Relaxing quiet location

Our stay in Akumal was great. We are really greatful to the management,especially Kat, for the wonderdul communication about the sargasso grass and suggesting another unit. We were able to snorkel right outside the unit and even though it was windy, we were able to enjoy the nay.

Nice place — great location!

A very nice place, with a great location. Property management team is terrific; responsive, checked-in regularly to make certain things were good and completely on top of things.

Just what we needed

We really enjoyed our stay! We had originally booked a different property along the same beach. The property manager reached out and asked if we would like to move to another one of their properties because of construction going on in the condo building. We agreed, and they upgraded us at no extra charge. We so appreciated that they thought of us in this way. The condo we stayed in was on the first floor and when I say right on the beach, you can’t get much closer! So incredible. The bedding was crisp and clean and super comfortable. We were right near by to two amazing restaurants ~ the jungle cafe for breakfast and La Beuna Vida for dinner. We bought snorkeling gear and went out snorkeling steps from the condo. Also super close to Akumal swimming with turtles, that was magical experience. *The staff was friendly and kind. The neighbor was super safe and chill. It was awesome to 25 minutes from Tulum so we could visit, and return back to the peace and quiet of Akumal. We also loved Aktun Chen national park. We loved making coffee in the morning, and sitting in the little porch over looking the pool and the ocean. (The kitchen was pretty well stocked with utensils and such) We could hear the beautiful waves at night. The property could use a little updating, it seems they are working on that. It certainly did not effect our enjoyment. We are not the “all inclusive never leave the resort” kind of people, and this was so in alignment with how we love to experience travel.

Beachfront Bliss

We are far from being all inclusive type people. This is the best way to get an incredible and more authentic and laid back experience without crowds and tons of tourists. The property is so well looked after as there is always someone on site caring for it. The unit B we stayed in was extremely spacious had the basics to cook in any time. Airconditioning in two rooms made for extra comfort. The location and view is the best part of this rental by far. Walking distance to some really great and affordable restaurants. There is a reef right outside your door to snorkel in that is like a fish tank. We rented bikes and rode over the bridge to the town of Akumal where the locals live and had the most incredible tacos I have ever had and the people are all so kind. You can also ride to cenotes and the Monkey Sanctuary. We hope to come back next year and stay for longer.

Amazing location and beautiful room

We loved staying here! The only cons were that we were switched from staying at the Reef to Luna Azul due to construction, but it seemed like they were doing maintenance and work on Luna Azul as well. Check-in was for 3pm, and they needed another hour to prepare our room when we arrived. No big deal, as we just hung out on the beach, but they seemed slightly unprepared. We were pretty bummed that their giant bathtub in the main room was a dud. We wanted to take a bath, and it was clear that we ran out of hot water quickly and we barely had any water in the tub before we realized you could only take a cold bath. Those things aside, the staff were wonderful, we loved the beach access, and the room was beautiful!! We would stay there again.
