We also appreciated visits from Roger to make sure everything was well.We would not hesitate booking again and are looking forward to our next Akumal vacation. ##### Carole S.

The staff (Gaby and Christina) were there for everything and made fantastic dinners and breakfast. The spread out design allows for individual time and the beach/pool are perfect for groups. The snorkeling right off the beach is some of the best in the area. We will be back. ##### Charles B.

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: The house was incredible and had plenty of room for our families--plus lots of nooks to enjoy. The beach was beautiful and the snorkeling directly our from the house was amazing. You are a bit isolated and will need to drive to get places but liked being off the beaten path from the more touristy areas. The caretakers were so helpful and kind. Highly recommend! ##### Kirsten M. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Doralicia R. 19 Nov 2024 #### Beautiful Villa!!! Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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 recently stayed at a stunning beachfront villa in Akumal, Mexico, and it exceeded all expectations. The location was unbeatable, with direct access to a pristine, quiet beach and breathtaking ocean views. The villa was spacious, beautifully designed, and equipped with every modern comfort. The outdoor spaces, including the pool and lounging areas, were perfect for relaxing and soaking up the sun. The beach lounge chairs and bathroom towels are a bit weathered and could be replaced. Oh, and watch out for mosquitos. There are giant ones there. I hired a private chef outside of the Villa as Ericka (La Coqueta) was highly recommended by the locals for providing local, fresh, GF, and Mayan dishes. Her number is +. She made our stay all that extra special as she not only curated amazing breakfast and dinner dishes, she included daily mantras on a small board for us to remember why we were alive. Her staff was attentive and ensured our dietary needs were satisfied. Akumal’s charm and this villa’s luxury made this an unforgettable getaway. Highly recommend! ##### Doralicia R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Harvey Y. 9 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beach paradise This is an excellent rental in Akumal Sur. It easily accommodated my group of 12 people (with room to spare). I highly recommend it. On arrival, Gabi (house caretaker) had already purchased some starter supplies and made a delicious chicken fajita lunch on the next day. We only used Gabi and Cristina's cooking services on two occasions. Although their menu is limited, the food was well prepared. For our other meals, we either used Chef Daveed catering (which is consistently excellent) or ventured out into Tulum/Akumal. On arrival, the house was clean. The furniture was in good condition and beds comfortable. The pool--although not heated--was great. If there is a critique, it is that the house caretakers were not proactive in cleaning the interior of the house. When I've rented other houses in the area, the caretakers would refresh the house every day (dishes, empty bathroom trash, sweeping, replenishing towels). It took a few days into my rental for me to realize that I needed to ask for these services. Once I asked for these services, it happened (and they did a great job)...but I wish that I knew this info at the start of the rental (which is why I am sharing my experience).Overall, this is a terrific rental. There's direct water access in front of the house. The snorkeling in front of the house can be amazing (on sunny days). Bring water shoes. Enjoy! ##### Harvey Y.

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: Great house and location on the beach. The home and the pool were kept very clean and property caretakers were available to help out when we needed them. The community of homes has full time security and that was good to see, although the entire Akumal area felt safe and welcoming to all of us. We took advantage of grocery delivery on a near daily basis and also appreciated that there were small convenience stores (ie 7-11) nearby for basics beside what we ordered from the grocery delivery service. Several good restaurants within a short 5 minute drive for lunch was really convenient. We also requested massage services for several of us one day and took advantage of the casita for those sessions. Since we were celebrating our birthdays (x2) that week, we requested the chef prepared dinners several nights and lunch one afternoon, all served with high quality ingredients and outstanding culinary care by Chef David and his sous chef. Highly recommend them instead of going out to dinner as most local restaurants are very busy and not typically air conditioned. The beach and patio are of the house were the big winners for our family, as we spent most of the days under the shade trees on the beach and floating in the calm, clear turquoise water with several kayaks available. We plan to return to Akumal and will certainly consider this property again! ##### Darren C.

The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Gaby and Christia were nice but could have been friendlier. Their communication was lacking. Limited English and getting excess of groceries that we had to pay for. They did the minimum they could do, which was a very different experience than when we came a couple years ago to a different house in the area. We had to request or ask for something or it wasn't done. Pool towel were not folded or laundered after each day. Food was left out on the table after meals. They did change out trash and do dishes after meals. I did feel safe and no belongings were taken. The meals were delicious. They house and casita had a great location. Very comfortable to stay in with a group of 13\. The master bed could use a new mattress. Some of the linens were dirty. Water pressure was good. Overall it was a good week, but definitely could improve on the staff slide of things. ##### Jill T.

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: The house was beautiful and very clean. Roger, Gaby, and Christina took very good care of us and helped with anything needed from transportation services to laundry. The house was very well stocked with everything a rental should be. The kitchen had plenty of supplies for your whole group. No need to buy drinking water, the house comes stocked with it. On our way we stopped at Sam’s for supplies, wish we would have taken inventory at the house first, there were a few duplicates we bought that were already supplied (sugar, coffee, etc.). The beach was beautiful, the pool was clean and beautiful (little cold though), the roof top for sun rises and sunsets was amazing. All the AC’s worked great and cooled the house quick. The balcony dining table was plenty big enough for all 10 of our party. Honestly the grounds and house was perfect for our group with the exception of a couple small critiques. Things we wish were a little better but wasn’t a deal breaker. The kitchen cutlery was not so great. All random knives and most were dull. a simple $100 cutlery set would make a world of difference for guests who like to cook. The cooktop burners were intermittent. The large burners wouldn’t light and when they did, they wouldn’t stay on. This was troublesome as we hired a private chef for a birthday dinner and they struggled. The oven was cumbersome to figure out. We finally got it and wasn’t an issue after that but the chef had trouble. The outdoor shower didn’t work. Again not a big deal as we had a pool but would have been nice to shower in warm water after the ocean. Again these are very small critiques. I would 100% rent this property again and recommend it to my friends. Tips for future renters: Bring water shoes, the walk into the ocean is a little rocky but clears up as you get out. Bring mask and snorkel, the water is crystal clear and there’s beautiful coral 50’ out.

Plenty of room for all of us. There were 9 adults and 5 children. The hot water was off and on but we figured out that we just have to space out the showers a little bit more. The seaweed was not an issue. They cleaned it up every morning. There is an amazing reef not too far out and boats, paddle boards, and snorkeling stuff was provided . We got to see baby turtles right on the beach!! Although they have laundry service there is not a washer/dryer that is free to use. Highly recommend the chef! It was great food for a reasonable price. Also, the massage services are some of the best massages we all have ever experienced. Overall a great experience! ##### Chelsea J.

The hosts were kind and accommodating. We could have used a change over in towels and maybe bedding but overall we all were extremely happy with our trip and the accommodations. We did reserve the chef services and that was so convenient and nice. ##### Jennifer H.

The location was amazing! The home was fabulous and clean. Everyone that worked on the property was so nice, accommodating and curious. Gabby is a fabulous cook and we had our best meals upstairs on the patio with his culinary delights- what a cool menu he put together! All in all don’t even think about it and book the property you will be happy! ##### Tammy W.

Staff was warm and always helpful. We had a rental car but spent most of our time relaxing at home, which speaks to the ultra inviting and peaceful surroundings. Overall great experience. Will definitely repeat. ##### Pat B.

Our group (family) of 11 had a great time. We enjoyed several meals cooked by Gaby & Christina and had great service from Roger the manager. Our group ranged in age from 20-78\. There are three bedroom on the ground level, one bedroom on the second level (large master), and three in the casita. Air conditioning worked well. There was plenty of room for everyone. The first night I asked for a lighter (fire stick) to light some incense I had brought and there wasn't one in the house, but one appeared later that night. Gabi noticed the makeshift volleyball net we put up and a couple of days later a real net appeared (it was left under the stairs - where you will find a plethora of masks, snorkels, swim shoes, life jackets). Gabi also appeared with an electric pump when we were blowing up the giant beach ball we brought. The pool is shady in the afternoon so we were able to spend many hours in it without getting sunburn during some epic pool volleyball tournaments. The only disappointment was the sargassum (seaweed), but that was not a fault of the house and we knew about ahead of time (hence the incense). We were still able to kayak and paddleboard and had planned for Cenote swims and snorkeling at Yalku. ##### Amy V.

Reviewer Comments: Our Experience renting through Akumal Direct was excellent! Our house was perfect for our group and was well stocked and maintained by the service staff. David booked us the Santa Cruz Cenote Tour which was one of our best experiences ever with a very guide who gave us a beautiful description of the caves and cenote. ##### Susan V. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vincent B. 18 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best option for group stay in Mexico. We stayed at Casa Texana in November. Weather was great and private beach was perfect and probably the nicest beach in the area. Close to tourist activities (turtles, cenotes, Tulum, golf, ruins). Staff Gaby and Cristina are great and will prepare food for you if you want for a small fee per meal. Fee is per meal and not per person so it's good if you're a big group. You decide upon arrival which meals you want and what time. They will also get groceries and mix drinks. Perfect for groups of 6-10 people. This is a gated community with security on the beach. ##### Vincent B.

We got unlucky with the weather and the sargassum seaweed. But the property management was excellent and the staff did well. We enjoyed a few prepared meals that were delicious. They even arranged for a complimentary meal! They arranged for a shuttle to pick us up from the airport and for a rental car to be delivered to the house. It made things so easy! It was a wonderful week in Akumal! ##### Emily S.

The hosts, one being Gavi(sp) were amazing, along with the food and drinks they prepared for us two of the nights we were there, including check-in. The beds were comfortable. The home was clean when checking in and cleaned every day. We will definitely recommend to friends heading to Akumal.

Reviewer Comments: Casa Texana is a beautiful home in a wonderful location. The house was modern, well equipped and immaculate. The staff was efficient and accommodating. Communications with the rental management company was easy and open. We were a family of six, including two small grandchildren who enjoyed all the amenities, most especially the beautiful beach right outside the house. The pool was beautiful as well. Our thanks to the management and staff of Casa Texana! ##### Carl H. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2022 ---
