Villa Morena rescued our stay on this side of Mexico - it is complete opposite to the massive all-inclusive hotels on the other side of the road. The cabanas are great and very well equipped; breakfast is delicious and healthy. You can hear a lot of birds and other animals around when you relax at the pool. We also loved the dinner, especially the carbonara! Vanessa and the whole family were kind to give us so many tips: where to rent the car, where to park it to access the beach easily, what to do around when the weather was windy and cloudy. If you are looking for a very laid-back atmosphere, appreciate the details and effort made in creating a beautiful and sustainable space, we would recommend Villa Morena 100%. I'd recommend renting a car to move around easily.

The very warm welcome with all the kind persons running the place and everything looks even better than on the pictures. Never had such a clean accommodation with an intact and efficient mosquito net in the middle of the jungle. Wonderful garden, nice colourful details everywhere, the pool is amazing with so many options to sit and explore, the organic soap smells incredibly good, we ate every day there for dinner as the menu and the cocktails were so diverse and just excellent! Best breakfast as well with yoghurt, fresh fruit, you can choose either eggs or avocado toas with tomato....My favorite place was the hammock where I could watch the birds, dogs and cats. Thank you for caring so much and answering all our questions and for making our stay so special. There is nothing they could do any better. Yes, you need a car, but from this remote, quiet place you have all options to visit cenotes, Akumal playa, Coba, Tulum or even Cozumel for a day trip.

Breakfast (included in our rate) was excellent. The hotel is literally in the Yucatan jungle and is well laid out. The villas were arranged around a beautiful pool with privacy for each villa. The rooms were large and well appointed with espresso coffee machines, a large bathroom, jacuzzi tubs (outdoors) and the veranda had its own lounge and shade areas. I also really loved the design of both the rooms and the hotel itself. Simple yet luxurious. The opposite of a stay in the city. Just what we had been hoping for.

You have to drive slowly on the gravel road leading to the hotel. Finding the turnoff the first time requires some care- best to check in when it's light if possible.

Home-made breakfasts were delicious and prepared from fresh ingredients. Location is excellent, quiet and off-the-beaten track. There is also a lovely swimming pool to keep you refreshed. Room and bathroom of a very decent sizes. Well-kept and clean. The staff always remembered to make sure we were not missing any bath cosmetics, organic and very good quality. Towels exchanged every second day which was really nice. The staff were always ready to provide info which places to go to. The owner even took the effort to help to replace our punctured tyre. If you want you can also order dinners a la carte, just order in the morning during breakfast. When we were going on longer trips, the owners equipped us with boxes for our food and also offered to prepare some lunch for the road. I recommend it entirely to have great memories.

Nothing comes to my mind.

The best swimming pool ever, giving you a feeling to swim in a cenote. Our daughter loved the breakfast. Hosts are friendly and take care of every detail. Beautiful place in a charming environment. Cabana nicely decorated and quite big. At night one can immerse in the sounds of nature - a beautiful feeling.

The last kilometer to the hotel of the road is quite bumpy, but in general does not impact our wonderful stay. For this part of Mexico it is difficult to get to the beach, however the place has amazing pool to relax instead.

What an incredible honour to stay in this beautiful hotel - it was more like staying with friends. It was so peaceful, serene, impressive and special. The family made us feel so at home. Nothing was a bother. The food was delicious and we felt immediately at home, to enjoy the space as if it were ours for the duration of our stay. I'd love to return one day and stay for longer.

Nothing. It was perfect

Very relaxing atmosphere in the jungle, cabana beautiful, comfortable beds, good sleep, excellent pool and places to chill. Very tranquil place. Staff exceptional, helpful, friendly. Great place to stay longer time than 3 days like we did, The only problem is getting around. Taxis are expensive and charge from every extra move you make, 500 pesos for 10 min drive to the beach. Would highly recommend car rent ( which I realised too late:)), lots of places to go to in the area- nature parks, adventure parks, cenotes. Breakfast at the property really good. Possible to have dinner, which is homemade, drinks during the day. Felt really cared for and would come back 100 percent!

The room/individual huts are really spacious and well designed/equipped. We had a lovely bed with mosquito net with working sockets on either side and side tables. A fan. A kitchenette with a mini fridge. Water in a very attractive enamelled jug. Pretty bathroom sink, nice design for separating the shower and toilet. The ceilings are high which I think helped with channeling heat up and keeping the room cool. There was a swing in our room! Our patio had a table with chairs and a hammock. The first day there I took an unplanned nap in the hammock for several hours. As an insomniac this just shows how instantly relaxed I was. The grounds are nicely landscaped and regularly maintained. The pool is a real winner in my book. It was designed to have a natural earthy rocky like structure with a mini water fall type thing, swings and different depths. The water is cool and refreshing and clean. There’s nice loungers tastefully presented with banana leaf umbrellas for those who like me aren’t made for full sun. Absolutely loved it. There are a load of facilities for kids which looked cool and also sortof not in main view while being plentiful. I’m not a person who particularly enjoys holidays around kids but I do appreciate a place that can accommodate what looked like an impressive and fun array of kid stuff while also appealing to my grinchy self. A hard line to manage and this place does it. The included breakfast was more generous and filled with options than anywhere else I’ve stayed in the yucatan peninsula. The staff are all very nice and went out of their way to help us a few times. Would absolutely recommend this place And I really loved the tree by our room

This isn’t a property issue as much as my feelings on the area. I had read snorkelling in akumal was the spot for turtles. Ooofffff I do not like that whole set up they have going on there at the beach at all. I wouldnt go back to akumal or recomend it to anyone. However if you want a chill pretty place to relax and enjoy a holiday in a glam glamPing eco spot come here. I would come back to this place just to enjoy the people here, the rooms and awesome pool. They do have bikes to borrow which I had thought about borrowing to cruise to the beach but you have to cross the major road /highway and I felt a little intimidated by that. Not a problem with the place just a problem with my plan and comfort level

The Villa Morena was a wonderful surprise! All the staff and especially Vanessa were amazing! The food was so fresh! Homemade pasta for dinner was really a highlight for me. Make sure if you are interested in street art to go into Akumal and walk around. A couple of good coffee shops there and roasting lunch smelled delicious. Also book a massage that is given right on your private patio!

Nothing could have been better.

We loved everything about this place, the location, the layout. Everything! And they are green and „eco“ friendly in everything they do. The property is absolutely stunning, an ideal place if you need a break from your everyday life! They served the best breakfast we had in Mexico, dinners were great too. Everybody is friendly and helpful. We wish we could have stayed longer.

We loved everything.
