We first came to Playa Caribe 20 years ago. This was our 4th Akumal visit, 3rd to PC, The good, town is lovely and has managed to stay small, sea is beautiful, people are warm and helpful, restaurants are all beautiful. The bad, 1) the bus loads of visitors everyday have left the coral in Half Moon and Akumal Bays damaged badly; 2) the intensity of sales as you enter town and walk on Akumal Bay is way up; 3) the seaweed storm was very bad and made the beach on Half Moon Bay unuasable. The condo associations need to find a way to address the seaweed when it comes, since it comes every year. Our best memory from last visits was snorkeling from the beach in front of the condo, which was impossible due to seaweed. Playa Caribe is still a great place to stay and excellent value. The kitchens/baths are due for updates, but everything worked fine and manager and staff were great.
Manager's Response
Thank you Jeffrey,
We're so glad that you found Playa Caribe a great place to stay and excellent value. As far as the seaweed goes, this has been an ongoing topic and many efforts have been implemented by residents and HOA. Unfortunately, mother nature cannot be contained but hopefully the barrier that will be installed this summer can help.
Amazing family vacation!

We had an unbelievable time at Playa Caribe! We were a large family of 12 using 5 unites (Condos 1, 2, 6, Studio Natasha and Studio Maria). The pool and location were amazing. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Akumal is a very relaxing and beautiful place!

We were excited to revisit Akumal, and share the experience with my brother and his wife. Our Condo is located right in front of the beach and next to the pool. We were notified in advance about the Sargasso Sea weed. The time of year dictates if this would be a problem. We got in the heavy time but the boys on the beach sprayed it so we had no odor. Maybe a couple times for an hour or so. We loved snorkeling in the Cenote’s and rented a golf cart to go to all the amazing restaurants. Lol Ha our favorite. My brother and I went fishing with Loipuis JR. caught a 130lb Sail fish! Amazing day the help is amazing our room was cleaned day.

We enjoyed our stay in Playa Caribe #2. We chose ground floor this time which we liked for easy access from the pool and beach. The property is clean and management is very attentive. The only concerns were the refrigerator could use replacing as it was not level and the air conditioner was quite loud. The manager did have the a/c checked the day we asked about it but was going to take several hours so we passed on having it taken care of during our stay and just got used to it. He was also very helpful in scheduling our Covid tests even though we had to have it on a Sunday. We loved meeting other guests around the pool and on the beach.

The place very clean, maid service and property management very helpful. The condo is nice, spacious, patio private, pool on the small side but great to have. Be ready the beach is very rocky. Location is perfect. Be careful with speedbumps though.
We look forward to visiting again.

Thanks to the Flakes for sharing their beautiful condo. We love the location and neighborhood. The condo has everything most would want for a beach vacation. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking if you want to. Having the reverse osmosis water was a fantastic feature. The staff were very helpful, reliable and a pleasure to work with. We would love to come back!

For my first visit to the Yucatan Peninsula, I chose this property because of my desire to by steps from the ocean, a pool for my daughter, ability to watch sunrises, peace, safe environment, away from major mega tourist traps, snorkeling walking distance and a comfortable practical place to spend my days. I’m hesistant to write such a good review as I don’t want to let the secret out of the bag. Playa Caribe met all of my expectations and then some. It’s location, peacefulness, design, pool, staff and communication with the owner. Tip Hilda every day, she’ll appreciatte it. Be kind to the area as we are only visiting ths beautiful planet for a short while. “Can’t take it with you.”
Excellent! Beautiful place. Perfect for our 1 week family vacation.

The building is very nice. Probably the nicest looking in the area with its thatched roof, open roof foyer and more authentic architectural style. The pool was lovely and our kids (7 & 9) had loads of fun in it.Unit 2 was very spacious and bright. We loved the ground floor with beach, garden and pool right off the patio. The kitchen was well equipped with everything apart from a kettle and sharp knife and/or knife sharpener but we managed. It was very clean and comfortable. We loved being able to drink the water and make ice - a total bonus! The shower/spa baths were a little odd and the steps in are quite high and hard on bad knees.The beach was perfect with the best snorkeling straight out front with coral and every fish imaginable, rays, barracuda (only 1 turtle). A bit rocky getting in and out but there are a few smooth clear areas to walk on. We usually had shoes or fins on so no problem.Overall this place was fantastic and we had a great time!
Incredible location

The condo is located right on the beach and by the pool. It was great to have that convenience. We really enjoyed snorkeling in the bay and seeing coral and small fish. My family and I enjoyed exploring the Half Moon Bay area and restaurants. We ate at La Buena Vida, La Lunita and the Turtle Bay Bakery. All were very good with great atmospheres. It was wonderful to hear the waves crashing every night as I fell asleep. In addition, the staff at the complex was really helpful and friendly. I would definitely come here again and will recommend it to friends and family!
Great trip, although very different to 15 years ago. The beach unfortunately has been significantly eroded due to hurricanes and sargassum, so the photo depicted is not what it looks like today. Snorkeling and swimming in the bay is still possible and the recent installation of the barrier seems to be having an effect on preventing the Sargassum somewhat. The turtles are still nesting and hatching which is a bonus. There's loads to do apart from swimming in the bay and we found a great Cenote just north of the town of Akumal called Puerto Maya, inexpensive and not crowded. Yal-Ku lagoon is worth a visit for snorkeling but go early before the big groups get there. We discovered some great restaurants in Akumal town, just over the bridge, Cuvea for fish tacos and Xmirnas Cafe Town for pizza. Jungle Fish Beach Club is worth a visit for lunch/dinner, swim and relax. Tony, the owner is so accommodating and the fish is fresh and delicious. Le Buena Vida is still a great local restaurant and has a great Happy Hour. There's a new outdoor gym which is very cool and a new coffee shop which has great coffee and yummy pastries. Akumal Direct were great to work with regarding booking our condo, car rental, airport transfer and general suggestions. I would absolutely recommend their services. This was our 6th trip to Akumal and Half Moon Bay and we had a enjoyable, relaxing, fun filled 2 week vacation.
