Fantasea

Been renting ever year since 2017. Always perfect from the location to the house to the views to the staff to the management company. See you next year!

Our group of eleven (two families) had a wonderful stay here. The location is quiet as you’re in between two beaches - it’s a relatively short walk to either beach, although neither one feels like you have your own space to take due to the resorts or homes there - and we felt safe. The villa is large, very clean, and the beds are good. The groundskeeper and housekeeper couple were wonderful - amazing service, super friendly, and via Google Translate, able to communicate well enough. The pool was used and enjoyed a lot. We did the sailing excursion (Robinson tour) and a day at Xel-Ha (water adventure and eco park) and Kantun-Chi (series of five cenotes) and loved them all. Tulum is a short drive away to see ruins, Paradise Beach, etc. The Chedraui grocery stores in Playa Del Carmen, Puerto Aventuras and Tulum were all safe bets for us. Be mindful of water and food cleaning procedures as our group did become affected by local bacteria - bring your travel medication, Imodium, Gravel, etc. The communication and service from Akumel Villas was prompt and always helpful. Thanks for a great week!

Any where in Akumal is 5 star, we been to Tulum and playa de Carmen and by far Akumal is the best. Both towns are crowed with tourists. Akumal town restaurants turtle bay cafe is 5 star.

A simply breathtaking home with unforgettable views from every floor to ceiling window. The caretakers are wonderful warm caring people that leave the house exceptionally clean and maintained while respecting your privacy and making you feel at home. Every morning we drank Mexican coffee and ate local pastries as we watched the sunrise from the ocean, explored the rocky tide pools and snorkeled among the amazing fish ridden reefs directly in front of the house. We walked the sandy beaches to all the happenings in akumal and took the 15 minute drive into tulum to visit our favorite street vendors. Every night we finished with a sunset roof party and then a romantic drink with my wife as we watched the distant cruise ship sail bye. This truly is our dream home.

In January my wife and myself had a wedding in Akumal. We opted to rent this villa to provide accomodations to some of our family that made the trip for the wedding. We also hosted a wedding rehearsal party here the night before our wedding. The place was absolutely beautiful! Everything about our time here was special. We will definitely be back!

This is a very nice huge house in a great location. I love how the large windows face the ocean and open wide, allowing the breeze to circulate through the house. While there is no air conditioning in the common areas, opening the windows cooled the place down significantly and the room A/C units were nice for sleeping. We didn't spend a whole lot of time at the house during the day; the house is fairly close to Tulum, where we spent plenty of time during our stay. The caretakers were awesome: Estella cut up fruit for us every morning and had coffee ready. Mioses kept the place **** and span and cleaned the pool often. They are always willing to help if there are any problems (the circuit breaker tripped once, causing the water pressure to drop, but Mioses had it fixed in about an hour. The property manager, Rhett, was very helpful in providing suggestions regarding safe ATM locations, shopping locations, etc. We are a family of 5 and really enjoyed Xel-Ha, Xplor Adventures, and Sian Ka'an (some awesome beaches, though some of them are VERY polluted the closer to Punta Allen we got). I highly recommend this place.

My family had an excellent time at Villa Fantasea. When we arrived, we were surprised to find that the house was even better and larger than it looked in the photos! A highlight was watching the sunrise from bed each morning - a spectacular view over the ocean.

The layout worked well for our group - we had a parent with limited mobility who took the 1st floor room, so there were no steps for her to navigate between her room and the main eating and dining areas. Unfortunately the elevator was out of service, and navigating the stairs to get to the 1st floor (entire floor above ground level) was too tiring for her to leave the house during the stay. In the future, we'd verify that the elevator works so she can enjoy the area more.

The second floor has three bedrooms, which were excellent, clean, and had amazing views.

The third floor has a suite with bathroom, and the "sixth bedroom". This was the only unfortunate part of the layout - the only bathroom this bedroom has access to is a 1/2 bath on the 1st floor. The description implies that it can share the 3rd floor bath, but that bath does not have a door between the bath and bedroom - so anyone using the bathroom has a direct view into the bedroom and vice versa. It worked OK for our teen, but I would consider looking into adding doors in the 3rd floor bath so it could truly be shared between the two bedrooms.

The location was perfect for us - just a few minutes' drive to town, and close to the cafes in Tulum. It was quiet and private, which was prefect for the relaxation we sought. The caregivers went above and beyond in constantly cleaning our rooms and the kitchen, which was no small task as we cooked daily. The manager was available and gave a good introduction to the house and area.

Nice place, very helpful staff.

We recently spent 1 weeek at Villa Fantasea. The house was absolutely beautiful - very spacious, modern, clean, well appointed with spectacular views from all points in the house. The caretakers were especially attentive and made our stay comfortable. Missing it already and wishing to go back soon!

Most everything was excellent. A few more towel racks and/or hooks would be helpful. The step outside the elevator downstairs resulted in a few trips. The views were beautiful. Sunset watching from the top deck was lovely. The lap pool was enjoyable. The rooms were very comfortable. (A desk somewhere might be nice)
The staff (couple) were lovely - quiet, respectful, and helpful and just very very pleasant!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, Thank you
