Villas De Rosa Beach Resort

We loved it!! On the beach, large balcony great view!! Loved the roof top restaurant and loved the bar and grill next door!! Really loved family owned! Easy to catch collectivo where ever we wanted to go!

If you want a pretentious, conceited, showy, crowded “luxury” resort this is NOT the place for you. If you want a down to earth, clean, comfortable place to stay on a beautiful beach this is the place! Wonderful, friendly staff and owners on site. We stayed one bedroom condo. Beach absolutely stunning, not crowded. We had great days of playing in the water. Akumal area is a mix of sand and reef rocks. The beach is soft sand but reef rock in the water; water shoes a great idea! They rake and clean beach daily. Condo very clean, nicely furnished with most amenities; check website for list. Bed comfy, pillows could use upgrading, lumpy. Sheets cotton, I am used to higher grade, took a night to adjust. Bedroom nicely air conditioned. Offshore breeze perfect during day, open patio door & crack condo door with door stop to get best breeze. Privacy not an issue even with door propped open. We stayed second floor, first floor patio opens direct to beach, less private. Food great! They offer all meals, snacks etc; order at desk, by intercom pool area, or from roof top bar (open 2 pm to 9 pm). Served room, pool, beachside, bar area. Pool small, kept clean; did not use as great beach right there! We set up dives with onsite dive shop, very small equipment only no retail; gear decent. Divemaster Alessandra excellent. You will want a car; driving not an issue & is easy, but get the insurance! Will we stay here again – absolutely!

Very nice beachfront hotel with a friendly and accommodating staff. Nice rooftop bar and fair prices for food and drinks for a hotel.

Nice little hotel right on the beach.

Beach was beautiful. Rooms were nice and big. Staff were helpful

The location of this property is amazing. The beach is like the “land tourism forgot” so peaceful and like Cancun 30 years ago. We love this beach. The property is comfortable and well maintained - certainly my favourite kind of place but if people are looking for 5 star this is not it.

Nice and quiet and beautiful view Would go back in a minute. Food was really good.

This was such a great place to stay. Very quiet and peaceful. We would stay there again. ALL of the staff was WONDERFUL. They were so helpful and friendly.

Villas De Rosa, famous among the cave diving crowd for decades, still offers respite from a “hard” day of diving, zip lining or other vacation activities. Nothing fancy, yet, everything you need to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. While they don’t have a restaurant per se, they do have an excellent kitchen which will serve your menu selections poolside, in the rooftop bar or even in your room. Staff is super friendly and always helpful. Gringos (myself included) will find English widely spoken. Go, enjoy!

Loved that VDR is outside town, away from the crowds. Beach and palapa area were never crowded. Main floor unit (1 bdrm) was great with plenty of space. Full bath, full kitchen, large dining area and living room. Bedroom is to the rear of the unit and the only room with air conditioning. Close the bedroom door and turn on air for a comfy cool night of sleeping. As others have noted, the sliding doors have no drapes or coverings for privacy. We didn't find this a problem as the beach was empty at night, bedroom and bathroom are at the rear of the unit, so the only room in which it might be a concern is the living room. Bed was quite comfy and everything in the unit that we tried to use worked just fine. TV could use updating but really, who is watching TV with a beach 5 feet away? Roof Top bar was a joy with only a few visitors even when busy and a wonderful view. Carlos runs the bar and kitchen and does a great job. Every meal we had there was very good. We enjoyed learning about local fruits and foods from him. He was also the most friendly and welcoming person we met on our trip. He even let us pick music for the bar stereo and put together a wonderful 4 course meal for us on the beach for our anniversary! Noel (the Manager) helped us every day. Literally, every day we had questions and he was always willing to help us as best he could with a smile on his face. 2 minor issues we had (safe, light bulb) were resolved immediately. Wonderful! Tony the Owner was great as well
