Casa Colibri - Our House on the Caribbean Sea

We live in the small community of Akumal, about 80 miles directly south of the Cancun Airport, in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico.  Our house, Casa Colibri (Hummingbird), is in the 25 house gated community of South Akumal (Akumal Sur), and this residential community is on a stretch of beautiful sandy beach lined with palm trees.

Casa Colibri is located on a secluded Caribbean bay with a gorgeous white sand beach and aquamarine ocean on the now famous Riviera Maya. The water is always calm and perfect for swimming, because it's protected by a double barrier reef just 100 yards off shore. You'll love exploring the bay with a snorkel and mask, as there are spectacular coral formations and a huge variety of colorful fish.  This house is really something special for the family who wants a lot of tranquility; there are only 24 villas located on the bay, but Akumal is just two minutes away for restaurants, dive shops, and shopping.  A perfect location!

There are many things to see and do within a short distance, so you'll never be bored.  You can visit Mayan ruins, take a boat over to Cozumel for the day, shop on 5th Avenue in Playa del Carmen, go to the disco at Bahia Principe, spend the day at the famous Xcaret eco park, snorkel in Yal-ku lagoon or at Xel-ha, visit the beautiful dry caves of Aktun Chen, snorkel or scuba dive in freshwater cenotes, play golf or tennis in Puerto Aventuras and Playacar, charter a deep sea fishing boat, or enjoy bone fishing, etc, etc, etc. 

There are numerous Maya sites nearby for day trips.  Tulum, the only Maya city on the Caribbean Sea, is 15 miles away, while Coba is another 30 minutes beyond that.  The most famous site of all, Chichen Itza, is only a 2 hour drive away, and there are numerous others within that 2 hour range.
