Las Villas Akumal

Could serve some eggs at breakfast. Scrambled would be easy enough to do

Very clean hotel close to the beach, staff was friendly and polite. Quiet and relaxing place, always found a lounge chair at the beach. Used their kayak and went snorkeling. Numerous restaurants were a 15 minute beach walk or we ate at the hotel restaurant.

Perfect place away from local crowds but still close to everything. I cannot wait for my next vacation there.

Rocky but very serene and low-key beach, great staff, nice big comfy rooms, convenient restaurant onsite, and the main beach is just relaxing hike up the coast. Definitely would recommend and stay there again!

Right on the beach with excellent snorkelling! We had a lovely stay - apartments spacious and cool, verandah was large with a view of the ocean and only a few meters from the surf! Lovely walk along the beach to the little town of Akumal for groceries & curios. Staff were always friendly and helpful! Highly recommend this quite little spot for a relaxing holiday!

We really enjoyed our stay at Las Villas Akumal. We've stayed at resorts in the area before, and were happy to not be at an all-inclusive this time. The size of the 1 bedroom was impressive. It's like having your own house on the beach! It was an easy walk to Akumal for food and activities. We also had a rental car, and it was an easy drive to cenotes, Tulum, and anywhere else we wanted to go. Loved it!

Excellent condo-like property. Clean, quiet; spacious rooms; terrific staff. Only negative is the hotel is a bit remote from other things to do in Akumal, so guests need a car. Cabs available but pricey. Can walk along beach to nearby Akumal Bay resort area about 20 minute walk.

Exceptional experience, and a great upgrade. We were suppose to be in a one bedroom suite, without a view of the ocean. We noticed the one bedroom suits when we got there, those suites are like garden apartments, facing away from the ocean. Our upgrade room had a wonderful ocean view, very spacious, and perfectly peaceful. It was actually a three bedroom suite that had the smaller bedroom doors locked. We were so close to the beach you could throw a stone to hit the sea. The Beach was beautiful, clean, and very romantic. Akumal Bay is a short walk north up the beach, it took 15 minutes, including our sight seeing. Bring water shoes. The restaurant upstairs is outstanding, great affordable food (except for breakfast), good service, and fantastic ambiance. Seems breakfast is more expensive everywhere down there.

Close to beach with lots of turtle activity. Isolated with limited facilities. Restaurant not great. Staff friendly and helpful but limited knowledge of English. Masses of mosquitoes and no nearby shop to buy repellant or bite cream.

WOW, what a way to start a vacation. I am befuddled as to why this hotel is so highly rated based on our horrible experience. We arrived at the "villas", only to learn it is a TINY, deserted building right off of the main highway. When we arrived at around 7pm, the place was completely deserted... as in not a single person was there except for the lone front desk woman. That should have been the first red flag. We checked in through a plastic, slotted motel window (in retrospect, this should have been the second red flag). As she walked us to the room, we could barely breathe because of an incredibly intense sulfur smell, apparently due to bad plumbing. We came around a corner, only to learn that our "beach front villa" was in the BASEMENT, with a single small window looking into concrete. The room itself was filthy - dirt everywhere, cockroaches in the bathroom... we didn't think it could get worse. We then learned the alleged "great location" was in fact the middle of no where. You are over 30 min walk from ANYTHING (food, water, restaurants, etc). Realizing how horrible our situation, we immediately called Expedia and they were able to find us a new hotel. NET-NET: DO NOT STAY HERE unless you have a fondness for sleeping with creepy critters and enjoy filthy, deserted motels.
