“paradise” We rented this villa for our wedding and we were not disappointed with the services offered. Quality of life in the villa is great. Each room has its own bathroom . View different rooms is beautiful. The pool is superb and the access to the beach is direct. The description corresponds to reality. Cooks meals was worthy of a 5 star restaurant . They were very caring with us , kitchen and excellent presentation and they made tasted our guests with culinary specialties from Mexico. The owner , even further, was always available and helped us in different approaches. As for Miguel and alejandra , the guards , we have nothing to complain about. They were very discreet and efficient . To move , you can take either taxi ( cheap ) or plan activities organized but you can also stay at the villa to relax and enjoy it. In short, we do not regret our choice. For our guests and also for us, we had a dream. One day we hope to return to this paradise .

“You don't have to die to get to heaven” Before my stay at Casa del Perro Feliz, I had never been to the Yucatan peninsula and I found the listing for the house on the internet. As you know, there can be a big difference between the experience promised in the listing and your actual stay. Everything about my 10 days at this fabulous house far exceeded my expectations. The house is spacious and sweet. Maria and Ulises, the caretakers, are dedicated and gracious. The bay is a Caribbean dream. We were there for the Christmas and new year holidays and we almost never even saw our neighbors--which meant we had the whole bay to ourselves. The nearby town of Tulum was exciting and the food was great. There are many things to see in the peninsula but, for us, the most magnificent were the cenotes. Swim in as many of them as you can. There is one 5 minutes walk from the house, but our favorite was the Grand Cenote, a few minutes drive. This was a memorable and rewarding trip for me, my wife and our 3 children. I'm saving up so we can go back.

“Favorite Condo on Half Moon Bay” We've stayed at 3 other properties on Half Moon Bay and Vista del mar is our new favorite. It's closer to akumal Pueblo and we enjoyed having the services like bike rentals, pool, and La Buena Vida right next door. (It would be really nice if La Buena Vida was open for breakfast, or if there was a coffee shop within walking distance. With a 2 bedroom unit, our teenager got her own room and it was nice to have Internet access. We stayed in unit #3. It was spacious, clean and comfortable. We especially liked the double sliding doors which afforded a beautiful view and a very open feel. The snorkeling in Half Moon Bay was better than expected. We usually go to akumal Playa for beach access, but the reefs in Half Moon Bay are pretty spectacular. The people in the front office were friendly and helpful, although everything went well and we rarely needed them. We learned that it can take up to 5 minutes for the water to heat, but once we knew that, no problemo. We will definitely stay at Vista del Mar again. We might consider a ground floor unit next time.

“Best winter getaway ever” Case Caribena is an amazing, spacious, spotless home in a fantastic location with wonderfully thoughtful staff. We were a group of 12 adults and thouroughly enjoyed everything the Casa has to offer. Pricci, Lily and the staff kept the house, pools and grounds in perfect condition. Lilly's cooking can't be beat for a relaxing, delicious meal. We ate out a few times, but Lily's food was the best. Wifi worked well for us. A few of us signed up for international calling with our cell providers and it worked as needed without much issue. Our family is already trying to figure out when we can return! The owner, Lisa, is extremely responsive and helpful, recommending restaurant and fishing excursion companies that were great. Plenty to do in close proximity. Ceynote's everywhere, ruins, shopping, restaurants, grocery for stocking up within 10 minutes of the house.

“Perfect Home Base” My friend and I stayed at this townhouse in mid-March 2013. Aside from a minor hiccup upon arriving, everything was wonderful. It is located in a private area off the main road so there is no traffic noise. Yet it is in a perfect location to explore all the local sights. The beach is more like a 15-20 min drive away and really not practical to get to on a bicycle. There are a number of fine white sand beaches to visit, though our favorite was Ziggy Beach. You are near the Mayan ruins in Tulum, Muyil, and Coba. The Sian Kan Biosphere reserve is also nearby. The town of Tulum is a sleepy Mexican town by comparison to Cancun or Playa, which still has numerous fine restaurants for dining. The townhouse itself is well appointed (except no TV) and well maintained. We took advantage of the patio for dining all the time. It is a very comfortable house for four people and a bit more of a squeeze for six (having to use the futons in the living room for beds at night. The townhouse is inside a small gated community with a private pool and you will feel very safe. If you are looking for something a bit different and not wanting to stay at a big resort, this would be a fine alternative. You will definitely need a car.

“Felt at home !, with no doubts will go back again” We stayed on condo 211 for a long vacation period of 2 months, my wife and son of 1.8 years, the condo is just excellent, decorated with taste and with VERY GOOD quality beds and liners, very important! so you can really rest and enjoy (very few condos you get quality beds). The owner and the manager make our staying easy, we always felt like it was our own place experience!. This condo is quiet without noise (others have noise from people from pool), we had internet & wifi (even if others condos were having problems).

“Wonderful Stay in Tankah Bay” Just returned from two week stay at Villa Mariposa! The house was just as described and pictured and so much more! Excellent communication with owner prior to arrival giving us tips (directions, where to buy groceries, recommended restaurants) to confirmation after arrival that everything was to our satisfaction. Caretakers Luis and Nery do an excellent job maintaining the property. Located on beautiful Tankah Bay......MUY TRANQUILO! CANT WAIT TO RETURN!

“Four days in akumal” We stayed in the studio condo. The room was huge! The kitchen had stove, ref, micro, small appliances...everything you need. The balcony was amazing, direct ocean front 16x23 feet. While the bathroom was big, the huge window which allows an amazing view to the sea does not have a curtain so anyone on your balcony can look in. The location allowed for easy day trips to Tulum, Coba, etc. Easy walking distance to central akumal at .5 miles.

“A perfect place” The Condo was great. Very spacious, well decorated (the bathrooms are beautiful) and very clean (the maid comes every day) The view is breath taking.(We were on the last floor) The beach is very quite. You need some water shoes to enter the water because there is some rocks. The snorkeling is quite good. We saw some turtles, rays, and some school of blue fishes. Enjoy the Sunrises, they are worth waking up early!

“Much more than we expected!” Fabian and Dana are so accommodating and laid back... this jungle condo was a great, centrally located "nature retreat" for our action-packed family vacation. Lovely flora and fauna & unexpected jungle sounds... including monkeys and interesting tropical birds :) We chose the spot for its proximity to akumal beach, which was an easy drive, but not walkable with kids b/c of the distance and big highway to cross. Car was necessary. We loved using the beach chairs and boogie boards generously shared :) The condo itself was clean and simple with tasteful, modern furnishings, including on-demand hot water and aC with humidity control... pretty luxurious for their rates! Wish we had stayed longer to just hang out more on the patios, in the pool, etc. Only one minor complaint: pillows were too large for our old, cranky necks, but we fixed that by rolling up the comforter across the head of the bed. : ) Thank you for everything, Fabian and Dana!
