  Our group of 11 spent an amazing week at Villa Arghy at the beginning of April. We had lots of teenagers and 6 adults. We wanted for nothing during our stay. Home: beautiful, large, comfortable. Setting: incredibly beautiful. Activities: too many to cover in 1 week. Lesly, Alfredo, and all the drivers and manager were friendly, efficient and accommodating. We walked nearly every day to the Blue Sky restaurant within the neighborhood and greatly enjoyed all of the food when we weren't being pampered by Lesly's wonderful cooking. Service was incredible. Had a great time snorkeling in the nearest Cenote. Spent a full day at Xel Ha and would recommend it. Spent a very hot day at the ruin in Tulum. Our pictures look like a postcard.The owner of Villa Arghy was very helpful and responsive to all our needs. We felt safe with the security presence at the entrance to the neighborhood.We had a blast shopping the local fare in Playa Del Carmen. Beach combing on the Caribbean definitely beats anything we have on our coast! The Mexican people were friendly and welcoming. Definitely have and will continue to recommend Villa Arghy to others. Only worried it will become too popular and we won't be able to get our next reservation. It was incredible. We will definitely return ASAP! We loved every minute!

  This is not a rental house but rather a home in the perfect setting. Talk about relaxing. The home had all the creature comforts one would want and then some. The wet bar had everything needed to make tropical drinks and play local music while sipping drinks pool side or on the beach with sand between your toes. The kitchen had everything you need should you want to cook yourself while on holiday, or take advantage of Leaslie's (on site care taker) cooking. Two GREAT places to eat are an easy walk down the beach or the main road. I recommend Blue Sky for Breakfast and awesome pizza.

  Villa Arghy is by far the best house rental in Tulum. The house is perfectly appointed with wonderful beds, great bar, entertainment center, wifi (for those unfortunate enough to have to stay connected), games, videos, really everything you could ever want. The setting on the beach is amazing and there is nothing more I can say other than this was one of our best family vacations ever. The house comes with the most amazing staff, Lesley and Alfredo who were very attentive when needed, provided the best meals when we planned them and otherwise allowed us to have a worry free experience. For those out there who have found the experience doesn't match the photo's, it's by far better than the pictures can project. We feel we found the place we will now retrun to annually!

  Villa Arghy was great! The house is luxurious but welcoming and was accurately depicted on the website. Three floors (including the roof deck) allow plenty of room to spread out and get quiet time. Wonderful breezes from the sea meant that we never had to turn on the air conditioning, and the sunrises were exquisite. A large number of DVDs, books and games was available. Everything was meticulously clean and in excellent repair (one shower head ran slowly initially but was quickly repaired by Alfredo). He and his wife Lesley were unobtrusive but always available and kept the house and pool immaculate. Lesley cooked 2 meals for us that were excellent, and the complementary guacamole and pico de gallo every night were also fantastic (even the non-avocado fans were very enthusiastic). The owner of the property recommended a local tour company (Riviera Adventours with headquarters at nearby Oscar y Lalo restaurant) and we booked a full day tour including Chichen Itza and Ek Balam Mayan ruins, swimming and lunch at an amazing cenote (natural sinkhole), tour of the monastery in Vallodidad, breakfast, snacks and evening appetizers that turned into a dinner for which we were not charged extra. We also did a snorkeling tour with them that took about 3/4 of a day and was fantastic. Good value for the money! Virginia takes amazing care of everyone and has a long history with the area that is fascinating to hear. I would recommend them highly. The ruins in Tulum are lovely and interesting. Go early to everything! If you don't get to Tulum ruins early, get a guide to take you (cobble together a larger group with other English speakers to reduce the price per person) to skip waiting in line. Coba ruins are a short drive and 2 of our party visited and were impressed. El Paraiso beach in Tulum was lovely and we had a nice lunch at El Pez on the beach road in Tulum. Manatee cenote, just up the street, was beautiful for snorkeling and very different from other sites. I would agree with previous guests that the beach at the house is not the most desirable for swimming, being rocky with very coarse coral sand and large chunks of coral and unfortunately lots of plastic detritus from the Caribbean sea. A constructive criticism: better maps in the house notebook and advance brochure and some instructions on operating the oven--it is not a typical American set up and took us some time to figure out. I will definitely return and highly recommend this beautiful villa.

  I'm reading through the other 5star reviews, and they are all right on the money. The house exceeds expectations, and a feeling of relaxation takes over you the moment you step through the door into the immaculately clean house. The view, the expansive house with privacy for each bedroom, the balconies, the stars at nite, the ocean lulling you to sleep, the infinity pool, Lesley's cooking, Alfredo's caretaking, the sea turtles, it's all amazing!! I really cannot stress enough how wonderful of a place this is. Ten minutes down the road to Tulum, and you can do all the shopping, restaurants, and hanging out in town you like, only to come home and feel like you have your own private beach by the jungle. We snorkeled out and saw where some of the cenotes came out and the salt water was mixing with the fresh. Amazing schools of fish out there right off shore from the house. The owners of Villa Arghy are very blessed to have Lesley, Angel, and Alfredo. Lesley's cooking is amazing, as I mentioned above, and we really appreciated the bottled water available, and purified ice in the freezer for evening happy hour. In addition to amazing meals (we had the shrimp, chili rellanos, fish, and chicken fajitas), Lesley gave us excellent local advice, took care of the house duties so well that I've never felt so pampered, and just in general seemed to have a gift for appearing just as we had a question or a request. Alfredo made sure we got to see the sea turtle babies migration to the ocean, and both in general were just so thoughtful. An example that comes to mind is that we'd spent the day south of Tulum on dirt roads, and the back windows of the rental cars were totally dirty and you couldn't see through them to back up or generally see behind you. We came out the next morning, and Alfredo had hosed off the back windows for us! I'm so spoiled after this vacation, I don't know how we're going to be able to top it! Very rarely do we visit the same area twice on our adventures, but this one, we will definitely be coming back to! The only advise I would give is that if you have small children, make sure they wear swim shoes in the pool area, and just around the house in general. This house, like all of them we saw on our vacation, has alot of tile and concrete, and can scrape up tender skin.

  4 couples shared this beautiful house and it felt like we had not only a private house and pool but also a private beach paradise to ourselves. Didn't seem like anyone was around us. Service that Lesley and Alfredo provide is AMAZING. We had Lesley cook for us every night. Nothing about the house or the service was a disappointment. Pictures were 100% accurate. House was very clean and well-maintained. Lesley and Alfredo did a tremendous job of keeping inside and outside very clean during our stay. For beach lovers this house has great views and what a sight to look out over the ocean from the infinity pool - only advice is to bring swim shoes if you plan to walk beach or ocean because of rocks/reef. Very nice to have private bathroom and bedroom and still so much room to be together in group - whether in first floor living room, second floor television area, rooftop patio, or pool deck. Felt very safe and secure our entire visit. Air conditioning in bedrooms worked great. Clean water and ice was plentiful. Best vacation ever! If you are willing to leave the all-inclusive resort properties and stay in a house then Villa Arghy will not disappoint. I would highly recommend Villa Arghy. Matt S. from St. Louis, MO, USA

  We had a wonderful stay at Villa Arghy this August. The house is wonderful. Beautiful. Breathtaking. The staff were extremely helpful with helping us navigate the area. And getting to witness the plethora of sea turtles on the beach in front of the house was an amazing experience. We are already planning a return trip to Villa Arghy...

  My husband and I stayed at Villa Arghy, along with my cousin and her husband, the week of July 23. From the time of our arrival, Lesley and Alfredo treated us with such kind hospitality and were so helpful in meeting all of our needs and requests. We were completely thrilled to watch turtles come onto shore almost every night. We were even able to watch baby turtles hatch and make their journey to the water. These experiences were truly amazing! For those who are considering a stay at Villa Arghy, we would highly recommend it. It truly is a place where you can leave all of your stress behind and simply relax and enjoy the beauty and wonder of the area and of all that nature has to offer there. We will definitely plan another trip there! One final recommendation for those who stay at Villa Arghy: try Lesley's fried chicken! It is wonderful!!!

  Villa Arghy never ceases to exceed our expectations. Our first visit was just a one night stay, so we were eager to spend a whole week in this immaculate house. From the moment we walked in, it was pure relaxation. Villa Arghy is immaculate both inside and out. It’s clear the owners and groundskeepers take great pride in keeping the house pristine. The house quickly feels like home with all of its state-of-the-art creature comforts (internet, satellite tv, phone, etc.), but we didn’t need those because we were too busy watching the turtles nest and exploring the surrounding area. I was previously skeptical about renting a house, wondering if the pictures really reflected what we were getting. Ha! The pictures online hardly do the house justice. But truly, the quiet efforts of Lesly and Alfredo, the groundskeepers, are what take this from an average rental to an oasis. Lesly seems to materialize at just the time you need her, and before you know it she has quietly slipped back out the door to leave you to enjoy your stay. Lesly is a fantastic cook and our group thoroughly enjoyed eating dinner at the house instead of at a restaurant. Alfredo does an exceptional job keeping the outside well maintained. The beach was always smoothed, the pool clear and never a speck of trash anywhere—not even washed up on the beach. Also, he was patient enough to humor a bunch of tourists and climb a coconut tree to make us a “Coco Loco.” Driving was my biggest concern in renting a house, but honestly, it turned out to be no big deal. Everything was within a short distance and we quickly adapted our driving skills to get along in Mexico just fine. Here’s the activities nearby that we enjoyed: --Xel Ha water park—for roughly $80, you got park admission and FREE FOOD AND DRINKS ALL DAY (alcohol included!). My favorite were the zip lines. There is also snorkeling, a lazy river, bike riding, manatees, sting rays, swimming with dolphins, and a cave. Snorkeling fins were free with a deposit. It was a great way to spend the day. I would definitely do it again. --Paraiso Beach—My second time to this beach I enjoyed it just as much. Great fish tacos and quesadillas at the restaurant on-site. The sand is like flour between your toes and the ocean a perfect temperature. --Akumal Beach—Swim with the sea turtles!! This was right up there with Xel Ha. The turtles were beautiful and were so close you could touch them. Some of our group went fishing out of he
