vacation rental description

As you pass through the wroght iron gatein thevine covered limestone wall that surrounds the sheltered front garden, leave behind the stresses and frustrations of the world of "getting and spending."  The central courtyard facing you is popular with guests enjoying morning coffee surrounded by vibrantly colored Bougainvillea and Hibiscus and accompanied by the soothing sound of water trickling down the rock fountain.

Afternoons on the rooftop terrace garden encourage resting in the shade of the gazebo or lying on lounges under the tropical sun cooled by gentle sea breezes or work out with the exercise machines in our air conditioned Fitness Center, order a massage at the Spa or on site, or sign up for world class yoga instruction.

The Townhouse offers three bedrooms and two baths, a spacious forty five foot open plan living room, dining room and kitchen, all with a comfortably homey atmosphere. It accommodates seven guests or it can be divided into separate one and two bedroom suites, each with its own fully equipped kitchen and dining areas.

Suite 102 is on the lower level with a king size bed and en suite bathroom that features a unique sunken bath cut into the limestone bedrock. The large working kitchen has an oversized island with a breakfast counter and adjacent dining room. 

The upper level, #103, has two bedrooms, each with independent access to the bathroom, and accomodates up to five guests. The front bedroom with a queen bed opens through french doors onto a private balcony overlooking the garden. The large rear bedroom has a king bed and futon. The large kitchen and dining area, seating six,  features a leaded glass window from a 19th century pub. 

Suite 100 is a junior one bedroom apartment across the landing. It also has a private thatch roofed (Palapa) balcony and open floor plan kitchen, dining and seating areas in the front. The bedroomin the rear has a queen bed and a futon for viewing the flat screen TV. It is a perfect space for two to three guests.

Golfers can enjoy any of the several nearby courses along the coast, the nearest just two miles below the entrance to Akumal Beach. For nature lovers this is paradise.

traveler reviews for this akumal villa rental

Casa Gatos was Amazing!!!

bu (Austin, TX)
Review submitted: July 20, 2011   Date of arrival: July 7, 2011

It was a little confusing getting there when we first arrived but Akumal is so small it didn't take long to find our way. Once we got there, we entered into a beautiful garden and up into our two bedroom house for the week. It was hot but the a/c worked great and cooled the place down quickly. The place itself was very clean and well maintained. There is a great big tub in the bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans and a coffee maker. The hosts provide two 5 gallon bottles of drinking water. Which brings me to talk about the hosts. They are delightful, genuine and truly go out of their way to help you out! Not only did they provide us with information, directions, rides, etc., they also gave us some marriage counseling. Yes, 6 months pregnant hormones can strike even in paradise. They are so lovely and accommodating, I would recommend this place to just about anyone. Probably best for people who enjoy mornings, things get going quite early around there. Wonderful experience and we definitely plan on going back!

Recommended for: families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway

Still feel the good times

Review submitted: January 15, 2011   Date of arrival: February 28, 2010

Yes, we still have the glow of our time in Akumal and especially in Gatos with you both. We really did have a wonderful time there. We were there for a wedding, true, and the happy surprise was how nice it was to stay with you - nice for our whole group. It really created a home feeling during our special time there.

Now, of course, everyone is back home in far-flung parts of the world, but we still feel the connection and have fond memories of our time together. We've been in touch one way or another with all of them.

We want to express our gratitude for your welcoming and ongoing warmth and hospitality. You both were an integral part of our wedding community.

We hope that your new life in Mexico takes root day by day and bears lots of flowers and delicious fruit.

My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer

Review submitted: January 15, 2011   Date of arrival: December 4, 2010

I spent a lot of time reading reviews onlne to find a special place to stay close to the water and removed from lots of night life. I found the most perfect place at Casa Gatos in Akumal.

Dan and Dave are such gracious hosts and I can promise you my next visit to the Yucatan will bring me right to the door of Casa Gatos. Everything is so beautiful and delightfully decorated. I found the apartment to be so spacious and comfortable and inviting... after a long day of snorkeling it was nice to come home! We will certainly return because Casa Gatos has all that one would need (and then some) to have a fabulous, relaxing vacation.

Snorkeling in the lagoon was a major treat, tons of fish and even two large rays welcomed us along the swim out to the open ocean. The fact that we could walk around the corner to the lagoon and the beach made it that much sweeter! Snokeling in Akumal Bay was equally fantastic as we counted 9 sea turtles along our route. To end the day on the rooftop of Casa Gatos with a glass of wine and a fantastic view just topped it off. Your gated courtyard was a place I would have been content to just sit in for much of our stay if I only had the time, and the sound of the fountain was a delight. Thank you for serving the coffee and the treats in the morning...a wonderful added touch! I found the space very well equipped with the essentials and it is extremely clean. I loved that the temperature at night (late November) was so perfect that we never needed the air conditioning. I adore the feel of Akumal, so quaint, friendly and breathtakingly beautiful. Although I am tempted to keep it a secret...I would recommend this lovely hideawayto anyone!!!
