It is your home away from home. It means exclusive! Villa Aqua is the ultimate of all Mexican Caribbean vacation rental options and experiences.
This means only you and your guests reside together at a stunning property benefiting from full access to all the features, amenities and services Villa Aqua has to offer.
You don't need to worry about knowing who will be with you on your vacation. You will be pampered and served to your needs.
Everyone from families seeking adventure to friends and couples searching for that relaxing hideaway to newlyweds looking for romance, will find this Mexican vacation rental to stage their unforgettable experience.

The short answer is: YES! Although certain parts of the country have seen a rise in drug-related violence in the last few years and the gruesome news reports have done little to help the country's image in the minds of tourists, the fact is that most parts of Mexico are still safe to travel to and the Riviera Maya is known to be Mexico's Softer Side.
As with any foreign country you go to, it is important to be informed and to take appropriate safety precautions. By making informed decisions, taking simple precautions, and exercising common sense, travelers can continue to take advantage of all that Mexico has to offer. As one of the features of our numerous guest amenities we have supplied personal safes in each guestroom so please use them to keep your valuable belongings.
With its breathtaking beaches, historical landmarks, and rich culture, it's no wonder that so many people have an interest in visiting Mexico. The country's beauty and diversity of attractions has made it a consistent draw for resort-goers, outdoor-adventurers, and culture-seekers alike, and has helped cement it as one of the top international tourist destinations.
Mexico deserves its place on vacationer wish lists, and despite some troubled areas (mainly in the border with the U.S.), travelers need not avoid the country as a whole.

Visitors who brave the steep climb up the highest pyramid in Mexico's Mayan world reap the reward of a breathtaking view. At more than 130 feet in height, Nohuch Mul, which means "large mound" in the Mayan language, is the tallest pyramid at Coba archaeological site and in the Yucatán Peninsula. Coba, an easy 45min. drive from Playa del Carmen, is well worth a visit.

As soon as your reservation is confirmed, you will be contacted by the Villa Concierge who will help you with all your vacation planning, including your meals! It is very important that you let your concierge know about any allergies and / or dietary restrictions / preferences in your group with time so that the chef can take proper precautions.
We provide a Grocery Shopping List and a Sample Menu just as a guideline but take in mind that our chef is always open to special requests.

We keep an inventory of wine and liquors, and you will be charged any bottles that you open. There is very little markup but if you prefer you can also replace them for new bottles. Bar Menu is available upon request. We can also pre-stock your favorite spirits (if available in the market) before your arrival.
For your convenience, we have our Honor Bar, these are all opened bottles left by past guests. Maybe it is just you in the mood for drinking one tequila shot, If so; then you are more than welcome to grab it from the honor bar.
We encourage all our guests to keep this tradition by not emptying the entire honor bar and leaving your opened bottled for the next guests.

This may occur randomly. As usually our chef and kitchen assistant are very busy with all the meal preparation, this includes shopping, food preparation, table setting, serving and cleaning, they cannot attend all your beverage requests so if you need this service please contact your concierge for Bartender service and pricing options.

This is possible just when you do not take lunch at the villa. If that is the case, the chef will use that time frame to prepare your dinner, otherwise you can request Dinner Chef Service (extra fees apply depending the number in your group) or choose any of our Epic Dinner Experiences which include delicious menus and entertainment.

We always try to fulfill your needs. If you are early risers or have an early excursion, the chef can adjust the service schedule and move it a couple of hours. We need at least 24 hours notice and it is subject to consideration.
