're staying at the Seven Sea's Condo to travel around to the sites. Driving was no problem. We did pruchase the Mexican auto insurance ($40/day plus the rental fee $161/wk, expensive but worth the peace of mind). We felt perfectly safe in this area of Mexico.

“Comfortable, and complete, with a view to remember” You will love the view, from this comfortable and spacious condo. The decor is lovely and, the condo well equipped. We enjoyed cooking in the large kitchen, sipping beverages on the balconies, or in the living area, all with lovely views. The stairs must be noted, as they are many, but if you are in relatively good condition, will not be a problem and you can eat and drink with no remorse, as you know you've gotten your work out for the day. The pool is nice and offers some shady retreat and change of pace from the beach palapas. Snorkeling is good in half moon bay, and while water shoes are necessary for entry near the condos, easier entry just 2 properties down the beach. The service from management, maintenance and Theresa/Sylvia (housekeeping) was exemplary. The condo has an aC in each bedroom and one in the main living area, which is nice, as you can keep the comfort level personalized per room. Marcelus repaired an aC, as well as a leaky shower head. He is very handy and speaks English quite well. We also had a microwave kaput, which is apparently common due to constant sea moisture. If you hear or smell something strange from a microwave, just unplug it and notify your manager. The unit was replaced the next day. We enjoyed having high speed internet, and sat. tv in order to check the weather forecast. We used the dvd player to watch the slideshow of some photos taken on a rented underwater camera. I really enjoyed the hard boiled egg maker! I used it twice! There were books to read and many of them had wonderful photos of the fish of the Sea below that wonderful expansive wall of windows. I was excited about the hammock and I did use it twice, but it is a bit highly hung (needed a spotter to get in) and unless you are not sharing the balcony at the time, hangs in front of everyone else's view. Not sure it can be hung any other way, but most of the time I draped it out of the weather, so we could all enjoy the amazing view.

“Perfect stay” This is a very nice place, wonderful garden and skillfully decorated, well equipped, rooms. Very quiet, not directly at the shore line but in walking distance to half moon bay. Dan and David are so helpful with anything you might need. They are very knowledgable about the area and give great tips about what to do.

“Akumal Paradise Rental” We shared this beautiful home with two other families. Even with 6 adults and 7 teenagers, we never felt crowded in Villa Zen del Mar. The home is beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. Rosa prepared delicious fruit with breakfast every morning, but all of us agreed that Rosa's daily guacamole was the trip favorite! Easy walking distance to the town of Akumal, security and staff on site, chef prepared meals, all made for a perfect vacation! There was something for everyone on this trip! Villa Zen del Mar was everything we could have hoped for and more!

“Privacy” Our stay was a very positive experience. We loved the bedroom configuration (both had their own bath) of being separated by the porch, which was large and we spent most of our time on it. Kitchen was well equiped and the overall decor was very nice. The view was the best ever, and we have been to akumal 6 times. The only negative for us was that the furniture was small and for us uncomfortable (we are tall). The people who manage the condo are very efficient, helpful and friendly and addressed any situation that we had come. If you have to call them for anything, they show up right away.

“Paradise in the Mayan Riviera” What a magnificent place! I've rented homes online before and what I saw was not always what I got. This exceeded my expectations in beauty, location, services and comfort. Udi's home is designed to perfection. The staff couldn't be better. Martin is an amazing chef. We will definitely return. It was particularly nice to go in July when we could watch the sea turtles lay their eggs on the beach, but this would be one of my top picks anytime of the year. The bedrooms are all gorgeous and the view from the living room is spectacular. Thank you for giving us the perfect family vacation. It was exactly what we hoped for!

“Akumal Gem!” I can't say enough about my stay at Casa Del Mar...from the booking process with the owner, Marcia Kirby to everything from start to finish. A wonderful welcoming, attentive staff to take care of everything you would possibly need is such a refreshing difference! The convenience and proximity to the town of akumal is ideal! This lovely home has ample parking that is safe and secured and is monitored by regular security staff, not the norm for many properties here in the area. The house has a great kitchen, dining and living space for one who likes to cook or just relax with friends. Plenty of Dvds available and a modest selection of tv channels although I really did not utilize as much as I expected anyway! A comfortable walk out back area overlooking the ocean where you can enjoy the evening breezes is a delight! The pool in the front of the house is always clean and well maintained, so refreshing! Also a nice table and chairs and chaise loungers out there as well. One bedroom down and two up, I so enjoyed the master bedroom on the ocean side of the house with its double sliding door balcony with hammock and chairs, etc. Very private out back and no fear of getting caught with your curtains open! Even as there is no beach access as it is a rocky fronted property, I did not miss that personally as it is so close to town and I prefer the akumal Bay entry anyway for the beach. The house manager, Angel addressed some minor requests immediately and stopped by here and there during my 3 week stay. Very professional and not intrusive at all! I would highly recommend this beautiful property for the peace and quiet, cleanliness and ample amenities for guests and certainly for the comfort and efficiency provided by the wonderful staff!

“A perfect stay” A beautiful location, on a beautiful beach for a relaxing stay. Here, the sea is quiter than in Tulum, you can swim with the turtles and the ray fishes. The house is really confortable while directly on the beach, the safety is ensured. We spent 5 perfect days. I really recommend this condominium.

“Beautiful vacation at Casa de Colores” First off, the home is superb and wonderfully situated at the north end of Half Moon Bay with sweeping views of the water from nearly every room in the house. Great staff and amenities, this home has everything to make your vacation in akumal special and enjoyable. There are a few dining options are within walking distance and everything the town has to offer is only a short bike ride away, however we also loved staying at home to cook on occasion as you can't beat the view! While you can snorkel outside your door in Half Moon Bay, walk to Yal-Ku lagoon, hang out at the main beach in town or take day trips, I think the beauty of Casa De Colores is that you don't feel like you have to leave. Relaxing on the deck or by the pool with a good book is a great way to spend a day. This home would be good for families.

“Amazing and we will be back!” Just can't say enough great things about akumal Direct and the outstanding level of customer service they provided from start to finish. At every point of our trip the crew of akumal Direct delivered. Our accommodations were fantastic (my only wish would have been for a little better quality of mattress)and Miguel was such a class act. See you next year!
