"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time here with our family of six. With four bedrooms in the main home, a large living/dining area, large well-equipped kitchen, an ocean-view backyard, and a large west-facing pool, it had everything we needed to both relax and entertain the kids for a week. The home was very well maintained, with large kitchen appliances, new power outlets, flawless internet connection, and comfortable TV room. The caretakers were welcoming and friendly. And, property management from Akumal Direct was superb from booking all the way through the conclusion of our stay."

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at Casa Dos Palmas in Akumal, Mexico was absolutely incredible—truly a 5-star experience from start to finish.We traveled as a group of four adults and three children, and one of the biggest highlights of our trip was Hugo and Eunice, who prepared both breakfast and dinner for our family and friends throughout spring break. The food was consistently amazing, and they went above and beyond to accommodate everyone’s needs—especially the kids. By the end of the trip, they honestly felt like part of our family.The home itself is stunning—beautifully designed, spacious, and very comfortable. Every bedroom having AC made a huge difference, and the airflow throughout the main living area kept everything feeling cool and fresh. The fact that all the rooms face the ocean made it even more special.We especially loved the pool area in the back of the house, which stays shaded until early afternoon—a lifesaver in the heat and perfect for relaxing during the hottest part of the day.Another unexpected highlight for the kids was the yard, which was full of hermit crabs and iguanas. They had so much fun gently chasing and catching them, and of course always releasing them right after—it became a daily adventure they looked forward to.While the beach directly in front of the house wasn’t really swimmable due to being very rocky, and the nearby town beaches were also filled with sargassum seaweed during our stay, Scott, the host, was incredibly helpful and attentive. The same beach can be accessed for free if you enter from the beach side near the house, but if you enter from the town side, there is a $7 per person access fee.We spent most of our time enjoying the house, but we did venture out a couple of afternoons—to the beach and to a nearby monkey sanctuary, which I highly recommend visiting.Despite the seaweed conditions, this was one of those tr"

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed for 6 nights and everything was great! Cleaning and pool maintenance staff was fantastic and Rhett the property manager gave us lots of great advice on where to, where to eat etc. Thank Rhett. Was a pleasure meeting you. The backyard pool area is like an oasis. Beautiful pool and a great bonus was the hot tub. My girlfriend and I loved it. Restaurants in the area are very good. We rented a golf cart to make it easy to get around Akumal village but it is walkable. You can eat everything from pizza and burgers to fine dining steaks seafood and Italian. The house is very well appointed. We ate out half of the time and cooked our own meals the other half. If you want to do that just stop at one of the grocery stores on the way - food is all you need! The bbq and kitchen appliances including an espresso maker are all there for your own use. There is a separate casita in the backyard which would be great for another couple or kids. Overall it was a great experience. I’ve been to riviera maya many many times but always at a resort. I preferred the flexibility of renting the house. Eat what and when you want, mot have watered down alcohol etc. Had a great time. Mucho gracias! Booking is very easy and very professional, everything you need to know is emailed to you. Thank you to the whole Akumal Villas team. I will definitely be contacting you again."

"having such a beautiful home in a beautiful place was amazing, we’re already talking about “next time”! the property was very comfortable for my family of 13! each room had its unique scenery and design, loved how spacious it was for us and how easy it was to spend time outside with lots of seating and shade, we loved enjoying the views from the pool and rooftop. plus the coconuts and iguanas! really appreciated the on site staff, they were a great help and fun to talk to!we enjoyed exploring Akumal so much, very walkable and new things to see and do every day! golf cart rental is so worth it for getting around too. we went to a local grocery store from the provided list for most meals but La Buena Vida was about a 6 minute walk and was a yummy dinner as well as the Turtle Bay Cafe for the fresh bakery and smoothies! plus the convenience stores were great for snacks and if you go to the pueblo around 5-6pm get the elote!! thank you Michelle!!"

"We had a great time. It’s powerful to wake up and be by the ocean. The second floor bedroom overlooks the ocean. Exceptional and friendly staff on site. Our kids enjoyed the pool and the animals, like iguanas, in the yard. The sunrises should be enjoyed from the rooftop. "
