Description

Your Authentic Mayan Villa in the Heart of Akumal

If you are looking for something more exciting than just a great vacation in a typical modern villa, then Casa Iguana may be just the right vacation home for you.

Built on a half-acre lot between Akumal and Half Moon Bay, Casa Iguana is composed of two side-by-side houses; a main two-level villa and a one-level casita. Each house has 2 air conditioned bedrooms with 2 en-suite bathrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen and an original circular living room with a modern entertainment system.

People who see Casa Iguana for the first time, say it reminds them of a private resort. Indeed, the layout of the house, its unique architecture and amazing outdoor living spaces make it easy to both enjoy the privacy and tranquility of your own home and to spend an enjoyable time together.

Perfect for Families or 3-4 couples Wanting to Hang Out Together

Despite its Mayan-like wood-finished exterior, the interiors of both houses, with their marble and hardwood floors, granite counter tops and wifi provide all the modern-day comforts that make a vacation even more enjoyable.

If you get the first pick at choosing your room, the best bet would be the master bedroom, located on the second floor of the villa and boasting an elevated view of the Caribbean. While kids can stay in their bedroom located on the first floor and furnished with 2 twin beds.

Bigger groups will be more comfortable in one of the Casita bedrooms, furnished with two double beds and one double and one twin bed.

The indoor spaces of Casa Iguana are complemented by the stunning outdoors, an outdoor living and dining area as well as an impressive oceanfront swimming pool. The thatched-roofed living and dining area in the exterior of the casita is an ideal spot to enjoy meals during a cookout. You can also make use of another 12-seater outdoor dining area for more formal meals.

Terraces, Outdoor Living Areas, and the Beach

And to make sure that you stay in shape during your vacation, Casa Iguana offers its guests a private white sand beach area designed for friendly volleyball and soccer matches.

There is even a little private Gazebo dedicated to relaxation and siesta-time. Just picture the thatched-roof palapa, soft ocean breeze, the inviting hammocks and turquoise waters of the Caribbean sparkling in the background… A real tropical paradise.

And the best part is that since Casa Iguana is built on a rocky section of the shore, there is virtually no one walking by or disturbing your peace (well, maybe except for your friends’ laughter or kids splashing in the pool). But this is part of having a great time and staying at an authentic Mayan Villa!

If you are tired of gloomy weather and work stress, add this property to your inquiry. This will be the first step to securing your relaxing stay at classy Casa Iguana.

We had a great time!!! The house was awesome! Daniel (host) was the best! Anything you needed just ask him! Rent a golf cart! You can walk 5-10 min everywhere , But it’s clutch to have one! Everything was great!

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.

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.

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!

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.

We were a family of 6 who enjoyed our stay here. The photos and description are all accurate. It was clean, in great condition and the fans and ac were all in excellent working condition. The wifi was a bit slow at times but overall worked very well. WE liked that we could walk into town and felt safe in the area. It was super windy while we were there but that was not in anyones's control.

Daniel, the ground's keeper spoke good English and was very kind. We had him prepare dinner on the first night for the 6 of us and were shocked at the $175 bill. We spent $150 for groceries for the week and were not sure how he could spend $130 for the groceries for the one night. As a result, we did not have him cook for us again. We also had him call us a taxi one night. He quoted us one price and then the taxi told us a different price. He said his friend had to use another taxi company and that was their price. It was frustrating and he did not push to make it right.

We also had him call us a taxi one night. He quoted us one price and then the taxi told us a different price. He said his friend had to use another taxi company and that was their price. It was frustrating and he did not push to make it right.

A very private wonderful experience

We stayed at casa iguana for one week. I set it up to have Daniel on our first night to have nachos. He was ready when we arrived. Everyone was so impressed it was the best guacamole we had our entire trip. The houses were spotless and anything we did need Daniel and Patricia took care of immediately. The beds were comfy. The bathrooms were stocked with basic toiletries. Filtered bottle water in all bathrooms and both kitchens. The outdoors was beautiful. A few large iguanas to see. A beautiful view. It truly was a dream vacation. 5 min walk to town 5 min walk to beach. I look forward to a return visit.

All 7 of us had a great time and loved our accommodations. Plenty of space to be together, plenty of places to have some quiet time. Loved the hammock. Daniel did a fantastic job cooking for us and also doing all the shopping.

Exceptional experience. When vacationing in Mexico choose a location that's scenic and safe, but also close enough to site seeing adventures. More importantly choose a good host with and incredible local staff. Daniel was the resource my family needed, and Patricia was at the ready. Couldn't be happier with the accommodations, especially considering we were lucky enough to find it after choosing to leave our first location. Try Daniel's guacamole!

We looked for a place that would fit our family of 6 for a small, intimate wedding. Casa Iguana was that and more!! The layout is perfect with places to congregate or to have some personal space. The caretaker Dani is amazing!! He was always available and willing to help! He cooked some incredible meals and was the nicest person. Patricia made sure the property was always clean! I really couldn’t imagine a more perfect place for our family!!

Firstly, Daniel and Patricia are the biggest added value to this property. They are more of a concierge than a caretaker and maid, they made our trip perfect. If we wanted to visit a Cenote in the area, Daniel would call a friend and get us a deal on the excursion, deep sea fishing trip, the maid Patricia's husband was our guide and for significantly less than other fishing guides (we had 3 fish on the line within 10 min). When we needed our covid test to fly back into the US, Daniel made one phone call and the local doctor came to the house and performed the tests for us. The meals Daniel and Patricia prepared left us speechless, these folk are outstand in the kitchen and we couldn't have been happier with their attention to detail. While my friends and family were sitting pool side and swimming Daniel would occasionally come up to see if we needed any more beer, water, food, anything we needed he had for us at a moments notice. One evening we went for dinner at La Buena Vida, we saw a very nice looking bottle of Tequila on the bar shelf, after buying a few rounds and being blown away by the quality of the tequila we wondered if there was any way to purchase bottles to bring home with us. That evening Daniel phoned the distillery and the following afternoon the President of the Tequila Distillery came to the house and offered us a wide variety of high end tequilas to purchase. This isn't something you're going to find at any other property in Mexico. Daniel and Patricia made our 16 day stay the absolute best vacation we've ever had. We look forward to vacationing at this property again very soon. The beach is exactly as you see in the photos, limestone bedrock, you cannot swim directly off the property, but there are white sand beaches 5 min walking distance in both directions. The house is very quiet and fairly secluded, we seldom knew if anyone was visiting the surrounding properties. I cannot speak highly enough of this property and their staff. 6 stars!!!!!!!!!

Pasamos unos dĂ­as muy agradables en Casa Iguana, la atenciĂłn de Daniel

Mi único “pero” es que no hay playa cerca, la que había tenías que pagar......
AĂşn asĂ­ pasamos unos dĂ­as increĂ­bles......totalmente recomendada!

Place was great. Lots of room for our guests and close to may restaurants. Also The staff on premises (Danial and Amilia) were very friendly and kept the property clean and comfortable. Danial cooked our fresh caught fish for us along with lots of other meals. Very good cook!

Great spaces, large property that you can have some privacy from others even in your own group! The main house is clearly nicer, but it was sooo nice to have 2 seperate living places for privacy, but still have great outdoor spaces to come together. Shop in Playa at Mega or other grocery store b4 coming up. Have a great time, don't miss La Buena Vida and Sergio at the Galleria. He paints outside his shop local scenes. Great guy. We ordered 3 paintings to be sent to us in the states. Tell him Barb and Manuel say hello. Wonderful family. We LOVE akumal.

We arranged for an arrival-day dinner - what a treat after our travel day! It was so pleasant, we did it again the night before we left! The staff couldn't have been more agreeable, and kept the place spotless. If we couldn't find the information we needed in the house book, Roger, Manuel or Juany had the answer. We enjoyed having separate buildings so early risers and night owls could avoid bothering one another. Look for the nightly parade of hermit crabs - fascinating!

Three couples shared this rental for annual trip to escape the cold. The property is ideally located near town, La Buena Vida bar, and Yal Ku lagoon--you can't get much better than that in Akumal. The outside spaces are unbelievablely beautiful and provide an opportunity to enjoy three distinct spaces: the pool; the palapa complete with hammocks; and the garden area. The homes are well kept and the staff is friendly and helpful. The beds were very hard for my body and I ended up sleeping on my pool raft the last two nights to spare my body the agony of springs protruding into my ribs. Based on my highly unscientific survey, this house is one of the best deals in Akumal.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Iguana in Akumal. The property is like your own private resort, the staff was friendly and very helpful and we fell in love with Akumal--it was great to walk to restaurants, grocery store, beaches and snorkeling sites. We highly recommend Casa Iguana and plan to return soon.

We only gave 4 stars for the satisfaction with the property's general condition because the Air Conditioning units were not great. One of the ones in the smaller casita barely worked at all and two others weren't all that great in that they didn't actually cool things down enough. The best one was in the downstairs bedroom in the big house.

As far as the cleanliness of the property, there was a party there right before we checked in and there were some remnants including broken glass by the pool and cigarette butts in the gardens and beach. Also there were some weird stains on the wall behind the television in the smaller casita. Manuel did a great job overall though and was very friendly and helpful as was the housekeeper. One other thing was that one of the fresh water jars (for tooth brushing) in the bathroom of the smaller casita was broken and the other ones were not refilled during our stay. Other than that the maid service was excellent. What a special place, we hope to be back soon!

We took a 3 generation family vacation to Casa Iguana. the Houses and grounds gave everyone what they were looking for fron the 4 year old to the 70 year old. I highly recommend this quaint, beautiful, functional property (although there are acouple of "fall points" where a small toddler could fall through the pool area railing). We will be going back as often as we can!
