Villa Tortugas Residence

We stayed at Villa Tortugas for one delightful, relaxing month in Nov/Dec. 2009. Silvia and Denis are gracious, generous hosts. Group dinners they organize al fresco by their new bbq are not to be missed. Our room was bright, pleasant, clean, cool and comfortable. We used our kitchen area many times a day making our own meals and snacks plus coffee whemever we wanted some. Denis has created lovely gardens on their large lot. There are plenty of trees and many new birds for us to see and hear. The pool is refreshing after a hot day of... more

My husband and I spent a lovely quiet week at Villa Tortugas. Our little casita had a bed, a small kitchen, and a bathroom, and we also enjoyed the two Muskoka/Adirondack-style chairs on the front porch. Our room was cleaned every day and towels were replaced every two days. We really appreciated coming home every day to a tidy place! We rented a car and were really glad we did - it let us do our own thing, come and go as we pleased, and explore the area a little bit. If you're happy to make your own breakfast and dinner at Villa... more

We have just returned from a fabulous 5 days spent at Villa Tortugas. It really is a litttle slice of luxury and peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of the beach. We arrived by taxi from Tulum after spending some time touring the Yucatan, and were delighted when we pulled into the tranquil oasis of the gardens in the jungle. The Italian owners, Denis and Sylvia are lovely people who look after your every need, they even take you to Akumal beach every day and pick you up again! They can also arrange excursions if you want... more
