Akumal Breakers - South Akumal Beach

Our stay ay Akumal Breakers exceeded my expectations. Walking out the sliding doors into the pool and straight to the ocean....with a stop along the way for a massage on the beach. Can’t imagine anything better. The house was beautiful and fit our needs very comfortably- 5 adults and 3 children. We all agreed after walking along the beach that it was the best house and best location.

We stayed here for 5 days in March...4 adults and 3 kids. The house was really great and in a great location. It was such a nice, quiet setting in Akumal Sur....away from the more crowded beaches and condo complexes in Akumal but definitely close enough to walk...especially if you want to head down to see the turtles. Another big difference vs. the main beach in Akumal was the amount of seaweed. There was very little seaweed accumulation on the beach in front of the house....whereas in Akumal, there were crews of people working each day to take it away in wheelbarrows.

The drive to Tulum is no more than 20 minutes, so very convenient if you want to do a 1/2 day trip and not lose a full day to visit. We actually spent one day visiting Tulum, Solomon Bay (for lunch) and a cenote (Sac Actun) all in one day. There are several cenotes close to Akumal.

We loved the fact that we could snorkel right from the home’s beachfront. We also really enjoyed use of the kayaks and paddle boards. We ate 3 times away from the house (Taverna Akumal once and La Buena Vida twice) and would highly recommend both locations. We would also highly recommend asking Mirna to cook a meal at least once. She cooked 2 nights for us...chicken and pork pibil one night and Chile rellenos the other night. The food was all delicious.

Mirna and Luis are fantastic and were so helpful for any questions / needs we had, whether it be to get a taxi (to Tulum / airport), cleaning, cooking, etc.

We would definitely recommend Akumal Breakers.

This is a lovely villa on the beach with all the amenities for a great family vacation. Quiet and peaceful beach away from large resorts. Marina and Luis maintain this villa with care. They also cooked some great meals for us.

Wish I was still at Akumal Breakers enjoying the beauty of the sand and the sun w/ my family. Our group consensus is that this villa did NOT disappoint on any level! The description on-line is accurate and we actually think that it is impossible to convey the perfection of this home. There were 7 in our group, ranging in age from 23-57. We mostly relaxed at the villa...sunning, paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkeling, playing in the sand, napping in the hammock, staring into the gorgeous cove, watching the birds (osprey, pelicans, gulls...) dive for fish. There are so many places to relax outside at the villa, that we spent very little time indoors. We ate dinner away from the villa twice (Gitano in Tulum and La Buena Vida in Akumal). We had Mirna prepare her famous pork pibil one night and another night she prepared 3 appetizers for our meal (ceviche, quac, and pico). One day the guys fly fished in the flats (thru Pesca Maya) and the gals shopped in Tulum. We rented a suburban (Hertz) for our group and that was GREAT!! The villa's in a small gated community w/ security at the entrance. We felt safe 100%! We used the grocery store delivery service (for food and beer) that the owner suggested and we stopped at the grocery store in Playa Del Carmen for our liquor/water/sodas; could have gotten all through the delivery service but I didn't know what everyone wanted when I was ordering the food.

Things we are glad we brought: Einstein Bagels (a breakfast comfort food), a wireless speaker for beach tunes, lots of sunscreen and hats, water shoes, polarized sunglasses, pepto bismal (a must...not gonna lie!)

Things we wish we had brought: snorkels/masks/fins--we had to purchase them there & they are way $$$$!(fins aren't necessary but helped me--I'm the old mama), pool floats with which to bob/lounge in the ocean water

Thing we brought that we didn't need: too many clothes/shoes!

Things we love about Akumal Breakers: the weather, the villa, the relaxed pace, the villa staff (Mirna and Luis) who take care of you and the villa everyday very inconspicuously (you can personalize the service and schedule them based on your preferences for privacy); we appreciated their professionalism everyday. And lastly, we love that Lunda shares her home w/ others! Thanks so much and thanks for being a great communicator. Such thorough, timely and helpful info.

And a tiny heads up: the bedroom curtains are not blackout curtains..rise and shine amigos!

Loved our stay there. The house is gorgeous, beautiful location and the caretakers are great!
