Casa Playa Azul - Private Beach Villa, Cooking Services, Internet, Pool, Phone

My fiance and I stayed at Casa Playa Azul Mar/Apr 2011. It was such an amazing week! I couldn't say enough positive things. The Tulum area is wonderful for water activity, we loved the Cenotes- they are a MUST- and it was so cool to have one just a couple houses down the street! And we loved kayaking out into the ocean right from our door step and snorkeling along the amazing reef right off the shores of the home. The home itself was so comfortable and relaxing, it is better than the pictures. Sitting on the upstairs deck under the stars at night was wonderful. The home is kept impeccably clean and the caretakers are helpful and kind people. We have traveled to a lot of places and we don't usually make a habit of going to the same place twice but we have already discussed many times how we can't wait to return to Tankah Shores. Hoping to do it again in 2012 with our new baby! There are lovely restaurants nearby if you desire to eat out, we loved Akumal- the Turtle Bakery is amazing. Tulum has a amazing choices as well. There is also a restaurant just a couple houses down on the ocean called Casa Cenote that is great for breakfast, lunch and dinner casual dining. We also visited the local bed and breakfast called Blue Sky right down the road (walking distance) for a nice dinner. Most of our meals we ate at home though because once you are at this house you really never want to leave. We just made sure to wash our fresh fruits and veggies with Microdyn which is safe and easy. And just a side note on the weather. The week we were there was a rather windy week which can be common on the ocean. Another of the MANY wonderful aspects of this home is that it is in a protected cove type of area. Even though it was a windy week we were able to swim and sit on the beach everyday in complete comfort and when we went for a drive into the Tulum beach we were surprised to find no one on the beach with much more wind and very large ocean swells. Tankah Shores is an amazing place that we consider ourselves lucky to have found and we can't wait to go back.

This was not my first visit to Tankah Shores and Casa Playa Azul. This amazing beach/ beach home and the entire Tulum area has been my favorite place to get away since my first visit 8 years ago. Playa Azul is very comfortable with everything you might need right at your fingertips. The beach is beautiful and very private. We spent many hours each day simply taking in the sun and cooling down in the private pool just steps from the patio door. Edith and her nephew Wueslin took great care of us and the few meals we had cooked for us were outstanding! (I highly reccomend the Chile Rellenos!). Telum is very nice little town with some very good restaurants and great hospitality. We spent a few hours almost every evening at Don Cafetes sidewalk cafe eating, drinking and listening to live music from the house Tio who were all a lot of fun. I can go on and on about Casa Playa Azul and tha amazing times I have had there. If you have not experienced it..you should! Thankyou to Judy and her house staff for making my rare and much needed vacations a vacation in paradise! Eric Schwartz, Sequim, Washington
