Enjoy this totally renovated and redecorated landmark villa with three bedrooms and air conditioning throughout. Located directly on Yal-Ku lagoon in North Akumal, it is close by the beaches at Half Moon Bay and Akumal Bay.
Read any book on Akumal and you will hear of Casa Romero, the first house built on the lagoon, built by a close associate of the founder of Akumal. Once you arrive, you will see why he picked this spot: the best in all Akumal, across from a white sand beach, with the inlet to the lagoon on the right and lagoon on the left, Casa Romero features direct access to the lagoon and the wonderful views of both the lagoon and the ocean.
Now totally restored and redecorated to maintain its grandeur, you will find three large bedroom suites and truly spacious common areas for maximum comfort and luxury. There is one large bedroom on the ground floor with a king-size bed. There are two bedrooms on the second floor: the master bedroom affords a spectacular view of the lagoon from the king-size bed and magnificent pink marble bathroom/dressing room. The third bedroom has both a queen-size bed and a double bed and also has its own outdoor patio. Each bedroom is fully air conditioned.
Gaze over the panoramic view of the lagoon from the main living room which features dramatic two-story high ceilings along the roof line and comfortable seating areas for different activities. The flat screen TV provides US content via satellite. Take advantage of the free Wi-Fi internet access to send photographs to make your friends jealous, and use the supplied VOIP telephone for free calls to and from the US. Walk through the large patio doors which open onto a patio overlooking the lagoon and the outdoor pool.
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 more experienced.
Back inside, past the powder room, the entry way, and the spiral stairway to the second floor, the dining room once again features a view of the lagoon and a custom built dining suite with table and chairs for 10. Beyond the dining room, the completely redone large kitchen features all new appliances including an ice maker with purified water, tile and marble tops, and all new cabinets. Fully equipped, any cook will feel at home and ready to go. (A microwave is also there for those of us who are cooking impaired.) With this kitchen and the fully stocked place settings, glasses, and serving dishes, 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.
A large infinity pool is placed strategically next to the ground floor patio so that the water of the pool seems to blend in with the lagoon.
Unique to all of Akumal, Casa Romero has a high observation tower with comfortable seating on the balcony which encircles the tower. With a spectacular view of the lagoon, the ocean, and the surrounding area, you are likely to find this cool breezy hideaway your location of choice throughout the day and evening. You can often spot turtles in the inlet to the lagoon from the tower balcony. A small refrigerator is provided for ice and to keep your drinks cold.

Map & Owner's Profile
Casa Romero - Luxury Villa on Yal Ku Lagoon
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 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.

We have been going each year, (and sometimes 2-3 times per year) to Mexico since our honeymoon in 1989. The first few years we stayed in the hotel zone. Then we started staying in the mega-resorts (all inclusive). They were just too big, and too many people. The last few years we have been staying in Tulum, and Soloman Bay. Akumal, and Casa Romero has been our best trip yet! Just after a couple of days, we felt "at home" in the house. We spent a lot of time in the well equipped kitchen, and on the 3rd floor balcony relaxing and looking out into the lagoon and gulf. Of course the pool and the lagoon was great! We love to snorkle, and the water, the great visibility, and fish were the perfect way to start, and end the day. After a couple of days, my husband John, really got a little cabin fever, and the sat. tv and dvd saved the day. The last few years we have been vacationing with another couple from Texas, the Greens, and they loved Romero just as much as we did. We will be back!

The Casa Romero Villas are the best vacation villas I've stayed at in a long time and I have been on many vacations throughout my 50plus years. The bedrooms were of high quality and the full kitchen was a pleasure to cook in. I particularly loved the jazzuci style pools on the roof of our villa. It was so relaxing to sit in the pool and enjoy the spectacular view of the lagoon. I would highly recommend the Casa Romero Villas to anyone traveling in Mexico. They were well worth the trip.

Casa Romero is a beautiful home, very thoughtful with lovely decor and special art pieces making it a wonderful living space. Of course we love the pool, and the lagoon and the views from the home, the privacy and the very nice staff looking after us. The setting of the home and the community of Akumal are very mellow. We visited two very nice restaurants a couple of times. The only criticism of the home is the slippery, hard tile floors, especially next to the pool and the shower. Two of us slipped and fell, and we finally solved the problem by laying down beach towels coming out of the pool. Thanks to everyone - Martha & Steve

Casa Romero was everything we had hoped for, if any small problem arose, Rene, the caretaker, immediately took care of it. We will return at the first opportunity!

What a unique home and outstanding location. I still imagine sitting up on the upper deck enjoying the view and planning my snorkeling for the next day! We received exceptional service from the Poor's to the cleaning help, though we did have some difficulties with the AC which hopefully will be fixed by the time we return!
