This is our second visit to Akumal. We knew this would be the perfect place to bring our daughter and 4 yr old grandson. Akumal and Casa Caribe fit us perfecto! Very nice casa! So close to everything! Our grandson loved to go to La Buena vida and the adults loved the 5 to 7 happy hour. Christina and Luis made our stay very comfortable! Things were always taken care of in a timely manner.
We all attended Mass on Sat in the Pueblo an Christina was there with her two sons. She is so proud of them!
Thank you all!

Three friends travelled to Mexico. We arrived in Cancun in February, went to Merida for a week, then back to Cancun to pick up a rental car. Easyway Car Rental - it really was! THEN: heaven! We drove (easy drive) to Akumal, stopping at a large grocery story right on the highway in Puerta Aventuras to stock up. Following the directions provided with the rental packet, we easily found Casa Caribe. The pictures do not do it justice - the place is drop-dead gorgeous. We spent 10 nights there, one of us walking 12 minutes to Akumal Bay each morning for an early snorkel, accompanied on some days by one of the other two, when they did not go for early morning yoga sessions. Then the casual breakfast and morning lounge on the sandy area in front of the house. Or an excursion to Tulum...or just driving around looking at the ex-pat community in Chemuyil (sp?)...or looking for take-out chicken in the pueblo. But a lot of our time was spent at the Casa. The pool was perfect for cool-off dips in the afternoons and before bed. We never used the AC - the ocean breezes kept the house a perfect temperature. Chrisitna and her husband cooked dinner one night and we ate the amazing leftovers for 2 days! Christina also did laundry for us (we tipped her extra). Rhett - what a great manager. He was available to answer all of our questions and he never steered us wrong. He gave us the name of the greatest masseuse who came over twice for massages on the upstairs, ocean-facing roof deck. Talk about relaxing! He told us where to buy groceries, what to eat, the best times for popular places (like Tulum). He was like a living, breathing travel manual! Luis kept the place spotless and the drinking water bottle replaced. Silently. He was like this incredible ghost who just made the pool clean and the windows see-through and shrubbery trimmed. But if we needed him (like when we wanted to know where to rinse off snorkel equipment) - poof - he was there, huge smile on his face. The house itself is huge, with a large refrigerator and all the pots and pans and cookware to make dining in easy and convenient. Each bedroom has an attached bathroom which was very nice. The upstairs master is amazing, with a big soaking tub and a gorgeous deck. I slept up there (a reward for making all the travel plans) but we all shared the great amenities of the upstairs. The television area was comfy for watching the few movies we watched. The wi-fi worked well. We will definitely return to Casa Caribe.

We had such a great time! The house was wonderful - clean - perfect!! The sand, the sun, even the afternoon rain - it was all so perfect! Thank you for sharing your home with our family. It was a blessing - truly amazing!

I wish I could express how in just one week I have come to love this place. Amazing beaches, incredible drinks and food, Lucy's fish tacos and homemade ice cream. Everything has been absolutely incredible. The Akumal Dive Center is the only place to go for snorkeling and scuba. The nicest people, more than accomodating. And Christina and Luis are absolute dolls, so sweet and always smiling. I can't wait to come back and I hope that you enjoy your stay here as much as I did.

It's only day 2 of our stay in Akumal and we already want to move here. Christina and Luis are wonderful! Definitely recommend La Cueva del Pascador. Make time for Cenotes. They are unreal. Our favorite was the cliff diving cenote by Coba. A full hour of jumping off a 45 foot ledge left us a little sore, but the experience was worth it. Absouletly recommend the Akumal Dive Cener. Has the most amazing family vibe. They truly went out of their way and gave amazing recommendations.

What a wonderful vacation! We spent most of our time in Akumal - lots of good food and drinks, walks on the beach and rocks, snorkeling and most importantly, lots of relaxation. We found ourselves camped on the porch with good books on most of our days here! Our favorite hidden gem of a restaurant was Turtle Bay Bakery. Chrisina's home cooked meals are delicious! Not to be missed! Thank you for the fabulous headquarters for our honeymoon! Already looking forward to coming back soon.

Our first visit to Akumal was wonderful. What a great Mexican village. We will definitely be returning. Highlights of the week included a trip to Yalku Lagoon. Perfect first time snorkeling for our six year old. (Although, due to rainy weather, visibility was a bit low). La Buena Vida was a great restaurant, hammocks especially. Casa Caribe fit our family perfectly. Christina was wonderful and prepared two delicious meals for us. we loved our stay at Casa Caribe and cannot wait to return!

Thank You!

What a wonderful world! Thoroughly enjoyed our time at Casa Caribe. Had breakfast and most lunches at house and suppers at Mexican restaurants. Spent a day at Xel Ha and had fun. Must do the river float on tubes, recommend fins. Outstanding value for $80, all food and drinks, and admission. Snorkeling in Akumal BY best around. Took ferry to Cozumel for 1 day and enjoyed bartering and local restaurants. Lines and guacamoles a must and good price. Took time to sit around pool in evening and enjoy the stars. Beautiful weather, 27c to 34c degrees. Boys took fishing trip out of Puerto Adventurus, big boat, nice trip no fish caught. Better off going with someone from local bay so you can bring home supper for the ladies. First day got groceries at Walmart for week. Best value. Akumal Bay our best snorkeling. Keep eye out for resident iguanas that visit the yard. Christina prepared #2, very good, lovely lady. We would like to thank you for sharing your great home with us. We appreciate it greatly. Rented two cars for the week. Jettas from Hertz, air a must. Keep ice made, it's handy for the blender!

Thank you!
