Playa Caribe, Studio Natasha

Studio Natasha is a little outdated. A dehumidifier would have been nice to have. Not a lot of dishes, utensils & serving pieces in the kitchen. The heating elements on the stovetop were all bent up. We cook breakfast most mornings and had to do most of it in Studio Maria where our brother was staying.
The beds are VERY firm. Studios are on the back side of the building with only 2 windows ( Kitchen door w/blinds and bathroom which also has a glass frosted door). The lights from the property shined in all night long like the Las Vegas strip so if you like to sleep in complete dark good luck. The property & beach were clean. Pool is nice overlooking the ocean although I had to clean it with the skimmer daily. It’s very dark at night. In my opinion the pool lights should to be kept on after dark for safety purposes. The security guard (Daniel) didn’t do much except set in front of his laptop instead of walking the grounds. We were watching the sunrise one morning and startled him as he was asleep on one of the beach loungers. Housekeeping service was excellent! Glenn & Barb who reside in Studio Annette are great people & so helpful. We bonded right away and enjoyed their friendship.
We have stayed in Akumal several times and are in love with it. We will be back to Playa Caribe but will try a full condo next time.

Manager's Response

Playa Caribe is one of our favorite properties. We enjoyed the Studio Natasha. It was well organized, clean, and comfortable. The only thing that was difficult for me personally was the dampness in the Studio. That really can't be helped as the ground floor Studio is partially underground. It wouldn't be a problem for most, but my severe Arthritis made it more difficult. All in all though, it was a great unit, and we were happy with our stay. The management is awesome!!

We stayed in this casita many years ago. Now it is very nicely decorated. It could use some bowls (cereal or yogurt type) and glasses. Great location, nice pool. Augustin was great!

A most magical experience!!! Will be back soon.
