Isidro the caretaker was friendly, helpful and fun

Paradise! Isidro and his wife took such great care of us and the food was amazing! Highly recommend!

The area is very nice, the house is very large and very nice; it meets everything described. My only observations are: to the family who lives and takes care of the house. They made a lot of noise, we heard the comments they made about us. The man had alcoholic breath every day and always talked by shouting or making a lot of noise and his treatment of us was very even. He yelled at us and scolded us for everything we asked him to do. They have some dogs that they let loose at night and they were barking and breaking the children's toys. The pool was very cold, we couldn't enjoy it, they didn't want to turn on the heating because it has an additional cost. We found 4 scorpions in the different bedrooms and we had children, although they say they are not poisonous in that area, we understand the environment and respect nature, but it was worrying. Regarding the host, Karla was very attentive and always available. Yes, we would return, but clarifying things before anything else

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

One of the best experiences we've ever had, it's a very beautiful house that you can enjoy with family and friends. Don Isidro and his family are beautiful people, we were delighted and really enjoyed this beautiful and remarkable place.

Una de las mejores experiencias que hemos tenido, es una casa muy bella que se disfruta con familia y con amigos. Bellísima persona Don Isidro y su familia, quedamos encantados y disfrutamos  mucho de este bello y remarcado lugar.

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!

Karla’s place is a paradise. It’s beautiful and the staff is absolutely amazing. The place is wonderful we will definitely be returning

The villa is just beautiful! A real paradise on earth! Isidro's welcome and service was perfect , his food excellent and always there to help us. Thank you Isidro! Our group is raparti full of stars in our eyes, we will come back for sure!

La villa est juste magnifique ! Un vrai paradis sur terre! L’accueil et le service de Isidro étaient parfaits , sa cuisine excellente et toujours là pour nous aider. Merci Isidro ! Notre groupe est raparti plein d’étoiles dans les yeux, nous reviendrons c’est sur!

This place is magical! I conducted a healing retreat here and it was marvelous. The house manager Isidro and his family was amazing and made us feel at home. His meals weee wonderful and cooked with love. The property is beautiful inside and outside. Very spacious!

This property is pure magic! I hosted a mermaid retreat here and it was perfect. The house is stunning and the property is incredibly serene and peaceful. The big cenote right behind the house was so awesome to explore each day when we got back from diving. The biggest highlight of this house is the local family that manages it on a daily basis. They are incredibly warm people who helped anytime we needed it. They cooked for us the final night and it was delicious! Felt so safe and at home here. We visited in July..I will say the mosquitos were so bad we could barely be outside even with repellent unless there was a strong breeze. Also be aware the beds are very firm! Overall I would absolutely host another retreat here and home to visit again!

Beautiful location, access to multiple cenotes and the Yalkú lagoon with amazing snorkeling with equipment provided. Isidro the groundskeeper and his family were so kind and helpful, and the host Karla was extremely responsive and helpful as well. Food was okay, but be SURE to bring plenty of cash if you get meals and groceries because we had a very hard time hunting down multiple ATMs right before leaving as cash was the only option to pay. It’s not in Akumal town, and it is expensive to get there if you don’t have a car, so prepare accordingly. Heed the note about being in the jungle, this is not a luxury experience and the home upkeep could have been better. Bring plenty of bug spray.

Karla's home in Akumal is an absolute gem! Our group of 15 had a fantastic stay. The spacious, gorgeous house easily accommodated us. The pool and cenote were divine, perfect for a refreshing swim. Nearby, the lagoon offered amazing snorkeling as well. Isidro, the caretaker, was friendly and his cooking was delicious. We'd return in a heartbeat. Thanks, Karla, for an unforgettable stay!

Where to even begin... this place is an absolute dream and the people make it even better. Karla, Isidro, and family are beyond welcoming and accommodating. Any request, they were happy and quick to fulfil. I suggest doing some meals at the house because Isidro is an amazing chef who rivals any restaurant in Mexico. The property itself is absolutely gorgeous, both inside the house and out. The lush gardens that surround the house are maintained beautifully and are a fun jungle escape in comparison to the beach. The house has everything you should need and comfortably fit 16 of us. We felt very safe and well taken care of the whole stay. I would highly recommend Casa Caleta to anybody. It is a place that I see myself returning to one day in the future.

Casa Caleta is even more beautiful in real life! The photos are accurate, the layout of the space is perfect. Everyone was comfortable and very happy. Although we initially thought it was in the main area of Akumal with beach access (which it isn't, and did not have), our guests were completely content with the amazing access to the Yalku laguna and private cenote. The directions for getting there were a little confusing, but we found it, and were even allowed to check-in a bit early, ahead of our guests. The property is VERY secluded - there is no real direct access to the beach, restaurants, bars, grocery, or shops without taxis/transportation. That is a bonus in some ways, difficult in others. Isidro and his family took excellent and attentive care of us, and their cooking was divine! The cost for groceries was significantly less than we budgeted for. Karla communicated promptly leading up to our stay, and everything went even better than hoped for! Will rent again!

We had the most wonderful and beautiful stay at Karla's house. The house itself was wonderful for our large group but the best parts were the yard, pool, and access to two cenotes! Isidro and his family were so wonderful and made the stay absolutely perfect. They were so incredibly kind and we were very fortunate for everything they did! And the food, wow!, it was always incredible and were some of the best meals we had. I would absolutely come back and would recommend anyone looking for space for a large group to absolutely stay here!

Our family had a wonderful time.  We had 6 kids and 7 adults for our Thanksgiving Break.  The snorkeling in Yal-Kul Lagoon was amazing; it was a short, beautiful walk to a private entrance into the lagoon.  We loved the pool and grounds.  The private gym was a fun bonus.  The location is close to so many cenotes. a short drive to Akumal or Tulum.  Isidro was such a great host while we were there.  Everyone loved the meals that he cooked.  It was the perfect space for our family reunion.  Thank you so much!

We had such an incredible stay at this home. Isidro and his family greeted us upon arrival and were so friendly and helpful for our entire stay. Highly recommend having him cook meals, his food is delicious! Great location, so close to so many different activities. It was hard to even leave the property because it was so beautiful, and you have access to the lagoon with a short walk. Some of the best snorkeling I've ever done. Would definitely stay here again!

Karla is the best host we've ever experienced on AirBnB. We ran into last minute problems with passports due to delays in processing by the US government. Karla was extremely accommodating, she allowed us to rebook our reservation to a later date even though she had no obligation to do so. More than this, she helped us arrange these logistics while she was in the middle of a vacation - even though she could just have easily ignored our last minute requests.  But Karla was understanding and compassionate towards our difficulties. Anyone who has had difficulties communicating with an AirBnB host will understand how exceptional it is to find one that is both easy to communicate with and a kind and generous person. We couldn't be more happy with her service and recommend her with the highest marks.

Our family of 6 adults and a one-year old enjoyed this beautiful house and grounds.  The layout was perfect for family time together at dining tables inside and out; comfortable couches; and around the pool.  As others have remarked, Ysidro made us feel comfortable and prepared delicious meals.  He was super attentive and very kind.  We heartily recommend Karla’s villa.

Casa Caleta exceeded our every expectation. The home itself is an architectural masterpiece and was so tastefully decorated with beautiful artwork throughout, but at the same time had a minimalistic feel which I absolutely loved. I can’t chose my favorite feature of the home because it was perfection! The outdoor living space and landscaping are equally awe inspiring. It truly is paradise! The cenote is private, surrounded by plants and wildlife. There are pathways that wind through the trees and take you to a second cenote, and a short distance further you’re overlooking the lagoon. The water was so calm and teeming with a beautiful wide array of fish. But truly, the best part of our experience was meeting Ysidro and his family. He is a wonderful person and takes pride in everything he does. Each meal he cooked was somehow better than the last, so do not miss that opportunity! Thank you Karla for sharing your home with us and a special thanks to Ysidro for making it complete.

Exceptional house ideally located in which you feel at home. Remarkable hosts. Top-notch services. A single downside is the sound of the pool filtration system that would have deserved to be in a room further away! The cenote and lagoon nearby are amazing. Other than that, everything was compliant. Highly recommend!

Maison exceptionnelle idéalement située dans laquelle on se sent comme chez soi. Des hôtes remarquables. Des prestations au top. Un seul bémol le bruit du système de filtration de la piscine qui aurait mérité d’être dans un local plus loin! Le cenote et le lagon à proximité sont incroyables. A part ça rien à redire, tout était conforme. Je recommande fortement!

Staying at Casa Culeta is like being in your own private resort. The home and surrounding gardens and yard are beautiful, expansive, private and very relaxing. Our family really enjoyed the pool, the "jungle gym", the private cenote, and especially snorkeling in the lagoon (early morning and late afternoons to avoid the hordes of groups who pay to snorkel there!), and sunsets from the rooftop deck. Ysidrio and his family are very helpful and responsive. They were able to loan us snorkel gear, floaties for the pool and a cooler for our beach day. The property needs some TLC: the poolside lounges are broken and need to be replaced, the glass doors which everyone used about a hundred times a day are rusted and missing the handle, the "gas" grill doesn't work, but you can use charcoal (not included). The kitchen is well stocked with equipment but be sure to bring salt, pepper, oil, spices, condiments, paper towels - everything you'll need to cook.

Awesome place in the middle of paradise. Close to everything. The house was amazing for our 2 families. Both parents had private room and one got the kids girls and boys separate. Big kitchen with enough to suit a bigger party. Lots of space. Isrido family on site very helpful and friendly.  Absolutely beautiful property and lots of wildlife in the area we saw coatis, agudi, deer and a fox on the property.

What an amazing stay! The place was gorgeous and the perfect spot if you are looking to relax and take it easy. There is fantastic snorkeling in the public cenote in the backyard, and the private cenote is a lovely spot for morning coffee and a quick dunk if you’d like. Gym is fun to use, and you’ll see tons of capybaras running around. The real MVP though is Ysidro (the house manager) and his family. Do not skip having him cook some of the meals - he is also the most delightful human to interact with. Highly recommend!!

Casa Caleta is dreamlike! The Villa was perfect and absolutely gorgeous. There were so many details. The ceilings, the glass hallway, huge kitchen, plenty of seating and natural light and don’t get me started on the outdoor bathtub! I made sure to take a bath and felt like a queen. The cenote is beautiful and snorkeling in the public area will change your life. So many colorful fish! The pics (which I was already impressed by) don’t even do it justice. It’s so much more peaceful and vibrant. Isidro and his family were extremely kind and accommodating - and great cooks! Get the garlic lobster it’s so good! My family had a small wedding ceremony for me and my fiancé in the yard. I’m so grateful this special moment was part of Casa Caleta. The mosquitos didn’t seem to bother us like in other reviews. My only heads up - Karla is great but not very communicative which can complicate the check-in process and overall planning for our event/group stay. The minor stress was 100% worth it.

Going to give the Pros on this property first; the grounds were beautiful, well taken care of with lots of wild life in the yard. The bedrooms are large, with large windows. Swimming pool very large and beautiful. The Negatives; no hot water in any of the sinks or bedrooms when we arrived only had hot water in Master bedroom. It took  three days to finally get hot water in the other bedrooms showers, never got hot water in the kitchen sink or any of the bedroom sinks. Listing shows washer/dryer available to Guest but was told when we checked in that they were not available to Guests. House in need of paint, backyard doors are in need of repair and cleaning, a lot of deferred maintenance inside the house. In need of deep cleaning.

We had a lovely five night stay at Karla's house. We were a group of two families with young kids (8,7,5,4). The house was perfect for our group to have some quality family time. The kids loved the pool and the older kids enjoyed snorkelling in the lagoon. Isirdro and his family were so welcoming and helpful. Our flight was delayed and we arrived at the house at 4:30am. Him and his family were there to welcome us and had prepared a hot dinner for us. Through out the trip we hired him to cook some dinners and breakfasts which was a lovely treat. He also kindly did the grocery shopping for us. We had a great stay and would go back in a heart beat. Our only challenge was we would have enjoyed beach access. On g**gle maps it looks so close to the ocean but its all private property and the only way to the beach is a taxi ride 5 minutes to Akumal beach. We did figure out you can walk to the highway and grab a 'collectivo' for a few bucks per person.

It's like staying in a private park! Just lovely and the mosquitos were not an issue for us either. The "private" entrance to the lagoon is shared with other homes in a neighborhood so it's not just yours. Also the house was difficult to find, so get detailed directions from host. Isidro, the host and his family were amazing and the house was very clean and perfect for a large group that doesn't want to go anywhere. You'll need a ride to anything local as its not in Akumal Village, but off the highway.

This place was perfect for our group of family and friends. This lands between Tulum and Playa De Carmen so you are right in the middle of things. We were looking for a house that was fitting for a large group and we definitely found it here! Thank you to the Iserdo! came into check if we needed anything every morning etc.  For our group we did our we cooking only because we were never on schedule and just left right we didn't hold him up. The living space into the pool was amazing and I already had friends and family all over social media ask about this place which I was happy to share. Thank you for having us.

A spectacular villa. Definitely a place to return and enjoy with friends or groups. As a host, Karla was very kind and helped us with everything to have a magical experience. We want to come back a thousand times over!! We love nature, safety, cleanliness, cenote and all the comfort that the house provides.

Una villa espectacular. Sin duda alguna un lugar para regresar y disfrutar con amigos o grupos. Como anfitriona, Karla estuvo muy amable y nos ayudó en todo para vivir unas experiencia mágica. Queremos regresar mil veces más!! Amamos la naturaleza, la seguridad, la limpieza, la piscina, el cenote y toda la comodidad que brinda la casa.

PROS: The house is lovely and HUGE! The family that lives on property to help out is wonderful and very friendly. Everything is exactly as advertised. We saw lots of wildlife. The cenote just off property is amazing! Bring snorkel gear. The kitchen is very well equipped. The beds are comfortable. The bathrooms are gorgeous. CONS: I would have given it all the stars in the world if not for the mosquitos. Insect repellent worked against the many mosquitos inside but they were relentless outside and made the outdoor space essentially unusable. You are not allowed to flush toilet paper at this property. That was an unpleasant surprise.

This house is even more breathtaking in person. We had a group of 12 and we had the absolute best time. The bathrooms are so unique and really serene, the grounds are immaculate, the host was super responsive, the maintenance crew were incredibly helpful when needed but gave us total privacy, and the pool and gym area is where we lived. There were very little mosquitos which was a pleasant surprise and the pool was the perfect temperature. A/C's were ice cold and internet was perfect. More than enough kitchen supplies to cook and grill out, and really the house had everything you needed. We will have memories for a lifetime. Thank you to our wonderful host and maintenance crew for such a lovely and uncomplicated stay!

We stayed at Karla's place for 3 nights and it was absolutely fantastic. The house is an attraction itself and excellently located with a safe environment. In addition, the house comes with Isidro and his family who are extremely kind and helped us with every question we had. Perfect  experience!

The house was a wonderful space to enjoy a week with family. We loved walking to the laguna in the morning and looking at the fish or snorkeling. Also the proximity to the beach and neighboring tourist locations makes this house a great central hub from which to plan a day of relaxation or a day of adventure. The caretakers of the house are there to help in whatever capacity is needed. They can cook all your meals or just come in to help with daily cleaning or laundry. Would recommend to family and friends visiting the area.

Such an amazing experience. We will be back and we will tell all our friends! Highly recommend meal service, as the meals were amaaazing and the lagoon within walking distance was dreamy for our group! Saw tons of fish, swam all day and enjoyed the relaxing jungle. Could not recommend enough.

OH MY GOSH this house is amazing!! Truly the photos don't even do it justice. You are literally in your own little private jungle. The house is huge and was spotless when we checked in. The pool is absolutely amazing and the gym is such a fun and unique feature. The private cenote was adorable and it was even better that we could access the main lagoon with just a 2 minute walk. We had plans to go out most days, and instead just stayed at the house because it was so perfect we didn't want to leave. A little tricky to get to because you're literally in the middle of the jungle, but once you figure that out, you're golden. It's nice to be so private, so this isn't really a negative, just something to take into account when you're arranging transportation. Isidro, the chef, and his team were the best! He was super helpful and accommodating throughout our trip. It was amazing to be able to have him run to the store for us and take care of our meals. We had a few allergies in the group and he made sure that was taken care of. And all of the food was DELICIOUS! Karla was super helpful and answered all of my (probably annoying ) questions leading up to and during our stay. Everyone that attended said we should make this a yearly trip and stay here again-- it was truly an amazing experience!

Wow! We booked this place for a company staff retreat and it was simply the most magical destination we have ever stayed. From day one of booking, Karla was so quick to reply to any questions I had. Covid logistics for testing and transpiration were my biggest fears… but she connected us with best of the best in the region. I must have called or texted her with a dozen questions preparing for our trip and she answered the each one quickly and in great detail! The staff at the home felt like family. It was wonderful to see their smiling faces each day. So cheerful and so many stories about the area. Anytime we tried to wash towels or cook- they were quick to stop us and take over. They worked around the clock to provide everything we needed. The home it’s self was stunning. The Cenote listed is just the smaller Cenote of the large connecting one near the beach. We discovered the large one the second day. 3 min walk down the path leads you to a tropical and breath taking private entrance into the Cenote. Who do NOT need a beach… the Cenotes were simply magical! The gym on-site was better than the gym I have back home. And the fact it’s all hand made with local wood made it feel more like play time than a workout. The tulum outdoor jungle gym is insta famous…. But THIS gym was twice as big and nicer. It was amazing! Karlas home will be an annual return destination. Don’t hesitate and book this gem of a property.

Karla’s place is just amazing even when we ran into a couple minor issues she made sure they were set straight we loved the cleanliness and the staff. Isidro and his wife were the absolute best we all felt very welcomed and felt like a family around them I give this place a 11/10 in all aspects that’s how great it is I would definitely stay here and we will next year!!!!!

As I could describe my experience, it's like that: In the middle of the jungle is an earthly paradise called Casa Caleta. It is located in a privileged place that allows you to enjoy the best of the Rivera Maya. You can easily travel to Tulum or Playa del Carmen as well as different tourist parks such as XPLOR, XEL-HA, XENSES and XCARET. The house is amazing, it has open spaces and the bathrooms are very nice, they have tubs and showers that are outside and it becomes a whole experience to be able to bathe there until I could see the stars, being from the city this is something completely new for me. If you don't want to leave, Casa Caleta has everything to be your only destination in the Rivera Maya. It has two cenotes with crystal clear water and a lagoon better than Cozumel, I think I've never seen so much diversity of fish in my life and if you keep swimming you reach a private beach. The pool and dining area are very comfortable. There is even an area for camping or playing. The service from the staff is very warm, you feel at home and more for the food they prepare with a typical seasoning of the region. I didn't want to leave Casa Caleta but I have an excuse to go back, they were about to finish the Jungle Gym on the property and it looks like it's going to look amazing and just faces one of the cenotes, so Casa Caleta will be back soon!

Yo como mejor pudiera describir mi experiencia es así: En medio de la jungla se encuentra un paraíso terrenal llamado Casa Caleta. Esta ubicado en un lugar privilegiado el cual te permite disfrutar de lo mejor de la Rivera Maya. Te puedes desplazar fácilmente hacia Tulum o Playa del Carmen al igual que diferentes parques turísticos como XPLOR, XEL-HA, XENSES y XCARET. La casa es increíble, tiene espacios abiertos y los baños están muy bonitos, tienen tinas y regaderas que están afuera y se vuelve toda una experiencia poder bañarte ahí hasta pude ver las estrellas, siendo de ciudad esto es algo completamente nuevo para mi. Si no quieres salir Casa Caleta tiene todo para ser tu único destino en la Rivera Maya. Tiene dos cenotes con agua cristalina y una laguna mejor que la de Cozumel, creo que nunca había visto tanta diversidad de peces en mi vida y si sigues nadando llegas a una playa privada. La alberca y el área de comer esta muy a gusto hasta hay área para acampar o jugar. La atención por parte del personal es muy cálida te sientes como en casa y más por la comida que preparan con una sazón típica de la región. No me quería ir de Casa Caleta pero tengo una excusa para regresar, estaban por terminar el Jungle Gym de la propiedad y se ve que va a quedar increíble y justo da a uno de los cenotes, así que Casa Caleta pronto regresare!
