Casa Texana [1]
Fantastic!
Reviewed on 2024-01-17 by , Harrisonburg, VA United StatesThe house was incredible and had plenty of room for our families--plus lots of nooks to enjoy. The beach was beautiful and the snorkeling directly our from the house was amazing. You are a bit isolated and will need to drive to get places but liked being off the beaten path from the more touristy areas. The caretakers were so helpful and kind. Highly recommend!

Best Birthday Trip of Our Lives!
Reviewed on 2023-11-17 by Patrick P. , Orlando, FL United StatesThings we wish were a little better but wasn’t a deal breaker. The kitchen cutlery was not so great. All random knives and most were dull. a simple $100 cutlery set would make a world of difference for guests who like to cook. The cooktop burners were intermittent. The large burners wouldn’t light and when they did, they wouldn’t stay on. This was troublesome as we hired a private chef for a birthday dinner and they struggled. The oven was cumbersome to figure out. We finally got it and wasn’t an issue after that but the chef had trouble. The outdoor shower didn’t work. Again not a big deal as we had a pool but would have been nice to shower in warm water after the ocean. Again these are very small critiques. I would 100% rent this property again and recommend it to my friends.
Tips for future renters: Bring water shoes, the walk into the ocean is a little rocky but clears up as you get out. Bring mask and snorkel, the water is crystal clear and there’s beautiful coral 50’ out. Order pesos at you
The house was beautiful and very clean. Roger, Gaby, and Christina took very good care of us and helped with anything needed from transportation services to laundry. The house was very well stocked with everything a rental should be. The kitchen had plenty of supplies for your whole group. No need to buy drinking water, the house comes stocked with it. On our way we stopped at Sam’s for supplies, wish we would have taken inventory at the house first, there were a few duplicates we bought that were already supplied (sugar, coffee, etc.). The beach was beautiful, the pool was clean and beautiful (little cold though), the roof top for sun rises and sunsets was amazing. All the AC’s worked great and cooled the house quick. The balcony dining table was plenty big enough for all 10 of our party. Honestly the grounds and house was perfect for our group with the exception of a couple small critiques. <br/><br/>Things we wish were a little better but wasn’t a deal breaker.

Fantastic stay!
Reviewed on 2023-04-25 by Jane U. , MexicoI stayed here with 10 friends and family. House was clean and comfortable. And the location was absolutely fantastic. We payed for a boat to take us out to the reef and unfortunately that reef looks really sick. But the sea life and plants at the beach where the house is looks great! So many fish to see , water warm and clear. Great for swimming and snorkeling. We spent hours every day in the ocean. The pool is very nice also, but you can't beat the sea. We were mostly an older group and the only possible criticism I could have is that there are no railings on any of the stairs and the paving in the entry is very uneven. (one in our party is 90yo). The caretakers are very helpful and great cooks. We had them make dinners and we ate leftovers for breakfast and lunch. I ordered groceries with Roger before our arrival. Hoping th return next April!

Reviewed on 2022-10-14 by John Y. , WOODY CREEK, CO United Stateswe stayed here in may and love the house and location. however, with the construction, they should never be charging full price. they sent an email after we booked it that the construction would be going on and that if we booked in the future we could have a discount. well this was our second visit in four months and that should have been offered immediately. The house is amazing with the location, however, it is in need of a deep cleaning, and with construction....i never would have paid full price.

Great house, great place
Reviewed on 2022-10-03 by Carl H. , Littleton, CO USCasa Texana is a beautiful home in a wonderful location. The house was modern, well equipped and immaculate. The staff was efficient and accommodating. Communications with the rental management company was easy and open. We were a family of six, including two small grandchildren who enjoyed all the amenities, most especially the beautiful beach right outside the house. The pool was beautiful as well. Our thanks to the management and staff of Casa Texana!

Good things to know
Reviewed on 2022-06-16 by Kevin G. , Topeka, KS USOrder your groceries online and have them waiting when you arrive. However, consider your shopping list after you decide what days to eat out, have the caretakers cook for you (they shop for what they are going to cook) or if you are cooking at the house. Bottled water, coffee filters, spices and sugar are all plentiful and included.
Download WhatsApp. Everyone uses it there.
Find a taxi driver you trust and save his/her number in WhatsApp. We usually paid $20 for a taxi, each way, for the ride to/from Akumal, no matter how many passengers. The town is small but there are several neat shops and places to eat.
We walked to town one day on the beach. It is a long walk in my opinion and I would not recommend it for everyone. It’s over a mile.
The guide book in your house explains that a tip for good/great service from your caretakers should result in a $200-400 tip. Be prepared because we ended the week with barely enough cash to tip them with as this was not noted anywhere else.
The house is beautiful and steps from the beach. The pool is right out the back door and was our primary choice due to the seaweed that builds up each day on the shore. Dedicated workers are constantly carting it off but it is endless. Kayaks and paddle boards are provided. The beach sand is nice but doesn’t extend very far into the water so water shoes are a must.
The property is very clean and updated. For maximum relaxation, ask the caretakers (Gaby and Christina) to do your shopping and cook for you. For nine people we spent $950. This included 2 meals per day for 5 days. When we went out to Taverna or Lol Ha (both delicious) the bill was around $450 for 9 people. Granted this included drinks, dinner and dessert.<br/><br/>Order your groceries online and have them waiting when you arrive.

A Little Slice of Heaven
Reviewed on 2022-05-21 by , WOODY CREEK, CO United StatesMy family and I have been to Playa, Mayakoba and Soloman Bay and really love this area. We decided to try Akumal this time. This area was by far our favorite! The house was in a great location. Very peaceful, but just a few minutes away from restaurants and the grocery. The concierge was amazing and Gabi and Christina were great! The seaweed was definitely there, but the location of Casa Texana seemed to be the best in the bay for not having an over abundance of it. The only complaint we had is the house felt like it needed a deep cleaning. Other than that, perfection! We did not want to leave this little slice of heaven!

TN at Casa Texana
Reviewed on 2022-04-04 by Ed S. , MexicoCasa Texana was perfect for our family of 5 adults & 2 young grandchildren. Enough privacy and ample social area. Loved the pool & location. Learning curve was the only issue. Should have rented a car, the taxis were very expensive until we found one that was reasonable at the end of our stay. When I finally contacted Katie about using our cell phones, that issue was resolved. The walk to Akumal along the beach was longer than we were told, plus the rocky sections required shoes. Now a bit smarter, we will definitely consider staying there again. Loco ****** service and support was excellent.

Reviewed on 2022-02-02 by Stevane M. , Arvada, CO United StatesWe had such an amazing experience staying at Casa Texana. The hosts, one being Gavi(sp) were amazing, along with the food and drinks they prepared for us two of the nights we were there, including check-in. The beds were comfortable. The home was clean when checking in and cleaned every day. We will definitely recommend to friends heading to Akumal. Thank you for everything Casa Texana, we had the most amazing stay!!
Casa Texana Did Not Disappoint!
Reviewed on 2021-11-12 by , Kennesaw, GA United StatesThe photos don't begin to describe how beautiful the house, beach and area is. We do recommend that you have water shoes as areas of the beach are very rocky. Gabriel and Christina (house maintenance/cleaners) were amazing. The kitchen is well stocked with lots of dishes, kitchen gadgets, etc. A couple of minor issues while there but nothing that would warrant a lower score. Guest support/services could have been a little more proactive but we managed to find some great restaurants and beach bars in close proximity on our own. Definitely worth checking out. We will be back!
