At Home at Casa Nicte Ha
Reviewed on 2025-03-31 by Diana A. , Silt, CO United StatesThree female friends from high school met for Spring Break and to celebrate the first if our three 62nd birthdays. It was easy to walk both north and south to explore the nearby areas, access the beach, lagoon, shopping and restaurants. On-site security and maintenance kept us feeling safe and well taken care of.

Fabulous house right on the water!
Reviewed on 2023-03-22 by Gil G. , Anchorage, AK USThis is an amazing house with a beautiful pool and views of the water from three balconies and a tower with a 360 degree view. Saw Agouti’s and Iguanas in addition to sunrises and sunset. Air conditioning for night and all open doors and windows for daily sea breeze. Mari keeps the house spotless and Jose the grounds keeper even polished our car windows! He cut open fresh coconut for us as well!! Awesome restaurants within walking distance along the cute brick road.

Amazing!!
Reviewed on 2023-03-10 by Sara S. , Espanola, ON CAWe had an amazing time! The house is well stocked, walkable to everything and phenomenal having the pool on the ocean side of the home. The privacy we had will make us return to this home everytime we come back to Akumal. Having the daily cleaning service and the groundskeeper on site made it feel like your own resort.
Lovely Stay!
Reviewed on 2022-11-22 by Sharon S. , Victoria, BC CanadaThis was our second time in Akumal and we loved our stay at Nicte-Ha. The location was great: oceanfront, private, yet still close to town & within walking distance of restaurants. The staff was amazing: Angel the property manager was very responsive & helpful, Mari did a wonderful job cleaning & Jose kept the pool & outdoor area pristine & comfortable. We will definitely return!

Fantastic Vacation at NicteHa
Reviewed on 2022-06-20 by Florencia D. , Menlo Park, CA United StatesThe only minor suggestion we'd have is to add some blinds or dark curtain options to the upstairs bedrooms, as in the early summer days, the sun comes in through the shite curtains and wakes you up at 7am (besides making those rooms quite hot, and needing heavier use of the AC). The view is absolutely stunning, but adding some blinds or dark shades to the windows might help keep them cooler and darker in the early morning.
Thanks to the Akumal Direct Team and house maintenance staff for helping make our stay at Nicte Ha so great! We'd love to come back and would definitely recommend it!
We had a fantastic stay at Nicte Ha last week. We had two families: 4 adults and 3 teenagers, and had plenty of room to have our much needed space. The house was super comfortable and just like the description and photos show. Impeccably clean, with everything that you might need. Maria, Jose and Santos (overnight security) were wonderful; Santos is Jose's brother, and a wealth of information on the area. The location of the house is super convenient for walking around Akumal (5 minute walk to beaches, dive shop, turtles, great restaurants & souvenir shops) and a short drive in either direction to Playa del Carmen or Tulum. Nearby natural lagoon Yal-ku had fantastic snorkeling, also within walking distance. We had the best ceviche we've ever had at a local taqueria in town, across Route 307 (the non-touristy part of town), called "Chucky's". The place is always busy with locals, who take out buckets of fresh ceviche every day. Their tacos were really good as well, especially the carnitas. The guacamole at LolHa in Akumal Bay beach was also really good; also at LolHa we had the absolute best drink we had all week: fresh pineapple daiquiri. We will need to try it at home. Finally, we loved the ambiance at La Buena Vida in Half Moon bay (also within a 5 minute walk), and their whole fried fish was excellent. <br/><br/>The only minor suggestion we'd have is to add some blinds or dark curtain options to the upstairs bedrooms, as in the early summer days, the sun comes in through the shite curtains and wakes you up at 7am (besides making those rooms quite hot, and needing heavier use of the AC).

Reviewed on 2022-03-08 by , Jamaica Plain, MA United StatesLoved the house. Perfect for 6 of us. Each bedroom had its own bathroom.Nice to have daily maid service as there is no dishwasher. Lots or privacy because houses next to us were vacant. The pool was lovely but a bit cold.Gorgeous views!
What a beautiful house!
Reviewed on 2022-02-28 by , Stilwell, KS United StatesWe have rented many homes throughout our travels and this one has the best pool ever! It is beautiful and so well cared for.
The kitchen was a little small, but still functional and everything worked just fine.
We love leaving the windows/doors open and listening to the waves, especially at night. The screens did a great job of keeping moisture out of the house.
Only thing that would be helpful is to add something to the patio outside the dining room door to make that tile less slick. It gets very slippery when it is damp (which is most of the time from the ocean spray). We were careful and had no issues.
We would 100% rent this home again if we returned to the Akumal area.

Quiet, private and relaxing lol
Reviewed on 2022-02-01 by , Traverse City, MI United StatesGreat house, lots of space for all your family. The little details were attended to, such as drinking water jugs in the bathrooms, kitchen well stocked including some basics. There were even some masks, snorkels and water toys. We would definitely stay there again. The layout of the house is a bit unusual but it was excellent for private spaces for all. I especially liked doing yoga daily on the crow’s nest patio. Great views of both ocean and jungle. Sweet!

Reviewed on 2021-05-17 by Cheryl R. , Gladstone, MO United StatesWe just returned from a wonderful, relaxing stay at Villa Nicte Ha and it was all that we expected and more! Home was well kept, and staff was great! TV had Netflix for evenings at home. Kitchen was small, but it had everything we needed - the rest of the house was laid out so that there were great, large community spaces, as well as private spaces for reading, etc. This large house is well spaced for everyone's privacy if they want it. We would definitely consider another stay here!<br/>

Reviewed on 2009-02-15 by Peggy M. , Bethesda, MD United Statesthis was my fifth stay at nicte ha in akumal. it gets better every year. can't wait to come next year. I go to sleep at night thinking of the surf pounding on the shore and the moon lighting a path along the ocean.

Home in Paradise
Reviewed on 2008-05-23 by Patti S. , Edmonds, WA United StatesI've been to Akumal many times, but this was my first stay at Nicta-Ha. My family came from all over the US and we rented both Nicta-Ha and Casa Del Mar - it was a perfect arrangement. We were close, yet separate. The location is walking distance to town/beaches/restaurants so everyone could get around and we didn't need multiple cars. The villa was large and gave us together space and alone space. It was nicely furnished and well cared for. I liked the backyard with the gorgeous pool overlooking the rocky coast and Ocean - made for quiet sunbathing and interesting excursions over the rocks.

The Best Stay Ever in Mexico
Reviewed on 2008-04-26 by Bob O. , White Fish Bay, WI United StatesWe were a family of 5, Mom and Dad and Two teenage girls and one 12 year old girl. Words do not express what a wonderful time we had at Nicte Ha. The house is absolutely incredible, clean, comfortable and very roomy. The staff could not have been better. We enjoyed the pool and the short walk to the beach. Went snorkeling with the turtles, absolutely amazing. THe people in Akumal are wonderful!!! I have already recommended the area to many folks and the home. We wish we were there right now. There are so many other things to do within short driving distances, such as Tulum area, Coba ruins, Hiddenworlds (cenote snorkeling).We did it all....we also drove to Merida and Chichen Itza. Nicte Ha is so relaxing and just a wonderful vacation spot. I must say that it was probably our best vacation ever. The O'Brien'sBob, Annette, Caitlin, Colleen and Debbie. Gracias! Gracias!
Papaya girl
Reviewed on 2008-04-12 by Stephanie R. , Roscommon, MI United StatesOur trip to Akumal was one of our best vacations ever and returning to this house every day was a return to paradise. Being able to sit under the palapa and enjoy the tropical breezes while watching the surf roll in was my favorite part of our week. The description is accurate and the house only improves when you get see it for yourself. Loved the artistic touches and simplicity of design. Staff was excellent, hard working, accomodating and the delicious Yucatan meal prepared by the cook was wonderful. Our bedroom air-conditioner was not functioning and the crew was in before the end of the day with a new one. The property owner, provided quick responses to any of our e-mail questions while on the trip (bringing a laptop is the best way to communicate with the wireless connection available on site). Loved snorkeling in Akumal Bay, Yal-Ku Lagoon, Muyil Adventure tour with Pastor through Sian Ka'an Community Tours, Aktun Chen Cave, Tulum Ruins, town and beach, evening shopping and dinner at Yaxche in Playa del Carmen. Enjoyed the short 8-minute walk to Akumal or Half Moon Bay. Turtle Bay Cafe in Akumal was consistently delicious for every meal. Sam's Club and the Supermarket in Playa del Carmen were great for groceries -- terrific fresh fruits and veggies at the supermarket there (watermelon and papaya were the best!). El Pueblito in Akumal has the best deal on ATM withdrawls.If you must go into Cancun, watch your driving, we were stopped by the Polizia almost immediately on arrival.
This is our second visit to Villa Nicte Ha. The property looks directly on the ocean and the panoramic views and sounds of pounding surf from the master bedroom, living room and pool deck are magnificent. The property is archtecturally unusual and was designed by someone the I.M. Pei school to maximize light and air while preserving privacy. The pool and deck are large and right on the ocean offering a unique setting. The property is kept in excellent condition through daily maid service and the efforts of the property groundskeeper. Mari, the housekeeper, made us an excellent dinner on our last night in Akumal. The property is a short drive or walk from central Akumal where we enjoyed snorkelling in the Bay (giant sea turtles, large spotted stingray, several smaller stingrays, boxfish, an enormous barracuda, some coral mounts and numerous reef fish just a few feet off the beach) as well as casual meals at Turtle Bay (highly recommended for breakfast, lunch or dinner). Just down the road is the Yal Kul lagoon. Snorkelling there feels like snorkelling in a giant aquarium full of colorful reef fish. Not far from Akumal are other interesting beaches (Tankah and Tulum), the Mayan ruins at Tulum and Coba, a number of interesting cenotes, and the fascinating Sian Kaan Biosphere Park. Highly recommended.
