The people are wonderful. The place is sweet but there are no windows. That would normally be a deal breaker for me. Some people may not care. Outdoor spaces are terrific so I tried to be outside all the time. Otherwise casita is well decorated and has everything and is really well run.

We are so happy we were able to stay at Casita Maria! It was so charming, and the location was unbelievable! Right on the beach in Half Moon Bay! Beautiful, and great snorkeling too. We saw stingrays, turtles, and a lot of fish! We loved it! And there was no sargassum. The beach was perfect!!! For the price, this little gem is fantastic! It's not huge... it's like a hotel room with a bonus kitchen. Everything worked great, and it was nice and clean. Patricia did a wonderful job cleaning our room each day. Augustin was very nice, although we didn't talk to him much because we didn't have any issues. I definitely recommend a stay at charming little Casita Maria! Oh, and don't forget to use the dehumidifier in the corner of the room. It made a huge difference (we didn't realize it was there until halfway through our trip). Thanks for a great place to stay, Chris and Polly!

Casita Maria is a great place for a quiet getaway. The unit is private, but only a short walk from the pool. Chris & Polly were very quick to answer all of my questions about the casita. The unit had all the supplies I needed, including a cooler that I used for a day trip. There's a great restaurant just down the street and a convenience store just across the way. I had a rental car and the building has plenty of reserved parking.

We enjoyed our long weekend in Akumal at Casita Maria! Location is perfect for exploring - walkable to all restaurants and activities. Having access to the pool was perfect. The Casita has everything needed for a very comfortable stay. The air conditioning unit is amazing. The bathroom is nicely updated and has plenty of space. We have a close friend that lives in the area year round and we will be back to visit and plan to stay at Casita Maria in the future. Perfect Stay!

We just spent 4 nights at this Casita. It's very clean and well maintained. Close proximity to a small store that has all essentials and a nice snorkel shop. Also very close to La Buena Vida, a great little restaurant/beach hangout. The kitchenette is well-stocked, the pool is nice, and the staff at Playa Caribe is very friendly. The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is due to THE SEAWEED. There are literally 3 foot mounds of SEAWEED on the beach all along Half Moon Bay. It's especially bad directly in front of the complex in which this casita is located (Playa Caribe). Playa Caribe's beach is basically the width of a beach lounger plus about two feet of sand - and then massive amounts of SEAWEED block your entrance to the ocean. I realize this is not within the control of the owners and that there are people working to remove the seaweed from the beach almost every day. We also still really enjoyed our stay. However, I just wish I had known about the seaweed prior to booking this place. It really is pretty overwhelming. You are still able to walk down the beach either direction and access the water, but had it been crowded, we would have been stuck in lounge chairs with our feet about two feet from the mounds of seaweed. It's kind of sad. Otherwise, this is an absolutely top notch little getaway.

This is our second time at Casita Maria in Akumal, and we couldn't be more satisfied. The room is like a hotel room with an additional small kitchen, but the real selling point of this place is the pool which is right on the bay. The service is great, the room is clean, and there's a newly renovated bathroom. For the price, it's hard to beat this little place.

We always vrbo when we travel and have stayed in many places but I have to say that Playa Caribe has the best and most responsive management of anywhere we have stayed. Augustin will help you figure out anything you need or have questions about. It is a very well kept condo complex and Casita Maria was spotless and welcoming. My husband, daughter and I stayed and while staying in a studio can be a bit confining the fact is that we never ate inside once. We made meals and ate them all out on the deck by the pool looking at half moon bay. Half Moon bay and Akumal Bay are great place to be introduced to snorkeling. We are divers but our 10 year old snorkeled for the first time and saw turtles, fish everything. What a great first experience. Akumal is easy and safe to walk and bike everywhere. Great family vacay. Thanks for the great Casita Chris and Polly.

We really enjoyed our stay at Casita Maria. Very clean, comfortable beds and a good location, about 15 minute walk to town. Nice to have a small grocery store across the street. Augusta, the front desk Manager was very helpful. Yal Ku is walking distance and we would highly recommend a trip there if you like to snorkel, the sea was pretty rough in front of the complex during the time we were there. Great home base to explore the area.
