THE BEACH
 

Casa Tortuga is primely situated just a short leisurely walk past some Mayan ruins, to the warm glistening waters of the Caribbean Sea (250m from the driveway thru the jungle of Playacar Fase 1) to the closest Playacar beach.  This is often the quietest beach due to accessibility of Playacar residents only and no place for anyone else to park!  This beach access, right opposite the driveway is also only one of two access paths from fase 2 to fase 1 of Playacar. Location, Location, Location!  You can not get much closer to 'town' yet be in the jungle of Playacar. 

​

There are no public amenities on this beach but the Villa provides backpack style beach chairs/umbrella/beach toys/coolers and beach towels you can take with you easily for a day in the sun.  You can walk for km's in either direction. 

​

Alternatively there are other beach options closeby along the Mayan Riviera to choose from. Most accessible if you rent a private vehicle, there are taxis and local collectivos available or Gecko Caribbean, our Property Management team can also facilitate and assist with any transportation or excursion details.  Maps and an informative Information binder are in the Villa..

THE GOOD LIFE
 
Having owned this 'Lil piece of Paradise' since 2004, the Villa has been well kept and updated over the years and we understand what a vacationer wants and do our best to provide what is necessary.  There is a very informative binder of information that will likely answer most of your questions upon arrival, or that info can be sent to you ahead of time after reservations are booked.
 
The locally owned property management team is always available onsite or by phone.
 
Most guests come to the Riviera Maya for the beautiful beaches and to take advantage of the endless summer climate....  The warm turquoise waters and soft (cool - it doesnt get hot!) white sugary sand are incomparable. 
​
However, if adventure is what you desire, there are many exhilarating tours/places to go for the day in close proximity, to suit all personalities such as:  Golf, Ziplining, Eco nature parks (Xplor, Xcaret, XelHa, Xenses, Xoximilco), Mayan ruins (Chichen Itza, Coba, Tulum), scuba diving, paddle board, and a must do visit to the fresh water Cenotes for some cliff jumping and explore the underground river system.  The options for fun and memorable experiences abound.....  
 
A 6km palm lined path around Playacar's golf course is right outside the front door - for biking, running or walking with the XamanHa Aviary just to the south of Villas del Mayab and a small shopping plaza a bit further opposite the large hotels, for a mid way refreshment!
​
Or ... because Casa Tortuga backs onto an immaculate Championship Golf Course (Hard Rock Playacar), guests can savour a tranquil afternoon siesta under one of the covered patios or by the pool.  Fantastic rattan furniture, outdoor ceiling fans and a gas grill provide all that is required to host friends or sip on a glass of wine or Margarita al fresco any time of day!

Casa Tortuga is located within the private gated community of Playacar in Villas del Mayab, overlooking the 3rd T-box of the Hard Rock Golf Course in the Mayan Riviera.
