The ground floor features a large sunken living room with extra seating that overlooks the swaying palm trees and white sand beach. A large kitchen that is fully equipped gives way to a large breakfast bar. A great spot for cooking and entertaining!

We took my in-laws and husbands sisters family to Akumal for Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time! Casa Cielo was perfect in every way. There was plenty of space, clean accommodations, great food by Marcy, and a relaxing beach area. We took the kayaks out several times, did a catamaran trip from Playa, visited Cozumel for a day, and went wakeboarding at the Mayan Water Complex. Transportation to/from Tulum was seamless and I recommend using Manda's suggestions and help.

Before we went, I thought the photos of the Casa might have been edited, but the place is just as beautiful as the photos suggest.
It was magical to wake up, walk out on the French doors, past the pool, and sit on the beach to watch the sun come up.
The staff were attentive, cooked some great meals for us, kept the place spotless and arranged trips to Tulum, a cenote and shopping.
We had a full house, 13 people ranging from 1 to 80 years old and we never felt crowded. Everyone had a great time and had only positive things to say. We would go back in a heartbeat.

Definitely recommended!

My family of 6 adults and 3 young children had a fabulous time at Casa Cielo. The house was very clean and well equipped with boats, sand toys, beach chairs, etc. Marcello and Suzie, the house managers (cleaners and cooks) were so hospitable and pleasant. They cooked three meals for us - all were amazing-better than the restaurants! The snorkeling right in front of the house was quite good (even though it wasn't turtle season) but I recommend Yal Kul lagoon for snorkeling (get there early- tour groups come later). I highly recommend Casa Cielo for a relaxing family time!

The villa is as described - beautiful, spacious and in a well-kept community. The beach area is fabulous, and we spent hours snorkeling, kayaking and floating in the warm Caribbean Sea. You do need water shoes – some are provided but we brought our own so I can’t comment on those provided. Contrary to the listing, the pool is not heated, but it is comfortable and clean.
The villa is well-equipped, from kitchen supplies to toys, games, beach towels and water sports equipment. Basic paper goods, coffee, coffee filters and shower supplies are provided, and the huge Chedraui supermarket, 10-15 minutes away, has everything else you need.
Akumal Beach is a five-minute drive and has some fun restaurants and souvenir shops, and Turtle Bay Cafe has the best ice cream ever!
The caretakers, Susie and Marcy, went above and beyond, arranging a visit to their personal doctor when one of our little ones was ill. They also cooked a delicious meal for a relaxing evening in. (We also took advantage of the gas grill for another evening in.)
Welcome night fajitas and breakfast breads were much appreciated.

We spent seven days/six nights at the Casa Cielo. It was an incredible trip. The bedrooms and bathrooms are very spacious. The living room, a well-stocked kitchen and the dining area worked great for our family of 12. The casita worked perfectly for our teenage son and his buddy. The terrace was perfect for the sunsets. We spend hours on the covered patio. The shaded and beautiful private beach (which was kept sargassum free by workers daily) is steps from the house. The kids loved the private pool. Kayaks, a paddle board, pool toys, water shoes and snorkeling equipment are all readily available. The pictures don't do the property justice. Manda was incredible helping us schedule our trips to swim with the turtles, see Maya ruins and swim in a cenote, answering our questions, and bringing us breakfast pastries. Marci and Suzi cooked three meals for us and the two of them were one of our favorite parts of the trip! We HIGHLY recommend a stay at Casa Cielo and we hope to make it back sometime in the future.

Akumal Direct was terrific and easy to deal with. The caretaker/chefs Susie and Marcelo were amazing. They prepared delicious local dishes and requested Mexican specialties each night for dinner.

We rented Villa Cielo for a week in early Feb with our 4 adult children and their spouses. The house worked out perfectly for us. Each of the 5 bedrooms had its own bath (prefect when dealing with couples). The service we received was outstanding. Prior to our trip Marcia of ADR was very helpful even suggesting Easyway Rental Car which turned out to be a great option for our large group. Then once we got there Jenn took over as the house manager stopping by several times making sure we had everything we needed. When we arrived Jenn had arranged for a large platter of fresh fruit and Chicken fajita stir fry to be to be waiting for us. Perfect for the first night there when everyone is tired from flying in. This was a really nice touch.
The onsite house keeping crew was very good, keeping the place clean without interfering with our use of the house.
I was concerned that there would be a shortage of restaurants within a close drive but there turned out to be several very good ones. We didn't have a bad meal and only had to drive 10 minutes. I'd recommend La Buena Vida, a fun place right on the water and for a unique experience try Namaste Jungle Restaurant. Namaste is has a unique setting right in a wildlife rescue preserve and the food was excellent and reasonably priced.
One more note on the Cielo service. They provide kayaks and a SUP for use in the ocean. When we got there most of the paddles were in pretty bad shape. I messaged Jenn and the next day they delivered new paddles. What service.
One minor note, there is no hot tub and the pool is not heated so if you happen to be there during a cool spell it can be chilly

We had an amazing time at Casa del Cielo, the location is 10 mins from Akumal Centro and we felt super safe in the gated community. The house was packed with just about anything you could possibly need - sunscreen, bug spray, mixers/liquor left behind by past guests, snorkel gear, water shoes, pool floats, etc. We were a rowdy group of 11 that stayed in the house, but 23 guests for our wedding that frequented the house during our stay. The beds were super comfy!

We did run into some maintenance issues that gave us the impression that the place needs some TLC. The casita's shower was broken for the first day and a half so our guests were unable to shower in their room after arriving from the airport, we had serious water leaking in several places in the master bedroom that required buckets to catch the leaks, and the AC in one of the guest rooms was out for several days with no fix, in the end, one of our guests who is a handyman found a screwdriver and fixed it themselves. The caretakers on the property were very nice and Suzy did an amazing job with housekeeping daily.

Overall, we really loved it here and hope to return one day. Our wedding was so intimate and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it for a wedding venue or long stay in Akumal with some adjustments to maintenance. The house is bigger and better than the photos, book it!

Being greeted by them each morning brought a smile to our faces. They treated us like family and while we loved the casa and beach, they were the best part of our stay.
A few of us have stayed in Akumal before but some people in our group were introduced to Mexico for the first time. It was an incredible first introduction. Jennifer, the property manager checked in each day and brought goodies from her shop.
Dealing with Akumal Direct was easy and they even set up our covid tests for our return to the US to be done onsite.
While I wish Casa del Cielo was a bit closer to Akumal with the shops and dining - we will return. Not only for the lovely home and beach but to see Marcy and Suzy again. If you are looking for a place to relax, soak up the sun and enjoy excellent prepared local food, this is your location.

Lovely, well-maintained home on an incredible snorkeling beach. Pictures are accurate. Marcelo and Susie live on the property and were a wonderful resource. They prepared a delicious traditional dinner for us one evening. Jennifer, who owns nearby Turtle Bay Cafe, manages things and brought by freshly baked treats several times. There is 24-hour security.

Casa del Cielo is about 3 km south of Akumal proper on its own little bay. It's sheltered by a reef and provides great opportunities for snorkeling, paddle-boarding and kayaking. The rooftop is nice for stargazing on clear nights.

Highly recommended.

Great house in a great location. It's got everything you need & then there's a pool & palm trees & a beach & it's essentially a private beach. Lovely water, beautiful sunrises, all the things. Ruins & cents are not far away if you need an excursion, but good luck pulling yourself away from Casa Cielo. We ordered groceries in advance so as soon as we arrived we were cracking beers & in the pool. Don't skip out on having caretakers Suzi & Marci make a meal for you--best molé I've ever had. We're already thinking about our next visit.

This was our first family vacation since we became grandparents! The house, Casa Cielo, was beautiful. We loved everything about the house. The pool was amazing and provided a great reprieve from the heat of the day and a place to relax in the evening. The house staff, Marci and Suzi were very kind and they went out of the way to make us feel welcome.
There were very few negatives, but here they are. It was seaweed season and it was bad (no fault of anyone’s), I was disappointed that the seaweed didn’t get cleared away daily, or at all while we were there. In the rental description it says a continental breakfast is provided daily. For our one week stay we were brought fruit and muffins twice. Everything was delicious, just not what we were expecting. Marci and Suzi cooked dinner for us one evening and it was delicious. I didn’t understand the pay structure and as we were preparing to leave for the airport we were given an additional bill.
Overall it was a great experience and I would highly recommend this home and rental company.

This house has everything you need. Private neighborhood. Beach access. Private pool. Close to Tulum. Many nearby attractions (cenotes, ruins, nature parks, etc..). Wonderful housekeepers that can also cook delicious Mexican food. And a wonderful host that was always available and helped us with things like ordering take-out or calling a cab. Plus the house is beautifully decorated and filled with activities, games, and books to keep everyone occupied. You truly get a Mexican experience with many luxuries.

Absolutely love this house!

This house checked all the boxes for our family! We wanted to take Mom and Dad somewhere special for their 50th wedding anniversary and this house was the perfect fit! It was close to all the places we wanted to visit during our stay, Chichen Itza, Tulum and Coba. Lots of beautiful cenotes and obviously turtle bay right around the corner... I only wish we would have left more time to enjoy the beach right outside the house. The bay is protected by a natural breakwater, so we were able to snorkel from the beach right out back even when the ocean was choppy!

We loved this house. We travelled with another family- 4 kids in total under 10. Plenty of space for everyone. Pool and beach toys for everyone. Kitchen is well stocked to handle a lot of people (plenty of utensils, plates, cups, etc) but I do suggest new cutting boards. AC units in all rooms so everyone could be comfortable sleeping. Spacious bathrooms. Beach! White fluffy sand. A reef break blocked the waves in our bay- this was a huge benefit we didn't know when we booked. It was windy when we went and the waves further north towards town were huge- like red flag- not safe for swimming. Care takers Marci and Suzi were such gems. It was nice knowing that someone that knows where things are, how things worked, etc was close by if you needed them. They also offer chef service- highly recommend! Very safe area, quiet and peaceful. Loved it. Wish I could live there :)

We all (8) very much enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful and well cared for. The manager and staff are exceptional. Everything is kept in tip top shape. We couldn't ask for better. The outdoor oasis with the palms and hammocks is a great place to relax and read as you listen to the caressing surf. It was so enjoyable that we ate in most evenings. I would certainly rent again.

When I get to heaven I hope it is exactly like the week I just spent at Casa Del Cielo, S. Akumal. The staff is friendly and accomplished. The vila is lush beyond expectations, and felt like home at the same time. Do yourself a favor and try Susanna's Chilie Rellenos you won't be disapointed. Guille speaks english well so there was never a language barrier, and was quite helpful to us. In short we will beback next year, everyone who went said "How will you top this week?" I said simply "Stay two weeks next year!" Thanks again to Marcia for an easy transaction. Robin
