We travel often and this was the best place we have ever stayed! I had never heard of Akumal, but very happy we landed here because it was a great location to everything. We started our trip by going to the nearby Monkey Sanctuary. We also visited Xel-Ha, which was very close by. From there we traveled to Tulum, playa Del Carmen, went into Akumal, and took the ferry to Cozumel. It was easy to get around, really only one main road. The house itself is spectacular-beautiful decor, and everything is so comfortable and luxurious (towels, beds, linens). We hired chefs and they made amazing meals for breakfast and dinner. The groundskeeper and house cleaner were so nice, and pleasure to be around. We never stay anywhere twice, but I would definitely stay here again. The views from every room were spectacular, we felt like we were in paradise. Just sitting outside near the ocean was breathtaking. The neighborhood is beautiful. We walked the beach often and the community was so friendly and amazing. We saw raccoons across the street, and the hermit crabs come out at night. Be careful where you step! If you have younger kids, they would love seeing them. We also loved the short visit from the friendly husky that lives nearby. We spent time in the ocean at the house. The water was warm and we could walk out really far and it was still only waist high. Great for snorkeling! Overall, because of the house especially, we had a truly amazing experience in Akumal! Thank you for sharing your amazing house with us! We are looking forward to coming back! Travel tip if coming to Akumal-the gas station nearby has skimmers and stole our credit card numbers. They said mine was declined, so my sister used hers, which was also mysterious declined, then her finance used his, which was also “declined”. We had to deal with fraudulent charges and canceling our credit cards. This did not ruin the trip. If renting a car, have the car rental company replace the gas you used. Overall, this gorgeous house made our vacation one that we will never forget! Thank you Gina for everything!!!! Your house is truly spectacular and we felt like royalty staying there. This was the best house from VBRO we have ever stayed in!
