Holiday rentals with a kayak in Puerto Aventuras

My family had a great time staying at Casa Aurora. Communication with our host was easy and Gerardo and Selene took excellent care of us during our stay, preparing breakfast from food we purchased, as well as local dishes upon request (after providing us with detailed shopping lists), and keeping everything on the beautiful property tidy. The house is beautifully decorated and comfortable. We enjoyed swimming in the pool, snorkeling in the lagoon right in front of the house, and relaxing a lot. We loved the sound of the waves crashing and view of the sea and sunrise (3 of the 4 bedrooms, the kitchen, living room and terraces face the water). We ate at great local restaurants, saw Mayan ruins, swam in cenotes and explored the lovely Riviera Maya. We would happily stay at Casa Aurora in Akumal again!

Patricio was a wonderful host and very responsive. The area was perfect, as you are a minute's walk from the beach. The construction was not very disturbing; in the downstairs rooms, there is more noise. The surrounding area has tons of restaurants and shopping, and you are a ten-minute walk from town. The neighborhood felt safe, and the house had everything we needed for an enjoyable week-long stay!

We had a magical week at Adolfo’s place with our family of 5 adults and 2 kids. The location is spectacular and the kids loved being able to play on the beach and jump in the pool. Early risers will love the sunrise view from the beach. The location itself is an amazing jumping off point to enjoy Akumal (great taco spots in town!), Tulum, and local cenotes and eco parks. We were a bit anxious about not having AC in the main living area but the breeze was beautiful and it allowed us to really embrace indoor/outdoor living. The caretaking staff are wonderful and very helpful - they helped us arrange for massages at the house and kept the property meticulously clean. We also took advantage of Chef Carlos’s services and are so happy we did. The house itself is very comfortable. Showing its age in places but we appreciated it being un-fussy - especially with young kids. The kitchen is well-appointed with dishes but you’ll need to bring your own basic cooking supplies.

We had a wonderful week at Mataray Tulum. The place is beautiful and peaceful and having the private beach made all the difference. But importantly, the staff were incredible. So accommodating and friendly, and always offering advice on where to go for dinner or excursions. There was never a tie that we didn't feel taken care of. The accommodation was amazing. The beds were amazingly comfortable, and my husband and son had great fun in the evening playing pool upstairs. The balance of having your own accommodation, but being connected to a hotel if you want food or drinks was a great combo! We will definitely come for another visit.

Much better than the photos. They were super responsive. Pool was great. We'll heated. Beach was a dream. The housekeeping and property care performed by Chino and Anita was the best. The maintained everything and cleaned daily keeping the place spotless without being obtrusive. Chino maintained the pool and beach area. The sand was raked daily. The only improvement I can recommend is better water pressure at the showers. BTW, the listing says 5 bed/5 bath. It is 6.5 baths. The master has two full baths.

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION ! This place was a few steps away from one of the most beautiful beaches in the world and the best part was that it was lonely ! Juan Luis was very attentive and such a great host ! Only negative comment was that there was hardly ever any hot water. But other than that, it was great !!

Claudia’s villa was the perfect place for our family of 11 (8 adults and 3 kids) to gather for a week long reunion. We enjoyed the pool, beach, kayaks, snorkeling equipment, puzzles, and toys for the kids. Spacious and clean, we had plenty of privacy. The cleaning staff came over to clean daily. We tipped the suggested $4 per person per day for the cleaning staff. We also had Maria the chef over 5 nights for dinner and we would recommend her services. Claudia also went above and beyond for us: A child in the group got sick and we were worried about needing access to a prescription medication we didn’t have with us. When I asked for Claudias recommendation, she was very responsive. She told us she has a doctor on call who can help with the Rx, and Claudia went to the pharmacy to get it for us! Our whole group left this vacation wanting to stay longer. We had a week of ultimate relaxation in paradise and can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful stay, could not be a more perfect spot to snorkel right off the beach. Great for nature lovers — a quiet, restful spot; two restaurants within walking distance, very nice responsive staff help you get set up with transport and tours. Would come back again!
