paradise with bumps
Reviewed on 2024-06-27 by , Prescott, AZ United StatesBumps:
1) literally a 20 minute ride along a very bumpy, and due to rains we caught, flooded dirt road in order to get to casa Dena
2) the area is experiencing power outages. We experienced 4 outages during our 7 day stay. Each outage averaged 5 to 6 hours. The generator does not provide ample power to fully cool down refrigerator, much less the running of the air conditioning in the bedrooms. The power outages are NOT a new phenomenon. The guest book in the house had an entry dating back to May describing power outages.
In my opinion, these 2 issues should have been disclosed. It is unfair to leave Armando and Daisy to deal with upset clients. They are amazing, and a great reason to visit Casa Dena.
Daisy and Armando, on site care takers, were AMAZING! Home and grounds were spotless. Their cooking fabulous as was their attention to the care and welfare of the guests. The distribution of the home is excellent and the location is quiet even with all the construction around it. <br/>Bumps:<br/>1) literally a 20 minute ride along a very bumpy, and due to rains we caught, flooded dirt road in order to get to casa Dena<br/>2) the area is experiencing power outages.

Fantastic!
Reviewed on 2024-04-28 by David B. , Pittsburgh, PA USCasa Dena is as advertised and more. The setting is peacefully serene, the breeze from the sea is inviting, and best of all, the care taken by Daysi and Armando to ensure our satisfaction was top notch. We had a few minor issues that Armando took care of immediately, and they made a delicious meal to help us celebrate our niece’s 30th birthday. David Plancencia from the Akumal concierge was professional, responsive and gracious. Will not hesitate to stay here again!

Best of Times in Tulum
Reviewed on 2023-08-10 by , Upper Marlboro, MD USThe property was fantastic and exactly what I was looking for. I preferred the privacy of the neighborhood. The property was immaculate. The home had enough space for all of us to enjoy the wonders of the beach and sea. Staff was higher than 5 stars. D&A made the best food I had in Mexico. Bonus. I actually saw the turtle come up on the beach.

Everything we hoped for!
Reviewed on 2023-06-22 by Lamar B. , rosharon, TX USCasa Dena was everything we hoped for. The pictures do not do it justice. It was beautiful! All the bedrooms have a direct view of the water. Armando, Daysi and their daughter Ebony were awesome! They work tirelessly to keep the property clean and well- manicured. We will definitely be staying here again. We rented a vehicle, so we had no difficulty getting to and from the area. We loved that we were somewhat secluded. The restaurant and bar down the road were amazing and very welcoming. We left some clothes behind at the house and Akumal Properties made sure the clothes were returned to us. Such a wonderful place to stay and their service is impeccable!!

Better than expected!
Reviewed on 2023-06-01 by Jennifer G. , Marshall, VA USWe loved the area and the fact that you could walk to other restaurants and resorts to grab a drink yet the home was very private. Armundo and Daisey were excellent chefs and we felt as ease knowing they were right next door keeping an eye on things. The house was lovely and we would definitely stay here again. I only wish the other half of our guests who were supposed to come and stay here would have made it to the house.

Wonderful stay at Casa Dena
Reviewed on 2023-01-20 by John E. , Sandy, UT United StatesOverall a great stay and relaxing family vacation.
This rental was very comfortable for our group of six adults. The ocean views were wonderful and it was a very quiet, safe and scenic location. It is a bit off the road, but we had a rental car so had no problem getting to Tulum and Akumal. The caretakers, Armando and Daysi were wonderful. They kept the property very neat and clean and we highly recommend their chef services. We had three delicious authetic Mexican meals and it was well worth the price! We also enjoyed interacting with their friendly dog Lassie. <br/>Overall a great stay and relaxing family vacation.

Beautiful villa on the beach
Reviewed on 2023-01-13 by , Brookline, MA UnknownArmando and Daisy are amazing. They take wonderfully good care of the house and prepared us some delicious dinners. We loved Casa Dena and extended our stay an extra day because it was hard to leave!
We had a perfect holiday here over Christmas! The house is gorgeous and spacious - perfect for our two families (4 adults + 4 children). The children enjoyed the pool, the hammocks and the beach. We snorkeled and explored the rocks and tide pools. It was lovely to be in a quiet secluded spot but still close enough to Tulum and other areas. My husband was able to kitesurf from this spot too! <br/><br/>Armando and Daisy are amazing. They take wonderfully good care of the house and prepared us some delicious dinners.

The Perfect Getaway
Reviewed on 2022-12-14 by Dennis G. , MexicoWe thoroughly enjoyed our week stay at Casa Dena. The villa is beautiful and caretakers Armando and Daysi are special. It has everything that we needed... and less. Less noise, less crowds and less stress! But peace and quiet comes at a cost. While there are several restaurants nearby, Tulum is a drive away - especially at night. Better to take a taxi. Thanks for sharing your house!
Manager's Response
We love knowing that you found Casa Dena to be a beautiful and quiet villa with everything you needed. Armando and Daysi, will also be appreciate your kind words (we'll let them know). Do let us know when you're ready to return and we'll gladly help you re-start vacation countdown.
Great Family Vacation Location
Reviewed on 2022-01-24 by , Fishers, IN USHouse was beautiful and supplied everything you could want in a home away from home! Daisy & Armando were perfect care takers and live right on the property so are available for any need you have! They are also available to cook meals if you desire, we had them do that for only one dinner and wished we had done more! Beautiful sand beach but the ocean at this location is total coral reef, so swimming is possible, but further out due to shallow coral and rock and swim shoes are a must! The pool is on the front of the house and didn't have sun on it until mid afternoon, it isn't heated so a little too chilly for us but is is January so I'm sure it warms up nicely in Spring & Summer, although we had beautiful weather! Only reason we gave it a 4-star rating for location is that it was almost at the end of the road and was a bit of a drive to get to Casa Dena. Both the property manager and the concierge were fantastic, easy to work with and were most helpful in arranging everything from airport transport to expeditions to beach massages! Can't say enough good about this property and the experience our family enjoyed!!!
