Located on a white sand beach that stretches on and on, Villa Leona (House of the Lioness) is full of personality.
Owners have stylishly decorated the property with a safari theme, using furnishings and art from their travels around the world. Leopard and zebra print rugs, bar stools with leapard pattern upholstery and photographs taken on an African safari adorn the villa.
Sliding glass doors lead to a shaded patio area facing the private backyard and beach area. An attractive cactus garden is located near the patio. A short stroll through the palm studded backyard takes you to the glorious beach area where a palapa provides shade and has two hammocks for afternoon siestas.

A ladder from the living area leads to the large second level loft where there is a king bed as well as a queen futon in upper living area. A walkway leads to an outdoor patio area facing the ocean on this level.
The house has been designed so that there is good air flow and the palapa style roof with ceiling fans keeps the villa cool, so the is no need for air conditioning.

This is a fun, fun vacation rental property. Relax and never leave the property. Or, just down the road in Tankah Bay is the Manatee Cenote where you can snorkel (maybe you'll see one of those elusive creatives if you're lucky!). Tulum is about 10 miles south and you won't want to miss these spectacular Mayan ruins built along the cliffs overlooking the ocean. Other nearby attractions include Xcaret, Xel-Ha and Yal Ku Lagoon, all within about a 10-minute drive of Soliman Bay.
Restaurants in the area include Oscar y Lalo's within walking distance and Casa Cenote in Tankah. Numerous other restaurants are located in Akumal and Tulum. Reserve Villa Leona for your special romantic getaway on the beach.
