3BR Villa in Akumal

Juan

Excellent, 2 weeks ago

The house and the whole experience are fabulous, far superior to what you see in the photos. 200% recommended!

We were looking for a special place to stay for our stop in Akumal and found it here. The villa has an exceptional location in the jungle, and the cenote belonging to the house is a special highlight. We were also delighted with the architecture and the interior design. Simone gave us a few great tips before our arrival (cooking with a private chef in the villa and/or a typical Mexican temazcal ceremony next to the house and the cenote). We chose the Temazcal ceremony. It was an unforgettable experience that gave us a previously unknown insight into Mexican culture. We definitely recommend this place. Simone also informed us about this in good time, so we were able to book before our arrival. Thanks again for everything. If you are looking for a special place to stay in Akumal, you will find it here.

Beautiful jungle home with the BEST HOSTS! We took full advantage of all that Villa Cenote had to offer - the gorgeous, private cenote, delicious meals prepared in the home by chef Adriana, excellent local recommendations from host Simone, and the Temazcal sweat lodge experience on property with 2 incredible shamans. Our hosts helped arrange everything including private transfers to and from the airport as well as a rental car (much better than using a big company at the airport, no rip offs!) Everything was absolutely wonderful. The house was well appointed (especially the kitchen), beds comfortable, AC units kept things cool, and rain showers with doors that open to the jungle outside were magical. It was also great to go into the sleepy town of Akumal in the off season. Great location, wonderful hosts, beautiful special home, 10/10 would stay again. If you are looking for peaceful serenity in the jungle with access to everything Riviera Maya has to offer, look no further!

We had a magical 10 days here. The highlight for us was being right in the jungle - almost every evening we saw spider monkeys swinging through the trees (view from the rooftop was amazing) along with hundreds of iguanas, birds and even a snake. The kitchen had everything we could need and the house was really spacious throughout, with several large bathrooms and a great open plan dining/lounge area. Having a private cenote was a privilege, along with the vast number available within a short drive. There is a 10 min drive down a slightly bumpy gravel road to get to the house but we found it pretty manageable with a midsize car and just taking it pretty slow.
