Located between Akumal and Tulum, along Mexico's Riviera Maya one hour and 15 minutes south of Cancun. A great place to enjoy beach living. Easy and comfortable, Casa Cavu is located along the white sand beach of Tankah Tres. 1 Sea Kayak, 1 canoe, beach side swimming pool with umbrellas and nice hammocks mean that you can spend days "just hanging out" in this lovely villa and never have to put on shoes.
The second largest barrier reef in the world, the Palancar is steps from your door. It protects Tankah Tres from surf so the bay is always calm and perfect for snorkeling or sea kayaking. Snorkleing just off the beach you will see hard and soft corals and a multitude of colorful tropical fish. Dive services are located within walking distance, also two restaurants.
General Layout: Casa Cavu is a two level villa with three bedrooms and open floor plan. The main level consists of an open living and dining area with breakfast bar and fully equipped modern kitchen. Sliding glass doors highlight the incredible view looking out over beachside pool and Tankah Bay. Two bedrooms are located on the main level and share a bath. The main level king bedroom with a/c enjoys ocean view windows and has beach access via sliding doors. The second bedroom has one queen and one single bed with a/c and garden view.
The master suite is located on the upper level and is furnished with king bed and is air conditioned. It has a nice private bath and incredible views of the bay and Caribbean. There is a patio on this level.
The rooftop observatory is a perfect place to sip an evening margarita and watch the bay. As the sun sets enjoy a view of the heavens that you will never forget. CAVU means "Ceiling Available Visibility Unlimited".
Our caretakers, Isidro and Rocio are a big part of what makes CAVU such a special home. Icidro was an executive Chef in Cancun prior to accepting his position as caretaker. He offers an extensive menu and prepares his dishes with loving care. Rocio is the housekeeper, she keeps CAVU in sparkling condition. We also have an American property manager who greets our guests within 24 hours of arrival to orientate and answer any questions. Management is available during the entire stay.
As of December 17, 2010 Casa Cavu is now offering 5 complimentary meal preparations included during a one week (7 night) stay. Guests can choose either breakfast or dinner service prepared by our master chef Icidro.
Guests will plan meals upon arrival with Icidro the chef. He will then do the shopping for you for a one time grocery shopping fee of US$25. The cost of groceries is additional.

Just a quick note to tell you what a fabulous vacation we had at Casa Cavu. Isidro and Rosio are absolute gems and were an integral part of making the vacation so amazing. Such lovely and agreeable people. We ate very very well, as you can imagine, and were spoiled by Rosio's very high standards of cleanliness. Our two daughters were in heaven. See you again next year!

Casa Cavu was fantastic! We had a wonderful time, Isidro and his wife are great, I cannot say enough about them. My father used to be the General Manager of Sanborns, a restaurant chain throughout Mexico, so I grew up critiquing the food service business and I can tell you without a doubt that my father would have been highly impressed with both of them. The food, the presentation, the clean-up, just perfect. There really was no need to go to a restaurant! The house was spectacular, very clean, neat and tidy and kept that way the entire week despite our best efforts to mess it up. The exterior is also kept very clean and well maintained. We were also impressed with the simple amenities that you cant get in a hotel, such as the awesome selection of music, books and movies. We did not use the internet that much but to have it available, particularly for checking on our flight status, was of great comfort. We are seriously planning our next vacation down there and are very much interested in staying at Casa Cavu!

Marcia, I just wanted to drop you a quick note and say we had an awesome time, the massages were great from Budda Spa. Isidro can cook like nobody's business (ha you already knew that) and Casa Cavu was perfect. "This last week in May 2010 we took our third family vacation to Mexico. This time we stayed in Casa Cavu on Tankah Bay... a perfect location. The house was appropriately named after an avation term... Cavu... meaning "Ceiling Available And Visibility Unlimited" A well needed and great vacation". -

We stayed in Casa Cavu in May 2008. There were 4 adults, 2 4-year olds, and 2-infants. It was so wonderful and had everything we needed. We really felt no need to even leave the property. The caretakers were amazing. You must let Isidoro cook for you. Do it the first night and you will be hooked. I would definitely stay again and recommend it to a friend. You never know what you are actually going to get but Casa Cavu really looked just like the beautiful photos online.

This was a wonderful home in the Tankah Bay area of the Mayan Riveria. The home was wonderful - not too hot in June and air-conditioned bedrooms. The caretakers (Isidro and Rocio) were warm and friendly and wonderful. The location is fantastic, unless you like lots of high-rise hotels and resort action. It's relatively quiet and peaceful and very tranquil. A wonderful place to visit. We will return!

Casa Cavu was wonderful!! The house was perfect and the staff were exceptional!! We were staying in our own little corner of paradise. We were centrally located to all that we wanted to do, and when we wanted to spend the day at the house, there was a gorgeous beach, pristine pool, and hammocks to enjoy all day. We could even walk along the street to our home or the beach in front of the home, and visit a couple of restaurants, a snack store, and even made some friends. We would highly recommend this location!!

Our vacation with three children (10, 6 and 2) was wonderful and easy. The quiet bay was a perfect retreat. Beaches close by were beautiful Carribean sands, restaurants were terrific (including Blue Sky right down the lane), the grocery store and town of Tulum were all within a stones throw, and the adventure through Hidden Worlds and the cenotes were mesmerizing. The house itself has incredible views and the caretakers, Esidro and Rosia, were delightful, great cooks and kept the house in perfect condition.

We loved this property! We had 2 kids with us and they played all day on the beach and in the pool. The fish at the reef were beautiful and we even saw a turtle. Easy to get to Xel-Ha and the sites of Tulum. We had Senor make us a few delicious meals...everything was perfect....
