Enjoy this totally renovated and redecorated two story, four bedroom townhouse complex (two luxury townhouses) with central air throughout. Located directly on Yal-Ku lagoon in North Akumal, it is close by the beaches at Half Moon Bay and Akumal Bay.
Sleep in comfort in your bedroom suite with a king-size bed and 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. (Maximum occupancy is eight adults, four per townhouse - please see the listing for French Angel if you are traveling with children).
For each townhouse, the ground floor contains the living room dining room, kitchen, bath, and laundry areas. The spacious living room areas include comfortable furniture and patio doors looking over the lagoon. The flat screen TV is attached to a satellite with US content including HBO. 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 rooms to the dining areas adds to the feeling of spaciousness. The dining areas includes a table for six and again features patio doors looking over the lagoon.
With the fully equipped kitchens, 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 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.
At night, turn off the lights, turn on the pool heater, relax, and admire the stars.

Map & Owner's Profile
Secluded Luxury Townhouses for Adults: Blue Tang 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 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. 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.

Blue Tang is perfect for one or two couples, and I stayed there a few days by myself and felt perfectly safe. The night security guard made me feel comfortable about this. Rene, the caretaker, was able to handle any questions or repairs we needed. We will return as the economy allows!

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 aways 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! Heather & Larry

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!

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!!!!

We have made numerous trips to the area and this was our 2nd stay at Blue Tang and once again we had a wonderful time. We first went in May 2009 and stayed at Blue Tang B with family for a week. This trip we stayed in A unit and extended our time to 10 nights. The unit is fully equipped, as is the B unit, and once again we enjoyed the wonderful rooftop pool and superb lagoon snorkling. We had a magnificant full moon, great breeze and all the privacy you could dream of. October is a great time to go to avoid the crowds. We saw 2 turtles, a school of 8 sofa-sized parrot fish and that of course helped make our trip memorable. The snorkling was much better in October due to the lack of large snorkle tours. In the early mornings before 10 and late afternoons after 4 we had the entire lagoon to ourselves and that was a nice treat. During the rest of the day there were fewer than 12 people so that was a very nice treat. This is the first time we have repeated a stay at the same location and we have been visiting the area annually since 1986. We won't be venturing away from Blue Tang and are already planning another trip in May or June again with family. Renee and staff ensured all our creature comforts during our stay and we found everything to be in excellent order. We can't speak highly enough of the care David and Nancy have taken to ensure a great vacation. All the details, everything from the artwork and furniture, to the stocked kitchen and the comfortable towels, beds and sheets were well thought out. It is literally like a home away from home and we can't thank them enough for sharing it with us. Looking forward to our next visit already!

This was an absolutely perfect unit for two couples. We had an incredible time, perfect weather, and an ideal location. The staff at the Romero Complex were incredible, accomodated every request we had, and were extremely pleasant and friendly. Absolutely no complaints. The unit was charmingly decorated, nicely furnished, and stocked with amenities. The roof-top pool and Yal-Ku lagoon were just icing on the cake. Thanks for an ideal vacation. -John
