Beautiful home

We loved our stay. Roger and Fabiola (and Scott) were lovely to work with. The house is fabulous - the pool is lovely and the ability to walk to the lagoon to snorkel everyday was our favorite! There are restaurants about 10 min up the road but everything else is a bit of drive. We really enjoyed La buena vida in Akumal - good food great beach view! We had a wonderful time!

Reviewer Comments: Beautiful property, we used every part of it. The upstairs bar was a favourite hang out spot for some and pool side for others. It was quiet and clean and modern, there was no dishwasher which for large groups could be inconvenient. The pictures were accurate. Scott was wonderful and great at communicating. It was a very enjoyable stay. A short walk to the lagoon, gave free access to wonderful and safe snorkeling.

The house itself has elegant contemporary design and high-quality building materials which really elevate the feel. We were extremely well taken care of by the whole team at Akumal Direct. Roger and Fabiola did an excellent job all around - from cooking to cleaning to accommodating our small grocery requests. Highly recommend this Villa!

Fantastic Villa

Our stay at Villa de Paz exceeded our expectations. The Villa is nicer than the photos. Access to the lagoon was also wonderful and refreshing. There are beautifully maintained paths around the lagoon that are wonderful to wander. The gated community was meticulously maintained and lush. The management company at Akumal Direct takes care of you from the moment you book to check out. They helped us arrange a chef from Daveed Cooking Services to come to the villa so we could have cooking lessons which was amazing. I would not hesitate to recommend Villa de Paz to anyone. You will want a rental car, it is a great location and not far from anything but driving is a must to get groceries and overall explore the Mayan Riviera. We will be back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Tough to overstate how incredible this experience was. The house was spectacular, the team was responsive at all hours, fluently bilingual, able to assist with any request, and provided awesome customer service. The location of the home is truly ideal, walkable to lagoon (snorkeling!), super super secure gated mini-neighborhood with controlled entry and 24/7 guardhouse. The house is decorated / furnished to perfection, wonderful for hosting. Really was the best experience I've ever had with home rentals, will absolutely be using them again. THANK YOU!

The house was truly incredible, it was kept clean the entire time by the housekeeper and the pool was spotless every morning. The host was very responsive and accommodated us on every request. I cannot recommend this place enough and would love to stay here again in the future. It is in a great location that is secluded but there is a lagoon for snorkeling and swimming a short walk away as well as a GoMart up the street for any snacks and alcohol you might need. The group that runs the neighborhood provided us with transportation (we had to pay but the rate was cheaper than any others we got quoted) and were quick to respond to any requests we had that involved transport. Truly an amazing week here!

You will need a rental car as it is secluded but that is what we loved about it. The staff also cooks which was nice on nights we wanted to hang out and not go anywhere.

The only downside was constant construction next door and the noise and lack of privacy.

If anything our pool privacy was not perfect because of the home being built next to the home and people working daily right above the pool area. But we understand people need to work and more beautiful homes are being built for people to enjoy their vacations. As far as the home in general it was perfect for our vacation, hoping to return next year.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay in Villa De Laz was the tropical getaway we needed. The house has every amenity you need to feel right at home or better. The layout is perfect to go through the days progressions. One by one we’d wake and make our way to the kitchen for coffee and stepping over to the pool or living room area. This gave couples a chance to enjoy have their privacy. Then we’d rally and go to Akumal Bay, XpuHa or Xcacel for a beach day and return to have dinner made at home. We also took a whole day visit Valladolid and the caretakers had left food ready for us to warm up as we requested for when we got back. The roof top deck is AMAZING and a great place to hangout the afternoon for gorgeous views of the sunsetting over the jungle. The property has plenty of different living spaces to provide each one some quiet alone time so we never felt like we were spending too much time together. Of course, there was the issue of having to return home but we’re already looking forward to our next trip.

Great family escape

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented Villa de Paz for a week for a family vacation. Four couples, including two with young kids, were comfortably accommodated by four large bedrooms, each with a large private bathroom. Common areas are very spacious, both inside and upstairs. Kitchen had everything we needed. Gas grill outside was the fanciest I have ever seen. Well-equipped, and air-conditioned fitness room was an added value for some. Private outdoors with a nice swimming pool was the hit with everybody. We spent a significant fraction of our time in the pool. The villa has a nice contemporary design, is well equipped and maintained. The area felt safe, with a guarded gate at the entrance. The villa is surrounded by a jungle, though a new villa is being developed on one side behind the fence. The place feels secluded and quiet. We took advantage of the maintenance staff cooking for us twice, and both times we were very satisfied with the food quality. We could communicate in English with them. It was an ideal place for a family escape. While for a sandy beach access, you will need to take a short drive to Akumal, a great swimming/snorkeling area is a short work along a well-maintained foot path to Yal Ku (underground river discharging to a lagoon). Free access to this lagoon is a nice perk of this rental. I have rented from Akumal Direct many times before. They are very reliable, no nonsense and easy to communicate with. I strongly recommend them for all your Akumal rentals.
