3BR house in Tulum

House with access to Laguna Yal-Kú and snorkeling - Houses for Rent in Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico

My family and I were looking to reconnect with nature and tranquility to spend time as a family. The place was perfect, with the necessary amenities so we didn't have to worry about anything. The hosts were always ready to help and the service was first-rate. I highly recommend the place, and every detail of the accommodation was perfect. They made my family feel unique and special. That's priceless. We will be back!!!

Mi familia y yo buscamos reencontrarnos con la naturaleza y tranquilidad para pasarla en familia, el lugar fue perfecto, con las amenidades necesarias para no preocuparnos de nada. Los anfitriones siempre al pendiente y la atención fue de primera. Recomiendo ampliamente el lugar y cada detalle del alojamiento fue perfecto, hicieron sentir a mi familia única y especial. Eso no tiene precio. Volveremos!!!

This is a great spot to relax. we actually came back after staying a night there. You can jump  into the lagoon from the backyard. The kitchen is well equipped and Efrain is one of their excellent chefs who cooks for the park and they will bring the food over to the house for you. The staff are incredibly nice and spoke with pride about working for the Xcaret group.

The house was incredible and had everything we needed. the host was very responsive and the staff always helpful. We had a great time swimming in the lagoon and the pool. 100 percent recommended.

A spacious house with direct access to Yal-Ku Lagoon. A perfect place to relax as a family.

Una casa amplia con acceso directo a la laguna de Yal-Ku. Un lugar perfecto para relajarse en familia.

Staying at Casa Romero was a truly special experience. The house has a 1975 plaque commemorating its opening, and it's impossible not to imagine what this place must have been like over five decades ago… undoubtedly something magical. It is located in a prime setting within Yal-Kú Lagoon, surrounded by nature, which allows you to reconnect with nature and disconnect from everything else. It offers the perfect balance between tranquility and comfort, ideal for families like ours, who travel with older people and small children. The house is very comfortable, well equipped, and perfect for large groups. Although during our stay, the cove had some sargassum and we ended up spending more time in the pool, that doesn't take away from its charm: it's still one of my favorite places in the world. Special mention goes to Christian and the entire staff, who made the experience even more memorable with their attention and warmth. We have visited them many times, and we will definitely be back.

Hospedarnos en Casa Romero fue una experiencia realmente especial. La casa tiene una placa de inauguración de 1975 y es inevitable imaginar cómo ha de haber sido este lugar hace más de cinco décadas… sin duda, algo mágico. Está ubicada en un entorno privilegiado dentro de Yal-Kú Lagoon, rodeada de naturaleza, lo que permite reconectar con la naturaleza y desconectarse de todo lo demas . Es el balance perfecto entre tranquilidad y comodidad, ideal para familias como la nuestra, que viajamos con personas mayores y niños pequeños. La casa es muy cómoda, está bien equipada y funciona perfecto para grupos grandes. Aunque durante nuestra estancia la caleta tenía algo de sargazo y terminamos pasando más tiempo en la alberca, eso no le quita encanto: sigue siendo uno de mis lugares favoritos en el mundo. Mención especial para Christian y todo el staff, que hicieron la experiencia aún más memorable con su atención y calidez. Los hemos vistado muchas veces y Sin duda, volveremos

This is my favorite Air BnB and we love staying at this property because we feel right at home

this is our third year staying at this Amazing place. My kids love it. Host replys quickly, this is truly a Paradise. look forward to next year. very safe and friendly community

We stayed with a baby and a toddler and had a great time. The place is a bit quirky in terms of layout and style. We couldn't get the jacuzzi to heat up and the borrowed pack n play was a bit rickety. You'll need to lock and unlock the gate each time you come and go. Nonetheless we would love to come back! The ability to walk off our own dock to snorkel was really amazing. We saw tons of fish and borrowing the gear for the week from yal-ku was easy and worked out great. For arrival, look for the iron gate and signs for casa romero. After awhile someone should come out and give you the key. Overall this was a really great stay - lounging by the pool or taking a dip can't be beat. thank you!

Our stay was perfect. If you like wildlife and access to the best snorkeling in Akumal, you can’t beat this location. We loved it!  If we weren’t snorkeling, we spent our time relaxing in the backyard area (patio, pool, hot tub, and the waters edge) enjoying the scenery and abundant wildlife. We would definitely stay here again.

It was an awesome place to stay with great location once we found it. I enjoyed the walk to town. Hot tub heats up quick, plenty to see and do. Great fo diving nearby in town. Snorkeling easy in lagoon, just walk right in.

The yak-ku lagoon is a treasure. Every day we snorkeled the lagoon once or twice, counting species and joining schools of tropical fish. The house is beautiful and comfortable. Any questions we had were immediately addressed by the team, responding within the hour. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Amazing house in front of the Yal Ku lagoon, 10/10 service and phenomenal location. I would come back 1000 times. Thank you so much Emma and team! 🫶🏼

Casa increíble en frente de la laguna de Yal Ku, atención 10/10 y locación fenomenal. Volvería 1000 veces. Muchas gracias Emma y equipo! 🫶🏼

The location can not be beat.  It was private and peaceful, with great security.  Emma was highly responsive with any inquiries before and during our stay.  I highly recommend staying here.

Seventies house with character and all the comforts. Was just looking for the entrance but was taken care of by the staff of the Yalku Lagoon. That is also what makes this house so special, the location. You can borrow all the materials for snorkeling (from the neighbors). Were also of excellent quality. In the early morning and early evening you have the Lagoon almost to yourself. During these quiet moments we have a ray and green sea turtle family, was really an experience.

Jaren zeventig woning met karakter en alle gemakken. Was even zoeken naar de ingang maar werden opgevangen door de medewerkers van de Yalku Lagune. Dat is meteen ook wat dit huis zo bijzonder maakt, de ligging. Je kan (bij de buren) alle materialen om te snorkelen lenen. Waren ook van prima kwaliteit. In de vroege ochtend en vroege avond heb je de Lagune zo goed als alleen voor je. Tijdens deze rustige momenten hebben we een rog en groene zeeschildpad gezin, was echt een belevenis.

Magnificent property, excellent service and the place is unbeatable, unique. It is a gem to rest and connect with family, partner or friends. I'll be back.

Magnífica propiedad, excelente atención y servicio y el lugar es inmejorable,  único. es una joya para descansar y conectar con familia, pareja o amigos. regresaré.

Nos da gusto que disfrutaran del mejor secreto guardado en akumal, la laguna de yalku, gracias por hospedarse con nosotros.

Kindness, Beauty, Relaxation and Peace…don’t know how else to describe our trip and the place.  We loved it.  I do believe if you are the type that is afraid of nature or doesn’t love the outdoors, then you would want to pass on this property.  But, if nature and outdoors are your thing; you will fall in love with the property.  P.S.  the hot water on the shower in Master is actually the knob that says cold and you have to let it run for a bit.

One of a kind snorkeling and bay location. Private Oasis which is very hard to find in Cancun. Located in the middle of everything. Snorkeling equipment provided, meal service also provided and 24 hours security. Hot tub got very HOT!! Was super happy with the place and host. Will be back.

this is the second time we stay at this amazing place we always make good memories here everything is so perfectly placed the location the beautiful home the Snorkel Park right next door we are making plans for next year already

Emma’s place is awesome!!! This was are second time staying there and we love it!!! Such a cool place… the location is awesome and the setting is beautiful!! We will be back!! The crew working the property is so helpful and always attentive!!! Amazing!!

We wanted a quiet, safe, beautiful, comfortable place right on the Yal Ku Lagoon in Akumal with easy access into the lagoon and a private pool. The lagoon is a beautiful place to snorkel & its right out of the back door. This place delivered all of that!!! You get free snorkel gear from the Lagoon Park a 3 minute walk away. We found 2 restaurants we loved in easy walking distance & others a 5 minute drive away.The guards for the gate were so friendly & nice. Bikes are available too. If we needed anything- like more filtered water it was promptly delivered. Having the pool & hot tub all to ourselves was great!!! We were a family of grandparents, 7 year old grandson & his parents & our other adult son.

It was a great experience, we enjoyed the tranquility of the place and swam in the cove where we saw many fish. Highly recommended for spending time with the family in contact with nature.

Fue una gran experiencia, disfrutamos la tranquilidad del lugar y nadamos en la caleta donde vimos muchos peces. Muy recomendado para pasar en familia en contacto con la naturaleza.

Overall, this is a great place. the location, access to Yal Ku, and feel of the place cannot be beat. Noe and the workers were responsive and kind. Bear in mind, the house could use some updating. They do try to accommodate, though.

Gorgeous location next to fabulous lagoon. Beautiful house.

The location is perfect if you like to swim. Walking to the lagoon and swimming at Yalku were perfect for us and the kids. The pool and patio were great, the hot tub as well. The building felt like it needed some attention. the Jacuzzi tub would not fill, workers came to fix faucet but still would not fill, then we discovered there is now way to turn it on, there is no on switch for the Jacuzzi. the shower in the main was a trickle even after the guys fixed it. the other bathroom was missing a hot water knob in shower. the roof did leak on us in the rain. The kitchen while nice could use a restocking of pans and pots. we found 2 small pots, one frying pan, no cookie sheet. hot water was a issue they tried to fix twice....but the AC worked, tv worked, blender and fridge ice maker worked, lots of glass wear found. and again the location is perfect. would be nice if the patio had a light. the floors get slippery and I wouldn't rent if you have young kids since the stairs are open.

Great house and beautiful setting. The lagoon was perfect and offered the most stunning views. Emma and Noa were great hosts, and Claudius was always on-hand to help and so very sweet to our family. Would definitely go back!!

The location is unbeatable, it has private access to the cove, the house is very spacious and comfortable for the whole family, the service is spectacular.

La ubicación es inmejorable,  tiene acceso privado a la caleta, la casa es muy amplia y cómoda para toda la familia, el servicio es espectacular.

great and beautiful place. extremely recommended.

An amazing place with a private access to the Yalku lagoon. The house is very well equipped and the main room is fantastic. We found everything we needed and Emma was very responsive to our needs.

Thank you very much Jorge, it was a pleasure to welcome you, with your family and to know that you enjoyed your stay with us. We hope you will return soon.

Just spent a week at the lagoon house, and while it's a beautiful area and the staff were very friendly / tried to be helpful, we were disappointed with the unit overall, especially given so many glowing reviews. Here's what we wish we had known: - The place is not set up for little kids. Steep spiral staircase made our 4yo sob with fear for days. Hard marble floors everywhere. Ungated pool. Third bedroom tucked away downstairs so couldn't put a kid there as planned (no way to hear if there was a problem). No toys/games of any sort, incl for beach or pool, and "kids" snorkle gear offered was way too big, so kids couldn't even use the lagoon. - Beds are unbelievably uncomfortable. Hard as a rock. - Window coverings are inconsistent and insufficient, so all bedrooms flooded with light at sunrise. - Diff maintenance issues nearly daily (WiFi down, broken AC, leaky roof in rainstorm) - No spare linens or cleaning supplies (including paper towels), but we made do.

Wow! What an incredible home and location. The pictures do not do justice to beauty of the house and lagoon. We loved stepping into the backyard and having access to incredible snorkeling. When we were not snorkeling we were close to wonderful restaurants. Swimming with the turtles at the beach was a highlight. The hosts were always responsive and helpful. It was a dream vacation!

Amazing place! My family had a wonderful vacation at this place. everything is just Beautiful.  Scenery is spectacular and Staff is super friendly.  we are already planning a return. thank you so much.

This place is gorgeous and perfectly located, with a private entrance to the serene aquarium that is Yal-ku lagoon. It also has lovely outdoor spaces, including a shaded couch area, a jacuzzi, and lounge chairs by a swimming pool that reflects the palm trees. The views from the tower terrace are amazing; the rooms are comfortable and spacious. We enjoyed the use of snorkel gear and bikes. The hosts and security guards were responsive when we had questions or minor issues. Note that there are no housekeeping services provided during the stay. Highly recommended; we are plotting our return!

Super recommended! Excellent attention, it was exactly what we were looking for to rest and spend a beautiful moment in nature. We loved the house and the area.

¡Súper recomendado! Excelente atención, fue exactamente lo que buscábamos para descansar y pasar un hermoso momento en la naturaleza. Nos encantó la casa y la zona.

Amazing house. Host was very responsive and all the staff on the property were so nice. The house was very clean and well kept. We brought our two kids 2.5 y/o and 11 months, house was a little tricky to navigate with novice explorers … spiral staircase and slippery marble throughout the house but we figured it out! Some part of the pool always had shade which was really nice for the kids and access to the lagoon was great. It was a bit of a trek to get access to the public beach, would recommend renting a golf cart if you are with little travelers. Would definitely book again.

Beautiful lagoon location. Staff are very friendly.

Very nice location.  Easy to get around. We rented a golf cart locally and that was a lot of fun too.  It is a little hard to find at night but otherwise perfect.

Wonderful location, great house, great staff!  Thank you!

This house was amazing! The house architecture reminded us of cool 70s TV mansion. The place was unbeatable and the whole experience was great. The house is situated on a gated 3 house complex guarded at all times, they open the gate and you park right in front of the door. The house interior is much better than the photos in my opinion. The location is really what is all about. The house garden has private access to yal-ku lagoon, which is a paid for lagoon that is open between 9-5. There are people swimming around there but for us it was no issue at all. The best part of the day is swimming at 8am alone with the clear water, if not, a late swim is also great. The swimming pool and hot tub were the main attraction for the kids. The restaurant next door is excellent and just ask and they will send the food over. You can even go swimming! All in all, well worth the price and will definitely repeat.

Stunning location on the lagoon with great snorkeling, easy walk/bike to restaurants, dive shop or the town market.  The house has a lot of common space and very interesting architecture, including the top floor balcony which is great for sunsets.  We had no trouble finding it or checking in after dark on the first night.  The security guards were very helpful and always available.

Tom Large fueron unos huéspedes increíbles! me alegra que hayan disfrutado de este maravilloso lugar. Sabía que mi vivienda estaría en buenas manos con ellos/as. ¡Muchas gracias por alojaros en Casas Romero! Los esperamos pronto.

We absolutely loved the home and the location. The communication was great and the couple of issues we had while we were there were resolved quickly. The hot tub was not heating and they had it fixed very quickly and the beds are very hard but they brought us an egg crate to accommodate. I would highly recommend getting new mattresses for the home. The Wi-Fi was having some issues while we were there but it may not always be like that. We were able to relax and enjoy snorkeling in the lagoon, and all of the wildlife around the home was great! I would absolutely recommend this home and we would love to stay here again.

This is our third stay in the Romero complex. By far, one of the best locations in the Akumal area, right on the Yal Ku Lagoon. We snorkeled everyday. Half Moon bay is within walking distance and we also snorkeled there lots. New to us this year was the restaurant at the Yal Ku Lagoon — easily accessible through a private gate from the property. The house pool and hot tub were used everyday, all day. We also enjoyed using the bikes provided almost everyday— all six of us. Because of the house's unique location you feel completely private with expansive views of both the Yal Ku Lagoon and the ocean inlet (which is also excellent snorkeling). Until next time!

What a unique, vintage stone Caribbean castle set on the Yal-ku lagoon. 3 large bedrooms, 3.5 baths with lots of privacy. The master bedroom is huge with windows surrounding the entire room and even a hammock. Gigantic bathroom with rose colored marble and a sunken tub.  Second bedroom is on second level but down a small set of stairs (need a railing there please) and has two beds. The main floor bedroom is off the kitchen and was appropriate for my semi-handicapped mother.  Nice private deck into the yard. However, that bedroom had a slight septic tank smell. They had placed strong smelling (and beautiful) lily arrangements in bedroom and bathroom - perhaps an attempt to cover the sewer smell? Cool third story look out tower 45 steps up the spiral staircase. Great views! Loved the pool (needs safety railing to get in). Hot tub DID NOT GET HOT, even though they claimed it worked. Best part was snorkeling multiple times a day (go at 8am and 4:30pm when no tourists). NEED WASHCLOTHS!!

Excellent stay, I would definitely stay with my family again

Excelente estancia, sin duda me volvería a quedar junto con mi familia

We stayed here for 8 days and had a fabulous experience. The house is beautiful, with interesting architecture, lots of bright, airy spaces, and amazing views. The pool is very nice and we enjoyed the hot tub after snorkeling. Being right on the lagoon was great for the views and the access to snorkeling. The lagoon is crowded during the day, but that didn't impact our sense of privacy or safety at the house. We saw lots of fun wildlife in the front yard and in the lagoon. It was neat to watch storms roll through from the lookout. This was a perfect place for our kids, ages 4 and 6, where they could play freely and safely and enjoy all the different water features. The location at the end of the road in Akumal is nice. We walked from the house to Half Moon Bay most evenings and did lots of day-trips to beaches, cenotes, ruins, etc. The staff at the property were friendly and attentive. The hosts were responsive and quickly resolved an issue we had with the laundry machine.

We returned again and spent a few days of rest enjoying nature in an atmosphere of tranquility and comfort due to the excellent facilities of Casa Romero.

Regresamos nuevamente y pasamos unos días de descanso disfrutando de la naturaleza en una ambiente de tranquilidad y comodidad por las excelentes instalaciones de casa Romero.

We stayed in this beautiful home for 11 days with our two adult daughters, son in law and two year old granddaughter. It was sublime! From the minute we stepped outside we felt like we were somewhere not quite in this world with the beautiful YalKu lagoon on our doorstep, and Snorkelling gear provided for our entire stay. Our granddaughter basically went from lagoon to pool to spa for the entire stay and we all thoroughly enjoyed the spaciousness and artistic touches in the home. The restaurant right next door brought delicious lunches to our door and we also enjoyed La Buena Vida right on the beach a short drive away and found some gems in Akumal Pueblo also. We really appreciated the quick response from our hosts whenever we needed anything. They actually installed a whole new washer and dryer after we had some issues at the beginning of the stay. The area is abundant in bird, animal and marine life and we were thrilled to see a turtle swim right into our private lagoon.

Great location!!! Really loved being next to the lagoon. The snorkeling, especially before and after public access, nice pool, comfortable outdoor spaces, and the amazing view from the crow's next were fantastic. The house is older, so some appliances are subpar, but the kitchen is well equipped with dishes and smaller appliances, and the house is large and comfortable. Emma was very helpful. We appreciated the recommendations for restaurants and places to visit (we enjoyed the Tulum ruins and and loved the cenotes at Kantun Chi). The restaurant next door had tasty breakfast and lunch and was so convenient. The staff (security and at the lagoon) were all polite and helpful. We had a great time!

House is beautiful. Location can’t be beat. Amenities are top notch. On-site staff was attentive. Property is secluded and safe. Beds are a little hard but that’s Mexico. Akumal is a small town moving at a slowed pace, and Yal Ku is a magical place. If you want to avoid the crowds, slow down and live on ‘beach time’ this is your place. There’s no night life or daily maid service if that’s what your looking for but there’s turtles outside the kitchen window, safe roads for walking or biking (free for use) and full time lagoon access (gear included). Sunrise/ sunset from the crows nest are breathtaking. Lagoon before/ after hours is amazing as that’s when the big fish/ rays/ turtles are out. Pool is a great cool off after a ride to the playa for sand (avoid the guys out front and go to the ticket window) or the pueblo (try Taco Maya). The hot tub is a great warm up after the lagoon. Yummy breakfast/ lunch delivery available from snack bar. Order groceries ahead if you want to cook.

We are a family of four. Our kids are 21 and 18 and it was great that we all had our own spaces to relax in when we needed to. The lagoon was amazing. We bought our own snorkel gear to avoid having to leave our ID to borrow from the business next door. It was great to swim around before and after the tour groups. We saw lots of fish and sting rays. There was a turtle my husband saw daily in our week long stay. We loved the view from the tower and enjoyed soaking in the hot tub talking about the fun things we had done through out our day. We had a car and enjoyed dining at the local restaurants. All in all it’s a great place to call home while in Akumal!

It exceeded our expectations  in every way, amazing place, we will totally return

Superó nuestras expectativas  en todos los sentidos, lugar increíble, totalmente regresaremos

A wonderful place to stay. Quiet, great location, responsive host. Everything you could possibly need and more.

Beyond imagination as lagoon with tons of fish in backyard.  The stone house is awesome and has many characteristics of upscale Mexican home - each bedroom has own bathroom, very large rooms, great a/c. I felt like I was in a movie with the beautiful surroundings (flowers, nature, lagoon, pool, sunchairs, yard).  Home is co located with very nice snorkel establishment, we were given free equipment for our stay and access to cafe on premise, free bikes as well. Very very secure with 24 hr guards, everyone was so nice.  The location in Akumal is excellent, low key beach town with good restaurants.  We loved the vibe, the home was beautiful.  Good size pool with long steps (good for children).  But the backyard and connected lagoon is simply amazing.  This was well worth the cost, I want to go back next year. Very good for families, peaceful, clean and lots to do. The host and on-site team very responsive and gracious.

Wonderful stay! It is the second time we have stayed here and it will always be special for us and our family holidays. Fully recomendable for anyone who has kids or family, great activities in the middle of nature. It is very well located (you do need a car or driver). It is always very clean and we feel right at home. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

The shower tile grout was moldy. The roof leaked during a rainstorm, the sewer backed up flooding the downstairs bedroom/bathroom, upstairs sink drained slow.

Hola Nathan, para nosotros lo importante es su comodidad, revisaremos cada detalle para que no vuelva a suceder, no encontramos el moho, pero tendremos mas cuidado,  siempre dedicamos tiempo para que cada experiencia sea excepcional.

Place was amazing just next to yalku lagoon which was the best part. Emma was amazing with communication with checkin and giving us info about the place. We were with family and enjoyed everything they had to offer. Thank you

It is a magical place, you are immersed in nature and there is always a bird, a rodent and of course fish to watch. Being able to snorkel from the end of the garden in Yalku Lagoon is a luxury that is priceless! The house is wonderful, spacious, well-equipped, plus a pool and jacuzzi. The house has nice guards. We were two families of four and it was just perfect. We were really sad to leave this place, and the quiet little streets for a stroll and the recently opened little restaurant 3 minutes walk is great too. I recommend 1000%!

C’est un endroit magique, on est immergé en pleine nature et il y a toujours un oiseau, un rongeur et évidemment des poissons à observer. Pouvoir faire du snorkeling depuis le bout du jardin dans la lagune de Yalku est un luxe qui n’a pas de prix! La maison est merveilleuse, spacieuse, bien équipée, avec en plus une piscine et un jacuzzi. La maison a des gardes sympas. On était 2 familles de 4 et c’était juste parfait. On était vraiment triste de quitter cet endroit, et les petites rues tranquilles pour se promener et le petit resto récemment ouvert à 3 minutes à pied est top aussi. Je recommande à 1000%!

Incredible spot, great staff, snorkeling out the back door was amazing!

Definitely unique. Surrounded by nature and framed by the beauty of the cove, it is one of our favorite places in QuintanaRoo The house is divine and comfortable, fully equipped with everything you might need for an unforgettable vacation. The staff is great, Griselda is the best! We love visiting them and highly recommend it

Sin dudas un lugar único. Rodeado de naturaleza y enmarcado por la belleza de la caleta es uno de nuestros lugares favoritos de QuintanaRoo La casa es divina y cómoda, full equipada con todo lo que se pueda necesitar para unas vacaciones inolvidables. El staff es genial, Griselda es la mejor! Nos encanta visitarlos y lo recomiendo ampliamente

excellent location and conditions in the house. And better without communication with the managers and owners. We will definitely repeat

excelente la localización y condiciones en la casa. y mejor sin la comunicación con los encargados y dueños. sin dudas volveremos a repetir

The house and location is a dream. Being there gave us a chance to get into Yalku several times.

La casa y ubicación un ensueño. Estar ahí nos dio oportunidad de entrar a Yalku varias veces.

The location by the lagoon is great.  The house is beautiful and very clean.  The staff is very helpful and responsive.  Griselda went above and beyond to take care of us.  Just ask for something and they will do whatever they can to help you out.  My wife and I are already discussing our next trip there.

This home was my families favorite simply for the presence of a decent sized pool and uninhibited access to the lagoon. Free snorkeling equipment is provided with your own access to the lagoon. You’ll see upwards of 20 fish species and probably more during your snorkeling. If you have kids, then look no further. It was actually a welcoming break for us adults to have our kids stay entertained with the pool, jacuzzi, and lagoon while we could relax inside. The lagoon is not private and busy with other visiting snorkelers but when you’re face down in the water, you hardly notice nor will care. This home is located in eastern Akumal and a well regulated area to provide a sense of safety for tourists. The development here is heavily westernized and very pro tourist, but it doesn’t take long to go the western side of Akumal across the freeway if you’re seeking more of an authentic cultural experience with local cuisine and an impressively extensive display of street art murals. The home is behind a locked gate with 24 hour security so if you have any apprehension of safety in mexico, then look no further. The home is three stories with a large spiral staircase that leads to a deck at the top for breathtaking views of the lagoon and sunsets. The rooms have a 80’s vibe to the tile color and decor. The beds are fairly hard, but that seems to be consistent within Mexico. The combination of ceiling fans and mini splits (a/c) was the best among all the airbnbs we stayed at so far in Mexico. We felt like we could get it cold enough to use a blanket which was a welcome after those sticky humid afternoon adventures. The home is well worth the money and if you’re seeking comfort and entertainment while not having to travel far, then this is it. Thanks for capping off our trip to Mexico with a memorable family experience. 🙏

This place was amazing! It was our friend’s first time in Mexico and they fell in love with it immediately, too. The lagoon was like being in another world. The pool and hot tub made the yard perfect. And the wildlife was so wonderful to sit and watch. Also the security was wonderful, the community and the distance to all the different cenotes was perfect! Definitely book this place!

Super recommended , the house is amazing , the attention to the level , the truth is everything that surrounds the house of the best,

Súper recomendable , la casa increíble , la atención al nivel , la verdad todo lo q envuelve la casa de lo mejor,

The most idealistic, beautiful, lagoon you can imagine. Don’t go do any snorkel tours, your backyard is waiting. Grab some groceries in the Pueblo and come home to quiet. Thanks for a lovely stay!

A spectacular place to spend a few days in contact with nature

Un lugar espectacular para pasar unos días en contacto con la naturaleza

Beautiful home in a beautiful place! We came with 2 families (including a toddler and 2 babies) and felt very comfortable and safe. The lagoon access is amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed the pool. We bbq’d most evenings (we requested the bbq and the host sent someone out to deliver it to the front lawn- so easy!) We enjoyed happy hour at Buena Vida restaurant down the road (about 5 min drive)- happy hour every day from 5-6pm. Hosts are very friendly and timely in their responses. Great spot we can’t wait to return!

Wow!!! This place is amazing!!! I visited this lagoon, Yal Ku, almost 35 years ago when I was a teenager…it was so amazing to come back! The property is super beautiful… so great to have a private pool and beach front access to the lagoon!! It’s a slice of paradise all to yourself!:)  The property has staff on site 24/7… and always willing to assist with anything! Love this place!

This house is at the ideal location for exploring the cenote and lagoon. There are several great water views and also nice trees and wildlife/birds. The snorkeling is fantastic. Please know that it is a snorkeling destination and because of the house’s proximity to the best snorkeling areas, during the day there are many tourists that come to swim and explore the lagoon. But there is still reasonably good privacy and it’s very private before 9 AM and after 5 PM. The management provides bikes and scuba gear which is a great help. La Lunita restaurant is only a 10 minute walk, and La Buena Vida is 10 minutes past that. House is comfortable with private en suite bedrooms. The birds nest view is stunning, although 45 steps above ground floor.

We really enjoyed the accommodations!  Such a beautiful house and location.  We loved having private access to the lagoon and being able to see all sorts of wildlife from the back patio. The area felt very safe and was fun to explore. I also found Griselda, the host, to be very responsive to inquiries and needs.

The house was great and we loved the decor! Rooms are spacious.  Location is unbeatable and we snorkeled the lagoon twice a day! Really quiet and a real island among the touristic mess. The view from every direction is beautiful and it felt like our own jungle retreat with iguanas and many tropical birds early morning and in the afternoon. Akumal is a great place to hang out in. We really enjoyed our stay!

Absolutley amazing house and superb location.  Management was extremely helpful and communicated well.  Five stars

A beautiful place with a lot to see around if you like to swim, very quiet and relaxing, it is a place you should know even in cold seasons! Beautiful place! If you like swimming there is a lot to see. The place is quiet and relaxing, you should stay here even in cold days!

Un lugar hermoso con mucho que ver alrededor si te gusta nadar, muy tranquilo y relajante, es un lugar que debes conocer incluso en temporadas de frío! Beautiful place! If you like swimming there is a lot to see. The place is quiet and relaxing, you should stay here even in cold days!

fantastic house on Yal-Ku lagoon. The staff at the lagoon and restaurant were the best!

after not being on the Riviera Maya for 5 years we decided to return to Akumal instead of Tulum. We chose Emma's house because we knew exactly where it was located as we had stayed in Akumal twice before, and it had a private swimming pool. Boy are we glad we made that decision! Tulum has changed quite a lot in the 5 years since our last visit and not for the better IMHO. Loud music in front of all the hotels and everything is quite expensive, with no decent lower priced options on the playa. And don't get me started about the traffic jams.... IN TULUM! Anyway the peace and quiet of this house that is managed by the folks that operate the next door lagoon was a welcome paradise! great house with everything you could want, your own pool and entrance to the lagoon was grrat after a long day out and about or we just stayed at the house and enjoyed Akymal Pueblo & Playa. You need to have a car for sure but it will be safely parked behind a gate with a 24 hour staff member to let you in and out. We were a group of 4 but the house can easily host 6 people and maybe 1 or 2 more if you can share beds. We cooked some great meals with a very well stocked kitchen. make sure to get what you need as there was only a bottle of oil and salt & pepper, along with a nice fruit basket upon arrival. the hosts did offet to shop for us in advance but I like to do my own shopping. You do see lots of folks snorkeling in the lagoon right out back but we knew that going in and it was no problem at all. Sunset from the top floor patio with a cocktail was so nice with really special views. Tulum and Playa are only 20 minutes by car either way and Akumal is a sweet little town that you should check out regardless of if you stay or not! Turtle Bay Cafe, La Lunita and Chucky's Taco's in the Pueblo were are faves. There is even a lab in town (pueblo) where you can take your Covid tests. Can't wait to come back as every staff member was kind and helpful, they even have a cafe next door that will deliver breakfast and lunch! many thanks for a great 5 night stay! David

Amazing location!  You can't beat the private access to the beautiful Yal Ku lagoon.  The views from the house are unreal.

Beautiful home with a view in the BEST part of quintana roo. Very comfortable and accommodating. You don't even need to leave the house to enjoy the yucatan peninsula because you have access to the lagoon and the pool and Jacuzzi. As an added bonus there is the yal ku restaurant directly behind the property which delivers delicious food right to your front door. Thank you Emma and team. We will ONLY be using your property when in quintana roo.

Perfect place to stay!! Would definitely recommend this place to everyone!!

This was our second stay here - it was every bit as good as the first! Beautiful place with great amenities and great service. We’ll be back for more!

A nice, spacious house with great snorkelling in the back yard. The house backs onto the Yal-Ku lagoon, which is a park and is fairly shallow and warm. It has lots of rock formation and fish. There is also a good pool and 4 person hot tub. There is a manned security gate part way down the road through Akumal Playa and the compound that contains this house and a few smaller units has its own gate which is staffed, so security is excellent. The house is built out of hewn limestone blocks and is very solid and a bit castle-like. The beds are comfortable and each room has its own wall-mounted air-conditioning unit. There is a service for ordering in breakfasts and lunches (09:00-16:00) for reasonable prices. Emma and her team supply great service in taking care of their guests.

House, location, staff all wonderful! snorkeling fantastic, bird and animal watching a bonus! great kitchen for when you want a break from eating out. do not hesitate!

This is the single beat place to stay with kids in Akumal.

Amazing house in a perfect location. We enjoyed the direct access to the lagoon and the local restaurants nearby. Emma and her team were great hosts.

The house was very clean and in a perfect location.  We enjoyed the pool, the lawn, the snorkeling from our backyard.  Also the gated entrance and security made everything feel very safe and secure.  We highly recommend it!

Best house I have ever stayed at, I would come back any time. Great hosts, wonderful location and unique house. Thank you so much!

The house is located in one of the best locations in the Mayan Rivera, Yal-Kú is a paradise. Thank you Emma and Griselda for always being attentive.

La casa se encuentra en una de las mejores ubicaciones de la Rivera Maya, Yal-Kú es un paraíso. Gracias Emma y Griselda por estar siempre atentas.

Great family spot with three separate bedrooms and baths for extended family.  So fun to walk to lagoon and snorkel with provided equipment.  Very clean.  Staff was also very attentive and friendly.

Amazing place, amazing people, such a great experience!

The best location in Akumal, private access to the cove of Yal Ku, the staff are always attentive and with the best attitude for you to enjoy your stay, simply your best option to enjoy akumal

La mejor ubicación en Akumal, acceso privado a la caleta de Yal Ku, el staff siempre atento y con la mejor actitud para que disfrutes de tu estancia, simplemente tu mejor opción para disfrutar de akumal

The place is magical.. the house is extraordinary, the location unbeatable .. the Caleta was impressive and the panoramic viewpoint o the third floor of the house is priceless. .. This is one of our favorite places in the world!

This is a great place to rest, disconnect from the world and connect with nature. Super comfortable facilities and very attentive staff. Visit it!

Este es un magnífico lugar para descansar, desconectarse del mundo y conectarse con la naturaleza. Instalaciones super cómodas y personal muy atento. Visítenlo!

The house has everything you need to enjoy as a family without the need to leave ... well, you have to like the kitchen, although I think you could also solve that with the food services offered in the house

La casa tiene lo que se necesita para disfrutar en familia sin la necesidad de salir … bueno te tiene que gustar la cocina, aunque creo que eso también lo pudieras resolver con los servicios de comidas que se ofrecen en la casa

This place is AMAZING!!! Why go to resort when you can stay at this gem??? Small town feel and the service and attention is excellent. House is beautiful and the location is perfect. We can’t wait to return! Highly recommend this property.

Great host! Thanks for everything, Emma! Huge help.
