Great family Thanksgiving week!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We took my in-laws and husbands sisters family to Akumal for Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time! Casa Cielo was perfect in every way. There was plenty of space, clean accommodations, great food by Marcy, and a relaxing beach area. We took the kayaks out several times, did a catamaran trip from Playa, visited Cozumel for a day, and went wakeboarding at the Mayan Water Complex. Transportation to/from Tulum was seamless and I recommend using Manda's suggestions and help.

Great place to stay on the beach!

This place is incredible! It is located right on the beach, near great restaurants in Akumal. You can make a short drive and be in Tulum or a cenote. The staff at the house is amazing. Suzy and Marcy cooked us an amazing dinner. Manda is extremely knowledgeable about the area and very responsive.

Picture perfect

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Before we went, I thought the photos of the Casa might have been edited, but the place is just as beautiful as the photos suggest. It was magical to wake up, walk out on the French doors, past the pool, and sit on the beach to watch the sun come up.The staff were attentive, cooked some great meals for us, kept the place spotless and arranged trips to Tulum, a cenote and shopping. We had a full house, 13 people ranging from 1 to 80 years old and we never felt crowded. Everyone had a great time and had only positive things to say. We would go back in a heartbeat.Definitely recommended!

Casa Cielo Heaven

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family of 6 adults and 3 young children had a fabulous time at Casa Cielo. The house was very clean and well equipped with boats, sand toys, beach chairs, etc. Marcello and Suzie, the house managers (cleaners and cooks) were so hospitable and pleasant. They cooked three meals for us - all were amazing-better than the restaurants! The snorkeling right in front of the house was quite good (even though it wasn't turtle season) but I recommend Yal Kul lagoon for snorkeling (get there early- tour groups come later). I highly recommend Casa Cielo for a relaxing family time!

It was so nice!

Property was more beautiful than the pictures. Staff and Amanda were welcoming and always available. Be sure and stock up at local grocery stores as you won’t want to leave. Kayaking and snorkeling was amazing. Grandkids loved the pool; it stayed pretty warm. Perfect neighborhood and beach.

Wonderful villa and fabulous caretakers

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The villa is as described - beautiful, spacious and in a well-kept community. The beach area is fabulous, and we spent hours snorkeling, kayaking and floating in the warm Caribbean Sea. You do need water shoes – some are provided but we brought our own so I can’t comment on those provided. Contrary to the listing, the pool is not heated, but it is comfortable and clean.The villa is well-equipped, from kitchen supplies to toys, games, beach towels and water sports equipment. Basic paper goods, coffee, coffee filters and shower supplies are provided, and the huge Chedraui supermarket, 10-15 minutes away, has everything else you need.Akumal Beach is a five-minute drive and has some fun restaurants and souvenir shops, and Turtle Bay Cafe has the best ice cream ever! The caretakers, Susie and Marcy, went above and beyond, arranging a visit to their personal doctor when one of our little ones was ill. They also cooked a delicious meal for a relaxing evening in. (We also took advantage of the gas grill for another evening in.)Welcome night fajitas and breakfast breads were much appreciated. We would not hesitate to stay at Casa del Cielo again.

Casa Del Cielo is Fantastic!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family of 10 and three generations absolutely loved our week at Casa Cielo. Marcy and Susy are the best and you cannot go wrong with having them cook up meals for you. Villa hosts/concierges Manda and Jennifer are delightful and insured we had everything we needed. The Villa is on the beach and very secluded. It was and idyllic vacation and we will be back.Akumal Direct are efficient and helpful. My only complaint is with the transportation company they use. Next time I will likely use another company for airport transfers to and from Akumal.

Amazing!!! A bucket list item!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent seven days/six nights at the Casa Cielo. It was an incredible trip. The bedrooms and bathrooms are very spacious. The living room, a well-stocked kitchen and the dining area worked great for our family of 12. The casita worked perfectly for our teenage son and his buddy. The terrace was perfect for the sunsets. We spend hours on the covered patio. The shaded and beautiful private beach (which was kept sargassum free by workers daily) is steps from the house. The kids loved the private pool. Kayaks, a paddle board, pool toys, water shoes and snorkeling equipment are all readily available. The pictures don't do the property justice. Manda was incredible helping us schedule our trips to swim with the turtles, see Maya ruins and swim in a cenote, answering our questions, and bringing us breakfast pastries. Marci and Suzi cooked three meals for us and the two of them were one of our favorite parts of the trip! We HIGHLY recommend a stay at Casa Cielo and we hope to make it back sometime in the future.

Beautiful Property

The property is beautiful. There were issues with a few amenities but those were promptly addressed by Jennifer. It was easy to communicate with the Property Manager. The on-site caretakers prepared delicious meals during the stay (not part of the rental) and kept the property clean. We enjoyed our stay here.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of nine, ranging from 22 months to 65 years had a fantastic stay at Casa Cielo. We were all charmed by the Mexican decor and art and loved the ease of stepping out the door directly to the pool and beach. The house layout worked extremely well for our multiigeneration family. Akumal Direct was terrific and easy to deal with. The caretaker/chefs Susie and Marcelo were amazing. They prepared delicious local dishes and requested Mexican specialties each night for dinner. We were spoiled by the chefs and by house manager, Jen, who delivered fajitas, fresh fruit, and baked goods from Turtle Bay Cafe upon our arrival. Casa Cielo was ideal for us!

Great week at Villa Cielo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented Villa Cielo for a week in early Feb with our 4 adult children and their spouses. The house worked out perfectly for us. Each of the 5 bedrooms had its own bath (prefect when dealing with couples). The service we received was outstanding. Prior to our trip Marcia of ADR was very helpful even suggesting Easyway Rental Car which turned out to be a great option for our large group. Then once we got there Jenn took over as the house manager stopping by several times making sure we had everything we needed. When we arrived Jenn had arranged for a large platter of fresh fruit and Chicken fajita stir fry to be to be waiting for us. Perfect for the first night there when everyone is tired from flying in. This was a really nice touch.The onsite house keeping crew was very good, keeping the place clean without interfering with our use of the house.I was concerned that there would be a shortage of restaurants within a close drive but there turned out to be several very good ones. We didn't have a bad meal and only had to drive 10 minutes. I'd recommend La Buena Vida, a fun place right on the water and for a unique experience try Namaste Jungle Restaurant. Namaste is has a unique setting right in a wildlife rescue preserve and the food was excellent and reasonably priced.One more note on the Cielo service. They provide kayaks and a SUP for use in the ocean. When we got there most of the paddles were in pretty bad shape. I messaged Jenn and the next day they delivered new paddles. What service. One minor note, there is no hot tub and the pool is not heated so if you happen to be there during a cool spell it can be chilly
