A charming and comfortable beachfront cottage, located at Jade Bay in Akumal, Riviera Maya, Mexico. The cottage is privately located in the beautiful tropical garden of a private gated property. Its terrace is only 15 yards from the beach and a 10 minute beach walk from Akumal Village. A choice of cozy restaurants will satisfy your appetite. Akumal, 'the place of the turtles', is located between Playa del Carmen with its European flavoured vivid night life and Tulum with its historical Maya ruins. Carpark, private gate, and much more. To find out more visit our website, see link in 'Further Details' below.
Beautiful Beachfront Cottage: Usually, beach front villas along the Riviera Maya are big and not meant for a couple or small family to stay, they have usually 5+ bedrooms. The weekly rates are high and not affordable unless you shop around to fill the beds. Our Cottage offers you the Caribbean beachfront joy, the privacy of your own secluded tropical garden and beachfront. An affordable alternative in paradise!
How to Get There: Conveniently located close to the highway 307 from Cancun to Tulum, exit Las Villas Akumal, km 253. Isla Escape can be reached by public transportation with a transfer to the Paradas Continuas or a taxi at Playa del Carmen. All major car rental companies are present at Cancun airport. Car rental is also available at Akumal. Detailed routing will be provided with your booking confirmation through our website.
Where to Go, What to Do: This holiday destination offers a great variety of cultural, historical and leisure activities. If you don`t like 'activities' you may simply lay back and relax on the terrace or the beach with a good book and the ever lasting sound of the ocean.

Isla Escape honours it's name. Here nothing is missing to realize your wish to escape hectic life and completely rewind. We have enjoyed our 10 day stay in December under a stark blue sky and with the sound of the nearby ocean very much. The Cottage is realy complete, clean, very well maintained and located in beautiful nature a few steps away from a clean beach that appeared to be a very popular jogging area. Diving opportunities and a popular snorkeling site, a variety of restaurants and shopping, all at beach-walking distance. We enjoyed the privacy of the garden and the beachfront so much that we hesitated to go out. Tulum and Playa del Carmen nearby, two places with a total different character and worthwile to hang around. We have found Isla Escape totally in accordance with what is advertised on Homeaway and the IslaEscape website. The owners, who live next door, were a real asset, kind and caring. We loved Isla Escape and would recommend everybody to consider the beauty of this place. The cottage is small and is in our opinion comfortable for maximum four persons and OK for kids as well.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

We go home tomorrow-back to Cleveland, Ohio. Back to over a foot of snow and the temperatures well below freezing. We sat on the chaise lounges tonight and watched the full moon shinning over th ocean and wondered how we can we possibly leave? How do you leave paradise? When we first arrived in Cancun, we were excited, but also nervous. New country, different language, navigating and driving in Mexico (a ral challenge), just little things you get used to in your own little corner of the world. But Isla Escape has become our new little corner of the world. A peaceful, tranquil, beautiful heaven. Kim, you guys have been gracious and patient with all of our questions. Margarita and Ishmael are very hard workers and always with a smile. Juan made us feel safe and protected. Bozo and Tina made us not miss our little dog at home so much. We leave tomorrow, but a piece of our hearts will always be here.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

A wonderful home and great hosts! Margarita cooked us dinner one night, delicious and a very reasonable price. Her housekeeping is the top rate! The collectives (local mini buses) are amazing, just stand on the highway a short walk from the cottage and they stop, and our minium wait under 2 minutes, and the fare was 25 pesos each. Juan, the security guard is very nice and is patient teaching us Spanish. He likes coke, chcolate, if you have some to spare, must help him stay awake all night. We had a wonderful week! Thank you.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Can it really be time to go? It seems as thoguh we only just arrived! After looking over from next door villa on our last stay in Akumal, we could only imagine how perfect this hideaway might be. Kim, we can say it is PERFECT! Everything you have planned is thoughtful and added to our relaxation and enjoyed this amazing paradise! With gratitude for all you have done for us.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

25 C Akumal versus -2 C in London! It was a fantastic week awayy from unusual cold and snow of the UK in a fantastic location. We loved the house and the welcoming pack. It was great to be able to live without a car-walking along the beach to Akumal Turtle Bay Cafe was our favourite and happy hour until 6:30 pm in the beach side bar! And catching the amazingly efficient collections to Tulum and Play and DosOjos Cenotes which did a great snorkel tour. Our biggest thanks to margarita for cleaning up our daily mess! And Ishmael for his smiles and helping us to book a taxi in Spanish. Maybe, one day we will be back.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Our stay at Isla Escape was nothing short of perfection! Your house is such a wonderful home for exploring teh treasure and the Riviera Maya. We deeply appreciate all the samll details, especially the food and wine in our first evening here! We so enjoyed getting to know you. We also cannot say enough about Ishmael and Margarita, both of whome went above and beyond, they were lovely to make our stay so perfect. The day our girls spent with rachel and Sara was the highlight of the trip. We cannot wait to return! Thank you for letting us stay at the wonderful, fabulous home! Snorkelling was the best and the ocean had so much to explore.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Perfect honeymoon for two old lone birds, this is the most wonderful place to start our new life. We loved our beach and will return often. Many thanks for the lovely accommodations and the efforts of Margarita and Ishmael. Also, having Bozo as our beach dog has been a delight. We leave with full hearts and great tans. Thank you.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

So, this is my third time writing in this guestbook. It is always nice to know Isla Escape is here for me when I want a beach from the "real world". It was so nice to lie around, hang out with family, and enjoy the hospitality of the local people. Ishmael, Margaritas and their daughters are also especially nice and hospitable. I am ready to go home now, but next time when I come back, it will be just as wonderful, thank you for a lovely vacation. Like my sister said, it is our third time here, and once again, I have thoroughly, enjoyed myself, it was nice having my whole family with me while I relaxed, and took pleasure in the beach surrounding, here at Isla Escape. Each year, I find myself looking forward to coming here. Once again, time has passed by so fast in paradise! All is so beautiful, peaceful and friendly. This has been our third time here, and hopefully, we will return many more! Thanks again for truly memorable vacation. Our family looks forward to it all year long! Until next time! Best wishes & thank you.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

We have been coming to Akumal several years and we have stayed in several casas, Isla Escape is by far our favourite. We will be back god willing, when we got here it was late at night, and raining, Ismael & Margarita were waiting for us with smiles with unmbrellas. The groceries in the refrigerator were awesome. The fishing, scuba diving and snorkelling were fantastic! Maybe someday, we will be neighbors, someday!! Thanks again!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

We now know what paradise is! Isla Escape was a perfect destination for all of us. Our favourite time was seating on the patio, listing to the waves and enjoying the warm breeze. Thank you Ishmael and Margarita for your kindness and big smiles everyday. Dinner first day we have arrived was fantastic! We will return Bozo, his visits everyday was so welcomed! We will be back!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1
