I absolutely adore this little slice of the jungle - filled with monkeys, iguanas, bird and more - the cenote is beautiful and the house is modern and well maintained - with great a/c which is good for the jungle. Tiny pool on the roof is heavenly.

Wir haben für unseren Stop in Akumal eine besondere Unterkunft gesucht und hier gefunden. Die Villa hat eine außergewöhnliche Lage im Jungle und die zum Haus gehörende Cenote ist ein besonderes Highlight. Auch die Architektur und die Inneneinrichtung hat uns begeistert. Simone hat uns vor der Anreise ein paar tolle Tips (kochen mit einem Privatkoch in der Villa und / oder eine typisch mexikanische Temazcal Zeremonie neben dem Haus und der Cenote) empfohlen. Wir haben uns für die Temazcal Zeremonie entschieden. Es war eine unvergessliche Erfahrung, die uns einen bisher unbekannten Einblick in die mexikanische Kultur gegeben hat. Wir empfehlen diese in jedem Fall weiter. Simone hat uns dazu auch rechtzeitig informiert, sodass wir bereits vor unserer Ankunft buchen konnten. Vielen Dank nochmals für alles. Wer eine besondere Unterkunft in Akumal sucht, findet sie hier.

Awesome villa, the private Cenote adds a unique touch and the jacuzzi on the roof is spacious, next to the three line so we could see spider monkeys while we were bathing ! The children loved the place. Simone was very reactive and helpful.

We had a good 5 day stay in this villa with its stunning jungle surroundings and amazing private cenote. The rooftop jacuzzi up in the tree canopy is a real highlight of this property; to be able to enjoy a grill and get into the hot tube as the spider monkeys swing past is an unforgettable experience. However, we felt that the villa itself could do with a bit of updating and attention to some practicalities.

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.

I can’t recommend this place more highly. It is absolutely magical. Birds, monkeys, a cenote on site, crazy beautiful house. There was absolutely nothing that I didn’t love about this place and I can’t wait to go back. And Akumal is wonderful. It’s just the right size. Small, but with plenty of restaurants and stuff to do, especially if you like to dive cenotes. 10/10 all day.

This is an amazing house. The jungle setting is very peaceful, with completely different views from three levels of the house. The house is well equipped, the beds and sheets are nice. We used the grill on the rooftop and cooked in the kitchen. The cenote is gorgeous and refreshing, with crystal clear water and gorgeous night lighting. Perhaps most helpful was Simone, one of the most communicative hosts we’ve had - a real concierge. We highly recommend this house!
