Description

On the Beach in South Akumal – Between Playa del Carmen and Tulum

Villa Turquesa is a South Akumal property that combines it all –the unspoiled beauty of the Riviera Maya coastline, hand-made furnishings, and soothing turquoise accessories thoughtfully placed throughout the house.

Being the first beachfront property located on the north end of the South Akumal beach, Villa Turquesa is an absolute paradise for those seeking peace, and relaxation. However, the serene tropical ambiance and prime location are not the only ‘features’ that make Villa Turquesa so alluring to extended families and large groups of friends traveling together.

A wide open floor plan essentially joins the kitchen, the dining area, and an airy living area, around the stunning ocean views – the focal point of this space.

From the living room, expansive glass sliding doors open up onto the pool terrace, featuring another outdoor dining area.  Because let’s face it, nothing can compete with a couple of chilled cervezas, a bowl of home-made guacamole and a soft ocean breeze on a hot summer day.

While kids are splashing around in the pool, you can finally enjoy your ‘Siesta time’ where you can kick off your sandals, put your feet up, and just enjoy watching the kids playing from the comfort of your lounge chair.

Revel in Great Bedrooms With Ocean Views

Villa Turquesa offers five spacious bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom.  Just one of the rooms is located on the beach level, and it is furnished with two double beds. The other four bedrooms, including a Master suite and a children’s bedroom, are upstairs.

The master suite features a king-size bed and private access to the ocean side patio, facing the turquoise waters of South Akumal Bay.

The two guest bedrooms come with 2 double beds each, while a “kiddie room” comes with a bunk bed with a single trundle bed and a single bed with rails.

Those in your party who don’t want to give up modern technologies completely will like the upper-level entertainment area that has everything from a Satellite TV to a Wifi and more.

More People Can Join You for This Year’s Beach Vacation

Villa Turquesa has its own guest house that adjoins the main villa. It offers 3 additional bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. 

Whether you are planning a special celebration like a wedding or an anniversary or just looking forward to a laid-back Caribbean vacation, Villa Turquesa will make your dreams come true. We are sure of it!

So GIVE your beloved ones a present and inquire about your stay that has you situated by the turquoise waters of the Caribbean at Villa Turquesa!

        Right on the beach, incredible sunrise, big pool, friendly staff

        Reviewed on 2023-08-09 by Jonathan Young

        We stayed at Villa Turquesa with our entire family including babies, kids, teens, spouses and partners and it offered something for everyone. The location right on the beach made it simple to watch the sunrise in the morning and enjoy the sound of the waves. The pool was big enough for us to float around in and the kids loved it. With direct sunlight in the morning and early afternoon, it offered a nice shaded place in the hot afternoon, with some areas shaded at all times which were nice for the babies. The sargassum seaweed didn't bother us, maybe due to the wind and the groundskeepers carting away large amounts in the morning. Entering the sea is a bit rocky, but not difficult and there was decent snorkeling with quite a bit of different fish species and little holes/caves to explore. The kayaks were also a nice activity. The rooms were comfortable and had AC, with some of the larger rooms taking a bit longer to cool. Each room having its own bathroom was a nice luxury with so many families sharing one house. The housecleaners were friendly and there every day from after breakfast to early afternoon and kept the place very clean. Sometimes we had to plan around that with our babies nap times or cooking lunch but it wasn't a big deal. The groundskeepers also did a great job cleaning up the pool every day and responded quickly to our request to cut down some of the coconuts that were hanging over the pool after one had fallen down. Overall a great experience!

        Spacious home and great location, but:
        No hot water for showers, very old cooking accessories, refrigerator didn’t work well, bad odors in some bathrooms, horrible pillows, super small pool compared with pic.
        Cleaning service extraordinary.

        Really loved this large house (sleeps 20) in a secluded spot just South of Akumal. Beautiful views, clear water but a little rocky. Seaweed cleaned up most every day. Cleaning crew was Fantastic! Both refrigerators struggle to keep food and beverages cold as their is no AC in the main living area. All bedrooms except large Master stayed very cool! Had most needed amenities except spices and condiments. Beach was nice and the place is close to restaurants and a gas station.

        We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Turquesa. The house is so open and airy, and right on the beach. The layout is well thought out. There are lots of fun extras like playing cards, books, dvds, yoga mats, and kayaks. We really enjoyed taking the snorkels out. You can see some cool fish and other sea life snorkeling right in front of the house. The lounge chairs by the pool were perfect for nighttime stargazing while listening to the waves. The kitchen is supplied with all the non-food items you could think of. There is even a highchair, which came in very handy for us. The internet is also great! We had no problems connecting and it’s fast enough for multiple people to stream movies at the same time if you want.

        The location is perfect! You can walk about 25 minutes along the beach to akumal restaurants, or about a 4 minute drive. Tulum is about a 20 minute drive. We cooked some meals at the house and went to akumal or tulum for others. The house is a short drive from many cenotes.

        The staff were great! They are so friendly and did a wonderful job keeping the house clean. The 24 hour security is nice plus. We had our baby with us and we always felt safe.

        I highly recommend this place!

        The only thought I have would be to switch out some of the bright white light bulbs for warmer ones for a more chill vibe in the evenings.

        It was a perfect place for our family. It was quiet and relaxing. The place is well taken care of and clean. Love the pool and the beach. The kitchen and dining room was big enough to cook for our family of 8. The monkey sanctuary and the yal ku lagoon are both in akumal and are amazing.

        There were 13 of us on a family vacation. The house was perfect. Rooms were clean and comfortable. We were happy for the A/C as it was very hot. The pool was where everyone gathered. Maids cleaned daily so even with a full house it never felt over run. The house keeper was very responsive to our requests. Nesting turtles on the beach were an unexpected bonus!

        We rented Villa Turquesa for five days for our small wedding, 13 adults stayed on the property and there was plenty of room for everyone. It was a great setting for our laid back group! The pool was the perfect size and was utilized quite a bit since the sargassum seaweed was so bad. We enjoyed our time there immensely, but were unaware that the cleaning staff would be there from 9:30am until 3:30pm everyday of our stay, they were pleasant and quiet but the amount of cleaning was something I have never experienced in a vacation rental and it didn't seem necessary. The owner left us a note saying we needed to tip $2 per person per day per cleaning staff (three people). A $26 tip per day seems a bit steep for a cleaning tip. I hope that the cleaning staff are being paid through the rental fees we paid, not just the tip. Other than that, great secluded spot away from the hustle and bustle of Cancun/Tulum, nice beach, and good snorkeling!

        The villa was great for our large family. We had 20 of us rangeing in age from 9 years to 69 and it was perfect for all of us. Each couple had their own bedroom and the kids were able to share rooms comfortably. The living room and kitchen were big enough for all of us to cook and be together. Of course the view was beautiful and we all enjoyed the beach, swimming and snorkeling. The beach is rocky but since we were prepared and had water socks, it wasn't a problem. The villa is a bit older and therefore has some quirks that we all adjusted to, ie some ants in the morning, not being able to flush toilet paper. I do think someone needs to be there when the first group checkes in to show them around and explain how the appliances work and other issues. Not knowing how to work the stove could have been a catastrophe, since my son didn't know he needed to light the pilot light. Claudia did call the next day but didn't come by. Unfortunately because of the Southwest issues, I wasn't able to be there until the 4th day, so my family who arrived before me didn't even know there was a separate entrance to the 3 bedrooms in the 2nd part of the house.Also their isn't a washer and dryer available to be used by the tenants. There is a laundry service though that is reasonable, $5 a load. I also would have liked to have known in advance that there would be maid service everyday for about 4 hours and that you need to tip each one $2 per person in your party each day which really added up for our group. We ended up working out a compromise of putting the trash outside of our closed bedroom doors, so they weren't there as long. Don't get me wrong, the maids tried to not be in our way and couldn't have been more gracious. Manuel was there every morning and he cleaned the patio and the area around the pool, which was great since we tracked so much sand up from the beach. Would we stay here again. Definately!

        We thought we were finishing a perfect vacation when it got even more incredible the last night when we were able to experience a turtle hatching. So wonderful. The house was perfect. Claudia brought us an amazing dinner our first spite of some temporary power outage. Snorkeling was great. We had rainbows and gorgeous sunrises. The staff was incredible and we highly recommend Chef Daveed for a dining experience.

        Overall it was a wonderful stay. Guests ranged in age from 78-11. There was something for everyone to do. The House looked exactly like the photos with the exception of one room but it was nothing g detrimental. The largest issue we had was the water turning off. This happened at least 2, maybe 3 times while we were there. There also were not enough towels considering the amount of people we had. However, I would definitely rent this space again

        Akumal Direct gave timely and helpful suggestions for planning our trip, information about ordering grocery delivery, chef services, and general information about the property, with a concierge ready to arrange transportation for our excursions as we enjoyed much of what the area had to offer. Villa Turquesa provided a nice living/dining/kitchen area for gathering, eating and activities, plenty of bedrooms with a bathroom connected to each, with a pool and deck out the back door with stunning views and the ocean a few yards away. The grandkids loved the beach, the pool and snorkeling not too far up the beach. We enjoyed lunch at the Jungle Fish restaurant, which was a nice half-mile walk along the Akumal Beach Trail. Our housekeepers kept the rental tidy and in good shape with a smile on their faces. The handyman made sure the pool was clean and our needs were met, even leading us to a small, hidden cenote just yards from the Villa. It was interesting seeing the numerous turtle nests all along the beach and learning about them. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Turquesa and would recommend it for your next visit to the Riviera Maya.

        The house was just as describe and more so Much larger than expected and spotlessly clean, the house cleaners kept it that way. The pool was big enough that the 16 of us never felt crowded. David from Akumal direct handled everything for us from airport transportation to rental car to the best chef in the area. He is a gem of an employee. We had prefect weather other than the seaweed but there were plenty of spaces on the beach to enter the water.

        We had a fabulous time. The home is like the pictures portray. The housekeepers went above and beyond. We wish the seaweed would have stayed away a few more days, but a walk down the beach 20 yards and it was fine.

        We just returned from a fabulous week at Villa Turquesa with a group of 11 adults. It was a really wonderful house for our crew. There is plenty of space, we never felt crowded. The bedrooms are fairly basic, but it was nice for everyone to have their own bathroom. The kitchen was great, we cooked quite a bit so were glad to have 2 refridgerators, large pots, lots of plates and a table that comfortably seats 12. The outdoor area is fabulous. You can walk right into the water, or just enjoy the view from the deck. It was very quiet when we were there and had the beach to ourselves many days.
        We felt very spoiled by Beto and team cleaning up everyday. And it was a great surprise to have dinner waiting for us on our arrival.
        We didn't use the chef services, but we did have the Akumal Direct concierge arrange for massage therapists to come to the house and they were fabulous.

        This house (full 8 BR) was perfect for our extended family of 15. We loved the direct beach access, as well as the pool. Beautiful sunrises. Enough space to come together as a family, and for different groups to do their own activities.

        Wonderfully spacious home that easily accomodated the 10 of us. The views were spectacular, the massages luxurious, the authentic Mexican meal delicious, and the location was outstanding. This is one place we all agreed we would return to!
