We rented this villa for our first family vacation to Mexico and had a wonderful time. The furnishings were very comfortable and felt like home. It had every amenity needed. The view was fabulous and the location was convenient. It was an easy walk to the center of town yet far enough away for a peaceful nights sleep. The gated community had everything you needed and was very safe. Everyone we met was pleasant and wonderful to deal with. My family is hooked. The only issue we had was the wifi did not work during our stay and I believe it was an outside issue. It made it slightly inconvenient as we had schoolwork that needed submitting but we went into the center of town and submitted it. When I notified the owner she was very apologetic. Hey it happens no big deal. It made my children more attentive because they weren't constantly on the electronic devices! We brought our own snorkeling equipment and were able to snorkel every day from the beach outside our terrace and loved enjoying the wildlife surrounding the place. My family is already talking about our next trip. If you are looking for an alternative to all inclusive resorts this is the place. We rented a car and toured the ruins at Tulum, swam and interacted with dolphins, sea lions and manatees, swam with the sea turtles on a catamaran trip and at Akumal, and went on a deep sea fishing excursion can hooked 7 sailfish. We didn't accomplish everything we wanted to do but I figure we needed to save something for our next trip down. Also, there was a cleaning service that came into the villa during our stay and changed the linen which was wonderful and the washer and dryer meant I didn't come home to a week's worth of dirty laundry for the family! I had debated over a few different places to rent and am so happy that we chose this villa!
