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 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 their 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 oceanfront 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 4 out of the 5 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 5 comfortable bedrooms and 4 ½ bathrooms.

On the ground floor, you will find an open-concept living room facing the ocean, a fully-equipped kitchen, a lovely dining area with seating for 8 people, and two cozy bedrooms (one with a king-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 oceanfront patio.

The second floor of Casa Dos Palmes offers a cozy TV room with a balcony overlooking the pool. This space includes two single beds that can be converted into a king bed upon request. It shares a bathroom with a nearby bedroom, which features two double beds and a private oceanfront balcony.

Additionally, the second floor boasts a spacious room with a king-size bed, an en-suite bathroom, and a private balcony—perfect for enjoying the stunning views.

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 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 a 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.

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!

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

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.

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.

Esther and Rigo are the very best!!!!

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.
