Casa Iguana was perfect for us
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.

Perfect Family House in Akumal
Our family of 9 had the best time at Casa Iguana. Communication ahead of time and while we were there was fantastic. The house and the casita were the perfect fit for my family. Two primary bedrooms in the main house and two rooms in the casita so we could split the boys and girls up. Daniel (the caretaker/cook) and Patty (the house cleaner/cook) were incredible. They really added so much to our trip. The breakfast they made every morning was so good. And Daniel cooked us dinner one night (highly recommend!). They became a part of our family and even came out to eat with us one night. The house is in such a great spot in Akumal. You can walk to La Buena vida, Jungla, La Lunita, the Beach, the shops, Taverna, and everything else you need in Akumal Beach. Thank you for everything!

Tropical Dream
The property was well kept with lots of room to roam from inside the main home to the casita to the outdoors. The pool was clean and sparkling with plenty of chairs and loungers even beach towels. Great location to see wildlife, dine at delicious restaurants, have beach time and most of these are in walking distance. Wonderful small community, with friendly helpful people. This place is perfect for those who need extra help and don't want to be alone. It has two people one of whom lives on property and another who's there during the day, both are always around and wanting to help. Daniel will cook for you all you have to do is ask. We so enjoyed our vacation and look forward to returning!

Second Stay = 5 Stars
This is the second time we have stayed at Casa Iguana, the first was 5 years ago. The property is just as nice as the first time and the location is perfect for both privacy or walking to town. Daniel the on site care taker has been there for a very long time and is always very helpful. Daniel made dinner for us 4 nights and the food is just as good or better than any restaurant we have found. I am sure this will not be out last stay at Casa Iguana.

Perfect Spring Break
We were a group of 9 people, 4 adults and 5 kids and the property worked out great. It is in a safe area, close to several restaurants. We went to La Buena Vida 5 times and also really enjoyed a dinner at the Taverna. Also visited the Turtle Cafe several times. Highly recommend all 3 of them. Manuel was very helpful, he prepared breakfast and cooked a delicious dinner for us. He also helped us with arrangements for a day trip to Tilum and the cenotes. The kids played in the sand volleyball court and the iguanas were an attraction. We felt safe. The property is beautiful and I would return in a heart beat. Covid testing was easy - there was a small, walk-in testing place in town. I think we paid $30 per person and got results within 2 hours.

Great Family Gathering
There were 7 of us ages 18-78, and the house suited us all perfectly. Everyone had a little privacy but lots of places to gather, especially outside. The hammock had a sign up sheet! We had Daniel cook for us 5 out of 7 nights, and each night was better than the one before. Especially the guacamole! We would never hesitate to return.

The property management group did a wonderful job with booking and providing helpful airport shuttles and car rental info. Onsite, Daniel kept watch over the property night and day while Patricia made sure we had fresh linens and towels daily and cleaned as needed.

Our family had a great stay at Casa Iguana over the thanksgiving holiday. The property was amazing and the house keepers, Daniel and Patricia, were so accommodating. Whenever we needed anything, they were willing to help out and go to the store for us or schedule any excursions. The location was also a short walk from multiple restaurants, stores, and beaches. We highly recommend staying at Casa Iguana!

Amazing vacation and hospitality!
Our group of 7 friends stayed at Casa Iguana for 10 days in April 2021. The place was perfect for our group, and a great time was had by all. Plenty of space for everyone to socialize at the pool, cook and enjoy meals together, or just spend some alone time enjoying the ocean view from the palapa. The hospitality and service from the staff, Daniel and Patricia, was just exceptional though; really above and beyond. Daniel welcomed us upon our arrival with our requested welcome dinner, (which was absolutely delicious) and had also shopped for some staples as well, which was really nice. Breakfast every morning was just so nice, filling, and always started our day right. Not only is Daniel a great cook, he was always willing to help us with pretty much everything. He helped us arrange deep-sea fishing, snorkeling to see the turtles in Akumal bay, taxi rides, etc. Patricia was just lovely as well, and kept everything exceptionally clean and tidy. We only had one issue while staying at the property, where the air conditioner unit in one of the rooms broke on a Sunday afternoon. On Monday morning a crew arrived and a brand new unit was installed and ready that day! The location of the house, and Akumal itself was really great; everything you need within walking distance. We shopped at the Akumal general store and OXXO often, but there is also a smaller bodega maybe less than 1/4 mile away. Many great restaurants within walking distance as well; our favorite being La Buena Vida on the beach, again, maybe just a 5 minute walk away. Overall, just a wonderful and relaxing vacation; our own little slice of paradise for 10 days. Will recommend to others, and would love to return!

Amazing secluded beach getaway!
Communication was top notch! We got in late, around 9 pm and the manager Daniel was there with a smile and ready to make guacamole and drinks. The property was large, clean, beautiful, and conveniently located near beaches and businesses- ALL while being extremely private and secure. I recommend a car as there is A LOT to see and do between Cancun and Tulum. Akumal is right in the center. A beautiful grocery store Chedrauli (like Target) was right off main freeway 9 min up the road. Tulum was 30 min south and Playa del Carmen was 30 min North. We took the ferry from Playa to Cozumel for the day and snorkeled all day. There is a secret Tulum beach with a bar and chairs called appropriately, Beach Club Bar - $5 a chair and white sand, excellent food, sun and shade- the best. There are Cenotes everywhere. The best restaurants in Akumal to the right of the property(5 min walk) La Buena Vida and to the left (10 min walk) Turtle Bay Cafe and the Pizzeria ( high end pizza,pasta, wine, etc. Daniel and Alicia take care of the house and will help set up tours, meals, and keep the property a perfect 10 at all times! Having hammocks overlooking the ocean, your own pool, outdoor eating, and plenty of indoor space made this family trip so special. Can't wait to return!!

A most wonderful stay - Feb. 8-22, 2020
What an amazing trip! We absolutely LOVED our stay at Casa Iguana! We can't thank Daniel enough for all of his delicious meals and snacks (especially the guacamole...yum!), for organizing golf carts and a fishing trip, his helpful advice and information, his patient Spanish lessons and just being so darned accommodating. Thank you Daniel, you are a lovely man!! We had rented a car, but with the easy and convenient walkability of Casa Iguana's location, and having Daniel always happily willing to arrange transportation for us, we found it to be an unnecessary expense. The nearby beaches, numerous restaurants with delicious food offerings, shops and groceries stores are all within very easy walking distance. Extremely convenient! Never for a moment did we feel unsafe in Casa Iguana or Akumal. Casa Iguana has it's own security (thank you to them for their long nights keeping watch) and we found the people of Akumal so friendly! Another big thank you to Alicia for keeping the house and casita so clean - we loved being greeted by her big, beautiful smile every morning. The house and casita were perfect for our group of 7. We loved the outdoor space - especially the large outdoor table for family game nights and morning coffee. We enjoyed spending time by the pool & relaxing in the hammocks by the ocean. We are definitely all looking forward to returning to Casa Iguana next year. Let the countdown begin! Gracias! The Heidts, Keys & Ristes Alberta, Canada

Fantastic!!
Every year my family of 12 (6 adults/6 kids) picks a different place to meet & enjoy time together. This year we picked Casa Iguana in Akumal & it was our best location to date! Casa Iguana is a short walk to Akumal Bay & Half Moon Bay and if you just feel like relaxing, you can lounge by the pool or in the hammocks overlooking the ocean. There are places to be in the sun, or the shade & the air conditioning throughout the casita & main house kept us cool while inside. One of the most pleasant surprises was Daniel. If you stay here you MUST have him cook for you. Yes, it is convenient, but most importantly, he is an amazing chef & will treat you to the most delicious meals you will have during your entire stay in Akumal. He is also an invaluable source of information & not only helped us find a fishing boat/guide, he helped clean & cook the fish that we caught. Additionally, Alicia worked every day to keep Casa Iguana clean and in order. Our entire reservation from start to finish was straight forward & easy. Every question I had (& I had many) was answered quickly & thoroughly by the staff at Akumal Direct Reservations. If I could give Casa Iguana more than 5 stars, I would!

Amazing Experience!
What a dream! We had 5 adults and three kiddos and this had a perfect amount of space. Daniel (on site overseer) cooked amazing meals and always made sure we had a cold cerveza available. The main house has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The guest house has two bedrooms and bathrooms as well. A full kitchen and seating area are in both the main and guest house. We ate all of our meals outside since it is so beautiful and has a larger table. Make sure to ask for tips on where to access the beach. You will need to walk 5-8 minutes to access the non-rocky part and some places charge you 200 pesos per person. We loved our time!

Great for our 3 families, close to beaches and town.
Great stay. We had two adults and 3 youth in the separate casita, 2 adults and 2 kids in the upstairs of the main house and my wife and I in main level bedroom. 5 stars for both Daniel the cook and Alicia the housekeeper. They were wonderful and provided all we would want. Expect them in your house often taking care of you. They had security service as well, and we never felt any discomfort. Organize your meals and remember there will be large quantities of food. You will front the $$ for Daniel to go shopping and cook for you. His ceviche he prepared from the fish we caught was really fantastic. This is a ocean front house but there is not a beach there. When we wanted beach time we took an easy walk north or south. Both places you need to get on the beach by buying a drink or snacks at the restaurant. I rented two bicycles for the week and found that very convenient to be able run up the the local stores. We took two scuba dives and found the reef beautiful. I would definitely recommend this place.

Enjoyed our stay at Casa Iguana,
Daniel and Alessia were wonderful hosts making our stay quite comfortable. Daniel and his son cooked fajitas for our dinner one evening and even made margaritas. The beds were comfortable with air conditioning units in each bedroom. The only thing we missed was a nice beach. The beach behind the house is rough rocky terrain all the way to the water, so it is not good for hanging out. Loved the pool and everything else about the property. The house is located in a small community in Akumal within walking distance of several restaurants and shops. Definitely a good value for the money.

Our entire family enjoyed their stay at Casa Iguana. Daniel and Alicia were very nice and welcoming. The weather was perfect and the house was perfectly located, within walking distance from local restaurants, the Yal-Ku lagoon, and the Dive center. We enjoyed Daniel's cooking and also took advantage of the kitchen to prep a few meals ourselves.

Excellent outdoor space in a great little village in the Riviera Maya
Our group of 11 extended family members, which included 3 children under 5, stayed at Casa Iguana. The pool is perfect for the little ones. It was also nice having two kitchen on the property for storing all our food. The best part about this property is its staff. Daniel was excellent and made us beautiful dinners every night. The little palapa with hammocks overlooking the sea was also heavily used by our group. The property is showing its age a bit but everything was very clean and the landscaping is neat. The location is walking distance to the village of Akumal where there is great snorkeling or you can walk in the other direction to the lagoon (Yal Ku) for more of a fresh water swimming/snorkeling experience.
