Private access to the stunning Yal-Ku Lagoon
Personal Chef option
Five min walk to a sandy beach

Casa Azul is an incredibly spacious Largest villa by sq. ft over 4,000 sq. ft) and charming villa located in Playa Akumal. You will have private access to the stunning Yal-Ku Lagoon right from your backyard. The lagoon is a nature preserve with beautiful, diverse marine life for your family and friends to explore, or you can chill beside the large pool. Our staff, Miguel and Legia, will welcome you with warm Mayan hospitality the moment you arrive at our magical, relaxing retreat. Miguel is available for chef services if you so desire.

Casa Azul in Akumal, Mexico, offers the following:

There are four bedrooms with three bathrooms and two master bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms; one of the master bedrooms is downstairs. The primary upstairs bedroom is connected to a private patio overlooking the pool and lagoon. Two of the downstairs bedrooms have a pair of twin beds and a loft area each. There is also a bedroom with a full-sized bed.

The house is set up wonderfully for a family or large groups. The grounds outside are great for entertainment, enjoying each other's company, or relaxing in a hammock. There is a wet bar and a blender in the palapa (thatch-roofed pavilion), which is excellent for Margaritas or smoothies! This space begs for a dinner party or special event. There are many outdoor areas to explore, including a patio with a fountain, a sandy beach area with chaises to sunbathe or meditate, and a grove of palms to re-energize and relax. Our favorite is the thatched umbrella and chaise lounges on the lagoon. There is also a swim ladder that provides easy access to the magical underwater world.

The kitchen has a six-burner professional Wolf stove and oven, a large refrigerator with icemaker and water (purified, of course), a dishwasher, and enough pots and pans, silverware, knives, storage containers, cooking tools, and appliances to open a restaurant!

Miguel and Legia are the caretakers who work extremely hard to ensure Casa Azul's cleanliness, sanitization, and functionality to give you the best vacation experience possible. Aside from chef services, Miguel is an excellent source of local information. Also, there are spa service providers, fishing charters, and Mayan tours at very reasonable rates—anything your heart desires.

There is plenty of room for parking in the private driveway, which is safe and secure. Customary gratuities for Miguel and Legia are 5% of your rental.

Thank you so much for your attention, and we will do all we can to help you and your loved ones create beautiful and happy memories during your five-star vacation.

Immaculate!
Our family thrives to snorkel everywhere we go, so have our own private entrance to the lagoon was icing on the cake. The house and property were very clean, well kept, and fully functional for our stay. Miguel and his wife are amazing cooks and took care of everything we needed while in town. We ate at two of the local restaurants in the same area and had great reviews for them too. The house is tucked away in a community that seemed more like Expatriate who own homes and the only touristy feel was the near by beach access and the house right next to this one with the tours. The tours didn’t disturb us and the lagoon was more clear before the tours started or after they ended. We saw a sea turtle, several sting rays, and plentiful species of fish in the lagooon! If you are a strong swimmer and experienced snorkler , venturing out past the lagoon is where coral thrives! We do not have one wish nor one “what if” to have made our experience better. We highly recommend this home, area, and our spring break was fantastic!

BETTER THAN EXPECTED
The property is a gem. The house is spacious, beds are comfortable, kitchen has all you need to prepare and serve meals. I knew that Miguel and Legia were grounds and house keepers, but I did not know that daily attention would be given to our needs. They took care of the property inconspicuously. The pool is large and crystal clear, great for pool games with our family. The outdoor patio is huge. It was our dining room, game area, and, with three comfortable hammocks, our relaxation space. The true gem of the property is the lagoon. Beautiful to look at if all you want to do is watch the fish from the laggoon-side palapa. And amazing if you are game to snorkel. It was a daily activity for us. Outfitters bring groups to snorkel in the lagoon, but you have it almost to yourself early in the morning and from about 4:00 in the afternoon. We were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary with our children and their children (ages 16-21). This house offers enough that there is no need to go elsewhere for site-seeing. If you are inclined, there are restaurants and shops within walking distance. Our property manager was available whenever we had questions before and during our stay. He even checked in with us at the beginning of the stay to be sure all was well. Unreserved recommendation.

Unique villa in ideal Riviera location
This was our 4th stay in Akumal & as always, the quaint seaside village did not disappoint us. Nor did Casa Azul Riviera. The house is spread out so that everyone has space. The grand palapa between the house & pool was where we spent most of our time. The access to Yal-ku lagoon is special so you can avoid the throngs of tourists snorkeling during peak time. Earlier morning or late afternoon snorkels allow you total privacy in Yal-ku. The kitchen is well stocked & Miguel & Legia are good property managers. They arranged last minute massage therapists to come to our house & the entire family enjoyed massages under the palapa. The house was built in the 70s but has been well cared for. A good value, a great stay!

New Year celebration
All 7 members of my family really enjoy our New Year week stay in Villa Casa Azul Riviera. Villa is beautifully decorated, very spacious. Beds are very comfortable. Villa has a very well-equipped kitchen, outside grill and large palapa adjacent to the house. Palapa is a great governing place. Just to enjoy it at night bring a mosquito repellent. We are in the jungles. House is very well protected from mosquitoes: screens are everywhere. Swimming pool is large and chairs around it are very comfortable. Lagoon is amazing: water is crystal clear and calm. You can see a lot of different species of fish already from the shore. We all have been snorkeling every day including my 4 years old grandson. There are many different kinds of birds on the trees surrounding lagoon. Fun to watch them! A rocky beach is 5 min away. We were going to the beach to see sunset and check out little creatures in the puddles of water, such as hermit crabs, see urchins, little fish. Our manager Miguel and his wife Legia are absolutely wonderful hosts. They keep the house and pool sparklingly clean, take care of our grocery’s orders, answer all our questions. They also are amazing cooks. They made a traditional Mexican dinner for us several times and everybody loved it. Communication with Miguel via whatsup was excellent and very efficient. Very lovely family! I also would like to thank Sherwin and Marina for the opportunity to have such a wonderful vacation in their Villa. Great place, great fun, strongly recommend to check it out!

Host profile image
Hello, everyone. I am Sherwin; I am based in " beachiful " (no, it is not a typo, I created this word ), East Boca Raton, Florida. I began my entrepreneurial skills when I was 12 years old in Jamaica; that was the last time my family bought any clothes or anything for me.
I have been in the tourism business since then.

I have owned and managed vacation rental properties in South Florida, Mexico, and Jamaica for almost ten years now. I know how important a vacation is for a family, and one of the greatest joys for me in this business is to know and see a family who has had such a great time that they do not want to go back home.
I promise that I will do all I can to make your family vacation one of the best. And if you look at my reviews on VRBO for this property ID ( vrbo 2313218 )that I own and others that I managed, as well as on other major travel sites, you will see that I am doing my very best to live up to that promise.
Please book with us. I cannot wait to provide exceptional vacation service to you and your loved ones.
Until then, have a magical life.
Thank you kindly.
Love Always,
Sherwin
Please note :
I am a manager of this property; I do not own it.
