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 Home
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.
