Casa Caribbean Soul is a beautiful, immaculate, comfortable vacation home. Everything from the towels to the furniture, the artwork,even the windows is first class. If you can appreciate quiet, natural, semi-secluded beauty you will love it. Snorkeling and ocean swimming is outstanding right out front in the bay.
Jadee, the owner, was very helpful to us in our preparation for the trip and was very responsive to our inquiries.
The sandy beach in front is raked clean and flat daily by the wonderful caretaker Marcos, who is very friendly and helpful and ever-vigilant in his care for the guests. His wife, Leydi, is an excellent cook and will prepare your meals for a reasonable fee, which we HIGHLY recommend. Take Marcos into town to buy lobster tails and let them cook them up...they will blow your mind!!!
Inside, the casa is tastefully decorated and is extremely comfortable. Each bedroom has a luxurious bath with lovely granite countertops and spacious walk-in showers. Forget about lowering your expectations since it is Mexico...this place is NICE in anyone's book.
We have looked at most of the nearby bays in Soliman and Akumal, but we prefer Tankah, since there are no boats or jetskis disturbing the peace, and there are no mega-resorts clogging the beaches. It is just a peaceful place with a laid-back slow pace. If you want discos, don't go here...but if you want peace and relaxation, this is the ticket.
The archeological sites of Tulum and Coba are nearby. Both are worth the trip. If you want restaurants, there are a couple of good ones just on the bay, and several more in town, but we preferred to cook at home, or let the housekeepers cook for us...
Anyway, this is our second trip to Tankah, and this house really made a great vacation even better.
