Location: Akumal, Quintana Roo, Yucatan, Mayan Riviera, Mexico (Jade Beach, 60 miles South of Cancun International Airport)
Accommodations: Villa, 4 Bedrooms + Den, 4.5 Baths (Sleeps 8-10)
Jade Bay is a beautiful new area on the spectacular "Riviera Maya" south of Playa del Carmen. The bay forms a white coral sand, crescent beach that's similar to Akumal Bay, an easy stroll away. Villa Margarita is one of few villas on Jade Bay. The privacy and security is superb yet a variety of shopping, restaurants, snorkeling, and recreation are only minutes away.
Villa Margarita provides over 3500 square feet of luxurious living that can accommodate up to ten guests. Full maid service and grounds keeper six days per week. Continental breakfast served daily, except weekends. Four large, air conditioned bedrooms, three upstairs and one down, each with its own uniquely decorated bathroom and patio with ocean view. The individual decks open to private Caribbean ocean views and luxurious sea breezes. There will be no coin-toss for best bedroom in Villa Margarita, every bedroom is a master bedroom!
Three of the bedrooms have fixed king-size beds and one has a king that can separate into two twins; an arrangement for any group. Also, on the second floor there is an air conditioned and fully-equipped satellite TV room with VCR, two futon sofabeds, shared bathroom, and its own private patio overlooking the jungle and the village of Akumal.
The living room and dining room face the ocean on the first floor where a wall of sliding patio doors invites you to enjoy the refreshing pool only three steps away and the Caribbean surf just beyond. Behind as you face the ocean is a sit-up bar connected to the kitchen via an open archway. Two steps lift you to the foyer, splashed in natural light spilling in from the cupola above. You look up through the oval opening in the ceiling, through the second floor with its iron railing, to the ceiling of the second floor where a high, brick domed cupola spills natural light throughout! There are ceiling fans everywhere.
Off the foyer you enter the modern and fully-equipped kitchen with an expansive view over the bar to the dining room and beyond to the pool and ocean. A perfect place to prepare a meal or those Margaritas for Happy Hour around the pool. If you prefer casual outdoor cooking you will want to use the propane fired barbecue and outdoor kitchen and wet bar just off the front door. Off the foyer and near the stairs you find the half bath and powder room and entrance to the main floor bedroom. The furnishings are Mexican with brilliant Caribbean-style fabrics. From the living room and dining room you exit to a covered patio that borders the refreshing pool with safe depths for kids and adults.
Need to call family or friends? The house is equipped with a telephone. Just pick up a calling card. High speed internet is only a mile up the beach in Akumal.
Imagine yourself swaying in a hammock under the beach Palapa or relaxing in a pool-side lounge, looking out to the turquoise ocean, enjoying the gentle breeze and the rustle of natural palms. Cruise the bay in the supplied sea kayaks. Try a guided fishing tour, snorkel trip or scuba dive for an exciting day. Heaven might be a copy of this!
If you prefer an even higher perch for afternoon sunning, evening cocktails or star gazing at night, take the spiral stairway to the panoramic roof for a fantastic view of the surrounding ocean and jungle. You can even sleep under the stars!
Continental breakfast of toast, butter and jam, cereal and sweet rolls with coffee, juice, and milk will be served Monday through Friday by the maid who is an excellent cook. Home cooked Mexican meals can be prepared and served for you with a minimum of 24 hours notice. Upon request and minimum of 48 home notice, a free meal will be provided with reservations of seven days or more.
Villa Margarita has absolutely everything you need for a memorable vacation in the tropical paradise known as Riviera Maya.
