Playa Caribe, Condo #11

Condo 11 was very clean and well stocked. Housekeeping was super sweet and came every day. Couldn’t beat the view. Pool was clean and quiet. Very good location between La Lunita and La Buena Vida. Easy bike ride to Akumal. Someone was always posted outside at night, felt safe enough to sleep with the bedroom door open to hear the ocean sounds. Best sleep ever!

Really well-appointed condo. Staff helpful and friendly. We felt relaxed, at home, and taken care of. A generally quiet and laid back stay. Just what I wanted and needed!

Our family of three spent a memorable Thanksgiving week at Playa Caribe. The condo was impressive and so much to do near by, not to mention having the beach at our doorstep!

Wonderfully appointed space. Probably the best view of the bay. Not far from eating and play. The concierge at Akumal-direct, David was fantastic. Anything I needed he took care of with haste. The only downside was that we were on the 4th floor and there as no elevator. But by the end of the week it actually wasn’t that bad. I’d advise for anyone traveling to Akumal that less is more. The whole area was wonderfully laid back. We are already planning our next visit.

We loved the small town vibe of Akumal. The central location made it easy to travel up and down the Riviera Maya and inland to various Mayan ruins. It's obvious that Half Moon Bay is breathtaking in Fall/Winter, but the bay was overrun with Sargassum in May. We knew this going into the trip and found plenty of non-beach activities to keep us busy. We still managed to swim everyday, whether in cenotes, lagoons, or the pool. The condo was clean, well maintained, and stocked with all of the essentials. We appreciated the housekeeping service offered at Condo Caribe. The only room for improvement was with the hot water; most days we had to let the water run for 15 mins to get warm or just take a cold shower. That being said, we would happily return to Half Moon Bay and Condo Caribe.

We were in #11 and it was stunning. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, we weren't told the seaweed would be bad this time of year, and weren't offered any compensation for it. The beach was unusable, and the smell was awful. Couldn't open the windows. I recommend this place before April.

We loved everything. The location is so quiet and the views cannot be replicated. We loved that we could walk to restaurants and that the pool was so close. The staff at the building was also very pleasant and helpful. Planning a trip back next spring.

We could not have asked for a better stay and beautiful location! This is one of the rare occasions where the listing doesn't do it justice! You feel like you are directly on the ocean - we couldn't imagine coming back and staying anywhere else!

Everyone was wonderful! Agustin made sure we had everything we needed and was professional and friendly. Patricia kept our condo in tip top shape. The accommodations were excellent and the view from the balcony was stunning.

We rented the top floor condo for two nights before heading back to New was clean, well furnished and had a spectacular view of the ocean

We spent a much-needed relaxing week in this beautiful condo. It had an amazing view and everything we needed for some quiet time away.

We love staying in condo #11 four floors up. The views are amazing! The manager and staff was friendly and helpful. The condo is very comfortable but we missed having a tv in main bedroom. Tv in living space was too small. We hope to return some day. We love Halfmoon Bay.

My husband and I recently visited Akumal for the 1st time and truly enjoyed the whole experience. The views from this 4th floor condo are spectacular. The condo was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed. The only we had was with warm/hot water. Some days we had it, but most days we didn't. We contacted the management company to report the issues and was told to let the water run for 5 minutes. On many day, we waited 10+ minutes and no warm water. That would not prevent us from returning though. The photos do not do this pace justice. The proximity and variety of restaurants was a good mix and we enjoyed each and every one many times. There is also a little market right across the street. Everything that we needed was convenient. We would highly recommend giving this condo a visit. We will be returning ourselves again and again.

My only warning is that you need to be aware that this condo is located on the 4th floor. There are a lot of steps and no elevator. Keep that in mind when packing you luggage. ;-) Also, we visited in October and seaweed was really bad. That didn't take away from the beauty of Akumal, just something to keep in mind when planning a visit.

It was wonderfull

Best condo we have rented in Akumal!!

We always stay at Playa Caribe and it never disappoints.

It is located in the middle of half moon bay so best view of all, it is better than photos.

The beach front condo was a two bedroom two bath beach front. Beach is so beautiful snorkeling was fantastic. Condo very clean and very nice. BUT deck roofing is a home to many bats which means lots of bat poop. Had to deal with this every morning until maid cleaned up.
