"Another wonderful week spent at Esperanza! Everything was perfect. We really appreciated the well stocked kitchen - we cooked some fabulous meals here this year... Your villa is the nicest spot in Akumal - just what the doctor ordered. Thank you so much for sharing your home. We hope to return again."

"Your home in Akumal is a true gem and we had a spectacular time. We appreciated many touches that put your home a class above most any of the other rentals. The kitchen was well furnished, high quality linens and beds, the cleaning and landscaping services were excellent... and the home itself was just thoughtfully designed. We had a lot of wind during our stay, and while those with high priced ocean front rentals were suffering in their rooms, we were sunning ourselves in our protected backyard with infant happily playing in the pool or napping in the hammock!

"We had a wonderful time in your lovely place. What an excellent location. The whole experience was even better than expected. We cooked some great meals in the beautiful kitchen. I love the layout of the kitchen/family room and would like a similar plan in our next house. We'd love to return again."

"We had a wonderful break from the snowy mountains. This was our second trip to Akumal and we loved being close to the beach and town. Your house was fabulous and we appreciated the chance to call it home for a week."

"Esperanza is absolutely a beautiful villa in a beautiful, tropical setting. As before, we enjoyed all that Esperanza offers, serenity, relaxation, peace, easy access to all of Akumal. I hope it's not another tres anos before our return. Muchas gracias!

"What a treat this Esperanza villa is... Beautiful to the eyes everywhere you look. Relaxing to the body wherever you choose to lounge. Refreshing to the soul to take in the peace of such a place."

"What a wonderful oasis!! The house is perfect and Akumal is a fantastic getaway. We loved the food, nighttime walks to Buena Vida for dinner, snorkeling and exploring Tulum and Coba. Casa Esperanza is such a great house in a perfect location! We will be back!"

"We couldn't have hoped for a better setting for our honeymoon. We had a great time diving, snorkeling with the turtles, happy hour sunsets at La Buena Vida, gecko counting on the patios, and sleeping in to all hours."

"We had an absolutely amazing time in Akumal and at Esperanza! The house is beautiful, the gardens are fantastic, and the pool is a wonderful treat. We had all of the comforts of home.... but much better. Your home is so special and we enjoyed your personal touches."

"Your home is absolutely amazing. So quiet and just walking distance to everything anyone could need. I just want to sit by this blue pool and marvel at the craftsmanship. It is obvious that you designed this home with care. I come to Akumal often and have stayed in many places--this home, by far, is my favorite. I feel very lucky to have found it."

"Your home was a beautiful refuge. We couldn't believe that it was even more spectacular than the photos compelling us to rent here, but it was. My family kept asking to return to the peace of Esperanza and our nights swimming, laughing and playing cards are some of our best memories."

"We had many places to choose from and we could not have picked a better place. Your staff was very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed Akumal because it wasn't as touristy as the other places and the snorkeling was amazing! The cenotes were also amazing. We will definitely be coming back and telling others about this place and house! Thank you!"

"Esperanza has exceeded all the highest expectations!! The beauty, location, privacy and your exquisite taste and talent has made this a special home away from home. I really enjoyed the nightly star show. I hope future guests will turn off all the lights and view the brilliant constellations by the pool...Esperanza is certainly unique and magical!"

"You must have enjoyed creating your charming home so very much. Every detail from the colorful Mexican tiles, to the artwork and then the woodwork are all a delight to see. The exterior of your home is equally, if not more beautiful. Its sophisticated elegance speaks for itself. I look forward to coming back here to Esperanza. Thank you so much for opening up your piece of heaven for myself and my family."

"Our vacation to Akumal was way beyond what we imagined......Your villa was wonderful. [W]e have rented many houses in the past 15 years at different places in the world. Your place was the most beautiful and the best for its price. It was incredibly clean and comfortable, located in an ideal spot, so close to the beach and the village but so private at the same time. We truly felt at home. Your wonderful home......is truly a little piece of paradise!"

What a great location for......walks on the beach, visiting ruins in Tulum and Coba, shopping in Playa, snorkeling in the lagoon, seeing the show at Xcaret and swimming with the dolphins.

"Akumal, Mexico is wonderful! The atmosphere here is very cozy and welcoming. Esperanza is conveniently located and has made our stay here even better. Esperanza is perfect in every way..... meeting my every need. I enjoyed all the activities we did, whether it be snorkeling, lounging by Esperanza's pool, sight-seeing at the Mayan ruins or sun-bathing by the ocean. My stay here will be unforgettable and has created many memories. I hope to come back to Esperanza in the near future!!"

"The quiet, sleepy village of Akumal is a wonderful place to relax, enjoy the sun, ocean -- Peace! Esperanza is so homey. I found myself comfortable just being here -- no need to be elsewhere. Great day trips included Valladolid (an inland city) where shopping is plentiful. Found a fabulous leather shoe store where they were actually making the shoes in the back room. Had dinner at a wonderful restaurant. Oh, and the ruins -- right outside Valladolid is an exquisite, well-kept secret -- Ek Balam -- few tourists and beautiful Mayan architecture. Tulum was also great. I'll definitely return for a relaxing vacation soon and for a longer time!"

"We have spent a week in Casa Esperanza and Akumal that by far have fulfilled our expectations! You have created a wonderful and exotic place and we love it! Akumal was the place I had hoped it to be with small boutiques, restaurants, etc. and a fantastic beach. It's a dream to be swimming with turtles when you have your morning swim. Thank you very much."

"Muchas Gracias for the wonderful week of paradise! Villa Esperanza is by far the most beautiful place we've ever stayed! The decor, the pool, the kitchen, the bedrooms & the grounds made us feel like we were vacationing in Eden. We will definitely be back again."
