Map & Owner's Profile
Vacations, Reunions, Weddings: Luxury Villas and Townhouses
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Akumal
We had been visiting Yal Ku Lagoon for almost 15 years and always loved staying in Akumal, especially directly on the lagoon. We traveled extensively and found ourselves saying, "this is nice, but it isn't Akumal", or "it isn't Yal Ku". So when we found a villa for sale directly on the lagoon, we could not pass it up.
After restoring Casa Delfin, we were relaxing in the rooftop pool at night wondering what we were going to do next. We both looked over at Casa Romero which was in terrible shape. Two weeks later we had an agreement to purchase it and renovations began only a few months later.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa
If you have ever been to Akumal, you know it maintains the laid-back atmosphere that has gone from so many places. We have the feeling of belonging to a community. In addition to the magnificent snorkeling in Yal Ku, one of the things that we like the best is that Akumal is enjoyed by Mexicans as well as tourists.
We have gotten to know the many local restaurants and enjoy eating out as being able to cook our own food and entertain friends and family.

WOW! This was our fourth time visiting Akumal, and we may be forever by these properties. We loved being at the end of the quiet road. We loved having our own private free access to the lagoon. There is nothing like snorkeling at 8:00am and being all by yourself before the tour buses arrive. The facility itself was outstanding in every way. Nicely decorated, great conveniences, and perfect host to a relaxing vacation. We absolutely WILL be back!!!!

My husband, daughter, her friend and I spent a glorious week at Blue Tang and had an absolutely perfect and relaxing vacation. The property was very clean, well maintained, and unlike other vacation homes we have rented in the area, has all the amenities listed in excellent working order. The photos do not really do the property justice as it is even more spacious and welcoming than the photos depict. Having the Yal Ku Lagoon literally footsteps from your door make this a real hidden gem. The snorkeling is simply fantastic and we were fortunate enough to swim with turtles and even spot a massive spotted eagle ray! The rooftop pool offers a great respite with a nice view and calming tropical breeze. The staff genuinely care that everything is as perfect as can be for the guests and do a really great job to ensure your comfort. We made use of the bicycles, grill and all the well stocked kitchen items to prepare our breakfast, lunches and a few dinners. The restaurants in the area are well priced, convenient and serve a variety of options and we found the service very good. If you are looking for a totally relaxing vacation away from the usual crowded resorts this is definitely the spot for you. We had total privacy in a beautiful location with all the comforts of home. Needless to say we are already planning a return trip in late fall and after being home less than a week, I have 5 couples lined up for a group trip in 2010! The only thing that could have improved our stay is if we booked for 2 weeks rather than 1. Thank you David and Nancy for sharing your home away from home with us!

[BLUE TANG] Everything you could want in a tropical getaway! We arrived around 8 in the evening to find our host David waiting to help us unload our bags and groceries. Once we unpacked he escorted us up to Que Onda for the first of many fabulous meals at Akumal's very good and very reasonable restaurants. (Turtle Bay for tuna!) We also really enjoyed our special dinner prepared by Rene The next morning we could truly appreciate the little slice of heaven that would be our home for the next week. Yal Ku lagoon is that unbelievable colour of turquoise and teaming with tropical fish and turtles. We felt very fortunate to have it to ourselves for snorkeling in the mornings before the tours started to arrive. We rented a golf cart to get back and forth to Akumal for shopping and meals in the evenings - what fun! All in all we would highly recommend staying with David and Nancy at any of their lovely townhouses or villas - they were always ready to provide anything we could possible need without being intrusive. We will definitely return and will stay for much longer...thank-you, David and Nancy, for sharing this paradise!

French Angel was all the website said it would be and more! We were well taken care of by the staff and David's info before we went really came in handy. The town is lovely, the diving source David gave us was great and reasonable. Very good restaurants were within walking distance of the villa with several right on the beach. The snorkeling in the lagoon that is right outside the door is the best in the area. Be sure to look for the info binder in the villa. We didn't see it at first and it answered most of our questions. Also the guestbook has lots of great hints about activities and warns about the jelly fish! Really a fantastic find and we plan on returning with more family and friends!

Hello all.... This was our second stay with David and Nancy Poor. We have stayed before in 2007 in Casa Delfin as we had a larger group travelling. The new townhomes French Angels are absolutely gorgeous and you cannot beat the location on YALKU Lagoon. There is none better..... We have booked many of the Villas in the surrounding area in years past and while they are also very lovely, we will continue to choose David and Nancy's places as they are all well placed on YALKU Lagoon and the remodels are beautiful. Thank you so much for a lovely time and if anyone wants to know....there is no place better than AKUMAL. It is truly the Garden Spot of the World and my favorite vacations of all time....as it was for the 35 or so friends and family that I have brought down to Akumal during the last 5 years.

[FRENCH ANGEL] The four of us really enjoyed our time here. Being right on the lagoon was magical, particularly in the early mornings and after 5, when the light is long and the fish active and not hiding from the many mid-day snorklers. The adjacent homes were not occupied while we were there. We ended up using the very nice roof-top pool only rarely, as the lagoon was so very inviting and easy to visit. The lagoon is a fantastic amenity, combining the tranquility of a freshwater lake and the brilliant fish diversity of a coral reef! The layout of French Angel A is excellent, with a very good flow, light and views. The staff were almost invisible but yet kept things tidy and functioning. We developed a routine of alternating days visiting the various ruins and being on the southern beaches around Tulum, often ending up at Akumal beach for an hour around 5 when it was quiet before heading back to the apartment. Town of Tulum is a great center for lunches, fresh fish at the pescaderia, and points west (to Coba for example) or east to the biosphere reserve, the ruins and beaches. We began discussing our return visit before we left, and find that the immediate setting and location are really superb for a family or group of friends. The owners are very friendly and helpful in pointing us to various resources. Highly recommended!

We stayed at the Conjuncto Romero the last week in December for our wedding. We rented the Romero, French Angel B, Blue Tang A & B, and the Casita. It was beyond wonderful. The home and condos were nicely appointed, clean, well cared for and lovely. The setting was magnificent! It was wonderful having access to the Yal-Ku Lagoon from our back yard! The lagoon can get very busy - and we found the best times to go were early morning or just before sunset. The best visibility is to the left toward the back. We had our wedding in the grass outside the French Angel by the Lagoon and the reception was held in the courtyard. It was magical! The compound is perfect for large groups to stay together but also have privacy. We loved the uniqueness of the Romero with all of the stone and spiral wooden staircase. The views are incredible, from the Master suite and the rooftop lookout you can see the Lagoon as well as the ocean. All of the rooftop pools had amazing views - each different and special. We had 8 staying in the Romero and it was large enough to accommodate all of us and we could very easily find space for alone time as well. The pool area is a great gathering place. It was so nice to have wireless internet and the free calls to home! What a nice treat! Although I never watched tv - the kids enjoyed having the nice flat screen and cable. The staff was wonderful. They did a fantastic job and took care of every request. They would quietly come and clean and you would barely know they were there! This was our 4th year in Akumal - we absolutely love it. It was our first time at the Romero and we will be back for sure!

[FRENCH ANGEL] What a wonderful place! Being right on the lagoon was so peaceful and beautiful. We enjoyed having the flexibility of a kitchen but the food at the restaurants we tried was so good (tacos at the Luncheria, Pasta at Que Onda, and ice cream at Lucy's) that we didn't cook much. The townhouse had everything you could need for a relaxing getaway.
