Casa Almaviva is such a wonderful place. The house itself is so comfortable and beautiful, with lots of places to enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds it. The family that tends the house take great care of it, as well as it's guests. They are truly wonderful, caring people. Todd, the owner, was very helpful and quick to answer any questions. The place is very remote...far down a dirt road that is very rough. Though its only 15-20 miles from Tulum, it takes almost an hour to get there. The reef is a bit of a paddle(or a helluva swim) from the beach, but totally worth the effort. There are kayaks and paddleboards as well as snorkel gear you can use. It took a bit of exploring to find exactly where to go to find the best reef, but watch the local fishermen and divers and go where they go. I highly recommend the excursions offered. It was hard to leave. I hope to go back one day.

Beautiful place and a relaxing vacation…like all the way relaxing. There is nothing close, any shop, restaurant or bar is an hour’s drive. The caretakers are wonderful and the food was excellent. We also enjoyed a fishing trip and the boat picked us up right on the beach. The nature preserve it is on was a bit disappointing but the home and property are fantastic!

If you want a unique, relaxing, experience of a resort without having to deal with a resort, this is your spot. Food was amazing(bring stretchy pants)! Local flavors, beautifully prepared with such attention to details. Damn the margaritas were great! Be sure to read the descriptions and do your research. Get the jeep and just be patient on the drive appreciating this amazing place in the world. David, Mariam, and Freddy were just amazing, so thoughtful. Really felt like we were leaving family when we left the casa. Definitely do the mangrove tour, Punta Allen tour, fish and get the massages! Caught two barracuda and two king fish, David whipped up killer fish tacos and amazing fish fillets with the catch. Keep eye on the sargassum forecast. We had a fair amount due to Hurricane Mellisa but walked about a mile down the beach and swam in crystal clear waters with NO ONE else on the beach. By the time we were leaving the beach and water was clear. Thanks to everyone!

Wow. This place is special. Our visit exceeded our expectations. The experience was like a boutique all inclusive resort, top notch and micro - just for us. The staff, David, Miriam and Freddy, delivered warm hospitality, excellent meals and made us feel like we were friends by the end, but I’m sure they make all guests feel that way. One more note about the food, it was high end restaurant foodie quality and fresh, fresh, fresh. Twice we hired a boat to explore the gorgeous lagoon then to the reef for snorkeling and then to a beautiful shallows for swimming, floating and beverages. This is a must-do, ask for Captain Juan, he was awesome. The catch? No catch just a long bumpy ride to get there - very, very bumpy. The host, Todd, was 100% reliable with thorough information and quick responses. There were four of us there, so eight thumbs up!

The drive from Tulum to the accommodation took 1:20h due to poor roads. Luckily, we had a 4x4 jeep, which made the adventure even more exciting for our three teenagers. We were warmly welcomed and felt like at home. David spoiled us with his cooking skills and fulfilled our children's wishes. Miriam made sure the house was sparkling clean, and Fredy took perfect care of the surroundings. We had a great time at Casa Almaviva and miss the crew and the animals: Mischa the cat, the raccoons and the dog Hatshi, who always cuddled up to me on the deck chair. We had a lot of algae and couldn't go in the sea, but luckily Casa Almaviva has a built-up pool, I hope it will last a while. The organized excursions were all great! Due to the rain, we traveled to Cancun a day earlier. The sandy streets were full of water. I recommend always planning an extra day for arrival and departure. Thank you to the team for everything!

If you are debating between Casa Almavida and another Airbnb, choose casa almavida- you will not be disappointed! The pictures don't do it justice. The house is drop dead gorgeous, and the beach was stunning. The water was blue and crystal clear. We chose to do the Punta Allen Nature Tour and it was so fun! The best part of this home was Freddy, and Miriam. Freddy made some of the most incredible food, and Miriam’s hospitality was amazing. Hatchie was the star of the show, and was such a sweet dog. Can’t wait to come back!

David, Miriam, and Freddy were amazing. We couldn’t have asked for better. Hatchie (the house dog) made our stay even better than expected.

Truly a rare place. Miles of private beach, pristine ocean, ocean and jungle views that take your breath away every minute, and a beautiful and comfortable home with every convenience you’d ever want in as remote a location as this all with the friendliest caring staff you’d ever hope to take care of you and yours. This the place to go to really get away from it all, truly unplug and recharge by enjoying the nature and peace available, all while having every need cared for!

Our stay at Casa Almaviva was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, the experience exceeded our expectations. The drive from Tulum to the house was a bit slow due to the road conditions, but Todd had noted this very clearly in advance, so we were prepared. Once we arrived, the journey was well worth it. The staff were nothing short of amazing—attentive, friendly, and truly dedicated to making our stay special. The food and drinks were flawless, prepared with such care and attention to detail that every meal felt like a celebration. Casa Almaviva is a true oasis, offering the perfect blend of tranquility and luxury. We’ve already started talking about booking another stay! Thank you, Todd and the incredible team, for an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a slice of paradise.

You won’t find a better place to connect with nature and the people around you than here, while still having many of the amenities of home. We had 10 people (6 children 9-15) and everyone had a blast. A lot of relaxing and just enjoying being present. Food and staff are fantastic. We took the fishing trip from the shore with the local and caught a ton of barracuda that turned into the day’s ceviche and evening’s tacos prepared perfectly by David. The Punta Allen nature trip was outstanding. So local and raw, we saw manatees, giant sea turtles, dolphins all up close with no rush. Snorkeled on the reef was outstanding. Kayaking or SUP out front and you don’t even need to snorkel when the water is calm, there’s an untouched reef that you can look down through the water from above. The Starlink works pretty darn well for work (I was able to do Teams calls). Air conditioning at night does a nice job. Endless stars from the rooftop patio each night can see Milky Way clearly.
