Casa del Mar [1]
Lovely Home on the Ocean
Reviewed on 2024-09-27 by , Appleton, WI United StatesMy wife and I spent two lovely weeks at Casa Del Mar. This was our second time staying at this property and it will not be the last. This home is not luxurious but it is lovely, clean, and comfortable. The staff are wonderful and friendly. They took excellent care of us. There are several things we particularly like about this home. First, it is within easy walking distance ( 1/2 mile or less) to many excellent restaurants. We particularly liked Jungle Cafe and Imelda’s for breakfast and La Lunita for dinner. Secondly the location of the pool on the west side of the house away from the ocean is perfect. You can enjoy the morning sun on the east side patio facing the ocean then follow the sun to the pool side later in the day. The pool itself is well maintained, deep and long enough to swim short laps. Third, the view of the ocean is the highlight of this home. It is spectacular.

5th stay; great as always
Reviewed on 2023-09-06 by , Wauwatosa, WI United StatesOur first stay at Casa Del Mar was in 2014 with some friends. This time, it was us, our four young kids (infant to 5-year-old), and grandma - and there was still plenty of room for the whole gang. We’ve stayed all over Akumal the last ten years, including old and new condos along Half Moon Bay. None can quite provide the homey, beachy feeling like Casa Del Mar does. It’s close to both beaches, the west-facing pool is awesome, Mari and Roberto make you feel right at home... it’s just perfect. Most places in the area have east-facing pools that are shade-covered by late afternoon - but not here! The west-facing pool gets sun into the evening and without constant wind off the ocean. The “on-site” iguanas and hermit crabs were extra entertainment for the kids. With seven people, packing lightly would have been a struggle but Mari was able to do laundry several times during our stay, which was a lifesaver. We love CDM, and I’m sure we’ll be back. And, booking with Akumal Direct and Marcia is a breeze - this entire trip was organized in less than 48 hours, and everything was taken care of quickly and seamlessly.

Great Location - Safe and Clean House
Reviewed on 2022-08-17 by David T. , Houston, TX USThe house was exactly what we were looking for. In a gated neighborhood right along the water. Walking distance to good restaurants and the dive center. Everything in the house was well-maintained and clean. First rate management (we have stayed in properties managed by this group several times with great experiences every time). Nothing but good things to say about this house.

Perfect Family Christmas in Akumal
Reviewed on 2022-01-01 by Linda J. , United StatesWe stayed at Casa Del Mar. we were a group of five adults and two children. The house was comfortable and the pool was very enjoyable. This was our fifth trip to Akumal and the first time we rented a single home. We Highly recommend Casa Del Mar.
Beautiful home with great views
Reviewed on 2021-12-07 by Sue M. , Fairfax, VA United StatesOur favorite restaurant was the Tavena Akumal, which turns out to be part of a US chain, though has great, fresh shrimp. The main restaurant at Lo-Ha’s was closed, though the beach bar had excellent coconut shrimp.
Other than snorkeling, seeing rays, turtles, tropical fish, we recommend visiting Aktun Chen, a more natural wilder experience that the theme parks. Consider looking at the wish lists of Hekab Be and the Centro Ecologico Akumal, to see how we visitors can give back to this wonderful place.
Casa del Mar provides sunrise and sunset views, depending on whether you face the sea or the land. The interior and landscaping are impeccably maintained. The main-floor bedroom was perfect for one guest. We enjoyed the master suite with seaside balcony, while a friend said his bedroom with its own bathroom was fine, too. The bedrooms are air-conditioned; rest of house is not. The kitchen has everything necessary to fix meals—or not. We usually ate breakfast in the casa, dinner out (or leftovers in).

Live With the Rhythms of Nature Here
Reviewed on 2020-07-11 by , Candler, NC United StatesThe staff was extremely friendly, discreet, and efficient. They were a great help when the house’s ocean-facing windows and doors were no match for some pounding hurricane rains. Just keep your stuff off the floor nearby, but no worries otherwise—there are unlimited towels!
I would live here full time if I could.
This house is super comfortable, and in a prime location inside Akumal. The bed is comfortable, the WiFi is reliable, hot water, appliances, and furniture all perfectly in order. Pool is refreshing, sparklingly cleaned everything day, and a comfortable depth and size. The empty lot and set-back neighboring house on one side gives the property room to breathe and increases privacy. There is access to the ocean on calm days just a few steps from the back of the house and tons of tide pools and coral fossils to discover amongst the rocks. The moon and sun rise out of the ocean directly in back of the house and set into the jungle in the front. The roof is an ideal place from which to appreciate the celestial rhythms and sea breezes. Mosquitos can’t compete with the stiff wind and are mostly and thankfully absent. <br/>The staff was extremely friendly, discreet, and efficient.

Reviewed on 2009-03-01 by Dennis S. , Unionville, Indiana United StatesThis is our third time in Akumal. We stayed in Nicte Ha,the sister house next door, several years ago and couldn't wait to get back. Casa del Mar is a wonderful place. Just right for the 6 of us. Nicte Ha's rooms all face the ocean, but Casa del Mar more than took care of us. Having the pool on the street side has a bonus - no winds! We all had a terrofic time and will surely return.

We had a fabulous family vacation at Casa Del Mar in Akumal. the Villa is beautiful and well maintained. it is very convenient for a family with kids - we were 4 adults and 2 kids and had the perfect amount of space. the view from the back porch is stunning, and the pool is a huge advantage for entertaining active young children. the only draw back is that the beach is about 5 minutes walk away and not directly on the property. The house seats on a cliff, right on the ocean, but you can't really get into the water right there.<br/>The staff at Casa del Mar are friendly, professional and helpful.
