Pros +
- It was close to resort we were going to as well as the reception staff. She was EXCELLENT and vvery helpful!
- Our studio was spotlessly clean and very comfortable for a three night stay at the end of a two week trip to the Yucatán Peninsula. We enjoyed walking on the beach and swimming at Playa Akumal a bit north of Las Villas Akumal. The small touches at the Villas made the stay exceptional: the shower and foot washes down by the pool, the provided beach towels, the poolside bar, the onsite restaurant, and the daily housekeeping. The staff were very friendly and communicative. The pools and beach were beautiful. The whole property was clean and well cared for.
- Quiet, nice pool, lovely helpful staff, great beach for walking and good swimming, bring water shoes to enter over rocks
Cons -
- Driving into the town of Akumal was surprisingly difficult given the design of Highway 307 separating the Villas from town. Walking looked impossible ir circuitous. This isn’t the property’s fault. Just something to be aware of. We were glad for the onsite restaurant and the Jungle Fish Beach Club restaurant nearby.
- All good. People were very nice.
- Can’t think of one thing.

Breakfast was alright. I was the only person who ate.
All good. People were very nice.
Well kept. Right on the beach. The pool and the beach were kept clean. You could have breakfast and or lunch at the rooftop facilities. Maid service every day if you want or needed.
Can’t think of one thing.
big rooms and dedecnt size kitchen
Asked to pay more at the facility, Pictures shown in the listing is for higher price room , we were sent to standard room with no ocen view or space in crawl spaceRocky beack can not swim small swimming poolStingy drianage smell next to our room
Peaceful and quiet facility. No nonsense you don’t need, just the basics, a pool, breakfast and lunch cafe and a beautiful view. No background music anywhere on the facility just the sound of the ocean. The beach they have has good snorkeling if you take the hotel kayak out a 100yards or so. Also the beach is home to several turtle nests and you can see the mother lay eggs or see the hatchlings if you time the trip right. We were lucky enough to see hatchlings in late November.
The beach is rocky, need to drive to get to a good sandy beach you can walk out into, like xpu ha beach. Had some noise transfer from cafe above us every morning. Getting dry towels was a bit of a chore as the staff were very reluctant to change out beach towels. The entrance road is not glamorous so don’t be scared driving down the road from the highway.
The room we booked is really comfortable, had a big bed, super clean and spacious. It’s literally in front of the ocean. We enjoyed the pool as well. Service is excellent. The reception lady Laura is great, super nice and kind. We recommend the stay.
The villa was spacious and immaculate. This would be a wonderful location if not for the sargassum which ruined the trip
The sargassum was out of control. The villa do not have the resources to manage the sargassum like a larger hotel so it is left rotting with a horrible stench. I could not sleep at night due to the smell. We could not go outside due to the smell. There is NO ONE staying there because you cannot use the beach and the smell is just foul. So the only people staying there seemed to be us and two men who insisted on yelping and signing continuously for 2 hours from 5 am. The villa social media feels like a lie. They show white beaches with no sargassum and show it as a family location but they didn't give these two men the boot, only told us that the men offered to pay for our breakfast to apologize. We declined and suggested they give that to the staff who were also inconvenienced by them.We left a day early. We didn't ask for any refund nor was it offered when we told them we were leaving due to noise and smell. Their entire approach seemed to embody the shoulder shrug emoji.I would not recommend.
We ate up the road at a wonderful place on the beach, easily within walking distance. The layout of the patio to the pool to the beach was perfect. It was one of the most relaxing vacations we have ever had.
We enjoyed the quietness of the area and the comfortable apartment with the wonderful view from the terrace. It was the relaxing part of our trip we were hoping to get after 2 weeks of busy sight seeing across Mexico.
the Sargasso has reached the beach. The hotel tried to clear as much as possible, but with the waves and wind a never-ending process. It didn't bother me too much as was able to walk along the beach and for swimming I used the pool.
We stayed at the nice Villa with great seaview and confortarble beds.Clean and well maintained with you would need in an apparment.
The beach was nice but too rocky. Shoes absolutely needed.Maybe due to two days of wind and waves there was nothing to see under water as not clear. Breakfast on terrace extremely slow. We had to wait 1 hour to get our food! Also very expensive. Totally disorganized. No other alternative than taking the car to Akumal beach for decent food for breakfast and dinner.
Beach
Breakfast charge for every refill of coffee. They were not friendly. Rain came into our room
It was a lovely place and the rooms were very nice clean and comfortable. The beach was beautiful and the Jungle Fish re
The unit was very spacious & had lots of dishes & utensils in the kitchen. There was a great patio with lots of seats & a beautiful view. Falling asleep listening to the waves was amazing! The beach area was right outside our door & perfect!
The onsite restaurant was very limited- out of lots of food items & had no alcohol at all. Luckily, Jungle Fish restaurant was just a short walk away.
Beautiful apartment, amazing sea views, the pools are just in front of the apartments and so is the beach. Loved it.
exceptional, clean and comfortable
quiet location need a car
we love the pool. nice apartment, clean.
The photos showed an apartment with an ocean view.And we didnt get it.
Beautiful apartment, location right on the beach, friendly and helpful staff
Nice big Apartments in front of the see. Quiet and calm. Comfortable beds. Nice swimming pool.
Problems with hot water in one of the showers, and the staff didn't fix it, after telling them so.
