Casa Sunray [1]
Good but not great (Apr 2026)
Reviewed on 2026-04-21 by Dustin W. , MexicoWe were 9 people using the main house/casita. Overall a pleasant stay, but we felt the value for money is on the low side. Nice location, right on the beach though heavy sargassum (little effort to remove it from our beachfront). Decent "reef" for snorkeling, nice bay for kayaking (2 kayaks provided). Access road in poor condition, but no problem with SUV. <br/><br/>We arrived an hour after check-in time (4pm), and the maintenance person was still cleaning, and the pool was dirty, cloudy, and unusable until the next day. Not a major issue, but not exactly a welcoming feeling. <br/><br/>The kitchen was well-stocked with cutlery/crockery/cookware (only S&P in terms of food supplies), but many things were/felt very "used" and/or a bit grimy. Coffee pot was broken (no coffee on our 1st morning) but replaced; stove/oven needed to be lit with a lighter. On their own, not huge issues, but collectively felt a bit cheap/run-down. <br/><br/>A couple pool toys for the kids which was appreciated, but the large container of snorkel gear was at least 50% broken or missing matching pairs.<br/><br/>The maintenance/cleaning staff (Jose and Marisol) were hard-working and friendly. It was a bit awkward in our opinion, as we didn't enjoy having two strangers (as nice as they were) walking around while we enjoy family time, or asking us to vacate rooms so they can clean. There was a miscommunication on the first day, where we asked if they could limit a deep clean (sweep, mop, bedrooms) to every other day, whereas trash/dishes could be done daily. They still continued to clean everything every day, yet left dishes and trashes on a couple occasions (and never cleaned pool). Upon request, they did provide a music player quickly, but took several days to put up a rope for drying clothes. And we're still expected to "tip" US$230/week. <br/><br/>The manager Rhett showed up one morning (no notice) and provided some useful tips and a contact number.<br/><br/>Beware the intruding raccoons!

3rd Visit a Good One
Reviewed on 2024-08-20 by Patricia H. , MexicoWe enjoyed our week-long stay at Casa Gray, total of 11 family members. We last stayed there about 9 years ago. The Casa is well stocked with most necessities and the staff is very accomodating.

Formerly Casa Gray, Casa Sunray has a fresh look and the same unbeatable location—right on Aventuras Akumal Beach, one of the Riviera Maya’s most stunning shores.
This vibrant oceanfront home blends Mexican artisan charm with tropical flair, featuring five incredible murals painted by artists from the Akumal Arts Festival—perfect for Instagram!
The property includes a 3BR/3BA main house and a separate 2BR/2BA casita, ideal for large groups or multi-gen families. Inside, enjoy a bright open layout with a sunken living room, fully equipped kitchen, and sweeping ocean views.
Step from your patio onto powdery sand or lounge by the private pool surrounded by palms, outdoor dining areas, and a grill for easy beachside cookouts. Don’t miss “Beryl,” the beach’s favorite piece of driftwood-turned-local landmark!
Each air-conditioned bedroom is cozy and stylish, with ocean or garden views. The casita offers added privacy with its own kitchen and living area.
Snorkel or kayak right off the beach, or explore nearby Tulum ruins, Playa del Carmen nightlife, and colorful Akumal Pueblo.
Relax, explore, and make unforgettable memories at Casa Sunray—Akumal’s most colorful beachfront escape.
