Casa Magica

Our family of 9, including 2 grandchildren 9 and 11, had an outstanding week at Casa Magica! The gorgeous hacienda style house was beautifully built and designed; it was even more beautiful than anticipated! Patio furniture has been updated and we made good use of it!
The location of the house was the best on the beach, in our opinion! Quiet end of Jade Bay and a beautiful sandy beach right out the door! We took full advantage of the two paddle boards and the kayaks and had six full days of family fun. The water was calm enough for our grandkids to learn to snorkel!
The house and property was very well maintained by Marcos (brought us fresh coconuts!)and Reyna; Gustavo made us feel right at home and part of the family, chefs Rossy and Adriana made two amazing dinners, and Maria and Martina at Akumal Villas helped with all the arrangements and transportation.
Casa Magica made for a perfect Thanksgiving and multiple birthday celebration place and we would all love to make it a tradition!

We had an amazing vacation at Casa Magica! The location is stunning – a beautiful sandy Beach right in front of the house, leading to perfect blue green waters. The house itself is immaculate and very spacious, with comfortable beds and pillows. The kids loved the backyard and there were plenty of places for everyone to lounge. The pool was also utilized almost every minute of our stay!
Marcos and Reina took great care of us while we were there, and Chef Mauricio and his brother Carlos made delicious food during the week. Any minor hiccups we encountered were immediately addressed by Gustavo, the house manager.
We could not have enjoyed ourselves more, and we hope to visit again! Thank you!

We just returned from a wonderful week at Casa Magica. The house is spacious, airy and beautiful. There was plenty of room for our party of 9 adults and 2 kids.

We rented a car from Cancun airport (which took a surprisingly long time, despite having a reservation). We stopped at Sam's Club in Playa del Carmen for groceries on the way in- very convenient and well stocked. (For a later grocery stop, we went to Chedraui in Tulum, which has everything.)
The kitchen is well appointed and well stocked for any kind of cooking or baking you wish to do.

The beach is lovely, but very rocky. The area around the villa is not great for swimming but you could walk down the beach and enter the water closer to Akumal town. It's a good idea to have some shoes for the rocky beach- even flip flops will work for a walk along the water.

In any case, we spent a lot of time in the pool, which was great. The location is so gorgeous that most of us lost all ambition to visit other beaches, cenotes or Mayan ruins, though we did see the ruins at Tulum, about 20 mins away.

The house staff, Marcos and Reina, are exceptional. Reina kept the house spotless and Marcos kept the property in great shape. Both are really wonderful people and nice to have around. Marcos very kindly brought us fresh coconuts each day.

We hired chef Emilio and his sous chef Esteban for 4 dinners. They managed to accommodate all of our dietary requirements and made delicious and creative local cuisine for us. They also were a great presence at home. Best of all, they left us leftovers for the next day lunch that were always a hit!

We would love to go back!

We loved casa magica. It has a great kitchen. The common area is not huge but fine. Pool and location great although soulemein bay may have softer sand. Bedrooms are equally large and have en suite bathrooms so no fighting about where one sleeps. The guest house could be more inviting by adding creature comforts and color/decorating similar to main house so one would have really 5 equal bedrooms. Marcus who manages on site answers all questions and really helps to guide to resources. Rayna housekeeps and is lovely. We had professional food package so Emilio Talacon and his assistant Esteban were amazing and flexible. The food was abundant, creative and fabulous. We would have liked a more comfortable 2 person kayak as no one found existing one comfortable. We had paddle boards and a one person kayak available as well. The staff at the main office— Maria and Martina were immediately responsive to find really great yoga and massage resources. Top notch management co.

Beautiful property - perfect for our family vacation.
