Villa Morena Boutique Hotel Ecoliving

It was awesome from the palm trees to the pool to the birds singing to the dinner served at our room . Breakfast was very good and also awesome we are coming back !

Leaving

The hotel is run by a very kind family. You have an exceptional welcome and hosting as if you were at home. They are very attentive to details. They provide healthy and tasty food, and all facilities meet a high-quality standard. The hotel is in the middle of nature, you can perfectly escape a hot day or extreme sun by being under the shade of trees covering the whole surrounding space. We had an interesting exchange and talk with the family owning the hotel as well as with other hotel residents.

The road to the hotel from the highway is not paved. There is around 1-1.5 KM of challenging road for small cars.

beautiful style and area,great food & staff

Breakfast (included in our rate) was excellent. The hotel is literally in the Yucatan jungle and is well laid out. The villas were arranged around a beautiful pool with privacy for each villa. The rooms were large and well appointed with espresso coffee machines, a large bathroom, jacuzzi tubs (outdoors) and the veranda had its own lounge and shade areas.I also really loved the design of both the rooms and the hotel itself. Simple yet luxurious. The opposite of a stay in the city. Just what we had been hoping for.

You have to drive slowly on the gravel road leading to the hotel. Finding the turnoff the first time requires some care- best to check in when it's light if possible.

A real slice of heaven. A small operation with 6 cabanas, but all the better for it. The family makes sure you do not need for anything, they offer the freshest breakfast, dinner and cocktails you can imagine and total peace and quiet. Everything we wanted.

Very well maintained property that is beautiful and unique. They also serve delicious food for their dinner and breakfast options. Staff is also extremely accommodating and willing to help

Excellent breakfast, pool and surroundings are very relaxing, dinner is very testy, and you feel love of home cooking.

Difficult find something to say, "we did not like it".

The Villa Morena was a wonderful surprise! All the staff and especially Vanessa were amazing! The food was so fresh! Homemade pasta for dinner was really a highlight for me. Make sure if you are interested in street art to go into Akumal and walk around. A couple of good coffee shops there and roasting lunch smelled delicious. Also book a massage that is given right on your private patio!

Nothing could have been better.

The grounds are absolutely beautiful , lush and green with beautiful butterflies everywhere . The pool was natural. Vanessa and her family made everything so comfortable and easy

Absolutely Nothing. It’s a beautiful and peaceful space away from the hustle of life.

Home-made breakfasts were delicious and prepared from fresh ingredients. Location is excellent, quiet and off-the-beaten track. There is also a lovely swimming pool to keep you refreshed. Room and bathroom of a very decent sizes. Well-kept and clean. The staff always remembered to make sure we were not missing any bath cosmetics, organic and very good quality. Towels exchanged every second day which was really nice. The staff were always ready to provide info which places to go to. The owner even took the effort to help to replace our punctured tyre. If you want you can also order dinners a la carte, just order in the morning during breakfast. When we were going on longer trips, the owners equipped us with boxes for our food and also offered to prepare some lunch for the road. I recommend it entirely to have great memories.

Nothing comes to my mind.

The hotel ground looks great, in the middle of the jungle. The bed was comfortable. The staff is extremely friendly and the food is great. And we could loan two bikes.

Our main issue was the huge amount of mosquitos. We visited in August, during the rain season. The mosquitos were able to enter our room, it would be better if it could be sealed of. The shower did not have warm water.

A wonderful place, immersed in nature, relaxing and peaceful, yet not far from Akumal and Tulum. The cabanas are equipped with everything you might need, tastefully furnished with a beautiful common area and pool where you can relax. The hosts are very kind and provided us with very useful information. It turned out to be a pleasant experience! It's a pity we couldn't stay longer, highly recommended!

Vanessa is an excellent host, the resort is very well run and kept. It is quiet, and the atmosphere is very relaxing yet family friendly. A nice breakfast is included and dinner is available by request. The beach, the lagoon, the town, and a Super Chedraui are all nearby. The whole experience was wonderful.

We stayed here with our 2 young boys and absolutely loved it! The family that run it are amazing, the food they serve at night and breakfast is delicious (and homemade) and they are very kind. Inside our lodge we had everything we need and thanks to 2 big fans it was not too hot. Amazing swimming pool as well. So overall highly recommended!

Great place for our family with a 1.5 year old. She loved the playing area and the pool, and even got two new grandmothers! Resulting in a very relaxed time for us. You should have a car when staying here.

Only fans in the rooms, but was fine for us.

The hosts are adorable, one of the kindest people I've ever met. They do anything with a smile. It was great being surrounded by nature, hearing the animals when going asleep and waking up. Breakfast was excellent. Great swimming pool. Loved our stay at Villa Morena.

Beautiful and clean cabanas. Very helpful and attentive hosts. Beautiful garden with exotic birds and nice pool. Very nice breakfast and food ala carte.

Be sure to have a car if you want to get anywhere. However the host family was sweet to drive to the main road where we could catch the collectivo.

Great place, very well designed, quiet, rooms are big and well furnished.vanessa and the staff are really nice. Just enjoy!

I loved the beauty of the property itself and the feeling of being in a more secluded, jungle-like, natural environment! The lagoon pool was lovely and refreshing, even deep enough in parts to dive. It's a very serene, relaxing, quiet environment as others have said. My cabana/bungalow was lovely. The hosts/owners, Vanessa and Manuel, were exceptionally kind to me, even offering short rides for me given that I was alone and without a rental car. This is a family-run, low-key resort -- it was a pleasure getting to know their children too. I even played ping-pong and games in the pool with them! Vanessa recommended the Akumal Bay Beach to me as well (warm/easy to swim in water located at a nature preserve called Tsuuk Akumal Parque Natural - note, there is an entrance fee) and a beach bar/restaurant called Loi-Ha. If you go, try the fish tacos - made with grouper - fantastic!

For me, not having a rental car did make my stay more difficult. Since I was only a 1 night stay, it was manageable. The resort is about a 10-15 minute walk from the main highway, along a fairly rough road - gravelly and rocky in spots. I took a taxi from my previous hotel in another location to the Villa Morena. To get to the Akumal beach, I walked to the highway and flagged down a colectivo (like a public bus, but really a van). Very safe, no issues, short ride, cost $2 USD). To get back to Villa Morena, Manuel kindly gave me a ride as it was convenient to where his daughter attends her after-school program. (Note: The only reason I gave 4 stars for Facilities instead of 5 was that the ceiling fan in my cabana didn't work due to a previous guest accidentally breaking the remote. There was a stand-up room fan in the room, so I was fine comfort-wise. But I prefer a ceiling fan, as the stand-up fan was just a little too loud for my taste, relative to sleeping.)

Loved the whole spirit of the place. Food was excellent, people were so lovely, pool was a joy, just the whole atmosphere. Perfect for just being away from it all and away from the tourist throngs but still close enough to go the beach as desired ( with a car).

oh a few mosquitoes but not really bad.
