Our best vacation

Superchef Washington DC
Review Submitted: October 24, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Dear [name of owner],
I hope you are having a wonderful vacation. I am writing on behalf of my group of friends to let you know that we had an amazing time at your condo. It is beautiful and so well equipped. We loved it! If we go back we will definitely rent your condo again. Having rented two condos in Mi Casa del Mar I can tell you that we prefer yours 100%.
Once we download the pics I'll send you some for your website. There is so much to see in Akumal.
Our favorite was the turtle tour organized by the CEA (ceakumal for web search)
We saw turtles lay their eggs and the small turtles being born. I highly recommend that experience for everyone who visits your house.
The tours leave at 9pm each night from CEa downtown Akumal, they cost $10 a person. It is not recommended that a person tries to see the turtles on his/her own as turtles get scared by noise and light and the birth cycle may be ruined by humans very easily.
We also went snorkeling in the Cenote Dos Ojos, swimming with dolphins in Dolphin Encounter, snorkeling in Yalkul Lagoon, visited Chichen Itza, Tulum and Coba. Swam with the turtles on several occasions just on Akumal Bay (an amazing experience). We also went to the Sian Kan reserve, rented a boat at Punta Allen. We went for dinner in Playa del Carmen and enjoyed the pool every day.
For baby sitting my friends used the child center at the Akumal Caribe hotel a couple of times.
Gloria and Epi did a fabulous job!
We loved our stay. Let me know if you want more details and I'll be happy to give you a ring. We definitely hope to rent your place again soon.
Thanks. Best,
[name of renter]
Owner's Response: Thanks very much for taking the time to write. It is delightful to us when people like yourself write to us describing their wonderful vacations and it is fun for us to develop friendships with so many of our guests like you! And thanks for the kind words for our wonderful staff. Without them I can't imagine what we would do ! This is our second home and we really have appreciate the guests like who who care and respect our condo, treating it like their home. Akumal is indeed filled and surrounded by many things to do and it certainly sounds like you found them ! We have a number of guests who keep in touch and return to our condo every year or two and that really makes us feel great ! We try to help people in their plans and are responsive to any questions or problems. Btw We saw a Mom turtle dig and nest and lay her eggs at midnight under the full moon last year. It took her hours and it was an amazing, unforgettable experience. Thanks so very much. Hans S.

Our spring break

Sunscreen Users Minneapolis
Review Submitted: April 21, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2008
We had a great time at Mi Casa. The unit was well maintained and clean. It was very quiet and relaxing. This was our third time in Akumal with our teenaged son. This time my 77 year old mother accompanied us. This was a great unit for her. There are a some steps into the unit but it opens onto the patio and the pool, which she used every day. We also walked into town for lunch and along the beach. Mom's a trooper, but that was too long for her. We got a lot of looks as there aren't a lot seniors with canes about. She also tried snorkling in Ya Kul lagoon but maybe 77 is a little late for that.
Akumal is a great place for tweens and teens. It is safe and they can walk about and go eat on their own. For the older ones who are good swimmers, we felt it was safe for them to swim at Akumal beach as long as they stayed together.
The best food by far is at the Fish Cave (not the correct name) right in Akumal by the parking attendant booth. They also make the best Margaritas, but watch out, and hold on to Grandma. They sneek up on you! The loncheria by the store is wonderful, fun and cheap. We have eaten there many times and not been disappointed. For gourmet fish tacos and ice cream, follow the sign to the little shop across the street by the market area. Wonderful!

The guys went to Chichen Itza. They packed a lunch, left at 7AM, ate the lunch, did a 10 AM private tour (well worth the $60), ate again, stopped for groceries in Tulum, and were back in Akumal by 4 PM. They used the route through Tulum. Our stoic, hard to impress teen son even started several conversations about the excursion! This is major

We all had a great time at Mi Casa del Mar.!
Owner's Response: La Cueva del Pescador is Cave of the Fisherman - one of our favorites most definately. The mini-lobster is to die for ! They will even take you out deep sea fishing and cook your catch afterwards. The chef is a genious, as are many in these parts. Thanks very much for the fabulous review. Now you know why we took the dive and invested in this beautiful spot ! The highlight of my week is always to read from people like you who enjoyed our place. I have tons of information for everyone and will even help those who decide not to stay in our place but still want to go to Akumal ! If you liked Chizenitza you will also like Ek Balaam, which is very unique and about the same distance and Coba which is closer too. What a wonderful family experience going with you teen and your trooper of a mom !
