Perfect location in beautiful Akumal!

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: Fantastic holiday! The house is well maintained both inside and out. The staff is very friendly and nice. The house is cleaned every day, including the beach and yard. The manager is available 24/7 (very nice and professional). The location of the house is amazing! We simply woke up to the sound of the waves of the azure Caribbean Sea. Plus a rooftop swimming pool with a million-dollar view. The wifi is a bit weak, but you don't go to such a beautiful place to sit in front of the TV or with a phone in your hand. A beautiful and safe place for holidays. The only drawback of this place is that we couldn't stay there forever. Thank you Rhett for all the tips and recommendations of great restaurants and places to see. We hope to meet again someday.

Best location on the Riviera Maya

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: This is our second tome staying at Akumal Sunrise, and hopefully not the last! The house was perfect for our group (two couples) and has everything you need for a wonderful beach vacation. The location is fantastic and the rooms are great, but what really makes this house special are the outdoor areas; the private beach with multiple seating options, as well as the rooftop pool are where it's at. To top it off, the staff are wonderful and courteous.

Exceptional! The view from the rooftop is stunning!

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: Quiet and relaxing spot, exactly as described, away from it all, perfect for our family getaway. The staff were incredible and kept the place spotless and the grounds were very well maintained. The rooftop pool is stunning, we spent hours just enjoying the views and making the most of every moment.Very close to Akumal Village for some great dining options and also easy to get to local attractions such as the cenotes and local parks, we went to Xel-ha which is highly recommended.Lastly Akumal Villas were outstanding in their customer service, from Rhett the property manager, to Maria and Martina in Reservations, who helped us with a car rental and also airport transfers for other family members. They were available 7 days a week and offered us some great tips and advise. Definitely 100% recommend this special place and hope to come back again!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy

Sunrise Paradise

Unlike some VRBO listings this Villa was exactly as advertised. The staff took care of us as good or better that 4 star hotels. From start to finish it was a great experience and will rent this property again. Thanks Teresa and Matt Hall

**** on Earth

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: As soon as we arrived we realized this house was not worth the 10k we paid for the week. The sheets, pillows, towels we all old and gross. Most of the doors were almost impossible to open and close and were old and rotting. The beach is so rocky you can't walk on in without water shoes. There is NOTHING nearby for food etc. The host didn't tell us we needed to rent a car but we absolutely needed to so our husbands spent 2 full days tracking down 2 cars all over Mexico. We paid another $1700 for the cars. The first night we realized that the air conditioning in most of rooms wasn't working so most of us were extremely hot and uncomfortable. The entire house smelled like mold but, the worst part was the sewage stench. I personally emailed the host over 30 times, they sent the maintenance men but they couldn't fix the toilet. They mentioned that the people that stayed there the week before us were also complaining about smell and the hosts knew it! This house should have NEVER been rented to us in the condition it was in. We kept the door to the bathroom shut and stuffed a towel under the door but nothing would stop the stench. It made 3 of us very sick. We contacted VRBO and we were told to move out! The host stopped communicating with me so we were forced to evacuate and find a new sanitary place to stay for our last 2 nights. I have rented at least 15 houses through Airbnb + VRBO and this has never happened. My ratings are always excellent for me and from the host. However, this house should be condemned. I believe they knowingly put us in harms way and did not fix any of the issues. We spent a TON of money for a week in Mexico and I can't begin to explain how sad we all are. We had little kids with us so we were left with no other choice but to get them somewhere safe. I have asked for a refund and then some as I know we deserve a DO-OVER but nothing. Do not stay here unless you want to get sick.

March 2019 visit

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: My wife, son, and I spent a week at this property in March 2019. We had stayed in larger groups at other properties in this same stretch of beach, so this was the first time with just us. The area is close to plenty of exploration (Tulum, cenotes, zip-lining, etc.) but this trip we were content taking it easy and spent most of our time within walking distance. There are decent grocery stores, etc. within 20 minute drive to re-stock home base. We felt secure as the vehicle entrance to the stretch of beach is guarded. Seven days of sunshine helped, too, but we had a great time. The place was clean and well laid-out, with plenty of places to relax in shade or sun. The rooftop pool was nice because by afternoon the sun had heated it to a great temp. It is possible to snorkel right off the beach. There is also snorkeling closer to town, which you can get to by walking down the beach about a mile. It is definitely getting more developed in the area, but this stretch of beach remains calm.I'd recommend this place either to another family like ours or even to two couples with young children. There is plenty of space. Our six year old loved it. Property management is responsive and the daily cleaning was more than adequate. We never saw the owner who apparently has the second level, so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. They were talking about adding the second level to rent out with the first level, which would add great flexibility for larger groups.We'd stay here again.

Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2019

Akumal Sunrise is my idea of a vacation

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: If you’re looking for a perfect place to unwind and enjoy a vacation without tourist, Akumal Sunrise is for you. The roof top pool was amazing, the snorkeling out front of the home also amazing with a bonus spot to fly fish north of the property. The house was well maintained and very clean. My family felt very safe in a gated community being close to all of the other amenities the Rivera Maya has to offer. The beach is perfect. We definitely had a piece of Heaven on Earth in this house! Much thanks to Rhett at Akumal Villas for hooking us up.

Great family spot!

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 had a great time, and the property is well named, Sunrise. From the master bed you have a full view of the bay and each morning the sunrise was spectacular. The second bedroom does not have a water view, but our kids slept in the side room with the two twin beds and they had the same great view of the bay. The home is a ground floor unit, it has a nice patio, great place to hang out read, play cards, nap on the covered bed swing, all steps from the beach and the water. You can snorkel directly in front of the home. The owners were present, very nice and offered us great advice on things to do. There is a husband and wife team who care for the property, they clean inside and out everyday, and even did some laundry which was a pleasant surprise. We made breakfast every morning, and when we came back from the beach or sight seeing the dishes were done, and the beds were made!A rental car is needed. We enjoyed the quiet residential neighborhood, but going to restaurants and shopping requires a car. We spent a lot of time in Tulum and visiting cenotes, and were always happy to head home to Casa Sunrise.

Sunrise vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. 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 loved ackumal! The home was very nice. But or experience really came together when we asked if we could hire a chef. The owner of the home recommended Jorge Wallace he was not only a wonderful chef but a great man! Jorge lives next store at the torquesa villa. If you are looking for a great chef and someone who knows the area who will give you assistance on your stay he's the best!!!!!

What a great week in Akumal Sunrise!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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 asked the staff at Akumal Villas for a recommendation for our family of 6--we wanted convenient beach access, great snorkeling, a pool and comfortable accommodations. They recommended Akumal Sunrise and it was perfect. Rooftop infinity pool (with an expanded deck about ready to open) has a spectacular 360 view of beach and jungle. The beach is steps from the back door and there are plenty of sun/shade spots in which you can relax. The villa is equipped with a two personkayak which is a lot of fun. The snorkeling is excellent and there is a wide variety of coral and sea life on the various reefs. There was a constant breeze off the water when we were there which was very refreshing but not overwhelming. The house is pretty well equipped and most everything worked well (wifi internet only worked in one room but it worked well in that room). There is a handy man and maid who are both around daily and are very nice and helpful. The property owner, Thiery, lives on the second floor and he also was very friendly and helpful when we had questions. His stepson, Ivan, cooked for us on three nights and we enjoyed both his food and his company. The location is great-- Akumal Beach ( where the sea turtles graze) is only a mile down the road. We went deep sea fishing (caught 4 dorado)and swam with the dolphins in Puerto Aventuras, about 15 minutes north and visited Mayan ruins in Muyil, about an hour South. Muyil is less crowded than Tulum, which is about 20 minutes South, but was much less crowded and the ruins were great. Hit up Mateo's in Tulum for dinner one night and the food and atmosphere were fantastic.Overall, our trip was great. We had a rental car and the driving was easier than I expected (I had never driven in Mexico before). If you are looking for a do it yourself vacation on the Mayan Riviera for 4-6 people, Akumal Sunrise is tough to beat.

Privacy in Paradise

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: The villa was fantastic. The rental is the first floor of the villa and very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and professional. Lots of seaweed on the beach directly in front of villa but did not bother us. Pool and views are breathtaking. A resident pelican would fly over us every evening! You are not allowed to place toilet paper in the toilet but in a trash can. Staff was there in the mornings to take out so we didn't have an issue with this. Bottled water was provided for us which was great. Nearby convenience stores and Tulum about a 15 min drive. The restaurant Carlos & Lalo less than 10 min away-very good! Would stay again if we have the opportunity.

A great discovery!

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 was perfect! The villa is spacious, clean and very functional for a family of 5. This is a good value for money. The rooftop pool was definitely a plus because the temperature was very hot (late May). Having a maid to clean every day was also appreciated.The villa is about 30 minutes from the beautiful beaches of Tulum, 20 minutes from Puerto Aventuras and 5 minutes from Akumal. It is an excellent location. The owners of the villa were there (they live upstairs, which was a surprise!) But they have been very generous in advice for the choice of restaurants, beach clubs in Tulum and for activities (cenotes, Mayan ruins, etc.) Thanks for your valuable advice, Thierry and Jisel!We did snorkeling just in front of the villa and saw many tropical fish, it's amazing!We surely will be back at Villa Sunrise Akumal for an upcoming trip to Mexico!

Location A+

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It's a basic vacation house. Only the first level of the house is available. Two floors up, there is a pool and deck, but no shade. The middle floor is for the owners. The kitchen is randomly supplied with utensils. Two of the 6 stove burners work but don't adjust. The refrigerator does work very well. There are comfortable sitting areas in the home. The artwork all around is wonderful.

Fabulous!

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 had a lovely vacation at Villa Sunrise, and strongly recommend this house for a family or group of friends. The house is intimate, yet perfectly accommodated for our group of six. The photos and description on the website are accurate regarding the space and all amenities. There is ample furniture, all very comfortable, from the beds to the wicker furniture in the living room, plus the swinging bed, lounge chairs, and hammock outside. The location was terrific, allowing for a walk on the beach to Akumal, and a 20 minute drive down to Tulum. There are excellent groceries stores both to the north and the south where we were able to find anything we needed. The kitchen is very well outfitted with practically anything one might need to cook complete meals, with plenty of dishes for a full house. We cooked most all of our own meals on site, and even had guests for dinner several times. Our only complaint is that the knives are not sharp enough. The tiered and beautifully landscaped beachfront provided a visual barrier which us isolated from the limited passing foot traffic. We watched the ocean and sky from sunrise to sunset (on the rooftop), and did some fabulous stargazing at night. Our host, who lives onsite, was accommodating to our special requests, and we found that our initial concern that we would feel watched or crowded was completely unfounded. He was helpful and pleasant when we needed information, but otherwise he was practically invisible. The agents at the management company, Villas Akumal, made the rental process easy, and were forthcoming with a lot of very helpful information to make our arrival seamless. The house was kept immaculately clean and well maintained by Irma and Mario. This is a great place to stay, and we hope to return for another visit soon.

Dissatisfied Cysto

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The owner of the house lives upstairs with his putbull dog which is not discolsed on the website at. In addition to this fact about the pitnull, you have to walk upstairs past the putbull to get to the pool. This is advertised as a house which it is not, it is simply a downstairs apartment. The other fact that is not disclosed is that you cannot swim in front of the house because of the amount of coral, in order to swim you need to walk down the beach about 7 houses to do so. Finally, the oven was not working which was not disclosed to me....the owner put a toaster oven in the kitchen I'm place of the oven. Oh and one more thing, the house has mice.

Easy, breezy vacation!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was exactly what we were looking for and as described: far from the commercial madness of Cancun. It was safe, tranquil, the information provided was accurate, directions we're perfect! A nearby restaurant we enjoyed was La Buena Vida in north Akumal, right on the beach.Although we weren't met by anyone, that was not important. The property was well maintained by Mario, but the home finishes & furniture, small appliances provided, were a bit outdated, basic and worn. We brought our own rafts since the house doesn't provide them, nor kayaks.Overall, it was a great vacation and family members already booked the place for the holidays!
