25% Off - Casa La Via- New Luxury Villa - Gated Sirenis Resort
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Akumal
With long term retirement plans in mind, we found our ideal spot in a new hotel development, called the Sirenis, which featured for the first time, a residential section with individual lots for sale.
We bought the land in December 2005, hired a local Mexican architect in April, 2006 and worked with him on the design of the house over the summer. Building started in October 2006 and 9 months later, the villa was completed. In July 2007, we entered a brand new and very empty Casa La Vía and spent that month of July furnishing it. We completed decorating it over the Christmas 2007 holidays. We have been renting it when we are not using it since January 2008.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa
With our secluded jungle setting, we feel as if we are truly away from it all from morning to night! The tropical birds serenade us as we enjoy our leisurely breakfast under the palapa. At nighttime, we head to our rooftop terrace to stargaze and count the shooting stars!
As part of the new Sirenis Resort Complex, we are within walking distance of a naturally preserved turtle-nesting beach, lagoon and cenote. There is a paved jogging path and we enjoy the services of the Sirenis security guards who control the entrance and patrol the area on motorcycles 24 hours a day. We love to pamper ourselves with spa treatments at the new ultra luxurious spa at the Grand Sirenis Hotel, a minute away from the villa.
We have Property Managers who take care of our place who speak English. They meet all our guests to explain the running of the house, answer questions, etc. We also have a housekeeper and gardener 6 days a week, who take care of the house, garden and pool areas (so there are no beds to make, just like at a hotel!)
We are only a few minutes from Akumal, a laid-back beach town where you will find a variety of restaurants and quaint shops. This is where the turtles come to nest from May to August. Year-round, you can swim with the turtles simply by swimming out from the shore! They are quite majestic!
We are located right in the heart of where many of the attractions of the Riviera Maya are found, making for very easy access for day trips. Mayan ruins, 15 picturesque cenotes and a variety of the best beaches in the Riviera Maya are only a 5-20 minute drive away!

We had a fabulous time staying at Casa La Via. We had two families here, which included four children all aged 5years or younger. The kids loved the pool. The villa was easy to get to and is located conveniently for short day trips to the beach, Tulum, Coba, dolphins, etc. The house was modern, spacious and very well kept. Wilma and Victor did a great job keeping the place in tip top shape. Wilma's meals were outstanding. The kitchen was well stocked and we loved all the RubberMaid containers available for packing snacks and lunches for the kids. We were thankful to have so much great information and tips from the owners prior to our trip which made it so much easier when travelling with young kids.Their website is accurate and informative as well. We would recommend this place to anyone who wants something a bit more quiet and secluded yet is a great base for getting to and from sightseeing and activities. We would love to come back!

My family and my sister's family recently spent two weeks at Casa la Via (total group of 5 adults and 4 children 5 yrs and under). The house became our home for two weeks! We were welcomed after a long travelling day with cranky, sick young kids... to a house lit up with a Christmas tree and fresh salsa and guacamole in the fridge. Such wonderful and welcoming touches! The house was kept spotless during our stay by Wilma, and we were also spoiled to have her cook on two occasions (highlights of the trip!). We found the house to be in a perfect central location for our many day trips. We also used the pool practically every day. Our kids became very accomplished swimmers and snorkellers in that pool. All in all, it was a fabulous vacation, where we fell in love with Akumal and Casa la Via. In fact, we are hoping to make a return trip next year.

Everything was perfect! Words can’t describe how absolutely perfect everything was. From the moment we entered, we knew we had picked well. It was spotless, fresh-smelling, welcoming and breathtakingly beautiful. Its décor was stunning – we took loads of pictures. The pool was huge and it even had its own little palapa. Lots of cute little birds and our sons even saw a monkey in a tree nearby while they were in the pool. They found that pretty cool and kept talking about it all week. The gorgeous bedrooms had really comfortable beds, the sheets were high quality, there was plenty of closet space and the air conditioners that were quiet and worked well. The bathrooms were all so pretty; all different and there was plenty of hot water for our showers. It was also great not having to make any beds. Wilma, the housekeeper, was amazing. She kept the villa spotless the whole time we were there and every time we would come back from a day at the beach, it was as clean as when we first walked in. We highly recommend Casa La Vía and will definitely come back!

Best Sales Incentive Trip Ever

Review Submitted: 03/22/11
What an amazing week! The company which I work for, held a trip for the “best” sales representatives…7 of us…at the luxurious “Casa la Via” ... such a pleasant change from our usual all-inclusive resort! The villa is stunning…everything is high-tech quality, just like a 5 star hotel! It even has 2 pool bars, which we loved for our 'happy hour'. The villa had everything we needed. In the morning some of my co-workers would take the bicycles (there were 3 bikes for us) and cycled around the resort. Some, on the other hand, preferred to start their morning with a snorkel (lots of masks and snorkels provided) and hopped into the golf cart and headed off directly to the nearby lagoon. One of my colleagues preferred staying at the villa and did his morning exercise in the pool while listening to his favorite music (the outdoor sound system is amazing!). I personally started off my mornings by running on the 2 km picturesque road that goes around the Sirenis complex. There are so many things to explore in this area of Mexico. We went to several amazing beaches, saw both Tulum and Coba, snorkelled around a couple of underground caves (Gran and Dos Ojos) and even zip lined at Hidden Worlds. Everything was so close by; we just went with the flow and didn’t even have to do any major day planning. When the evening came, we tried the many different restaurants in Akumal…wow! All were great! Some evenings, Wilma (the housekeeper) would prepare us a superb meal; actually we are still talking about her ‘deliciosa’ seafood soup, made with 8 different kinds of fish! We just loved hanging around the rooftop when the sun fell and gazed at the stars… we really felt we were far, far away from work! The week went by so quickly… we just loved this place so much, that next year our company is planning on returning to Casa La Via! Now, I just have to make my numbers!

Casa La Vía is real gem! It is decorated with such taste that we felt as if we were in a 5 star hotel, yet had a villa all to ourselves! We felt right at home as soon as we walked through the door. The beds were amazingly comfortable and we really appreciated being able to control the a/c throughout the whole villa, not just the bedrooms! The villa is spotless and everything from the towels to the kitchen utensils and glasses is top-notch. Being on the grounds of the Sirenis Complex was such a treat! We actually snorkeled without a soul around at Yalkuito Lagoon. We just left our towels on the shore, hopped in and snorkeled around this little lagoon edged by the jungle. We saw some pretty amazing fish and could not believe that we had this private lagoon to ourselves! We also tried out the spa at the Grand Sirenis at the end of the afternoon one day – wow, was it ever luxurious!! And you did not need a day pass, we simply paid for the treatments! The hot stone massage was incredible! We always felt extremely safe. The highway is well-patrolled (we made sure to watch our speed) and the villa is part of the Sirenis Complex, so there is a guard at the gate and the area is patrolled all day and night. The people in this area of Mexico are so warm and friendly. We will definitely be back!

Your house is absolutely beautiful! The kitchen is incredibly well thought out and stocked. It is the best equipped kitchen that we have ever stayed at. I commend you. We really absolutely loved staying here and found that everything went really smoothly. The snorkelling gear and boogie boards were a fantastic addition. Both Wilma and Victor were so friendly. They really kept everything so spotless. Wilma is a great cook and I can still taste her tortilla soup! I would wholeheartedly recommend your villa and it is well equipped for children. The swimbed in the pool made a superb wading pool for our little ones. And they just loved the cool bunkbeds! There is also so much to do in this area that we could have been kept busy for a month. We can't wait to come back!

This is our third stay at Casa La Vía and we just love it! There are still so many things to see and do. It is so well located that we were on the main highway within a minute and close to absolutely everything! We all loved ziplining and snorkeling at Hidden Worlds and boogie boarding at Tulum with the best oven pizzas at La Vita e Bella. Our 3 teenagers had no time to get bored! The cenotes were a big hit – Dos Ojos was acclaimed the favorite (and we visited many)! Swimming with the turtles in Akumal Beach was breathtaking – these huge turtles are so majestic!The villa itself is wonderful. It has everything one would imagine in a dream home! It is very well appointed and you can see the quality and thought that went into its design. We had lots of space to spread out and with all the terraces, you could always find a quiet corner to yourself. The rooftop terrace was one of our favorite get-away-from-it all spots be it for watching the sunrise over the ocean with a good cup of coffee or enjoying a Margarita while catching the last rays as the sunset over the jungle. At night when our kids would watch a movie (the movie selection was superb), we would head up to the terrace and stargaze! What a perfect way to end our day!!!

A wonderful week in paradise with the family. We have stayed in the Akumal area before but this was our first time at Casa La Vía. It certainly won’t be our last!! The pictures on the Internet, although very nice, do not do this villa justice! It is even more breathtaking than we expected. The little decorating touches throughout have been done with such taste just like in a magazine, yet also very comfortable so you don’t feel as if you are going to break anything. The jungle views were spectacular – so lush, green and private. This villa was the perfect place for our day trips. Within minutes, we were at a cenote, Xpu-Ha Beach or Akumal. The kids loved jumping in off the cliff at Cenote Azul on our way back from Xpu-Ha Beach. We appreciated having all the beach chairs, umbrellas and coolers provided. We would pack up the car and head off to explore! The Welcome Book provided all kinds of hints and suggestions for beaches, restaurants, and day trips. It was so practical and complete that we got to see so many things that we did not know about on our previous trip to Akumal. We had a touring and beach vacation, all in one, which was fabulous!The staff was very friendly. Wilma makes the best guacamole and fajitas!! She kept the villa spotless and always had a big smile for us. Santiago was very helpful and the pool was always in perfect condition for us to enjoy! We can’t wait to come back!!

Casa La Via is absolutely charming and a place of utter relaxation! We really enjoyed the peacefulness and seclusion of the jungle. It was a nice relief from the sand and wind of the beach. The kids just loved the cute geckos... they were drawing them all week! They kept looking for the pair of monkeys that apparently live nearby, but had no luck this time. The pool area was fabulous. My husband the sun-worshipper, loved the built-in sun bed while I could not believe that we had our very own palapa by the pool! The pool bars were just fabulous for our Happy Hour margaritas! The villa itself has everything one could wish for. It is so tastefully decorated in a Mayan décor and extremely well thought out and everything last little thing you need is there! From the detailed Welcome Book, a guide book in itself, to the kitchen that has every last little pot and cooking utensil you may ever need, we never felt that we were missing a thing! Wilma always greeted us with a big smile and kept the place immaculate. Santiago always had a cheery hola for us and kept the pool sparkling and so inviting! We are already planning our next trip!
