Enjoy Glorious Villa Margarita, right on the ocean, Jade Bay Akumal.
Jade Bay es una hermosa zona nueva en la espectacular Riviera Maya al sur de Playa del Carmen. La bahía forma una playa de arena blanca y coralina similar a la bahía de Akumal, a un paseo de distancia. Villa Margarita es una de las pocas villas en Jade Bay. La privacidad y la seguridad son excelentes, pero hay una variedad de tiendas, restaurantes, esnórquel y recreación a solo minutos de distancia.
Villa Margarita ofrece más de 3,000 pies cuadrados de vida lujosa con capacidad para 10 personas. Esta encantadora villa también ofrece servicio de mucama completo y un jardinero 6 días por semana. El desayuno continental se sirve todos los días, excepto los fines de semana. Hay cuatro habitaciones grandes con aire acondicionado, tres arriba y una abajo, cada una con su propio baño y patio con vista al mar. Las cubiertas individuales se abren a las vistas privadas del océano Caribe y a la lujosa brisa marina. No habrá lanzamiento de monedas para la mejor habitación en Villa Margarita, ¡cada habitación es una habitación principal!
Tres de las habitaciones tienen camas king size fijas y una tiene un rey que puede separarse en dos gemelos; Un arreglo para cualquier grupo. Además, en el segundo piso hay una sala de televisión por satélite con aire acondicionado y totalmente equipada con VCR y reproductor de DVD, 2 sofás cama futón, baño compartido y su propio patio privado con vistas a la selva y al pueblo de Akumal.
La sala de estar y el comedor dan al océano en el primer piso, donde una pared de puertas corredizas del patio lo invita a disfrutar de la refrescante piscina a solo 3 pasos de distancia, así como las olas del Caribe más allá. Detrás, cuando miras hacia el océano, hay un bar sentado conectado a la cocina a través de un arco abierto. Dos escalones lo llevan al vestíbulo, salpicado de luz natural que se derrama desde la cúpula de arriba. ¡Mira hacia arriba a través de la abertura ovalada en el techo, a través del segundo piso con su baranda de hierro, hacia el techo del segundo piso donde una cúpula alta con cúpula de ladrillo derrama luz natural por todas partes! Hay ventiladores de techo en todas partes.
Desde el vestíbulo, ingresa a la cocina moderna y totalmente equipada con una amplia vista del bar al comedor y más allá de la piscina y el océano, un lugar perfecto para preparar una comida o esas Margaritas para Happy Hour alrededor de la piscina. Si prefiere la cocina informal al aire libre, querrá usar la barbacoa de propano y la cocina al aire libre y la barra húmeda ubicada al lado de la entrada principal. Fuera del vestíbulo y cerca de las escaleras, encontrará el medio baño / tocador, así como la entrada a la habitación del piso principal. Los muebles son mexicanos con brillantes telas de estilo caribeño. Desde la sala de estar y el comedor, sale a un patio cubierto que bordea la refrescante piscina con profundidades seguras para niños y adultos.
Imagínese balanceándose en una hamaca debajo de la palapa junto a la playa o relajándose en un salón junto a la piscina, mirando el océano turquesa, disfrutando de la suave brisa y el susurro de las palmeras de coco. Navega por la bahía en los kayaks de mar de la villa. Pruebe un tour de pesca guiado, un viaje de snorkel o buceo para un día emocionante. ¡El cielo podría ser una copia de esto!
Si prefiere una percha aún más alta para tomar el sol por la tarde, cócteles por la noche o mirar las estrellas por la noche, tome la escalera de caracol hasta el techo panorámico para disfrutar de una vista fantástica del océano y la selva circundantes. ¡Incluso puedes dormir bajo las estrellas!
¡Villa Margarita tiene absolutamente todo lo que necesita para unas vacaciones inolvidables en el paraíso tropical conocido como la Riviera Maya!

Our experience was phenomenal! The house was spacious and provided all we needed or even wanted to have a great experience. The staff was wonderful and always available and willing to help. the pool was refreshing, the ocean beautiful, and the location private yet close enough to anything we wanted. We have stayed at a number of places in Akumal, but this is the best suited for our growing family. Due to contracting Covid, we had to stay a few extra days, and the renters and staff were very helpful.

Simply perfect
Wow. Simply wow. We enjoyed our time at the villa for the week. The home is beyond what we imagined and everything was perfect. Daily breakfast was made by Yesenia she then would clean the home from top to bottom regardless of us using primary the lower level of the home. The yard and pool also well cared for. Such pride is taken every day in the care and upkeep of not only the guest but the home. We were treated to a dinner prepared by Elias in the Villa. It was delicious and also had Flan for dessert.
We hope to make this our new anniversary spot! Hope to stay again soon.

Just Great
The care takers Yesenia & Elias took great care of the property. Yesenia does a full clean everyday & Elias takes great care of the pool and grounds. Great to have clean towels.The property is just as described & great for my family of 8 with 4 month baby (maybe just need new portable crib).Beach was beautiful to walk every day!The only negative was not having access to washer & drier. I missed this when I booked and with small baby would have been very helpful, but this was on me and not the property. You can have Yesenia do you laundry for a small cost.Would stay again if we come back to area.

Villa Margarita is an exceptional property in Jade Bay. When the waves are calm, the sea kayaks are a major bonus to the view, the Villa and the location. Elias and Yesenia were outstanding in their service and care of the property. We cannot say enough about how wonderful everything was during our stay.

We had a wonderful stay at the Villa Margarita. The home was clean and well appointed. The pool, yard and beach areas were in great condition. There was plenty of room for all of our guests. Yesenia made a delicious breakfast every morning (except Sunday) and kept the home clean. This made the Vrbo experience feel more like a hotel stay than renting a home you had to keep clean on your own. The only issues we had included a safe that was not functioning throughout our stay, a portable speaker we had outside that went missing, and a leaking ac unit in one of the bedrooms.

Amazing, Relaxing, Everything at your fingertips
First of all this is the most well stocked house we've ever stayed at, from wine glasses to cookwear and everything in-between, the house had it.
The staff was phenomenal,
Jessie our daily maid was outstanding and efficient. Don't make the bed because she will just take it apart and make it again.
Uziel the gardener was very helpful and attentive to the grounds, he even helped us retrieve a few coconuts to make drinks with.
Jessie's parents cooked us two meals (sorry forgot their names) that were simple but perfect and more than we could eat.
The property was breathtaking, the beach was beautiful and the location could not be beat. Jungle Fish bar and grille next door made for a couple of simple nights out with some great food and lighthearted fun without the fuss of driving. The house was perfect for relaxing and had plenty of space for anyone that wanted a quiet moment. The rooftop made for some great nights watching the stars.

The house is as it looks in the pictures, and as clean as it gets. It is straight on the back (rocky) with the fresh Caribbean breeze coming in. A 5 minute walk in either direction and you'll find white sandy beach, though in my opinion this is the most beautiful part. It is tranquil and totally private. Jesse will make you breakfast and keep the house tidy each day. The groundkeeper takes excellent care of the outdoors. Both such wonderful people that is a joy to have around. Hope to come back someday!

We stayed at Villa Margarita on Jade Bay for 11 nights (late Jan- early Feb) and very much enjoyed our time there. Peaceful area, many nice outdoor spaces to relax, dine, etc,, well lit at night and felt safe with rhe security guard. Inside, the villa was quite charming with many unique decorations and wall art. Great beachfront location, close to restaurants, staff was excellent, everyone at the management company was very nice and easy to work with. Would definitely consider returning and/or renting another property from them.

After extensive research we chose Villa Margarita for a group of 9 adults celebrating my husband’s 40th birthday and it exceeded our expectations! We absolutely loved the house and it was so clean! Maria at Akumal Properties was amazing to work with. Daily maid service, groundkeeping/pool and security guard ensured all of our needs were met. At the recommendation of Maria, we hired Chef Emilio to cook for us and that was the best decision we made! Incredible!The only downside is that the entrance to the ocean is really rocky and there was a lot of seaweed when we were there in April. Definitely bring water shoes if you want to brave it. Nevertheless, the pool and shaded yard area provided plenty of outdoor entertainment.It is walkable to town, just 10 mins our one minded the stroll, although check on the status of being charged $5 to re-enter the beach area to return home if you plan to explore the village (this was just unfolding, and controversial when we were there.)

I would definitely go back to this property. It was well located walking distance from the main beach and lives up to its description. Much less activity in Akumal, but easy drives to Tulum and Playa del Carmen. The staff, both at the villa and in the management office were very helpful and accommodating. The backyard was perfect for our needs with easy beach access, lots of seating and a lovely pool. The ocean behind the villa was not the best for snorkeling, but just a short walk either direction and there were more sheltered areas. I believe the sea was a little rougher than normal during our visit, but that did not pose a problem at all. the only issue was that the main beach has recently implemented a $5USD fee. Since we were already on the beach, this was only an issue if we wanted to walk into town from the villa, we were asked to pay to get back onto the beach. I understand this to be fairly new and I am sure they will work something out for future guests. In any event, I would highly recommend and likely return.

We had a fantastic family vacation here with 2 grandparents, 2 couples and 3 kids age 3-5. The adults loved the view, clean house. delicious meals from the staff, coconuts fresh from the tree, and wandering the beach. The kids loved the pool (shallow in 1 end), space to run, kick a soccer ball, or play in the sand, all without leaving the premises. The beach is a little tricky as it's really rough "Iron Shore" when you enter the water in front of the house. It was fine for playing in the sand next to the water, but when we wanted to swim or snorkel we would walk 5 minutes south to a sandy entry, or 15 min north to Akumal Bay. Either place had great swimming and snorkeling. We felt very safe and enjoyed how quiet the area was. Any minor issues were addressed immediately, and recommendations from the property manager for spas, masseuse, and food were fantastic. We wouldn't hesitate to rent here again. Overall - Loved it.

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful villa in Akumal. Everything was ideal from the stunning view of the ocean and grounds to the super amenities this villa has to offer. We would definitely recommend this to friends. We kayaked, snorkelled, scuba dived, enjoyed fantastic restaurants within walking distance and squeezed in three massages on the upper balcony between our water sports.

We rented the Villa Margarita over Spring Break. The property was just as the pictures online. Beautiful, clean, very authentic in feel. We loved the pool and it was right on the beach. We had just a family of 4 most of the trip and extended family joined us on the weekend. We had a lot of room and the kitchen is very big. Sleeping rooms have ac so cool for sleeping. Location of the house was a close drive to stores and restaurants. The beach was beautiful, water shoes are a must to get out and snorkel. The house and property were clean and well maintained. Our customer service was top notch, every question was answered promptly (in fact we experienced a tire blowout and they helped get us a replacement!) We would highly recommend Villa Margarita! During the stay, we ate in Tulum at Metao's and down in Akumal the beach. The dinner we enjoyed at the Villa was the highlight! The food was outstanding!!
