Description

A Nice Villa with the Best Onsite Hosts in Akumal

You can find many beautiful villas in Akumal, but no one will make your stay more enjoyable than at Casa Dos Palmas. And it is not because of the expansive size of the property, its design or the elevated views of the Caribbean. Amazingly enough, people who have stayed at Casa Dos Palmas can’t wait to come back because of its pleasant staff!

Eunice and Hugo – two on-site hosts, have a way of making you feel cared for without being intrusive or overwhelming. But the best part is Eunice’s cooking! Just be warned – if you try it once you might not want to holiday anywhere else. Which is just fine, because Casa Dos Palmas has a myriad of fun and relaxing activities to offer you.

Savor the View of the Caribbean From This Property

This ocean front villa is set on an elevated point along the coastline of North Akumal, giving you the opportunity to enjoy the expansive view of the Caribbean. The house was designed so that the living room and 3 out of the 4 bedrooms face the ocean and one opens up onto the Yucatan jungle, glorious sunsets, and the pool.

The rooftop deck is another ‘strategic’ stop to admire the panoramic scenery and take amazing pictures of the tropical sunrise.

All the Space and Comfort You Need

Casa Dos Palmas is a well cared for two-story villa that boasts 4½ comfortable bedrooms and 4 ½ bathrooms.

On the ground floor, you will find an open-concept living room facing the beach, a fully-equipped kitchen, and a lovely dining area with seating for 8 people, and two cozy bedrooms (one with a queen-size bed and one with 2 double beds). Both of the bedrooms come with en-suite bathrooms, built-in sofas for seating and glass sliders that lead to the beach patio.

The second floor of Casa Dos Palmes features a cozy family room, and two bedrooms (one with a queen-size bed and one with 2 double beds) with en-suite bathrooms and private balconies to enjoy the view.

Connect With Your Friends Back Home – Stay Plugged-in

At Casa Dos Palmas you have all the current technology to stay connected with the rest of the world. There is SKY TV, DVD player, stereo and wi-fi, which makes social media connections or chatting with friends an easy task.

Pamper yourself with a sweet siesta by the pool. The outdoor blue-tiled swimming pool and its built-in Jacuzzi and shaded sun-deck are always a hit among guests of Casa Dos Palmas. It is a perfect place to claim your siesta-time or enjoy your morning coffee and welcome the new day.

Take Advantage of the Prime Location

Even with its secure, tranquil and serene location, Casa dos Palmas is only five minutes away from the sandy stretch of Akumal beach, famous for snorkeling, scuba diving spots, and interesting gift shops.  While you are here check out the local Mexican art, try a delicious cocktail in one of the beach bars or book a tour to the Mayan Ruins to learn more about the history and culture of Mexico.

To experience authentic Mexican hospitality and laid-back Caribbean lifestyle make sure that you stay at Casa Dos Palmas! All you have to do is claim this fantastic villa by adding this property to your inquiry list at the bottom of this page.

Casa Dos Palmas is a wonderful place to stay! This was our second visit. The house is spacious and located right on the ocean. It has everything you need and two terrific Caretakers, Hugo and Eunice. They are so gracious and cooked absolutely delicious meals for us. It was a perfect place to stay for a vacation!

In an ideal location, walking distance to restaurants and markets. Good layout for multi-family with 4 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. Good pre-vacation communication. Photos of the property are very accurate to what we experienced. Drinking water dispenser and vases by every bathroom sink. The wifi worked well for 5 adults/4 teenagers. Hugo & Eunice were kind, kept the home clean and provided generous fruit breakfasts and coffee. Home had very basic amenities.

Delighters: wildlife (crabs, iguanas, geckos and coati), blowhole on property, delicious dinner by Hugo, ample space to park cars/golf carts

Issues: the AC is only in 4 bedrooms, common area & 5th room were uncomfortably hot, stone floors require shoes at all times, ants & flying bugs got into food, pool was spa-like temp.

This house was just what we needed. 3 siblings and one wife. Everyone had an oceanfront view and bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked. The nearly- daily fruit offering was very welcome and delicious. We had Hugo and Eunice prepare a very delicious dinner one night, fish and pork, and everything was magnificent. Be sure to order Eunice's lime pie. Couldn't have been happier and are eager to return!

We had a fantastic stay at Casa Dos Palmas! Very comfortable house with full amenities, picturesque view and convenient pool (great for kids).

What made our visit so special was the hospitality from the caretakers - Hugo, Eunice and their family. They were so helpful in navigating Akumal as well as providing housekeeping daily including tidying up and making fresh coffee and fruit. We hired Hugo to cook us dinner one night which was delicious as well as a unique treat for us to try homemade, local specialties. Thank you Hugo and Eunice!

My disappointment comes due to the built up expectations given by other reviewers. People raved about the chips with guacamole and salsa - these never showed up for us, even though we asked for them more than once. The cut fruit and coffee in the morning only appeared when we contacted the manager/owner of the property. I was planning to have the hosts cook for us, but after our request for chips and salsa was not honored - I opted not to trust that this would get done. The property itself is fantastic - it worked great for our family. We rented a golf cart which made getting around a breeze. My advice: if you plan to rent this villa - lower your expectations on the personal service you will receive and all will be well. Akumal has changed a lot since our last stay - we will not be returning - prices have gotten out of control - price gouging of tourists. Maybe it was because it was over the New Year's holiday - but there are plenty of other places to go in the Yukitan and Caribbean - so we will be seeking a new location.

Nice spacious house with excellent friendly and helpful staff who live in a small house in the drive. Loads of space and a nice garden. You can walk to a beach to the north or access Akumal beach without paying by walking round the rocks to the south. Shops and restaurants are within easy walking distance

We loved staying at Casa Dos Palmas. Our extended family loved the house. grounds and pool. It's close to restaurants and had everything we needed. Esther and Rigo were very attentive and helpful. Esther did not feel well so we were disappointed to miss her cooking.
Our only problem was the ants in the first floor master bedroom. We would expect ants in the kitchen, but not in the bedroom and on the bed. Rigo tried his best to help, but one person could not sleep on the side of the bed toward the closet. Other wise the house was very clean and well cared for.
We would recommend a solution of borax, sugar and water. Borax was not to be found in any store or pharmacy. It can be ordered on amazon. Rigo checked and we searched, but no luck. It's our fool proof solution at home. The manager who stopped by once was dismissive and just said it's the tropics, there are bugs. As far as I know, she made no attempt to help.
We would love to stay there again, but would bring our own ant solution. Future renters should be warned. We have not experienced this during our last 7 stays in Akumal over the years.
Thank you!

Perfect. The property is clean, quiet, comfortable, and convenient. The house is in a quiet neighborhood. walking distance to a number of great restaurants. Close driving distance to Playa del Carman and Tulum. We had great communications with the property manager and the caretakers were there to help with every need. We will be back!

What can I say? We wouldn't keep coming back if this weren't one of our favorite houses in Akumal. You can't beat the price, location and fantastic staff (thank you Esther and Rigo.) The Sargassum grass is a bummer but you're going to find that all over the Maya Riviera right now.

If I had to pick one advantage Casa Dos Palmas has over some of the other houses in North Akumal is the pool being in front and partially shaded. This gives you the chance to move around throughout the day and either avoid the wind or the sun given what's going on in the moment.

If you're on the fence about going with Casa Dos Palmas or another house I strongly recommend choosing Casa Dos Palmas. You won't be disappointed.

Casa Dos Palmas is an incredible house! Peaceful, quiet beautiful! Wonderfully maintained. Ester and Frigo are sweet bank kind. They made us a delicious meal and cut fresh fruit for us in the morning. Would love to go in the Fall when it is a little cooler.
This house was a wonderful escape from the rest of the world! Crazy 2020!!

My family absolutely loved Akumal and Casa Dos Palmas!! The home was even more beautiful than in pictures and absolutely immaculate. Ester and Rigo were SUCH a luxury to have on site - fresh squeezed juice and coffee in the mornings, pool maintenance, fresh drinking water in each bathroom to use to brush our teeth - they took care of everything! Our only regret was that we waited until the end of the week to have Ester cook!! The area was so quaint and safe, and we LOVED La Buena Vida restaurant and bar only a short walk away. We are all frequent travellers and have been to and stayed in some amazing places, but Dos Palmas and Akumal is now one of our favorites! 5 STARS all the way around!!

We had a wonderful vacation and would recommend Casa Dos Palmas to anyone. We have been to Akumal many times but this was the first time with our three adult children and their spouses. It was also the first time staying in a villa and we may be spoiled for future trips.
Esther and Rigo were so nice, they took very good care of us, the fresh orange juice in the morning and salsa and chips in the afternoon is really a nice touch.
We will always remember this special vacation.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Dos Palmas. It's a beautiful home, and the caretakers, Esther and Rigo, were so friendly and helpful. If you go, be sure and have them cook an authentic Yucatan meal for you!

We need to send 2 CDs back. What was our address? All 8 of us (6 were 20-30 somethings) had our best of the last 7 years of vacations here. House, staff, location, price, bar with a swing, condition of all rooms was tops. The views and 3rd floor lookout was perfect for cigar smokers. Beautiful experience and we would go there again. Thank you.

The house was in a great location for walking to town, shops, restaurants, etc. Views are quite stunning. Not as great if using the water matters to your party-- windy and sharp rocky shore. Only our most experienced and fearless snorkeler was willing to brave the water on this stretch, eve on the calmest day.

Maintenance on house was absolutely perfect. Pool was kept sparkeling as was every inch of the house. The wireless connection and DVD and SKY TV all worked perfectly -- not common in some places we've stayed in Akumal.

Kitchen was less equipped than other similar houses - perfectly fine if you don't plan on cooking a lot or are mostly making blender drinks for a larger party. A few new tools to replace the broken or missing items would bring it to 100%. The dishwasher was nice but really didn't matter because Esther was so very on top of things :).

Esther and Rigo were the very best onsite hosts we have ever had (8 trips). Warm, helpful, terrifically interested in making our family feel welcome. We even got to sample one of their holiday Tamales. We would stay at this house again just for the opportunity to have Esther and Rigo adding their care and magic to the trip.
