I chose this villa for my bachelorette party of 8 girls because it looked like the perfect fit for all of us and it exceeded my expectations!! The house was big, comfortable, has a beautiful view and it was just overall stunning. I would definitely recommend Lesly the house chef and her husband Alfredo for cleaning, they live just outside of the villa and come and go to check on us and make sure we have everything we need at all times. This is also a gated community which has security and they always check who’s coming and going, which is great for safety and comfort reasons. I have recommended this to all my family and friends as soon as i got back home and i will definitely be back here!! thank you for our wonderful stay 🙂

Seven of us enjoyed 5 days and 4 nights in this magnificent home with an awesome view of the ocean. The view from the pool can’t be beat. We used the tour group recommended by Rose and they were excellent. They picked us up and returned us to the villa after each exceptional excursion. Lesley and her husband simply could not have been better, making our stay most enjoyable.
The only reason I didn’t give a 5 star is because of the beach which is terribly littered with plastic trash. We went out each day and picked up bags of trash so that we didn’t have to look at it when we went down on the beach.

Villa Arghy was the perfect spot for our family vacation over Spring Break. My husband, myself and our 6 kids (9-19 years old) loved the setting. We spent lots of time around the pool and enjoyed the view from the many decks. It was an ideal location to lots of cenotes (we enjoyed Casa Cenote and even saw a crocodile there!), Xe-Hal and Tulum. The house was beautifully kept by Leslie and Alfredo and they were super helpful. We looked forward to the daily pico de gallo and guacomole. The house was spacious and had plenty of room. We felt super safe there and liked the private neighborhood. We’d definitely stay again! Thank you for an unforgettable vacation.

My husband and I absolutely loved Villa Arghy. The photos do not do it justice. Our trip was absolutely magical and we couldn’t have asked for a better location to spend it. The house staff, Leslie and Alfredo, were really sweet and helpful. We got to see hundreds of baby turtles hatch right there in front of the villa. I will recommend this place to everyone I know.

4 couples and myself had the pleasure of staying at Villa Arghy for a week in January of 2016. The house is in excellent shape and had more than enough room to accommodate our group. The beach in the back is groomed nicely and there are plenty of lounge chairs by the pool. One of out favorite parts of the stay was Leslie’s cooking. She prepared breakfast and dinner for us a few times and it was simply amazing. It is very cheap and you do not have to lift a finger. Some of her authentic meals took hours to prepare. We all hope to stay there again in the

It’s no wonder this house keeps getting 5 star reviews. The house itself is wonderfully maintained with excellent finishes throughout the house. It will easily accommodate a group of eight (we were six) with plenty of room on all levels. The beach setting is lovely and with the pool edging right up to the beach. The caretakers Lesly and Alfredo are just wonderful people and there to help in any way. Lesly is there every morning to clean the house and which is immaculate. Alfredo is up at the crack of dawn every morning to clean the beach and pool area. We felt very safe and comfortable having them on the property. I cannot recommend this spot highly enough as it is on a beach away from all the traffic on the Tulum beach strip. There is a cenote to take swim within walking distance and the Tulum ruins are just 15 minutes away. We have been renting ocean front houses for many years and this one is fabuloso!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! All accommodations that you need! Alfredo & Leslie are very attentive to your needs. Leslie cooked up swordfish, rainbow and mahi mahi along w/ veggies, rice and garlic toast that was from our fishing trip. She knows how to cook the fish well. We rented bikes in Tulum and rode twenty some miles & came home to dinner that was ready w/in 5 minutes of returning, table was set & food served, Nothing Better!! We don’t have any complaints just raves about our experience at Villa Arghy.

Villa Arghy is one of a kind… A truly magical place. The house is very clean with wonderful amenities. The staff was kind and very helpful and Lesley is a great cook! If your looking for a relaxing, gorgeous getaway that’s stress-free, look no further than Villa Arghy!

Having travelled through the Yucatan for 10 days we were looking forward to some rest and relaxation for the last week of our holiday. Villa Arghy turned out to be just the ticket. The first impression is incredible. As you walk through the front door you are immediately confronted with the large expanse of glass at the rear if the property which gives the most gorgeous view of there beach and sea behind. This is repeated upstairs as well where they have designed a similarly large expanse of glass overlooking the sea. Thereafter we learnt about the quality of the rest of the property. Lots of space, nice furnishings, a well equipped Kitchen, wifi and TV and DVD players if you can tear your eyes away form the view (we couldn’t!). Outside is a decent pool and again a lot of space for relaxing. The beach itself of course brings the beauty of night-time visitors in the shape of the beautiful turtles (and we even had an unexpected mass hatching of baby turtles right behind the villa one afternoon! The open roof-space gives further options for relaxation and start gazing. In fact, given the various patios and balconies and rooftop space you have loads of options if you want a change of scene or catch the sun at a different time of day. Lesly and Alfredo and the perfect hosts, being totally discreet but always there in the most cheerful fashion if needed for anything. And Lesly’s salsa and guacamole was the best we had during our whole trip. The location is excellent, whether for exploring the immediate area around Tulum or travelling further afield or inland to visit the numerous attractions in the region. It is very hard to improve this place so can only find small things that could make a difference. Maybe a nice wifi dock in the main living area to compile,meant those in the bedrooms, possibly more shaw on the patio and some instructions for the telescope would be handy! However, the relative triviality of these show what a fantastic place this is, a well designed and well-run place to give a very special trip indeed.

In Villa Arghy you will find an amazing place to relax, enjoy nature, eat and have fun. The persons that take care of the house are such a lovely persons, and Lesly can cook delicious mexican food for you. Also my family and i were absolutely amazed with the turtle nests that you will find all over the beach, you can also see little turtles getting out of the nest and found giant turtles swapping. It´s a quiet place, surrounded by nature, so you can relax or have fun in the pool, the beach, or even in a sink hole that is at 5 minutes of the Villa. So i totally recommend you to stay here.

The pics lie! It all Looks MUCH better. The first time, we are not disappointed after booking. We came from Germany only for a week and it was worth every Minute of the Long trip. We rented a car and did go to the “must sees”: Chichen-Itza (about 2 hrs car drive away), Tulum ruins (10 minutes), and Coba (45 mins). Plus kanooing in a Cenote (5 min. away) and enjoying beach life at Beach Paraiso. Margueritas at local bars and home-made Food from Lesley, the unobstrusive caretaker, was so much better than can be described in a Review. We will definitely want to come back.

Villa Arghy is incredible. The views, the home, the food, the staff; all were wonderful. The home is kept very clean inside and out. Alfredo rakes the beach daily. We had 4 adults and 6 kids who all had a wonderful time. There is plenty of room and many quiet places to read, nap, or just take in the beauty. We will definitely return to Villa Arghy.

We came down to celebrate my father’s 80th birthday and had a blast!! I highly recommend having Lesly cook for you, her food was fabulous, and she made the best flan I have every had! We had 11 people and there was plenty of room for everyone to be together or have time apart as needed. The location is also very near many of the trips and explorations we took during our stay. It was also nice to have the Casa Cenote nearby to explore. This is a great place to relax and enjoy the area.

The villa is wonderful and we had a great time. Serviced everyday by the unobtrusive Alfredo and Lesly. The pool overlooking the beach is great. We had a very relaxing time.

Villa Arghy looked beautiful in the photos we had seen online and the reviews were all great too but our own personal experience far exceeded any expectations we had before arriving. When we arrived we were greeted by Lesley and Alfredo who helped to make our vacation unforgettable. We have been vacationing on the beaches of North Carolina for the past 20 years but came to Mexico after our son got married in Merida. Now the only place my family wants to go to is to the Villa Arghy. It has everything you need to feel like you are at home, actually, it has many more conveniences than home. Please have Lesley cook for you. Her food was the best in the Yucatan! Alfredo even took our son spear fishing at night, which was an experience he won’t forget. We also had the rare privilege to witness a mother turtle make a nest and lay her eggs and then we saw several nests hatch and observed a “turtle boil”! This trip provided our family and friends with a lifetime of memories and for that we will always be grateful. We are already planning our next visit to the Villa Arghy!
