This is the one place we return again and again. We've been four times, and my inlaws have been countless times (even on a list to call when one comes up for sale!) We've had many intimate family reunions at the Casitas, spent so much time at the palapa bar, and I have a seriously awesome collection of jewelry from the ! We seriously considered getting married on the beach here (opted for Italy), then met friends who were actually PLANNING to get married there, which fast-forwarded our friendship immediately (we attended)!

We have so many memories in Akumal, I really can't recommend it highly enough. Admittedly, I was disappointed to see it on TripAdvisor as I hoped it could stay our family secret. It's a dream. Our first choice for vacation, always.

Just arrived home from one of the best family holidays we have ever had. If you want a Las Vegas experience, there are plenty of crowded tacky places to stay in Cancun, but if you want a relaxed, convenient and peaceful kind of holiday, Las Casitas is the place. Everything went like clockwork due to the excellent staff, ready to help you out at any turn. Las Casitas arranged a mini bus for us (5 adults) to be taken from the Cancun airport to Las Casitas roundtrip. Our driver was Miguel and such a sweet man. He stopped at the Walmart for us to load up on groceries and in one hour we had 2 carts full and back on the road. Upon arrival at Las Casitas, staff came out of the woodwork and help us upload the van in 5 minutes! The maid service was daily and gave the villa a good cleaning each day, floors and all. Did all our dishes too! We stayed in Villa #16 on one end of a set of 4 townhouse like structures. It is an excellent location with views from both floors and a porch off the master bedroom. It was the perfect temperature in Dec 6-12, so we never had to use the air conditioning; ceiling fans were fine and we woke up each morning to the sound of tropical birds singing, lovely! Each day we snorkeled from our beach to the reef and got to see all kinds of sea life. Every day we saw sea turtles, stingray’s, octopus, parrot fish, surgeonfish, sargent majors, too many to list. We did all our dives from the Akumal Dive shop, just 100 yards from our door, we just walked down the beach each morning to our dive boat. Rented everything for the week of diving and very reasonable! We did at least one dive per day and the staff there were also wonderful! we walked on the beach. There were several good resturants to walk to and we never had to drive or take cabs to find good food. La Buena Vida was our favorite place to eat and happy hour 5-7, get Carlos for your waiter, he was great! Enjoy. PS: beds are hard, so if that is an issue for you, don't stay here.

Instead of a typical hotel, imagine staying in your own private villa, kitchen, baths, a private "palapa" and lots of room. This is Las Casitas. Not for those who want an all inclusive with swimming pools and lively bars...
this place is private, quiet, sohpisticated, close to restaurants (LolHe, Turtle Bay and "Cueva" to mention some, The ambiance is RELAXING...from clothes to tempo. A gorgeous beach, a wonderful crystal clear bay that is shallow enough to be safe for kids, excellent snorkeling, world class SCUBA and plenty of excellent maid service and hotel amenities. Charter fishing trips are available, golf is just down the road, and the Casita's have a lighted tennis court set in the middle of the jungle, surrounded by flowers and birds. This place is absolutely amazing.

LA CASITAS AKUMAL is a very beautiful place and It has the best beach that is protected by a reef where you can experience a great snorkeling.
The location is great and very safe and the casita stand about 15 meters from a cristal clear water. The staff is just the best , so friendly and helpfull. Many things to do and to see around and a lots of good restaurant just few walks from the hotel.
