This was our first time at Playa Caribe but have been to Akumal over 10 times. We decided to try PC for the pool, which isn't very common on Half Moon Bay. We were very pleased to have the pool as the ocean was lapping right up to the property. The unit itself far exceeded our expectations. Unit 5 provided two oceanfront bedrooms, a more than adequate living and kitchen space and excellent service by the staff on hand. We spent evenings on our lovely deck, listening to the ocean and enjoying the stars. Special notes: Housekeeping service was superb! Linens were lovely. Beds divine. Showers large although, as is typical in Akumal, hot water was spotty. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. Very safe, welcoming and property overall in beautiful and clean condition. Eager to get back!

Manager's Response

We absolutely loved our stay! The hotel staff is very accommodating and keep the property immaculate. The coffee maker stopped working after the first day and it was quickly replaced. We used the kitchen daily with blending drinks and cooking breakfast. We love Playa Caribe and would highly recommend this place.

This a wonderful unit--clean, breezy, and set up nicely for two couples or a family. Really, the condo (and the sunny weather) were the highlights of our trip. For some reason the hot water was not working in the showers and was not fixed however.

We arrived in the evening so it was a shocking surprise to see the upclose ocean views in the morning! I just wish I could keep it a big secret so that I can know I’m able to get a new reservation with ease! Lol

We were fortunate to stay in Playa Caribe #5 for two full weeks. Nothing can compete with waking every morning and seeing the beautiful blue water. Seriously we were literally within 20ft from the water. The pool was great for laying in the sun or going for a swim. Snorkeling was amazing right out the front door. If you are interested in seeing Tulum or Playa please plan on renting a car. Otherwise everything you need is within walking distance. This is a fantastic property! You won’t regret it for sure.

We're glad to know you enjoyed your 2 weeks at Playa Caribe #5. Do let us know when you're ready to come back and we'll be happy to help you find the place you want most in Akumal.

This unit, building and location exceeded all of our expectations. I want to address the seaweed concerns as we came in mid-May and were well warned about the potential for seagrass to impede our use of the beach. We almost went somewhere else!
There was enough seaweed right at our beach at this unit that it wouldn't have been pleasant to swim from there or use the chairs. But this did not negatively effect our vacation at all. We walked 5 properties up for lunch at La Lunita and swam there and it was seaweed free and clear. You can swim from anywhere, the shoreline is public. We also walked to the lagoon and it was great swimming and snorkeling and seaweed free. We could also walk to Akumal Bay and zero seaweed there and great beach access. The on-site pool is also a great alternative. Don't let it ruin your vacation! This unit on the second floor offers beautiful turquoise water views and you don't even see the seaweed. We looked at booking the "seaweed free" complex but you can't use the beach there 's rock. The tile in the unit was so cute and charming, the sunken tubs are special. Kitchen well appointed. Plenty of extras to borrow or rent on site. Akumal was safe, beautiful and friendly. I will never stay at one of those all inclusives again!

Manager's Response

Thank you, Sara! We're glad you know how to enjoy Riviera Maya regardless of beach conditions. Let us know when you're ready to visit Akumal again and we'll gladly help you find the property you most want.

This condo is so beautifully decorated, well appointed and we felt very secure. It had everything we needed. Plus the views from all rooms were amazing and the King bed was super comfortable. The staff was very helpful, and even came late in the evening when the wind blew a bedroom door shut and locked us out. The extra snorkel fins they had by the pool came in handy too. It is a very handy location as well. We loved walking to the village for dinner on occasion, especially recommend the Turtle Cafe and Bakery. Don’t miss walking to the nearby Cenote for snorkeling too. I hope we can return to this lovely condo.

We stayed 8 days in this condo and we couldn't dream of a better place. Sunrise from the balcony is breathtaking, the view is absolutely stunning. You can see the water not only from balcony but from the living room and bedrooms. The rooms were clean and Patricia, the cleaning lady, was amazing. I love that rooms were being clead daily as we cooked inside as well. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything and more than we need. The only issue we have was the slow internet connection as all 3vof us needed fast connection to work and study.
Beach in front of the condo is narrow and sometimes seaweeds are pilled up in the morning, but staff cleans them daily. To enter a water you will need water shoes as it is rocky. Just swim a bit away from the beach and you will find beatiful fish and corals. We were snorkeling every day. Right next to the building there is a small grocery store, very helpfu. 10 minutes walk there is very nice restaurant right on the beach La Buena Vida. We loved it. We also enjoy live music at Taverna restaurant in Akumal(20 minutes walk) where talented saxophonist was playing every Saturday evening at 7pm. The food is delicious, too. Akumal Bay is 20 minutes walk where we bought a ticket to snorkel and spent a day on the beach. We saw turtles, ray, colorful fish, and squid.
This was the best trip we ever had. Will stay at the same condo next time for sure.

The visit was our 2nd in 3 years. We very much enjoyed this visit. The staff was very accommodating and the area is a great escape from the hustle and bustle of Cancun. Nearby restaurants provided excellent selection and cuisine. We would definitely recommend this location and Akumal Direct Reservations.

The Playa Caribe is a venue we have used many times. It has the greatest view in Half Moon Bay and is wonderfully munged. The condo was kept immaculately clean and the staff were very helpful. Akumal Direct made the reservation process easy. I left a toiletries kit at the condo when I checked out. Akumal Direct connected witt Playa Caribe who found the kit. Akumal Direct then made arrangements to get it back to me 5000 miles away. I call that outstanding service. The contentment we achieved in Akumal was not disrupted by my forgetfulness.

I loved this place! Huge bathrooms and stocker with amenities. I still cannot get over the view. I fell asleep to the sound of the waves crashing onto the shore every night—magical! My kids loved the pool and we were just a short walk from Buen vida and La Lunita. The only down side was it was pretty rocky in front of the condos and the condos was a tad smaller than I expected. Having said that, the staff and amenities more than made up for it.

We will definitely be back! We had a fantastic time relaxing and snorkeling right in front of the condo. The beach is beautiful. Pictures don't do it justice. The property manager is amazing... he was able to organize a fishing boat and day tour of the ruins/ cenotes for us that fit exactly what we were looking for. It was easy to get around, we walked and rented bikes. There are a few great restaurants within walking distance but the kitchen is well stocked so it was nice to be able to cook in the condo.We are looking forward to our next trip!!

Absolutely wonderful.

We had an amazing time. I’m the type that doesn’t enjoy being surrounded by a million people on vacation. It really felt like we had the whole Bay to ourselves.Everyday we went on an adventure and explored a new town or a beautiful Cenote. I loved sitting on the deck and watching the waves.Only thing that Could have been better was the seaweed, which is a natural phenomenon. Even that wasn’t too bad if you wanted to get in the water you just had to walk down the beach a bit.Great stay great host.

We had a wonderful time at Annie's. The location of the condo couldn't have been more perfect - an easy walk to 'town' but even easier to both La Lunita and La Buena Vida restaurants. Half Moon Bay was affected by sargassum but that's Mother Nature and there was always a clear path somewhere along the way to get in the water and swim. And workers were constantly cleaning up the beach. The staff at Playa Caribe are top notch. Agustin even set up for us to have in-room massages on the last night of our stay! We look forward to our next trip to Annie's!!

This was my husband and my first time NOT staying in an all inclusive. Our best friends who shared Annie’s condo with us had never done either or even been to Mexico. It was also my first time doing a VRBO. From the second I booked it i received my first email from Annie. Every possible question I had was already answered in this first email which completely set me at ease.Now the condo itself. No other word other than perfect. PERFECT. Four adults in our 50’s, we spent most of our time on the deck, snorkeling in halfmoon bay or swimming in the pool. Tulum was stupid busy.....back to the condo. Yal Ku Lagoon was stupid busy.....back to the condo. It literally had EVERYTHING you needed. And a perfect location.Thank you Annie for an incredible holiday

Great place...

Loved the traditional style of the place. Of course, the view is fantastic and you not only have a view forward on the patio but the sides are open also for additional view. Spent alot of time on that patio! As noted on the listing, the WiFi was perfect and the air conditioning was perfect and comfortable. Hot water was endless. Kitchen was fully stocked. Akumal is more of a low key area versus Playa de Carmen and Cancun. Went down to Tulum one day and that is getting so busy, I was so glad to get back to Akumal and Annie's place that day to relax again. Great place! Thank you Annie.

Clean unit in a beautiful location!
