Enjoy these two totally renovated and redecorated two story, two bedroom townhouses with central air throughout. Located directly on Yal-Ku lagoon in North Akumal, they are close by the beaches at Half Moon Bay and Akumal Bay.
The combination of both French Angel townhouses is ideal for two families traveling together or friends traveling together. Each luxurious townhouse offers privacy but convenient access to the lagoon, the ocean, nearby restaurants, and the many activities in and around Akumal.
Sleep in comfort in your bedroom suite with large windows overlooking the lagoon. Located on the second floor, each bedroom has its own separate air conditioning and bathroom with sink, toilet and shower. The master bedroom has one king bed and the other bedroom has two double beds and can hold up to four children or two adults. (Each townhouse has a maximum occupancy is 6, or 12 for the whole building).
For each townhouse, the ground floor contains the living room dining room, kitchen, bath, and laundry area. The spacious living room includes comfortable furniture and patio doors looking over the lagoon. The flat screen TV is attached to a satellite with US content with all major networks including HBO and ESPN. Open WiFi Internet connection is available at no cost.
The included VOIP telephone provides unlimited free phone calls to the US, Canada, Mexico, Europe, and more than 50 other countries. With a US phone number, your family and friends can call you!
The open transition from the living room to the dining area adds to the feeling of spaciousness. The dining area includes a table for six and again features patio doors looking over the lagoon.
With the fully equipped kitchen, you can choose to fix your own meals, go out to any of the area restaurants, or hire your caretaker, to fix you some special dinners you are sure to remember.
Walk out a few steps from the patio directly to your private access to the lagoon. Put on your snorkeling gear, turn left towards the head of the lagoon and commune with parrot fish, angel fish, sergeant fish, and many other exotic tropical fish. Turn right and swim towards the sea and you may spot a turtle or ray after the lagoon transitions to a sandy inlet. With essentially no waves, the lagoon is ideal for children and adults, and offers magnificent snorkeling for both the novice and the more experienced snorkeler.
Treat yourself to something special: go to the roof deck where you get a spectacular view of the lagoon, the ocean, and the surrounding area. You can relax on the lounge chairs and "catch the rays", or you can sit in the covered seating area if you want to enjoy the view but stay out of the sun.. but best of all, you can relax in the heated rooftop pool overlooking the lagoon - perfect small children and for cooling off during the day.
At night, turn off the lights, turn on the pool heater, relax, and admire the stars.
For larger groups, the townhouses can be rented together for four bedrooms and a maximum capacity of 12. For even larger groups, French Angel can be combined with other units in the Romero complex. Please contact us for information.

Map & Owner's Profile
French Angel - Luxury Townhouses on Yal Ku Lagoon, Akumal
Year Purchased: 2007
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...Collapse
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 Townhome
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....Collapse
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.

Really a perfect location. I love to snorkel but sometimes I get anxious in the ocean and the surf. In the lagoon the water is still and clear with no wave or tidal action. I can really feel comfortable to stay in the water for over an hour sometimes many times a day. The house is spacious and aesthetically ideal. I love the roof top pool which is really private and has a great view. Akumal is a beautiful little village with some sweet bars and restaurants. Tulume is near by and is a fabulous ruin.

Great location! Great snorkeling. We saw turtles, sting rays, and lots of fish. We rented both sides of the French Angel. The care taker Rene and all the staff were very friendly and responsive to our needs. Our group had children ranging in age from 2 to 14 years, and they had a wonderful time watching fish, and swimming in the lagoon. Make sure you snorkel in the lagoon early before the crowds gather, and the water gets cloudy. Head to nearby Half Moon Bay for a change of scene and white beach sand.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.
