Casa Gatos

At Casa Gatos we offer an “at home” environment in an intimate setting where our guests can relax after their day’s activities. Our spacious apartments, comfortably furnished and accented with an eclectic selection of art and antiques, have all the amenities required for a fulfilling vacation, while our amiable and unobtrusive hospitality make for a pleasing, laid back experience. Casa Gatos is in the quaint residential neighborhood between Half Moon Bay and Yalku Lagoon, where neighbors greet each other while walking their dogs or wave to passing tourists out for their morning jog. A small natural park across the gravel drive from our gated entrance provides a buffer from the hustle and bustle of the beaches and the traffic of the main beach road. We are conveniently located a few hundred meters from the entrance to the lagoon and beach, with Que Onda restaurant next door and several of the other restaurants and convenience stores within an easy stroll or bike ride. More restaurants and stores are clustered between the entrance to Akumal and Akumal Bay a mile down the beach road.
