Aquatech Villas DeRosa Resort

We had a one bedroom on the 2nd floor and the view and breeze was incredible! The covered porch was perfect for relaxing in the morning, and having a private beach area with palapas and lounge chairs was a huge bonus. We also found the owner, his wife and all the staff to be so friendly and helpful. Having a large jug of bottled water in the kitchen made me very happy. Our apartment and the entire complex was well tended and very clean. And having daily housekeeping was completely unexpected. Our bed was very comfortable and quiet for sleeping. The location is great as a jumping off point for visiting nearby Cenotes, Tulum, Akumal and many other attractions. We prefer smaller vacation spots to huge resorts and this one was just perfect. We loved having a bar/restaurant right next door. No need to dress up or even put on shoes. We were beyond satisfied at Villas DeRosa.

The dirt road that lead to the property is tricky, deep potholes everywhere. It felt like we were off-roading, but you just need to take it slow. And the seating in the living room is not that comfortable for our 60+ year old bodies, but we doubled up the cushions and made due. Most of the time, we were on the terrace anyway.

I like that it’s beachfront.

There’s only one option to buy food whose owner is very rude and a racist. I couldn’t swim in the water because of the sargassum.

Excellent value for the location. Beautiful beachfront and super relaxing. Unlimited filtered water in the room. Room was spacious. Good room amenities.

While the beachfront restaurant on the premises was good, I wish there was a minimarket and alternative restaurant nearby.

I liked the staff, friendliness and the beach access

The restaurant was closed and this was not communicated to us. This meant our only option was to eat all our meals at the next door bar or walk a kilometre then take a bus to the nearest town. Also, the sargasso grass was a good four meters thick so it was a beach resort with very icky sea access. It is a very quiet hotel that was very reasonably priced and we were able to walk to catch the bus, but it should be made clear that there are no shops or other restaurants within walking distance. I really hope they can reopen the restaurant and give this quaint hotel back its former glory. Tony was a very kind host. The other concern is that to grab a collective bus you have to cross a busy highway and it’s scary.
