Villa Palmeras [1]
A week in paradise!
Reviewed on 2025-03-17 by , Toronto, ON CanadaOur multi generational family had a wonderful experience at Villa Palmeras and can’t wait to go again!<br/><br/>The house was in very good condition and well maintained by friendly staff. Anything you asked for was done immediately. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes etc and all the condiments you need to prepare meals. <br/><br/>The restaurant next door is very good and convenient and we also enjoyed the restaurants in Akumal Beach. Make sure to go snorkeling in the bay and see the sea turtles - a highlight of the trip!<br/><br/>

Great Location!
Reviewed on 2025-01-08 by Sharon O. , Littleton, CO USHouse was clean and nicely appointed. First floor bedroom had a problem with tiny ants, but we bought spray and kept them at bay. Pool is not heated, which was something I will pay more attention to for future rentals as we normally enjoy night swimming. I highly recommend Chef Elias! We had his food most nights, and it was delicious! Paty and Neri are great, and I'm not exaggerating to say Paty just brightened everyone's day with her smile. Activities: Monkey Sanctuary - eh. $70 USD you hold one monkey and it is basically a very small zoo. Make sure you snorkel with the turtles in the bay! Go to Ya-Ku!! Also unlike other houses I've rented, no basics or welcome for when you first get there. Stop at the store before you get to the property!

Et le resto Jungle Fish (voisin) est vraiment bon! des fruits de mer délicieux et abondants!
Tout est pensé! Ce sont des vacances de famille inoubliables. Nous étions 6 adultes et 2 enfants. Les 4 chambres ont des vues sur la mer. Paty fait un ménage incroyable à tous les jours. Je suis allée faire mon yoga 3 fois en joggant sur la plage vers ''l'action''. nous avons vu des tortues et des raies dans la baie. <br/>Nous avons même déjà recéduler pour l'année prochaine.

Great location and wonderful support
Reviewed on 2024-12-03 by Kim J. , Chino, CA United StatesEvery morning we walked out to the beach just steps in front of our new home. Every afternoon we either kayaked, walked a few yards to the quiet soft sandy crescent where the toddlers could play, or walked to Jungle Fish Reataurant (next door). Every night we fell asleep to the roar of the waves.
Our dinners most nights were restaurant quality prepared by the chef. We had a few leftovers as snacks the next day. Patty made our simple coffee, toast, and fruit in the mornings. She also took care of cleaning and making beds and monitoring the trash. There was also a third person, Nert, who took care of the yard, replaced water bottles, and was generally very helpful.
Sand toys and some snorkel equipment was on site. We lacked for nothing.
We could not think of anything to improve. Every detail was well considered.

On peut faire du snorkeling à 15 minutes à pieds en longeant la plage vers le centre d’akumal. Paty qui s’occupe de la maison est adorable. Nous avons adoré notre séjour entre amis

Epic Vacation!
Reviewed on 2024-09-01 by Amy G. , Holladay, UT United StatesOur family of 9 adults and 1 toddler had an incredible trip! Everything about our experience was top notch. The location, the service, the beach, the amenities were all amazing. We even got to witness baby turtles hatch and make their way to the ocean. We loved feeling secluded and away from the crowds and yet so close to beautiful cenotes, the Tulum ruins and the fun town of Akumal. Plus a yummy restaurant (and a chef that came to our house to cook one night) just steps away for whenever we wanted to grab some quick food. The rooms each had their own air conditioning unit which was so wonderful. Clean towels and water replenished every day. Patti took such good care of us we all wanted her to come home with us. Great communication any time we had questions or needs. Thank you for a terrific getaway!

Amazing House with ocean 10 steps from the backyard!
Reviewed on 2024-08-01 by Hilda P. , The Woodlands, TX USI absolutely loved our stay. There are basically 4 master bedrooms and a rooftop with an amazing view of the ocean and star gazing at night. There is also turtle nesting two feet from the backyard. The best part was having Paty who came and cleaned daily and Neri who does maintenance. They were so friendly, kind and shared a lot of helpful information for our stay and where to go.

Ready to go back!
Reviewed on 2024-07-02 by James H. , Littleton, CO United StatesOur family really enjoyed our stay at Villa Palmeras. We were looking for an alternative to a resort and this worked very well for our family of 6 (2 parents, 2 kids, and 2 grandparents). We spent most of each day in the pool overlooking the beach and ate dinner next door at Jungle Fish Beach Club (it's literally next door) - the food was great! Our trip was in early June, so we knew it would be hot, but the air-conditioned bedrooms were perfect for napping or sleeping at night. I would recommend renting a car as the walk into Akumal is farther than it seems on a map, and also for any grocery shopping or dining out. Paty and Neri went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed before they left each day. Neri cleared out the sargassum the first day and the direction of the winds kept it from building back up again. Paty made us breakfast each day and kept the house spotless. We also enjoyed visiting with them and learning more about the area and their families. It was so much more personal than a resort. We definitely plan to go back for another visit!

Great Property and Service
Reviewed on 2024-05-28 by Craig C. , DENVER, CO United StatesWe had an incredible stay at Villa Palmeras. If you are considering staying there, don’t hesitate. The house is amazing and perfect for families and multiple couples. Each room has its own bathroom and air conditioning. Having the pool just steps from the back porch and next to the beach was great. Patty was amazing with making breakfast each day as well as keeping the place spotless, and Brian being there keeping the grounds in great shape and clean. I can't say enough good things about this place. Also, I worked with David in guest support ahead of time to set up a chef service for when we arrived. When we arrived, the chef was there making some amazing tacos and all of the sides for us. Thank you again for a great experience all of the hospitality. We will definitely be back! Book this place!

Wow! Too many great things to list.
Reviewed on 2024-04-22 by Krista M. , Davis, CA United StatesOur two families (4 adults, 5 kids) had an amazing stay at Villa Palmeras. There are so many great things about this house. The location is quiet and private while still being close enough to activities. House staff Paty and Neri are delightful and helpful. The house's location directly on the beach with a pool is unbeatable. The beachfront restaurant just on the other side of the green space was a wonderful surprise. En suite bathrooms for each room are a huge plus. We can't imagine a better place to stay for our annual vacation and are seriously considering a return!

Reviewed on 2023-08-29 by Genevieve B. , Greenfield Park, QC CAWe loved our stay. The house is perfect and perfectly maintained. There was absolutely nothing missing from the stay. The house is just spacious enough, the bedrooms are air-conditioned and the swimming pool is perfect. The presence of Patty and Neri made a big difference to our stay, they are there daily to take care of the house. We suggest renting a car to get around, buy food etc.

Paradise in Akumal
Reviewed on 2023-07-04 by Daniela D. , Van Nuys, CA USWe enjoyed a wonderful family reunion at this gorgeous place. The house was clean, the staff very nice and helpful and made us feel super comfortable and right at home. We loved the location right at the beach, short walk to Akumal Bay for snorkeling with turtles, short drive to Tulum for shopping. Just be aware that the house itself does not have A/C, so it was a bit warm in June. The bedrooms each have an individual unit, so we slept well.

You found it!
Reviewed on 2023-04-10 by Melissa W. , MexicoYour exhaustive search for the perfect beachfront house can stop :) Wow!! The pictures and descriptions are accurate. The way this place FEELS cannot be communicated by photos though. From the first day, I felt as if I were home. We traveled with our 4 children, 4-14. Each of them had a uniquely perfect trip. (Note, the house easily offer 1 bed/bath too many for our family size.) The younger kids loved the pool, the middle kids loved the kayaks and the older children loved the off-shore snorkeling. I should note, we selected this place not for a perfectly groomed white sand beach, but because we knew we could discover creatures in tide pools, snorkel the beautiful reef in our backyard and build a closer connection to nature. Not only were not disappointed, but we were plesently surprised by the beautiful beach. Additionally, this house is close to everything we wanted to do that wasn't beachfront. We dove cenotes, spent a 1/2 day in Coba, dove near Puerto Adventuras (boat dive,) and connected with friends in Puerto Morelos. Having a car made quick trips and gathering groceries very easy. As noted in other review, pack your water shoes, and enjoy everything this beachfront house has to offer!

Paty & Nery made the experience memorable. They are so kind and helpful. Nery made sure the property was in tip top shape, helped us navigate the local community and made us feel at home. Paty kept the everything clean and organized. She made delicious breakfasts (pancakes to die for) and authentic Mexican dinners to savor....and her flan is out of this world! The best part was practicing our Spanish with them both and getting to know them like family. The days were spent lounging by the pool and sauntering the beach for a little exercise. Most relaxing and refreshing experience. Thank you to the rental team for all your info and communication. We will be back!

Beautiful location, well-equipped home
Reviewed on 2022-06-20 by Deborah B. , Fort Collins, CO United StatesWe stayed at this property for a week in June. The home was lovely, very well maintained and exactly as pictured. Grounds and pool are tended to every day by Neri, and each morning, Paty came to provide housekeeping service and make us breakfast. It's next door to a very good beach restaurant, a 15 minute walk along the beach to Akumal Village, and a short drive to the Village. Kayaks were super fun, and the pool and covered patio were a great way to end the day after ATV adventures, Coba, snorkeling, Yal-ku, etc. Concierge promptly answers questions and can provide information on activities.
