Villa Palmeras was amazing! The house is beautiful. We were so surprised to have Patty there making breakfast and cleaning for us. She even cleaned our disgusting teenagers rooms, even though we insisted that she didn’t have to!! She and Naery made a magical stay beyond compare. We only wish we had been there when some of the many turtle nests surround the property began to hatch. We will be back!

Stayed one week and couldn't have asked for a better trip. House was perfect. My family of four was able to spread out, enjoy the pool and cook meals. There's a nice beach about a 15 minute walk, but I would suggest driving. If you have lunch as Lo Ha, parking is free. I would definitely stay at this house again, it's way better than being at an overcrowded resort.

Thanks so much for taking the time to provide feedback about your stay at Villa Palmeras! It was lovely to host your group. Walking north of the house to Lol Ha Restaurant takes about 15 minutes or so on foot to reach services. The beach in front of the property is nice and sandy, however, water shoes are necessary when entering the water due to the close proximity of the coral reef.
We appreciate the kind words. Looking forward to seeing you back in Akumal again soon. Happy travels always, Akumal Direct

The house was just as the pictures showed! Absolutely perfect vacation. Kids had a blast and loved having the pool and the beach right there to look for shells. Took the kayaks out and water was crystal clear. Zero complaints and highly recommend this house if you’re looking for a relaxing vacation that’s away from the noise but close enough to everything you could want.

A group of six. We all loved our stay at the home. The home was perfect. We were thankful for the A/C in the bedrooms. The pool was perfect.
We wish we would have brought aqua socks as the beach was very rocky to enter. The maid and grounds keeper were fantastic.

We had a wonderful 10 days at Villa with our 3 kids and my parents and everyone absolutely loved it! The pool was the biggest hit for our 3 kids and we loved the grill in the back also.Pati & Neri were AMAZING, and made the whole stay even better- they felt like family members and we were so sad to leave them.We loved looking for turtles and walking along the beach.We took day trips to Chichen Itzá and Playa.Would definitely recommend a rental car to be able to explore the area and go shopping.The property is lush and private and exactly like the pictures. It had everything we needed and we are already planning a return trip next year.

Could not have been happier with everything from kitchen to bedroom suites, from garden setting and amazing views to the beach and turtles hatching on the beach. We learned so much about the turtle preservation and non-profit. The custodians of the home, Patty and Neri, were very helpful and our continental breakfast by Patty was great. We also had her cook a full breakfast for us. Everything could not have been more perfect and us 3 couples felt we’d hit the jackpot staying here and hope to come back.

Anything you asked for was done immediately. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes etc and all the condiments you need to prepare meals. 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!

We 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.

We strive to make our guests feel right at home by providing a clean, comfortable space and helpful staff. We are also so glad that you enjoyed the location of our house. We understand that the lack of A/C in the house can be an issue for some people, so we are glad that the individual units in the bedrooms were able to keep you cool at night. Thank you again for your kind words - we hope you come back soon!
Most amazing house and area. Pati and Neri are the best. Tons of animals life around the backyard and nesting turtles right outside the house beach area. Book this house you won't be disappointed!!! Only thing that could make this house better would be an upgraded fridge there was no way it could hold food for 7 people let alone keep it cold in that humid environment. Thankful for the cooler provided for our stay. Best vacation ever didn't wanna leave that perfect view. thanks for having us.

Our 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!

We were extremely disappointed in this property. It has NOT been well maintained with rusting fixtures, ill-fitted door and window screens, burnt out light bulbs, tons of bugs, lots of seaweed and a very rocky beach which makes it near impossible to snorkel. The only thing we liked was the very friendly, competent staff of Pati and Nery.

We're so happy to confirm that Villa Palmeras has just undergone a remodel in October 2021 and is now looking lovelier than ever :)
We're hoping you'll decide to return and experience a well maintained property. The beach has also been looking great since September without any seaweed as seen from our new photos.
Your feedback was greatly appreciated and we hope you'll return soon!
Happy travels :)

We 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.

Wow, Deborah! Thank you for such a detailed review about Villa Palmeras in Akumal. We look forward to your next visit, just send us an email and we'll help you find the place you most want with us!
This is a wonderful house for a big family of 10. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed. Kitchen essentials, beach and pool toys, towels, tanning oils, etc. The daily breakfast and room cleaning service was a welcome surprise, her and the groundskeeper were very friendly. We visited the Chichen Ruins, Cenote Santa Cruz, and The Monkey sanctuary. All were great fun, especially the caves (such a memorable experience). We rented two vehicles from the airport, which worked out perfectly. Jungle Fish right next door was our favorite restaurant. I would stick to the suggestions in the welcome book, it was hard to find a nice restaurant not in a resort. The house was clean, the only issue was a few ants but there was insect killer in the house. I would highly suggest to bring swim shoes (the beach is a little rocky) and LOTS of bug spray. Highly recommend!!!
