Amazing stay! Felt like family welcoming us to create a perfect vacation. Daniel and his family were sweet as could be and worked hard to make our stay perfect. Finding us transportation, activities, great food, even making a homemade flan to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. Just above and beyond on every everything!

Second Stay = 5 Stars

This is the second time we have stayed at Casa Iguana, the first was 5 years ago. The property is just as nice as the first time and the location is perfect for both privacy or walking to town. Daniel the on site care taker has been there for a very long time and is always very helpful. Daniel made dinner for us 4 nights and the food is just as good or better than any restaurant we have found. I am sure this will not be out last stay at Casa Iguana.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was a perfect place of beauty for our family to vacation together. The grounds were covered with gardens, plenty of places to sit, talk, eat, and have fun together. We loved the privacy, the beach, sunrises, and the many places to walk to (restaurants, ice cream, coffee, sandy beach). We are grateful to have found this place!

Amazing week!

The property was well kept. It was a nice surprise that housekeeping came daily as part of the rental price. The cook, Danny prepared the most fabulous meals each night. The beds were comfortable, the AC worked well and overall the property was a great fit for a large group or family with young adults needing a little of their own space. The only draw back is lack of direct beach access right from the house, it is very rocky directly from the property but beach access is just a few minutes away.

Beautiful Grounds in a Perfect Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Akumal Direct did an excellent job accommodating our group of 9. When we found out that the original place we booked was overrun with sargassum, they were quick to find us other options. We ended up at Casa Iguana and it was perfect. The grounds look just like they are pictured. Our group loved the pool, the volleyball area, the palapa and the outdoor table to eat at. Daniel made us several meals and helped us tremendously with a few things we needed help with. The couch and chair in the casitas really does need to be replaced since they kept a beach towel over the back of the couch to cover up the wear and tear. It's pretty faded, torn and very uncomfortable to sit on. Other than that, everything else was very nice. The location was perfect and so close to restaurants and the Akumal Dive Shop. We rented golf carts so it was very easy to get around the town. The house does not have beach access but we were able to get to the beach at the Akumal Dive Shop very easily. The pool was beautiful and always clean. The furniture around the pool was in excellent condition. We especially loved the palapa and the hammocks in the evening. Honestly, what made this rental so wonderful was Daniel. Upon our arrival (We got in around 10:30pm) Daniel had ingredients to make us guacamole and it was amazing! He and Patricia (house keeper) made us an amazing breakfast one morning and then we had Daniel make us dinner one night. His wife made us homemade corn tortillas. It was enough food for us to eat another night. Daniel set up a fishing trip for our guys and helped get us transportation to Xelha when our other fell through. All in all, we had a fabulous time in Akumal and at Casa Iguana.

Perfect Spring Break

We were a group of 9 people, 4 adults and 5 kids and the property worked out great. It is in a safe area, close to several restaurants. We went to La Buena Vida 5 times and also really enjoyed a dinner at the Taverna. Also visited the Turtle Cafe several times. Highly recommend all 3 of them. Manuel was very helpful, he prepared breakfast and cooked a delicious dinner for us. He also helped us with arrangements for a day trip to Tilum and the cenotes. The kids played in the sand volleyball court and the iguanas were an attraction. We felt safe. The property is beautiful and I would return in a heart beat. Covid testing was easy - there was a small, walk-in testing place in town. I think we paid $30 per person and got results within 2 hours.

Fantastic!!

Every year my family of 12 (6 adults/6 kids) picks a different place to meet & enjoy time together. This year we picked Casa Iguana in Akumal & it was our best location to date! Casa Iguana is a short walk to Akumal Bay & Half Moon Bay and if you just feel like relaxing, you can lounge by the pool or in the hammocks overlooking the ocean. There are places to be in the sun, or the shade & the air conditioning throughout the casita & main house kept us cool while inside. One of the most pleasant surprises was Daniel. If you stay here you MUST have him cook for you. Yes, it is convenient, but most importantly, he is an amazing chef & will treat you to the most delicious meals you will have during your entire stay in Akumal. He is also an invaluable source of information & not only helped us find a fishing boat/guide, he helped clean & cook the fish that we caught. Additionally, Alicia worked every day to keep Casa Iguana clean and in order. Our entire reservation from start to finish was straight forward & easy. Every question I had (& I had many) was answered quickly & thoroughly by the staff at Akumal Direct Reservations. If I could give Casa Iguana more than 5 stars, I would!

Amazing secluded beach getaway!

Communication was top notch! We got in late, around 9 pm and the manager Daniel was there with a smile and ready to make guacamole and drinks. The property was large, clean, beautiful, and conveniently located near beaches and businesses- ALL while being extremely private and secure. I recommend a car as there is A LOT to see and do between Cancun and Tulum. Akumal is right in the center. A beautiful grocery store Chedrauli (like Target) was right off main freeway 9 min up the road. Tulum was 30 min south and Playa del Carmen was 30 min North. We took the ferry from Playa to Cozumel for the day and snorkeled all day. There is a secret Tulum beach with a bar and chairs called appropriately, Beach Club Bar - $5 a chair and white sand, excellent food, sun and shade- the best. There are Cenotes everywhere. The best restaurants in Akumal to the right of the property(5 min walk) La Buena Vida and to the left (10 min walk) Turtle Bay Cafe and the Pizzeria ( high end pizza,pasta, wine, etc. Daniel and Alicia take care of the house and will help set up tours, meals, and keep the property a perfect 10 at all times! Having hammocks overlooking the ocean, your own pool, outdoor eating, and plenty of indoor space made this family trip so special. Can't wait to return!!

A most wonderful stay - Feb. 8-22, 2020

What an amazing trip! We absolutely LOVED our stay at Casa Iguana! We can't thank Daniel enough for all of his delicious meals and snacks (especially the guacamole...yum!), for organizing golf carts and a fishing trip, his helpful advice and information, his patient Spanish lessons and just being so darned accommodating. Thank you Daniel, you are a lovely man!! We had rented a car, but with the easy and convenient walkability of Casa Iguana's location, and having Daniel always happily willing to arrange transportation for us, we found it to be an unnecessary expense. The nearby beaches, numerous restaurants with delicious food offerings, shops and groceries stores are all within very easy walking distance. Extremely convenient! Never for a moment did we feel unsafe in Casa Iguana or Akumal. Casa Iguana has it's own security (thank you to them for their long nights keeping watch) and we found the people of Akumal so friendly! Another big thank you to Alicia for keeping the house and casita so clean - we loved being greeted by her big, beautiful smile every morning. The house and casita were perfect for our group of 7. We loved the outdoor space - especially the large outdoor table for family game nights and morning coffee. We enjoyed spending time by the pool & relaxing in the hammocks by the ocean. We are definitely all looking forward to returning to Casa Iguana next year. Let the countdown begin! Gracias! The Heidts, Keys & Ristes Alberta, Canada

Casa Iguana was perfect for us

The property includes 2 separate little houses (casitas) with two bedrooms and two bathrooms and a kitchen in each one. This worked well for us because we had two families with children and bedtimes were different. There was plenty of space and no difficulty with sleep patterns. The kitchen in the principal house could use a new stove and the sofa in the casita should be recovered in a fabric that does not absorb humidity. I would also recommend more towel racks for hanging wet towels inside. These were very minor issues. The grounds were stunning and that is most important because in a place like Akumal you want to be outside as much as possible. There were two outdoor eating spaces where all ten of us ate most of our meals. The grill didn't work, but we didn't feel like going to all that effort anyway. The pool was about 6 steps up, so the little ones were slowed down a little and we felt that was safer. The palapa overlooking the ocean and the starry nights was a wonderful place to meditate, have a happy hour, or watch the sunrise. In between the pool and the palapa was a volleyball space which the kids loved for playing with their toys and running around. The property was enclosed by a nice wall and gate which we were also thankful for because the children couldn't run into the road and it cut down on road noise immensely. We felt quite contained and secure. Dani and Patti were available anytime and were great cooks and problem solvers.

Azul Riviera and Casa Iguana review

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 reservations at Casa Iguana the week after hurricane Beryl came through. We were assured the house was not damaged. After our flight landed in Cancun, I was informed by Scott from Akumal Direct Reservations that Casa Iguana lost power and they were moving us to Azul Riviera. They updated our transportation and we had a seamless arrival after a grocery store stop (highly recommended going to the big grocery store on the way to Akumal as the grocery stores in Akumal are small). Azul Riviera was wonderful - private pool and backyard had a private entrance to the Ya-Zul Lagoon (no need to pay entrance fee). We snorkeled there daily. Miguel was so kind! My boys LOVED the loft beds. The bedrooms are air-conditioned. Highly recommend asking Akumal Direct Reservations for a golf cart rental so you can get into town. Unfortunately, we lost power on the afternoon of our last day. I informed Scott and he was great in giving us updates. After a few hours and no sign of power coming back on, he offered us the original house as it had power now (Casa Iguana). We put our luggage on the golf cart and made it to Casa Iguana at dusk. Daniel welcomed us and gave us a tour. We only were there for the night, but it was stunning. The private driveway/courtyard area is peaceful and the pool was a hit with the kids. The view of the ocean was amazing. There are 2 casitas that are both fully air conditioned. Wifi only works in one though. I wish we had more time to enjoy Casa Iguana!!! If we only had stayed here, I would have still rented a golf cart as my kids might not have enjoyed the hot walk back from town in July (hot!!). Our transportation through Akumal Direct Reservations was on time. So overall the company was great adjusting our stay - thank you Scott! Both locations were fantastic and truly memorable. Both Miguel and Daniel (and their wives) are fantastic and take amazing care of the properties. Thank you for taking such great care of us!

Ein perfekter Aufenthalt in Akumal!

Wir hatten das große Vergnügen, unseren Urlaub in einem wunderschönen Ferienhaus in Akumal zu verbringen, und können nur schwärmen! Das Haus selbst war sauber, geräumig und mit allem ausgestattet, was man für einen erholsamen Aufenthalt braucht. Aber was diesen Aufenthalt wirklich unvergesslich gemacht hat, war die außergewöhnliche Gastfreundschaft von Daniel. Daniel war von Anfang an immer zur Stelle und hat sich rund um die Uhr um all unsere Anliegen gekümmert. Egal, ob es um die Buchung von Touren, die Organisation von Transfers oder einfach nur um Restaurant- und Strandtipps ging – Daniel hatte immer die besten Empfehlungen parat. Er hat uns sogar geholfen, ein Taxi zu finden, wann immer wir eines brauchten, und hat uns stets mit einem freundlichen Lächeln empfangen. Seine Hilfsbereitschaft und sein Engagement, unseren Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten, haben uns wirklich beeindruckt. Wir fühlten uns von Anfang an wie zu Hause und konnten uns vollkommen entspannen, weil wir wussten, dass Daniel sich um alles kümmern würde. Wir können dieses Ferienhaus und den großartigen Service von Daniel jedem empfehlen, der einen entspannten und sorglosen Urlaub in Akumal verbringen möchte. Vielen Dank, Daniel, für all deine Hilfe und für die unvergessliche Zeit, die wir hier erleben durften! Wir kommen definitiv wieder!

Perfect Family House in Akumal

Our family of 9 had the best time at Casa Iguana. Communication ahead of time and while we were there was fantastic. The house and the casita were the perfect fit for my family. Two primary bedrooms in the main house and two rooms in the casita so we could split the boys and girls up. Daniel (the caretaker/cook) and Patty (the house cleaner/cook) were incredible. They really added so much to our trip. The breakfast they made every morning was so good. And Daniel cooked us dinner one night (highly recommend!). They became a part of our family and even came out to eat with us one night. The house is in such a great spot in Akumal. You can walk to La Buena vida, Jungla, La Lunita, the Beach, the shops, Taverna, and everything else you need in Akumal Beach. Thank you for everything!

Casa Iguana - 2023

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We certainly had a good time and the location and property lot is quite good as we come to this area every year. We spent a lot of time in the pool area which is quite sizable and modern.The main house is very clean and well maintained. It would be better if there was a larger common area in the house. The 2nd villa out back is in serious need of update or replacement. All three thatch roofs are currently covered with tarps and you can still see holes in some areas of the roof and even some cracks in the walls let light in. It smelled musty there were some bugs in there too. It could be a great space with serious refresh. The step into the kitchen for this space is a hazard.There were a couple occasions where strangers walked through the property from the beach, so private property signs are needed. I should not have to go out to the far roofed area by the water and ask someone why are they there.The staff was quite nice and the meals were good made by Danny. For the price and what was available when we booked it was adequate at best. It has potential with more updates, but my group would not rebook here until there were updates.

Tropical Dream

The property was well kept with lots of room to roam from inside the main home to the casita to the outdoors. The pool was clean and sparkling with plenty of chairs and loungers even beach towels. Great location to see wildlife, dine at delicious restaurants, have beach time and most of these are in walking distance. Wonderful small community, with friendly helpful people. This place is perfect for those who need extra help and don't want to be alone. It has two people one of whom lives on property and another who's there during the day, both are always around and wanting to help. Daniel will cook for you all you have to do is ask. We so enjoyed our vacation and look forward to returning!

Wonderful 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: After years of visiting Akumal and usually renting condos, this year we opted for a villa. We couldn’t have been happier! Daniel and Patricia were wonderful as our on site staff. We loved having a pool to ourselves especially during Covid times. The property was beautiful and the lot was nice and large. We loved watching sunrise from the palapa by the water and the gardens of the property were stunning. The men with our group enjoyed interacting with the iguanas and one day a Coati walked across the volley ball court while we were in the pool. The location is perfect and safe. Very little Sargassum on the shore here due to a more rocky beach. The houses were well equipped and comfortable but I personally prefer a less firm pillow than what was provided but I managed just fine. I’m sure if I had requested a medium firm pillow the management wouldn’t have hesitated to provide. They are very responsive.We used both houses for our group and still had rooms more if we needed.We will return to Casa Iguana for our next annual visit to Akumal for sure.
