Our family of 15–ages 14 to 80–had a fabulous time at the Villa Turquesa. The home was perfect for a big family. It is well equipped, clean and comfortable. The staff is delightful and kept the place sparkling clean and in perfect working order. There is snorkel equipment and plenty of kayaks to make exploring the reef a pleasure.

The kitchen, table, and living room were spacious and accommodating. The morning sun and the beautiful sunrises were refreshing, including the splash in the pool. The cleaning crew was amazing, always smiling and flexible. We were so lucky to see three turtles laying eggs - unforgettable for sure! We hired a chef one night and were very, very happy with the food they prepared for us. All 16 of us had a great time. We will definitely come back. ##### Dusanka D.

Reviewer Comments: Really loved this large house (sleeps 20) in a secluded spot just South of Akumal. Beautiful views, clear water but a little rocky. Seaweed cleaned up most every day. Cleaning crew was Fantastic! Both refrigerators struggle to keep food and beverages cold as their is no AC in the main living area. All bedrooms except large Master stayed very cool! Had most needed amenities except spices and condiments. Beach was nice and the place is close to restaurants and a gas station. ##### Timothy R. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeremiah D. 23 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Absolutely amazing! Looking at those pictures thinking “Could it be that good?” Yes, it is absolutely is. House is in a small, gated community (felt very safe) on a picturesque white sand beach. In the water, it is rocky and difficult to walk, but shallow, protected cove is perfect for snorkeling and kayaking (available at house). We saw conch, rays, squid, beautiful fish. Immaculate house was perfect for our group of 15\. Each of 8 bedrooms has a bathroom (do not flush toilet paper) and air conditioning. Pool is clean and the perfect temperature. Kitchen has ample cooking supplies but not oil, spices, etc. Drinking water is supplied in 5-gal bottles. Running water is very hard. Bring moisturizing soap. Wonderful house staff come daily. Plan to tip them 2 each (or equiv. pesos), per person in the party, per day. We were delighted by their services. They will do laundry for 8 per load. Closest restaurant, Jungle Fish Beach Club, is 10 min walk on beach (excellent, reasonably priced, fantastic drinks; try the caipirinha and tamarindo mezcalita). 20 min more is the heart of the resorts, with restaurants, shops, and turtle snorkeling trips (well worth it). Akumal Concierge Services manages the property and books airport rides, private chefs, excursions. Safe, friendly drivers; wonderful food. Book van with driver for a day to see Tulum ruins, cenotes. If renting a car: parking is limited. Taxi service is in Akumal; public vans along the highway go to Akumal or Tulum for 50 pesos. ##### Jeremiah D.

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: We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Turquesa. The house is so open and airy, and right on the beach. The layout is well thought out. There are lots of fun extras like playing cards, books, dvds, yoga mats, and kayaks. We really enjoyed taking the snorkels out. You can see some cool fish and other sea life snorkeling right in front of the house. The lounge chairs by the pool were perfect for nighttime stargazing while listening to the waves. The kitchen is supplied with all the non-food items you could think of. There is even a highchair, which came in very handy for us. The internet is also great! We had no problems connecting and it’s fast enough for multiple people to stream movies at the same time if you want. The location is perfect! You can walk about 25 minutes along the beach to akumal restaurants, or about a 4 minute drive. Tulum is about a 20 minute drive. We cooked some meals at the house and went to akumal or tulum for others. The house is a short drive from many cenotes. The staff were great! They are so friendly and did a wonderful job keeping the house clean. The 24 hour security is nice plus. We had our baby with us and we always felt safe. I highly recommend this place!The only thought I have would be to switch out some of the bright white light bulbs for warmer ones for a more chill vibe in the evenings. ##### Stacey B.

The staff was very friendly, they cleaned the sargassum almost every day so it never got too bad in front of the house and we were still able to enjoy the beach. They provided kayaks and snorkeling gear as well which my family all used several times. The concierge was great with giving us advice on places to go as well as helping us with transportation.

Always smiling.3-Proximity to the restaurants and shops.4-Owner Claudia was nice and stopped by to introduce herself.Not so Good/Bad:1- We couldn't use the ocean at all because of sea grass, and it smelled very bad at times. If I knew in detail I would have not rented this house.2- There was no AC in the living room area (common area). This is the biggest complain all the family members had because we couldn't sit down in the common area to cheat chat. To us it was a big deal. House was spacious and had plenty of rooms. Pool was small but it is what it is. Overall, for us it wasn't a good fit. But it could be for other people. ##### Mohammad K.

Reviewer Comments: There were 13 of us on a family vacation. The house was perfect. Rooms were clean and comfortable. We were happy for the A/C as it was very hot. The pool was where everyone gathered. Maids cleaned daily so even with a full house it never felt over run. The house keeper was very responsive to our requests. Nesting turtles on the beach were an unexpected bonus! ##### Alice M.

Reviewer Comments: The house was just as describe and more so Much larger than expected and spotlessly clean, the house cleaners kept it that way. The pool was big enough that the 16 of us never felt crowded. David from Akumal direct handled everything for us from airport transportation to rental car to the best chef in the area. He is a gem of an employee. We had prefect weather other than the seaweed but there were plenty of spaces on the beach to enter the water. ##### Mark p.

Reviewer Comments: We thought we were finishing a perfect vacation when it got even more incredible the last night when we were able to experience a turtle hatching. So wonderful. The house was perfect. Claudia brought us an amazing dinner our first spite of some temporary power outage. Snorkeling was great. We had rainbows and gorgeous sunrises. The staff was incredible and we highly recommend Chef Daveed for a dining experience. Can’t wait to come back ##### Deborah H.

Guests ranged in age from 78-11\. There was something for everyone to do. The House looked exactly like the photos with the exception of one room but it was nothing g detrimental. The largest issue we had was the water turning off. This happened at least 2, maybe 3 times while we were there. There also were not enough towels considering the amount of people we had. However, I would definitely rent this space again ##### Kiwana F. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Dawn O. 26 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved it - except for one thing The house is lovely and the location is beautiful. There were 11 of us there and there was loads of room for everyone. Having everyone around the big table for dinner was great. There are beachside shops and restaurants about 30 minutes walk each way along the beach. I have to give a shout out to the rental agency who were fantastic. The only negative was the seagrass. It was piled high along the beach and stretched out about 20 metres from the shore. And the smell was horrific. There were a few days when we had to leave the villa because the stench was particularly bad. It's nothing that the owner or management team can fix. It's down to pollution, but best to be aware of it before you go. If there's any feedback I can give it's that the kitchen could do with a few common spices and new sun loungers are badly needed. ##### Dawn O.

Reviewer Comments: Our family of 10 did not complete our stay at Villa Turquesa. We requested a refund or alternate property after 2 nights for the following reasons:Everything was tired, especially the beddingNo one slept because of the poor quality mattressesMy granddaughter moved to three rooms trying to find a room that did not have bugs. She was covered with welts but no mosquitoes were found anywhere in the house. Mites?The property was listed as private but people were traveling between the houses day and night. We did not feel safe. None of us would return to this property or recommend it. If you would like pictures we would be happy to forward them. ##### Jennifer V. Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathryn K. 17 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Place to Stay! There were issues but most could not be helped. June is not a good time to visit Mexico....just too hot and there is no air conditioning in the main area. The seaweed? Well, no one can control nature. They tried their best to clean it up; it was hopeless. Some of our group made it out to reef for some good snorkeling. The pool was WONDERFUL for the kids! The staff was friendly and did their best to make our stay enjoyable. We have stayed in houses before and it would have been nice to have stocked the kitchen with basic spices and cooking needs. We had to buy EVERYTHING and, of course, didn't use it up. Cookware was very adequate for our needs for 14 people. The toaster oven was hard to figure out....a toaster would be nice. Bedrooms and bathrooms were wonderful! The supply of snorkeling gear was more than I expected and the beach towels were a wonderful bonus! All in all I would recommend this house for a stay in south Akumal. There are plenty of restaurants if you like to eat out and the grocery stores weren't too far away. You can do Coba, Chitzen Itza, several cenaotes and relax around the house. I'm not sure this was the best choice for snorkeling because the reef was quite far out and only accessible to strong swimmers. ##### Kathryn K. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2019 ---
