La zona es muy agradable, la casa es muy grande y muy linda; cumple con todo lo descrito . Mis únicas observaciones son : a la familia q vive y cuida la casa. Hacían mucho ruido, escuchamos los comentarios q hacían respecto a nosotros. El señor todos los días tenía aliento alcoholico y siempre hablaba gritando o haciendo mucho escándalo y su trato hacia nosotros fue muy igualado. Nos gritaba y regañaba por cada cosa q se le solicitaba. Tienen unos perros q sueltan en la noche y se la pasaban ladrando y rompiendo los juguetes de los niños. La alberca muy fría, no pudimos disfrutarla, no quisieron poner la calefacción porque tiene un costo adicional. Encontramos 4 alacranes en las diferentes recámaras y llevábamos niños, aunque dicen que no son venenosos en esa zona,, entendemos el entorno y respetamos la naturaleza , pero estuvo preocupante. Respecto al anfitrión muy atenta Karla y siempre pendiente. Si regresaríamos pero aclarando cosas antes de res

We stayed here for a bachelor trip and the host did an excellent job making our stay convenient and enjoyable. With a big group, the services were definitely worth it, though it might be less so for a smaller family. The location is central, giving easy access to a wide variety of activities, local sites, and amazing food spots in town. Big shoutout to Isidro for the outstanding service and for sharing all the best insider tips around town!

We rented Karla's place for my partner's 40th birthday party and it was perfect for our needs! The chef, Isrado, was so wonderful and made us some great meals and really took care of us during our stay, even got a birthday cake for the party. The house is beautiful and located on multiple cenotes which was great. The only issue we had was we did not find out that the house is not located in the main village of Akumal until a week or two before our trip. We had to rearrange some plans and get rental cars for some of our group not staying at the house as it is not within walking distance, so keep that in mind. It all ended up working out and we had a great trip, just plan accordingly! We will definitely be back in the future!

Our group of 15 had a wonderful stay at Casa Caleta! We had 8 children ages 3-12 with us, so we spent most of our time on the grounds. The pool, cenotes, and lagoon gave us plenty to explore. The housekeepers, Isidro, Israel, and Leo clearly care about the place and have managed it for over 20 years! The food was delicious and they were very accommodating. I highly recommend stocking the place with groceries and having Isidro and Isreal cook a few dinners. The breakfast service is excellent. As busy parents, we really appreciated waking up to a clean kitchen and having breakfast prepared and served on that beautiful patio. Like many other reviewers, we were under the impression at first that the house had walkable access to Half Moon Bay and Akumal town. For the protection of the lagoon and Yalku park, it does not. Transportation for a large group was expensive, but easy to arrange. We felt it was worth it to have access to such expansive, beautiful grounds. We hope to return!
