Absolutely amazing!
Looking at those pictures thinking “Could it be that good?” Yes, it is absolutely is. House is in a small, gated community (felt very safe) on a picturesque white sand beach. In the water, it is rocky and difficult to walk, but shallow, protected cove is perfect for snorkeling and kayaking (available at house). We saw conch, rays, squid, beautiful fish. Immaculate house was perfect for our group of 15. Each of 8 bedrooms has a bathroom (do not flush toilet paper) and air conditioning. Pool is clean and the perfect temperature. Kitchen has ample cooking supplies but not oil, spices, etc. Drinking water is supplied in 5-gal bottles. Running water is very hard. Bring moisturizing soap. Wonderful house staff come daily. Plan to tip them 2 each (or equiv. pesos), per person in the party, per day. We were delighted by their services. They will do laundry for 8 per load. Closest restaurant, Jungle Fish Beach Club, is 10 min walk on beach (excellent, reasonably priced, fantastic drinks; try the caipirinha and tamarindo mezcalita). 20 min more is the heart of the resorts, with restaurants, shops, and turtle snorkeling trips (well worth it). Akumal Concierge Services manages the property and books airport rides, private chefs, excursions. Safe, friendly drivers; wonderful food. Book van with driver for a day to see Tulum ruins, cenotes. If renting a car: parking is limited. Taxi service is in Akumal; public vans along the highway go to Akumal or Tulum for 50 pesos.
