Private Villa in Akumal, Steps to Yal Ku Lagoon Half Moon Bay, Huge Heated Pool

Water pressure is bathrooms; No access to beach.

The Villa and staff were wonderful. Clean, big living areas, nice pool with perfect temperature water, great AC in every room. Only wish we would have known more about access to Half Moon Bay and Akumal Bay, as we love to snorkel, and had no idea how controlled the beaches are there. Within walking distance to Yal Ku Lagoon, Half Moon Bay, and several restaurants, convenience stores, and shops. To get on Half Moon Bay, pay to park, pay an entrance fee, and then pay a guide. Same with Akumal Bay, but Lol Ha Restaurant has a decent deal to buy food there, and get free beach access. Akumal Pueblo is a nice little town, with delicious tamales for sale in the center around 6:30pm every night, for about $1 USD each. Daily housekeeping was a nice treat. Prudy and Alberto (the Villa staff) were extremely helpful and responsive to any issues. Very quiet and safe location. Comfortable and clean villa with plenty of space for families. Owner was responsive and helpful to our pre-trip inquiries. A/C worked great. Room for improvement: Some info provided by the owner was out of date (cost of Yal Ku tickets, and names of property staff). Information on how to access Half Moon Bay and Akumal Bay for swimming/snorkeling would be very helpful, and tips on scams to watch out for. Shampoo and soap were provided (good!), but no conditioner. Outdoor showers were very nice! Access to washer/dryer would be great but did fine without it.

We had a lovely stay at Villa Josefina in December of 2023. The property was a perfect size for our family of 6. Everything well appointed, clean and as advertised. Prudi is a huge help and takes care of everything that you need. Cherri provided excellent communication beforehand and was easily reachable. We loved the relaxed feel of Akumal - it fit us perfectly. We all had a wonderful stay and would certainly consider returing again.
