From the moment we arrived and I walked up the beautiful walkway towards the house, I was amazed, and then when we arrived at the amazing pool which leads to the front door, I knew we had selected the right house for our vacation! I did a lot of research before choosing Casa Luna, and all of the positive comments I read about the house were definitely true! It's a beautiful spot in a cute little town. We took our three adult daughters and their significant others, making for a total of 8 people. We had plenty of room with the casita out back and never felt like we were bumping into each other. The upper decks look out over the beautiful ocean, and we used the pool every day. We were surrounded by many other beautiful homes. Our housekeeper Rosa was so nice and she fixed us an amazing dinner the night before we left. The caretaker, Joaquin climbed up one of the coconut trees and picked some coconuts for us so we could drink the coconut milk. What a nice guy!
The house is a short walk to town for restocking of beer, wine and tequila. We did our major shopping in Cancun at Costco and Mega Super.
The house has a nice bbq on the back porch which we used almost every night. There's nothing like bbqing with a fresh margarita in your hand and the ocean breeze at your back!
We went snorkeling at Yal Ku Lagoon. The snorkeling was amazing, but it was incredibly crowded when we went in the mid afternoon. (It was also Spring Break) It would be much better in the morning before the crowds come. It's a short walk from the house which makes it convenient.
We also went on a cenote tour at Cenote Santa Cruz. One of the lesser commercialized cenotes, we had a great tour. In addition, it's probably the closest one to Casa Luna. If you've never been to a cenote, it's a must. You won't be disappointed!
The turtles are plentiful along Akumal Bay, but you can't wear your fins there, only your mask and snorkel. We didn't see any turtles out in Half Moon Bay behind the house. It's a little hard to get into the water from the house and if it's windy (which it was), the water's choppy and not great for snorkeling.
We rented a car in Cancun from Fox Car Rental and they were very easy to work with and it was nice to have a car when we wanted to take a short excursion.
My only disappointment was there wasn't a sandy beach out in back of the house. Other than that, you won't be disappointed if you stay at Casa Luna. I wish I was still there!
