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: Villa Los Primos was a wonderful place to stay during our Akumal Trip. The property manager Rhett met us the day after we checked in to make sure we had everything and communicate everything we needed to know to navigate the area. Check in was a breeze without any complications. The place was very clean and well stocked. Homemade guacamole and salsa was waiting for us in the refrigerator when we arrived! The neighborhood was gated with a guard (the guards were all so friendly!) and felt really safe. The groundskeeper and housekeeper were both such great people! They kept the place clean and tidy, the pool clean, and the beach raked! We will definitely come back here for our next Mexico trip!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful family time spent at this comfortable beach house. The home was large and spacious, with comfortable bedroom/bathrooms and a fully stocked kitchen. The outdoor space was awesome, we really enjoyed the pool and beach area. The swing bed is the best and the ocean views stunning. Entry to the water on the beach is rocky but perfectly doable with water shoes. Cool snorkling opportunities too. We hired a private chef for some of our meals which was great, and even arranged for massage therapists to come on site. Our host Rhrett gave us a lot of great tips and was super communicative as well. Overall, a very pleasant experience renting with Akumal Properties -- looking forward to returning again soon!

Perfect for Us!

This was quite the gathering with friends and family coming from all over to celebrate my birthday (we won’t say what year - wink). The home was so beautiful, spacious, and authentic. I cannot say enough about the incredible views, hours spent snorkeling and floating in the blue water and fun in the pool. All 11 of us enjoyed it so much. The staff and management added the extra touches and my birthday dinner by Chef Rosi was a great addition. The location is serene but restaurants and bars aren’t that far away. We walked the 30 mins down the beach to all of it. Would love to visit again!

Beautiful beach villa

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 beach villa was absolutely perfect for our family of 9.6 adults and 3 kids. Rosel & Inez worked tirelessly to clean the house and outdoors. They also cooked us a traditional Mexican dish our last night and was delicious, Inez makes the best pico de gallo. She had some pico de gallo and fresh guacamole waiting for us upon arrival. Rhett, the property manager, was also great. I messaged him the first morning we arrived with one of the air conditioners not working and he was there within 10 minutes and got it fixed very quickly.He also provided us with a lot of great information to help us around akumal and gave a lot of ideas for excursions. We had the best time.

Stunning views. Perfect location. Secure and well maintained!

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: Los Primos is a stunning home. It's located on a small, slightly rocky, walkable beach protected by a reef which adds to the quality of snorkeling. Eight ladies spent a week celebrating friendships. Rooms were clean, comfortable with air conditioning, beautiful views and plenty of bathrooms. The kitchen was well equipped, newly remodeled with new appliances. The daily housekeeping was a treat! And the grounds are keep perfectly. The security gate staff were friendly and it was nice to know the security guards patrolled the street and beach constantly. Rhett, the property manager was amazing, and accessible. Thank you so much for your supportive and attentiveness. We enjoyed watching the wildlife and discovering their foot prints every morning on the beach. We highly recommend snorkeling in Yal-La Lagoon, taking a bike ride to snorkel in the cenotes with Bejil-Ha Riviera Maya in Chemuyil and enjoying the Tulum ruins followed by a Pontoon boat snorkeling adventure. Take time to review the two blue information binders provided at the house. Don't miss Lucy's Cafe in Akumal for the best ever ice cream. The binders are a wealth of information. We highly recommend Los Primos!!

Very good!

All was very good and we would stay again. Minor negatives were: no auto dishwasher, ac in bedrooms only, sea weed on beach, must use bottled water for most everything including coffee and teeth brushing. All of this is typical to the area and not uncommon. Overall our family (11 of us) had a great time.

Los Primos Villa in June 2022

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: Los Primos Villas is a beautiful house in a great location. The decor and brick cupola are beautiful and intriguing. The house was very clean and well cared for. The air conditioners in the bedrooms all worked well. he downstairs bedroom has a window opening that is covered only with a slatted wood shutter, no glass window. This room did not stay as cool and was very humid. The beds were comfortable. The pool was kept clean by the groundman and the housekeeper swept inside and made beds daily. Towels were not replaced daily which was no big deal but challenging to keep beach towels dry. There were few detractors. They included a very small refrigerator with no icemaker. They did have ice trays which you could get one round in the morning and one late at night. We ran out of water two days so make sure the groundman leaves an extra. The 5th bedroom is in a different building. We meant it to be a snore room for us but that didn’t work. TThere is no washer and dryer available which is unusual for a week long villa rental.We enjoyed the very short drive to Xel Ha and went during the week so it was less crowded. We also went to Akumal Beach to swim the turtles, and toured Akumal Pueblo. We ran out of time for Yal Ku with storms moving in the last couple of days. One of the highlights was Chef Emilio Telancon’s delicious food. We hired him for 6 days, breakfast and dinner. The food was amazing. Highlights included Huevos Rancheros, Chilaquilas, Mexican Lasagna (stacked enchiladas) and surf and turf. He also brought in fresh octupi, let our kids hold them, and then prepared a delicious appetizer called octopus in love. One of the most amazing things he did was prepare the food so that our daughter who is allergic to the “taco family” could eat mexican food. She had it all 6 days with no allergic reactions. Chef’s crew, Estiban and Eduardo, were outstanding as well. I highly recommend his services. Next time

Couldn’t be happier!

Our stay at Villa Los Primos with 11 family members, delayed for a year because of COVID, was wonderful. The house was the perfect size for all of us, having great large gathering spots, but also private areas. The Mexican artwork and decor is beautiful and a constant reminder of the creativity of the country’s artists. The location on the beach, along with a pool, meant lots of options for water activities. We took advantage of the available chef service for most of our stay, which meant we had two of them making great meals and a constant flow of guacamole/chips, smoothies for the kids and margaritas for the adults. Anything we needed taken care of, inside or outside on the property, was quickly handled by Pedro and Quetti, including raking the seaweed off the beach daily. The location was safe and secure and convenient for trips to Akumal or Tulum. We would highly recommend this house to everyone!

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: Casa de Los Primos was a wonderful place to stay for a week. The house is very nicely decorated and very clean with a great (small) pool and the beach is just a few steps away. We used the cooks supplied by the management company and the food was amazing - nice variety of traditional Mexican dishes and the cook made sure to include plenty of stuff our kids would eat (pancakes, rice and beans, quesadilla). They were also very kind. We had a great experience with the management company - managed to lock ourselves out of the house and they were incredibly responsive. Akumal is a wonderful location - lots of activities nearby and the downtown was relaxed with nice low-key restaurants on the water. Overall, I can't recommend this place enough!

When Can I Go Back

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 property was absolutely perfect for our family and our experience. We could not have chosen a better property. It's important when reviewing which villa to stay at to pay attention carefully to the pictures. You want to make sure that your villa it is directly on the beach and that you can walk out into the water. Some of the villas have ledges and stairs and then the beach in front is basically rocks. Los Primos was not one that had rocks. This was directly on the beach. You could walk directly into the water. Los Primos did have some rocks in the water, but not on the beach. So please do wear water shoes or sandals and going into the water. This location is amazing for snorkeling right in front of your villa. You can literally walk 200 yards out and at the deepest part It is about 4 ft. . As for the house itself, it fits eight adults and two children very comfortably. It includes a maid and a gardener. The maid cleans the house and the dishes. The gardener cleans the beach in the pool and makes sure there's no seaweed in front of you. It had plenty of beach chairs. It came with two kayaks. The main living area idoes not have air conditioning but the bedrooms all do. But every room has a fan. The house was very well decorated. Everyone could be together when they wanted to be and everybody could be separate in their own rooms when they wanted to be. We had seven adults in our group. We spent most of the time on the beach and in the pool area and out on the patio. We spent some time on the roof, which has an amazing view. I would highly recommend hiring a private chef. We hired Emilio and the food was delicious. As for cost, if you add up all that you get it, this is a much better deal than being in an all inclusive resort. Do not waste your money on a resort. It is very safe. It is in a gated community. The security guard walks the beach every day several times. And you can do everything you can do in inclusive resort. And you're with your family.

Wonderful Retreat in a Tropical Paradise

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our 8 nights with our family at the Villa Los Primos was terrific. What a pleasure to step out of our living room into the warm Caribbean waters and swim and snorkel in the beautiful lagoon. The layout of the house was perfect for our group of 9 adults and 3 young children. Everyone had their own quiet space and when they wanted to be away from the group. The beds and amenities were comfortable and met a high standard. The public space was great with a separate living and dining area and nice size kitchen. The only limitation of the kitchen was not having a dishwasher, but this didn't affect us since we hired a chef and assistant for the week who handled most of the dishes. The pool was perfect for young kids and we felt comfortable allowing the 6-year old in the pool on her own with adults nearby. The house and grounds were well maintained, with a daily housekeeper and groundskeeper keeping everything clean and in working order.Since the house really contained everything we needed, we did not take many excursions off the property, except for a visit to the the archaeological site at Tulum (very hot even in relatively early morning) and one dinner out in Akumal. We considered going to other snorkeling venues and the cenotes, but felt we had everything we wanted on the groups, so we stuck pretty close to home. We would definitely recommend the house to others, especially families with young children. It would have been nice if the house were withing walking distance to the town of Akumal, just to get in a little physical activity other than swimming and snorkeling, but the town was a short drive so we could get there easily. We would also recommend hiring a chef since shopping for groceries was not that close and would have required a lot of work on our part of much more eating out. The rental agent recommended Emilio, who was really great. We had 3 wonderful meals each day, which further contributed to our great stay at the villa.
