Luminosa-Amazing beach setting,minutes from Tulum!

First of all, Alberto, our host for the week was the absolute best! Such a happy soul and so accommodating. We had several of Alberto's meals with our family of 9 (3 kids, 2 Seniors and 4 Adults) and they were all excellent. He set us up on the rooftop for a dinner which was a highlight - and a lot of effort. The house is superb and even better than the photos - the pool, beach and landscaping were beautiful. The bedrooms were perfect with great linens and PILLOWS! The house was impeccably clean and Alberto was excellent at keeping it tidy while we were off on adventures. The peaceful area that the house is in had a just enough little boutique hotel restaurants to eat, drink and listen to music at and the neighborhood Cenote was pretty sweet. We also felt very safe walking the streets in the neighborhood from morning to night. A wonderful trip all around and recommend highly! TY!!!!

We loved our stay at Villa Luminosa. It was beautiful and peaceful and just what we needed. Alberto and Luci were great hosts. Every day they were looking to do something for us. We had them cook for us a couple times which was great and we also had them do some laundry, which was very much appreciated. The location was very nice. There was some restaurants and bars within walking distance, but more on the quiet side. The water was gorgeous, but you definitely need water shoes to be comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better two weeks. The pool was chilly when we got there, but it warmed up very quickly as the weather was gorgeous. There were plenty of taxis available if you don’t rent a car. Would highly recommend this place to anyone! We miss it already!!

We had an amazing stay at Villa Luminosa with four adults and five children (ages 2–11). The layout was perfect — plenty of private spaces to retreat to, plus large, comfortable common areas for everyone to gather. The pool was ideal, and direct beach access meant the kids could snorkel anytime; we saw brilliantly colored fish and lots of starfish. The location is great — about a 15‑minute walk in either direction to restaurants and a beautiful local cenote. The villa manager arranged a ruins tour and a cenote swim one day and a boat trip another, and coordinated reasonably priced van transfers for us, which made everything effortless. The staff were incredible — warm, attentive, and excellent cooks; we enjoyed breakfast and dinner there every day, and each meal was better than the last. Highly recommended for families — we had a wonderful time and would happily stay again.

We loved our stay at Villa Luminosa!! Before we arrived the property management company responded quickly to questions, provided a place to order groceries before we arrived, and even helped to arrange a rental car. We were well taken care of by Alberto and Lucy, the lovely caretakers, and Rhett, one of the property mangers. Alberto and Lucy cooked three delicious meals for us, made batches of margaritas, and even did an impromptu cooking lesson of guacamole and pico de gallo. Alberto also made ceviche from a fish my son caught in the bay in front of the villa. Rhett stopped by the first day with some great recommendations for local food, seeing the ruins and a monkey sanctuary near Coba, and fly fishing in the area. The villa itself is lovely. So many places to relax, inside and out. We had nightly cocktails on the roof and watched the sunset. We did get out and explore the area - lots to do! - but I could have spent the entire week in the villa! Highly recommended.

This villa is phenomenal. The photos don’t do it justice. Rhett was so informative and Lucy and Alberto made our stay a 5star. Impressive service, amenities and home. We felt right at home and Lucy’s cooking was fabulous and extremely affordable. You definitely need water shoes for the beach in front of the house. The road was definitely bumpy but still totally worth the drive once you see the home. Beds were very comfy and I’m picky. The yaxkin cenote that Rhett recommended was secluded and we were the only ones there it was a perfect little spot to explore. Everything was top tier. We can’t wait to come back!

Amazing, relaxing experience. Everything was exactly what we expected. Alberto and Luci were amazing. We used them a lot for meals. The meals they made were fresh ingredients. The pool was used a lot. We walked to most of the restaurants near by. All that were on the road to the house. These were great as well, couldn't beat what Alberto and Luci did for us. The made meals that weren't in the menu book that we requested. The house is well kept. Photos don't show how comfortable it really is. Can't wait to return.

I cannot say enough about our stay at Villa Luminosa. The house was PERFECT - just as described. The Akumel team was responsive and so helpful in answering all of our questions. Alberto and Lucy (the caretakers) were DELIGHTFUL. We also utilized their chef services, and no meal was a miss; it was all fantastic.

Great service, Alberto cooked a couple meals for us and the place was very clean! comfortable beds. we'll be back!

Amazing property with plenty of room to spread out with 4 couples. The location is a beautiful bay on the beach where you can paddle board and kayak. Alberto and Lucy the caretakers are the best and can make delicious meals, help with massage appts at the villa and provide other recommendations.
