Description

Casa Palmeras is the kind of beachfront home where days easily revolve around the water. Swim in the private pool, wander from the garden onto the sand, take a kayak across the bay, or settle beneath a palapa with the Caribbean just beyond.

The villa can be reserved as a 3-bedroom home for smaller groups or as a 4-bedroom property with the addition of a separate garden-side casita, giving families and friends flexibility in how they stay.

About the Home

The main level is designed for easy indoor-outdoor living. An open living and dining area connects with the shaded beachfront patio, while the fully equipped kitchen makes it convenient to prepare meals at home. Outdoor dining beneath the palms is an inviting alternative for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Two en-suite bedrooms are located on the second level. One has a king bed and the other has two queen beds, and both open to a furnished terrace facing the Caribbean.

A private king suite occupies the rooftop level. Along with its en-suite bathroom and sitting area, the suite enjoys ocean views and a separate jungle-facing terrace that catches the evening sunset.

For groups reserving the full 4-bedroom property, the garden-side casita provides additional privacy with a queen bed, private bathroom, kitchenette, and dining area.

Second time staying in Solimon Bay. Great location about a 15 mins drive from downtown Tulum. Quiet area bay with quiet calm waters where you can easily swing out to small coral formations for decent snorkeling. This house was super comfortable with good AC, if needed. Not too fancy if you want to bring kids and not worry too much. But clean and well supplied and lovely. Bedrooms had great view of oceanfront. All had their own bottled water supply as well. Lots of public areas to lounge or dine. Cool dipping pool cuz ocean is warm! House caretakers Noe and Elizabeta were darling. Super helpful and sweet. Elizabeta cooked dinner for us 2 of the nights, with enough food leftovers for lunch and dinner the next night. A great deal! Ceviche, guacamole, shrimp skewers on the grill and empanadas were yummy. And the flan! There were kayaks and life jackets in spite for our use, and lounge chairs at poolside and under beachfront palapas. Also highly recommend the in-store massage. Massage women set up tables on the deck where the breeze passes through. Divine! Just ask Noe and he will set it up. Would definitely come back here again. There are more luxe places on this bay, but we liked the chill factor and not having to worry if we sat in the couch in our swimsuit. Owners did a great job with decor in that respect. And decent Wi-Fi reception too!

We had an amazing stay at Casa Palmeras. The location is truly paradise, and the villa is top-notch. Big living areas, large bedrooms, and amazing outdoor space--the house is set back from the beach just a little farther than the others, and the palm trees provide shade and privacy. The kayaks are brand new and there are PFDs at the house to help keep everyone safe. While snorkeling, we saw a ton of fish, manta rays, turtles, and beautiful reef/coral. Soliman Bay is special in that it has a protective reef around the outside, so the waves don't break on the shore here. That meant we could take our 5-year-old swimming and snorkeling with ease. The water is shallow and not rocky...it's really one of the nicest beaches I've ever been to.

The real highlight of Casa Palmeras, though, are the caretakers Noe and Elizabeth. They are genuinely some of the kindest people I've ever met and kept the house in perfect shape both inside and out. Raking the beach and the grounds, cleaning the house/kitchen/bedrooms/bathrooms, and making us dinner. By the second day, they weren't the caretakers, they were truly our friends and felt like a part of our family. They are phenomenal cooks, and if you have the chance, I highly recommend the shrimp skewers and pollo pibil. And the flan...my god, the flan. Elizabeth makes the best flan I've ever had. We ate at Pandano one night (five-star restaurant down the beach) and the flan there paled in comparison.

If Casa Palmeras works for your group, I'd book it without a second thought. We will be back for sure--it was an unforgettable experience.

This is a beautiful home. Perfect for 3 couples, we all had our own bathrooms. Very clean with lovely well maintained grounds and pool, right on the white sandy beach. It came with 6 lounge chairs and 5 kayaks. The couple who were caretakers, and lived on the property, worked tirelessly to make our stay comfortable and easy, one night they made us a delicious dinner, they were beautiful people, and catered to our every need. The only negative was the seaweed. It made the beach unswimable and because of the disgusting smell very nausiating to even sit outside on the patio, let alone on the beach. I had no idea about this problem when I booked. I was sent a message with a warning it may be there about 2 weeks before our departure. It has apparently been there consistently for about 4 years the locals told us. It is so sad to see such a beautiful place spoiled like this.
Manager response on 2025-09-25 - Response from Akumal Direct Reservations
Thank you, Janine. We’re glad you enjoyed Casa Palmeras and the caretakers' hospitality. Sargasso blooms are unpredictable during the summer months and vary by beach; it’s not consistently present year-round, as may have been a language mix-up with locals. Please let us know when you're ready to join us again, and we'll be happy to help you navigate through the seasons blooms to find the best property and plan another great vacation.

If you are looking for a space that allows you to be outdoors all day, this is it. Lots of shade, a pool, breezes... Noe and Elizabeth were such a special treat, kind to the children, helpful, but not intrusive. They cooked dinner for us two nights, the food was better than any restaurants we ate at, more affordable, and so convenient. There was some sargrasso, but the kayaking and snorkeling were great. Two restaurants within walking distance, both with great sargrasso free beaches to enjoy! We enjoyed the cold ac in all rooms. Wonderful family vacation!

We were fortunate to find this gem last minute after being extremely underwhelmed by another rental that we hated & left. What a blessing! Casa Palmeras is located in the gorgeous Solimon Bay and the house itself is meticulous and simply beautiful. Every amenity we could think of was provided and then some-snorkle gear, kayaks, floats, etc. The caretakers, Noe & Elizabeth, were incredible & went above and beyond in every possible way-They cooked for us three nights (A MUST!!) & Elizabeth even did my laundry! My Family loved our week in paradise & I highly recommend if you're looking for a relaxed vacation in a place of the beaten path. Oh, and there are two great restaurants on the bay within walking distance!! We didn't want to leave!

House was wonderful and house keepers were even better! The location was great, quiet and private but only 15 minutes drive to Tulum center. The grounds are very well maintained and the beach is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, etc. The rooms are all very spacious and comfortable. I highly recommend having the house keepers (Noyes and Elizabeth) cook for you for dinner. They are incredible chefs and offer a variety of traditional Mexican dishes.
The outside space is lovely, just bring some bug spray with you. A few people in our group got some bug bites, but wasn’t that bad at all considering all the benefits of this house.
Overall, highly recommend!!! 10/10

Family of 7 adults and 2 children ages 3 and 6 stayed for 9 nights. Everything was perfect. We arrived late the first night and Noe and Elizabeth were there to greet us and help with luggage.
The house was perfect size, very clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped with pots/pans/utensils.
Noe and Elizabeth were so amazing! They were super nice, made sure everything was clean and took pride in the care of the home.
There is lots of outdoor areas to enjoy and the beach is great! We have stayed in Soliman Bay and Akumal before and this house is now our favorite because of the house layout and also Noe and Elizabeth.
There are 2 close restaurants you can walk to that we enjoyed and also you can have meals prepared at the house.
The house is right between Tulum and Akumal so we were able to enjoy activities in both areas along with close grocery shopping at Chedraui (our favorite).

We stayed at Casa Palmeras for a week and it exceeded every expectation. Seven beautiful sunrises from our own private beach. Caretakers Noé and Elisabet were exceptional. Elisabet cooked dinner for us four days, she is a gifted cook, every meal was spectacular. We wished we had booked the house for much longer. David Palencia was a great concierge, answered all our questions, made super suggestions and booked a fabulous cenote adventure for us. Best vacation ever.

This property was perfect for our group of 6, 2 adults and 4 teenagers. The house is in a prime location in Soliman Bay. The beach has perfect sand, great sun exposure, and amazing snorkeling right out front. The house and property were immaculate. The space between the house and the beach allows for privacy without making you feel too far away from the ocean. We were extremely well taken care of by the lovely couple who live onsite. They cooked us amazing meals, and kept the house and property clean and orderly during our entire stay. They are helpful, but never intrusive.
I would not hesitate to recommend this rental, and we will definitely be staying here again!

The house and beach are absolutely beautiful but what really puts this property over the top is the wonderful hard working caretakers Elizabeth and Noe. They keep the property in spotless condition all while being very unobtrusive. They cooked dinner for us four out of the seven nights, which was a delicious treat and well worth the reasonable cost.

I really loved this property! The home was very clean and stayed clean throughout our stay, thanks to the wonderful caretakers. The beach is beautiful, our kids loved kayaking everyday. They found amazing seashells. My favorite thing about this house is the grounds. There’s beautiful palm trees and tropical plants everywhere. We are planning to return next year!

Our time at Casa Palmeras was one of the best vacations I've ever had. The location was superb - the house is on a bay with calm water, and a reef for snorkelling. We were a party of 8, 5 of whom were kids, and they swam in the ocean all the time.

The house was well appointed and comfortable. Our hosts, Noe and Elizabeth, were kind and attentive, and looked after us.

Beds were comfortable, and the kayaks on the beach were a great addition - we used them all the time!

While we were there a Mama Sea Turtle laid her eggs on our beech, which was very cool for our kids to experience.

I am already planning our next trip there!

Normally the beach, the house, even the location would be the highlight Iliff any trip. Yes, the beach was amazing, the house was nice(beds are horribly uncomfortable) and the location was gorgeous! But out highlight was Noe and Elizabeth. Amazing caretakers. The property was in pristine condition and Elizabeth's cooking was delcicous. Often times people get over looked because it's so routine but they went above and beyond daily. Great vacation and my family would love to go back sooner then later.

Our family of 10 came from the U.S. and wanted to enjoy as much time as possible on the beach. This house is part of a community of beachfront properties, had lots of indoor space and rooms, and a sprawling back section that unfolded onto the ocean. The house also had staff that stayed on the property.

Our two families had a wonderful time at Casa Palmeras. The accomodations were spacious, clean, and comfortable. We spent lots of time in the pool and lounging on the decks. Noe and Lis take great care of the place, and their meals are better than anything you'll get at a restaurant! The only issue with our stay was totally out of everyone's control: sargassum prevented us from snorkeling and kayaking as much as we would have liked. Still a lovely stay, and we would definitely return!

If you're looking for a relaxing beach getaway in Mexico, I highly recommend staying at this lovely vacation rental. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The caretakers, Noe and Elizabeth were friendly and attentive, ensuring that our needs were met throughout the duration of our trip. Let them cook and food shop for you. There is a cost associated with this service, but well worth it!

The location was perfect for those seeking some peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The sargassum came early this year but Noe was on top of keeping the beach as clear as possible.

Overall, our experience at Casa Palmeras was truly unforgettable, and we would definitely stay at this vacation rental again in the future. If you're looking for a peaceful, relaxing vacation with clean accommodations and lovely caretakers, this is the perfect spot for you!

The accommodations were as expected or better and suited our crew (3 grandparents, 2 couples, and 2 small kids) well! We enjoyed the sunrises, ability to walk the beachfront and sand/calm waters of the bay, which were easy to lounge in as the littles easily played. We also loved the outdoor, covered table which comfortably sat 8 plus a high chair in a perfect oasis of a backyard.

The caretakers were very friendly and we saw them each day changing out drinking water, cleaning up, turning beds, and cleaning up the beachfront. Definitely book them to cook you a meal (chiles rellenos and ceviche were among our favorites).

Property is well maintained. Beds were comfortable, individual AC units in the rooms gave flexibility. Watch out for seaweed (which the caretakers do clean up) & wind coming into the bay depending on time of year. Location was great! Cenotes galore, Tulum, and grocery stores are not far off.

We loved it here!

Casa Palmeras is a wonderful place to vacation. The house is roomy and very comfortable. The outdoor spaces are nicely landscaped and well maintained. The beach is beautiful and the bay is large and calm for swimming. We also enjoyed the kayaks and snorkeling. The caretaker and housekeeper are very friendly and helpful - we arranged for them to make dinners which were a delicious treat. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking and the only issue was a leaky water line under the sink which the caretaker arranged to have fixed the next day. Akumal Direct was helpful, efficient and very responsive when we had questions.

Since staying at this house I have sent the link to SO many people because I can’t stop raving about our trip. The house is clean and nice, the beds are comfortable. It’s such a great setup for a big family our group because it has a large dining table inside and out, and large sofas also inside and out. The pool and private beach make it so fun and easy for kids, with shady lounge spots near both of them for the parents to lounge. There are kayaks and (if you bring your own stuff - even goggles alone) there’s great snorkeling right outside your door too. The most unexpected perk of the house was the staff thought. There are housekeepers to help with dishes, cleaning, sand sweeping, etc to make it so you don’t have to worry or clean and can truly relax and enjoy your time. We had them cook dinner for us too and it was incredible. They are the sweetest couple and felt like family. It’s within a gated community so it is very safe feeling. Also, they have a concierge service who will help you with any activities you’re interested in (touring ruins, exploring Cenotes - a must!, etc.) They had great info and recommendations. We didn’t partake but they also offered to arrange in home spa services. And the house staff will do your laundry for a small fee if needed. It was. A dreamy spot and I can’t wait to go back! Thank you so much!

The house was lovely, with large air conditioned bedrooms (and all spaces), very clean, and nicely appointed, but not too fancy you'd worry about bringing kids there. The dipping pool was lovely, and lounge chairs there and out beachside under palapas. Decent snorkeling right out front. Caretakers Noe and Elizabeth were darling, super helpful but not intrusive. Elizabeta made 2 delicious meals for us which lasted through lunch and dinner the next day. Fresh bottled water tanks in each bedroom and kitchen, which was well stocked. Also highly recommend the massages, on-site. Ask Noe and he will arrange! Sadly the beach along the bay has far more trash on it than when I was there 6 years ago. Caretakers clean up the portion in front of the house, but not great beach walking due to the trash.

We absolutely loved our stay and had the most wonderful experience! Elisabeth and Noe were the sweetest caretakers, did cleaning, supplied fresh towels every day, and even did our laundry (I paid her extra even though she said no charge) ALSO they cooked for us 3 nights and I wish we had had them cook for us every night, it was INCREDIBLE! Sooo delicious! They made us pollo pibil, steak, homemade empanadas, shrimp, etc etc. nothing like getting home from a day out at Cenotes to the smell of delicious dinner cooking. We just loved the house, the beach was pristine, and everything felt very safe. We will be coming back! Thank you!

There were 4 couples who enjoyed this lovely slice of paradise. 3 bedrooms in the main house and a separate guesthouse. The guesthouse faces the street and does get some traffic noise and no view of the ocean. All beds and pillows were very comfortable. The main house and grounds were kept immaculate as well as the guest house. Plenty of outdoor seating and the ocean is just steps away. Truly a slice of heaven on earth. Noa and Elizabeth were the care takers and cooked us some fabulous meals...I highly recommend the shrimp kabobs and the empanadas! They worked hard every day cleaning, providing fresh linens, and grounds keeping. They also made arrangements for massages for 5 of us at the house which was perfect. We enjoyed the kayaks, we brought our own snorkel gear and enjoyed seeing the reefs and beautiful fish. Would definitely stay here again.

We had an amazing stay at Casa Palmeras. The location is truly paradise, and the villa is top-notch. Big living areas, large bedrooms, and amazing outdoor space--the house is set back from the beach just a little farther than the others, and the palm trees provide shade and privacy. The kayaks are brand new and there are PFDs at the house to help keep everyone safe. While snorkeling, we saw a ton of fish, manta rays, turtles, and beautiful reef/coral. Soliman Bay is special in that it has a protective reef around the outside, so the waves don't break on the shore here. That meant we could take our 5-year-old swimming and snorkeling with ease. The water is shallow and not 's really one of the nicest beaches I've ever been to.

The real highlight of Casa Palmeras, though, are the caretakers Noe and Elizabeth. They are genuinely some of the kindest people I've ever met and kept the house in perfect shape both inside and out. Raking the beach and the grounds, cleaning the house/kitchen/bedrooms/bathrooms, and making us dinner. By the second day, they weren't the caretakers, they were truly our friends and felt like a part of our family. They are phenomenal cooks, and if you have the chance, I highly recommend the shrimp skewers and pollo pibil. And the god, the flan. Elizabeth makes the best flan I've ever had. We ate at Pandano one night (five-star restaurant down the beach) and the flan there paled in comparison.

If Casa Palmeras works for your group, I'd book it without a second thought. We will be back for sure--it was an unforgettable experience.

We Loved Casa Palmeras!!!

This was the perfect place for our family vacation. We are a family of 5, with 3 kids under 11 and the 2 bedrooms on the second floor were plenty for us. If you had another guest they would have been very comfortable in the 3rd floor apartment, but that only has access via the deck so we kept the kids inside. Next time we will just bring someone else to enjoy the space!

Regarding the beach, it was beautiful and peaceful. The sand was very soft and we loved snorkeling, swimming, building sand castles, climbing the coconut trees, sea kayaking, lounging, reading and taking beach walks.

Noe and Elizabeth are the caretakers and they are wonderful. They made us dinner everyday, kept the house clean, raked the beach and cleaned up the seaweed (which was not very bad at all during our stay). I would highly recommend using their cooking services. I would suggest waiting to order meals until you get there so you can discuss your dining needs, how much food to prepare, etc. They like 1 day notice - bring cash. If you are arriving early afternoon and are not driving yourself I would recommend asking them to prepare a lunch in advance. There are a couple restaurants but they are quite a walk form the house. Regarding groceries, we used a food stocking service - Riviera Maya Groceries. They were very accommodating but I would ask the taxi driver to stop and pick up some drinks and snacks at the gas station before you arrive since its possible your groceries won't be there until late afternoon.

We were there in mid-March 2020, the week that the Coronavirus hit so unfortunately we had to cut our stay short to get back to the states. However we can/t wait to go back again! As I said this was the perfect place for our family. I have been to Mexico a lot but never before to Soliman Bay. If you want a lot of people and a resort vibe this is not for you, but if you want a gorgeous beach with peace and quiet I would check this place out. Make sure to say hi to
