Very nice uncrowded beach. Outstanding beach bar and grill right next door. Fabulous room arrangement: roomy balcony facing the sea > roomy living room > spacious raised dining/kitchen > bathroom and bedroom. Good AC in bedroom, with good through draft elsewhere. Fully equipped kitchen with large drinking-water dispenser. Tap water chlorinated for some safety but not tasty. Just a very comfortable condo unit. Great view east over the beach and ocean. We watched sunrise from our balcony every day. Full bathroom with counter space and shower. Shower temperature a bit difficult to adjust, but doable. Full bathroom with counter space and shower. Shower temperature a bit difficult to adjust, but doable.

As elsewhere in Yucatan, you were asked not to put used toilet paper in toilet, but in covered trash container next to it. We have encountered this in other parts of the world and got used to it. But toilet had easy to use bidet feature for rinsing. Dirt road to this and other neighbouring resorts was very rough. Drive slowly and choose the smoothest side of the road.

Great laid back vibe, beach, room, balcony, location, service, bar next door - all wonderful. Drinking water provided in room, can make your own ice, beach towels provided. Food was excellent, from our 8-day Mexico vacation, my daughter rated their guacamole as #1. My daughter loved the beginner scuba diving experience - she wishes she had done it on our first day so she could have returned for more dives!!

Our door lock was a bit hard to operate The access road is in need of repair but it added to the ambiance

An out of this world experience. We stayed here in mid July. Sea Turtles were coming to the beach EVERY NIGHT to lay their eggs. Lots of volunteer guides on the beach made sure, that the turtles were not distracted. The apartment was very spacious with full kitchen facilities. The place is well used but everything works perfectly - and my god what a charming place it is. We enjoyed the private beach with sunbeds during the day and could sit on our balcony in the evenings eating out dinner, having a drink and watch the sea turtles coming up from the water to the beach. We stayed 4 people in the apartment. 2 very spacious bedrooms with separate bathrooms. In addition a fully equipped kitchen with a huge fridge, stove, microwave, coffee making facilities, toaster etc. A big dinner table inside and a lounge area with television + the balcony. The landlord (Tony) was extremely friendly and helpful with all our questions. It shine through in everything he says and does, that he really loves the place and will go an extra mile to make sure, that you get an unforgettable holiday.

Absolutely stunning beach!! The owner & staff were very kind and helpful. Everyone we met in Akumal were nice & laid back, exactly what I was hoping for in introducing my kids to Mexico. We had three king beds & three bathrooms which was so nice. The AC in the bedrooms is great however there is not AC in the kitchen/living-room. It was too warm to comfortably hangout and watch tv at night but what offsets that is a huge balcony! From the balcony, you can see baby turtles making their way to the ocean, a beautiful view of the turquoise water too. The drive from 307 to the beach feels like the jungle, we enjoyed that part of the experience & were glad we’d rented a Jeep. The restaurant & bar next door is great. Good drinks, food & friendly bilingual bartenders. Overall a wonderful experience, we’ll be back!

Lack of AC in living room.

The view from the second floor was lovely. The veranda extended the entire length of the unit and there were lots of places to sit and enjoy the view! Also, we were within a 10 minute walk to an excellent restaurant at Bahia Principe, without the crowds. The inroom food service was a nice added touch. Lots of room in our unit.

The bedroom was rather dark, although it was well lit in the kitchen and the dining room and siting room. The bathroom (as in all bath rooms in Akumal due to limited sewer services) smelled slightly but that would be the same anywhere in this area.

The setting is stunning. We loved our room that was ground level and we could walk straight out to the beach. It felt like our very own beach since it was so quiet. The room was spacious and the bedrooms had great aircon. Location was as we expected basically in the middle of Tulum and Playa del Carmen. We went after the spring break so it was very quiet. We hired a car and found it easy to navigate around.

Nothing we can really complain about - we did hear the next door dogs bark a wee bit but we had an amazing stay and wished we could stay longer

Fantastic location for a quiet and relaxing getaway! I was on a solo R&R break and just needed a comfortable and safe place to rest and enjoy the view. I was not disappointed... the view from my ocean/beach view condo was spectacular - simply stunning sunrises and ocean for miles. The condo was roomy, super clean and comfortable and equipped with purified water in the kitchen, and plenty of supplies (ie: blender, good fridge/freezer for making ice etc). The beach and water can be iffy in the area (sea weeds/grasses) however Villas De Rosa is in the perfect spot that is gorgeous - water was clear and the beach clean with soft white sand. The owner (Tony) was fantastic. Very helpful and basically "at your service". Tony can arrange anything/look after whatever you need - I had massage service and he arranged for Noberto to come to the condo. Noberto did one of the best most relaxing and therapeutic massages I have ever had at a really reasonable rate - he was professional, well trained and friendly. Food was also great. I didn't venture out at all, but enjoyed the menu on site - highlights was the ceviche, tostadas, tortilla soup, guac and salsa. All reasonably priced and delicious! There is a beach bar next door for drinks and snacks too. Overall I felt really safe as a solo female traveller, and had a super relaxing visit - just what the doctor ordered. I will definitely be back! Thank you Tony and your crew!

My only complaint (that has nothing to do with the place at all) is the Taxi fare from the airport and to nearby places such as Akumal town or Tulum is quite expensive. It's worth renting a car if you want to venture out a bit.

Beautiful location and spectacular view from the room. Spacious room. Quiet, small hotel for those looking to avoid the gaudy resort complexes.Tasty breakfast. Friendly, helpful staff. As other reviews have mentioned, the hotel is a bit dated, but we didn't mind so long as it was clean.

Some of the photos could be updated -- the rooftop bar is not operational (no alcohol served on the premises) and the beach bar pictured is a separate business (but just next door). Not targeted towards the hotel nor its owners but just a warning for newcomers to the area: everything is much more expensive when compared to Mexico City or Oaxaca. Many places only take cash and the only ATMs nearby exclusively distribute American dollars with ridiculous commission charges (12% was the lowest I could find). So while Aquatech is reasonably priced, other costs will quickly add up.

Aquatech Villas DeRosa was perfect for us, peaceful, lovely and on the affordable side. We were traveling by rental car which is the ideal way to stay here. The location is south of Akumal Bay and Pueblo. Getting into town was a 10-minute drive. There is a Collectivo stop close to the highway 307 where the turn-off to this hotel is but it's about 1/3mile walk from the hotel to the main road. From here we did day trips to Coba ruins, cenotes (several of which are very close, within a 15 minute drive) and Akumal Bay. The snorkeling off the beachfront is really good, lots of fish and coral. We didn't see turtles there but it wasn't high season. We did see turtles in Akumal Bay by taking a snorkel tour through Akumal Bay Dive Center which we highly recommend. The beach was decent for swimming but there is also a pool on the premises which we didnt use but many guests with families did. We enjoyed moonlit evenings oceanfront on the roof deck and sunrises there in the mornings. Our room was in the rear with a pool & jungle view. Room was very clean, air conditioning functioned perfectly, water pressure was great, hot water was plentiful. Also sat on our own balcony a bit and rather enjoyed the option as well. You could order food and drinks from their in-house restaurant but never used the service so I can't comment on it. We did visit the beach bar next door (it's a seperate business) one night for drinks and snacks which was good. We had ceviche, mixed drinks and decent beers. It is the only restaurant in this section of the shoreline and the location couldn't be more convenient to the Villas. Tony was very helpful with recommendations and to answer any questions. He greeted us on arrival to check us in and show us around. We had a terrific stay!

There were little quirks in our room- the balcony door was a bit hard to open but you kind just had to pull hard, the safe lock required a little jiggering, the overhead lighting was a little harsh. None of this was a real problem. I think you get from the reviews here that the property isn't brand new. It ticked all the boxes on what we find important - the accomodation was clean, comfortable, fully-functioning & secure. All in all, it was a great value and we don't have any complaints.

The beach was excellent, with soft, even sand. No rocky areas. Easy access to snorkel the reef right outside our condo. The atmosphere was very laid back. Our host provided a number where we could text any questions or requests and was super prompt in helping us get everything we needed. They helped us book a private tour. Exceptional service.

Only one restaurant within walking distance. Would have liked a little more variety.
