A wonderful week in paradise with the family. We have stayed in the Akumal area before but this was our first time at Casa La Vía. It certainly won’t be our last!! The pictures on the Internet, although very nice, do not do this villa justice! It is even more breathtaking than we expected. The little decorating touches throughout have been done with such taste just like in a magazine, yet also very comfortable so you don’t feel as if you are going to break anything. The jungle views were spectacular – so lush, green and private.
This villa was the perfect place for our day trips. Within minutes, we were at a cenote, Xpu-Ha Beach or Akumal. The kids loved jumping in off the cliff at Cenote Azul on our way back from Xpu-Ha Beach. We appreciated having all the beach chairs, umbrellas and coolers provided. We would pack up the car and head off to explore! The Welcome Book provided all kinds of hints and suggestions for beaches, restaurants, and day trips. It was so practical and complete that we got to see so many things that we did not know about on our previous trip to Akumal. We had a touring and beach vacation, all in one, which was fabulous!
The staff was very friendly. Wilma makes the best guacamole and fajitas!! She kept the villa spotless and always had a big smile for us. Santiago was very helpful and the pool was always in perfect condition for us to enjoy! We can’t wait to come back!!

Casa La Via is absolutely charming and a place of utter relaxation! We really enjoyed the peacefulness and seclusion of the jungle. It was a nice relief from the sand and wind of the beach. The kids just loved the cute geckos... they were drawing them all week! They kept looking for the pair of monkeys that apparently live nearby, but had no luck this time.
The pool area was fabulous. My husband the sun-worshipper, loved the built-in sun bed while I could not believe that we had our very own palapa by the pool! The pool bars were just fabulous for our Happy Hour margaritas!
The villa itself has everything one could wish for. It is so tastefully decorated in a Mayan décor and extremely well thought out and everything last little thing you need is there! From the detailed Welcome Book, a guide book in itself, to the kitchen that has every last little pot and cooking utensil you may ever need, we never felt that we were missing a thing! Wilma always greeted us with a big smile and kept the place immaculate. Santiago always had a cheery hola for us and kept the pool sparkling and so inviting! We are already planning our next trip!
