    Outside, the garden-side pool offers a private place to cool off, while the oceanfront terraces and rooftop give your group several different spaces to relax and enjoy the tropical surroundings.

Spacious family retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a great 5-bedroom house with plenty of space for four adults and four kids (and room to spare). The location was about halfway walking distance between Lol-Ha and La Buena Vida so very convenient. While centrally located, the property is tucked back and surrounded by greenery, making it also secluded. The onsite caretakers were very welcoming, and offered up freshly prepared fruit and coffee some mornings. Plenty of onsite wildlife to entertain the kids. Pool was a good size with some deeper and shallow areas.

Better than home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was my family's 3rd year at Casa dos Palmas-beautiful location, home, amenities. But the sole reason we continue to return are the 'caretakers' who take care of us, keep the place spotless and create fabulous meals.BUT WE LOST POWER on 2 days -4 hrs and next day 7 hours-not in town either.Unless there is a transformer for the house, we might not come again.

Best service from locogringo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stayed in Casa Dos Palmas. Was perfect for our family group. The house had everything we needed. Rooms and bathrooms for everyone. A fully equipped kitchen and plenty of seating inside and outside. It was very windy during our visit so the pool at the back of the house was perfect. Service from David the Locogringo concierge was prompt even on a Sunday. He organised a boat tour and rental cars for us making everything we wanted to do so easy. I suggest stopping for groceries on your way to Akumal because the local shops and restaurants are very expensive.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is absolutely stunning. It is spacious and could easily accomodate 4 couples and children. We enjoyed the roof top in the mornings. The staff were there each morning to make coffee and set out fresh fruit. They were so friendly and amazing. The hosts really thought of everything. The location is perfect! No there isn't a beach, but it is a short walk to either bay for that. Lots of creatures too. Coatis, iguanas and agoutis. The sunrises were awesome as well.I have booked multiple times with Akumal Direct and will continue to do so. This house was impressive!

Beautiful home Great location. Incredible staff

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I walked into a beautiful home with the dining set up for a wonderful dinner. Hugo and Henry immediately went out and started bringing our luggage in. After the luggage was done they sat us down and served us an incredible dinner. My wife has Alzheimer’s and meals are sometimes a challenge but Henry stood behind her filling her plate and cutting her chicken. Hugo’s cooking was exceptional and Eunice was there to clean everything up. The stairs were a little tough for my wife with limited mobility but Henry was always there to help her out. We were spending the day in Cozumel for my birthday so I asked Hugo to make some tamales for us. When we arrived back at the house Hugo was there with the delicious tamales and the dining room was decorated for my birthday There were 9 of us in the house and everyone was comfortable. The house was beautiful the view from my bedroom was incredible We were 9 happy people for 9 days and nobody wanted to go home We all agreed that we will go back there again I read a review that they would go back just for Hugo’s cooking and I have to agree with that

Excellent rental for a family

We were eight adults and three children under four years old. This stunning property gave every couple a bedroom facing the ocean with their own bathroom. The whole rental was thought out well with fans, air conditioning, beach towels, etc. there is no beach in front of the unit but we knew that going in. The pool at the back was the hit for the children and adults. Temperatures were a constant 30 average. I can’t say enough about the caretakers Hugo and Eunice. Their dedication and care were heartfelt. They cut up fruit and set the table every morning and tidied up the bedrooms and living area every day. Little did we know that HUGO is a chef so we hired him for many meals. We started asking him to surprise us with Mexican meals and he did not fail. He surpassed all expectations and provided restaurant quality meals.We gave it a four star because the VRBO furniture is looking a little old, like the kitchen table, appliances. The VRBO contact form letter was excellent to advise on things, but when I tried to reach the people they listed i I didn’t get a response back. I ended up speaking with the concierge David, who was excellent, the Vrbo team and HUGO and got all my needs met. I would highly recommend this rental. Thank you again HUGO and Eunice for making our stay so memorable.

Good location, walking distance to a beach, stores, restaurants, etc. Staff was not around much and did not prepare meals as previously agreed upon, so that was kind of a bummer but the house is nice.

Amazing!

Love staying at Casa Dos Palmas! I’m very tempted to write a bad review so other people don’t rent it! Esther and Rigo are like family and their cooking is authentic Mayan/Mexican and exceptional. Great house for six or eight people.

Warm and welcoming!

This felt more like HOME than a vacation rental. Our group of 8 women loved our week there and took full advantage of the cooking services of the loving caretakers, Rigo and Esther. Rooms, beds, and ALL facilities VERY comfortable. Walked to the lagoon for snorkeling on our last day and we're sorry we hadn't tried it sooner...fantastic! We were a bit overwhelmed by the crowds and commercialism of the tourist areAs south of Cancun, but Akumal was a peaceful paradise.

Casa Dos Palmas

Just returned home from a week at Akumal. Had a great week at the house. There were 8 of us and the house was perfect for is. Esther and Rico were on site daily to take care of the house and us. We had Esther cook dinner at the house and it was great. It’s a winner all around.

Wonderful

All pictures are accurate. Great location, walk to everything. We did rent a golf cart for a couple days but found it not necessary. A small bobble on the first night which was taken care of immediately, excellent customer service. Caretakers on site are wonderful and provided great insight on the area. Would definitely stay again. Thank you for making our vacation so wonderful.

Perfect Family Trip

This was exactly the place we were looking for. Beautiful, relaxing, clean, and safe. Easy communications with the manager. AMAZING onsite caretaker. Walking distance to great restaurants, swimming, SCUBA, and shops. Walking distance to a general store, but only a 20 minute drive to a full grocery store. This is a great choice for people looking for more of a "neighborhood" than a resort. And did I mention the view? We spent every morning on the patio watching the sunrise with the breeze blowing in from the Gulf. We had a great time and would definitely return.

Perfecto!

Great place for friends and/or family! Plenty of room to spread out for our group of 6 friends. Rooftop was a nice gathering spot for sunsets, oceanfront yard/patio perfect for sunning during the day and stargazing at night. Esther and Rigo were pleasant and accommodating, cooked us a fantastic 3-course dinner- We highly recommend taking advantage of this optional service. Be prepared to sleep on extremely firm mattresses which are set atop built in concrete platforms in most of the bedrooms. Otherwise, a perfect place to make your vacation memories!
