About the Surroundings

Half Moon Bay is part of north Akumal’s secure gated community, known for its tranquil beaches and coral reef. From Playa Caribe 3, you can walk to Yal Ku Lagoon, Akumal Bay, shops, and restaurants. While the area is bike- and golf cart-friendly, a rental car or private driver is recommended for exploring cenotes, ruins, and other Riviera Maya highlights.

KINDLY NOTE: South winds may bring Sargasso Seaweed to some beaches throughout the Caribbean, including the Rivera Maya. While the situation is hard to predict for each specific week and area, we would like you to be aware as there is the potential to impact the beach and water entry.

The Riviera Maya is full of natural beauty, places to explore and opportunities for outdoor activities. We have a great list of activities and adventures completely unaffected by the arrival of sargasso that we would love to share with you. There is so much to see and do in this special place, we know that you will have an amazing and memorable vacation!

The condo was beautiful and very nicely decorated. The check in process was seamless and after the long flight and commute to the property, it was nice to have a wonderful basket of goodies there waiting for us. The site felt very safe with friendly staff always willing to assist. Many of the other guests we met were returning visitors to the property and we hope to one day return. We had a great trip!

This was a lovely and easy place to stay. Everyone who works here is so helpful - the view is beautiful. The pool is great. It can get a little crowded, but all the guests were polite and easy to share space with. We woke to beautiful sunrises every morning. Unfortunately, the sargassum was bad while we were there, but we spent a lot of time at the lagoon and other beaches. This is a definite return to place for us!

We had a great time at Playa Caribe. This unit is next to the pool on the ground, it was like having a house for ourselves. We had cleaning service every day, the people at the condo were very nice. We could walk to a small general store, and went to the Akumal beach that was free of sargasso. Short drive to Tulúm and the cenotes. Great stay!

Such a perfect place for our 5 day stay. The house had everything we wanted, was beautiful, and you can not beat being able to just walk out to the pool and beach. The staff (Augustine and Hilda) were so friendly and helpful. It was a windy week with the sargassum affecting the bay, but we just walked a little north to snorkel. Fab location near little markets and restaurants. Super clean and maintained area. Wish we could have stayed longer! We’ll be back!

This is a quaint little property with a nice pool and small beach. Adelah and Augustin will take good care of you.
If Akumal prices continue to rise we will not be able to afford it after 18 years of vacationing there.

We (and our friends) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Playa Caribe #3, from the clean and well-stocked accommodations, to the staff, to the perfect location. We couldn't have asked for more. The amount of rock/coral and sargasm on the beach was a small bummer, but did not deter from our great vacation!

This condo makes it feel like you're living on the edge of the beach. Super easy access to the pool and a deck that opens onto it, makes it feel like it's your own. In fact, it was easy to forget sometimes that other people were staying there. The concierge team is fantastic and very helpful. We felt safe, comfortable and fully at ease. Add to that a 5 minute walk to Happy Hour and you've got yourself a recipe for a great vacation.

Playa Caribe is a lovely condo residence in a good location in Akumal. We stayed in Condo #3. It was clean, well maintained, the beds were comfortable. It however, has it's door to the beach directly in front of the other guest's area and was often noisy and occupied when we got out for the day. There was also a good bit of noise coming from the front . Other than this, it was a nice place to spend Christmas with my adult kids!

This condo was the best location for the things we came to enjoy. Patio was right in front of the pool and few steps from the beach. We snorkeled every day and enjoyed the outdoor patio for meals. Inside the kitchen was well equipped and we saved money by cooking most days. We would come back again. The only negative would be that the condo was a little musty smelling when we first arrived. Although the condo has air conditioning we preferred opening the patio screens and that seemed to take away the musty smell.

Our overall experience was great. Ideal for a family. We did share with friends, so I did find the shutters enclosing the main bedroom a little too exposed for my preference. But the entire suite was extremely clean, comfortable beds, lots of nice towels and a great blender in the kitchen. I recommend the grocery service. The pool was a nice touch- and clean. We would recommend!

We were very pleased with our ground floor rental at Playa Caribe! The condo was very clean and well stocked. It was the perfect set up for our family of five. We loved waking up to spectacular sunrises with the gorgeous view. We enjoyed lounging by the pool and on the beach just steps from our door. Akumal is truly a place of magic. The people at the property are very friendly and responsive to our needs. The location is wonderful with so much to do in walking distance. We had breakfast at the Turtle Bay Cafe, we enjoyed dinner outside by the sea at Buena Vida. We had a wonderful day that started with breakfast at the Jungle Cafe and then snorkeling further down the street at Ya-Cool. It was amazing to see where the ocean met the fresh water and all of the fish! We felt very safe in our location. We even met Kilo the military dog who’s posted to the area. We traveled outside the arch to dine at a less touristy and local Taco Mia for a delicious lunch. We had an unforgettable experience day tripping in Tulum, exploring the ruins, then we walked to the Playa Paradiso beach and had a healthy breakfast, then set up for the day at the El Paradiso Beach Club to rent a longing bed, umbrella and table and chair setup. We enjoyed the music, drinks, bathroom facilities and the gorgeous clear ocean.
Back at the condo we loved to enjoy a swim while looking out at the ocean. There were lounge chairs with grass umbrellas right in the beach. Highly recommend wearing water shoes as you enter the beach as it’s a bit rocky. We had fun hunting for shells and were rewarded with a huge Conch shell.
We would recommend the Playa Caribe for a magical vacation in Mexico! We’d live to return!

Our stay at Playa Caribe was just the best. We were a group of 9 from 24 yrs to 88 yrs old. We had 3 first floor condos for our group and it was just perfect. Steps from the beach and snorkeling from the beach in front of the complex was the best. Always had a palapa and chairs if we wanted one and our group had 2 golf carts which we used everyday. The sun rise from our porch was spectacular every morning. The ocean view from the patio's was something we enjoyed looking at all day every day. The store across the street had all the snacks and liquor we needed and ice! We ate out every night and the restaurants were all top notch. Favorites being Turtle Bay Bakery & Cafe and La Cueva del Pescador! We had a private chef come in 2 nights for dinner and it was delicious food and they left the kitchen spotless. Augustine the office manager was extremely helpful with any questions or requests and helped translate when needed. The grounds/condos were so pretty and extremely clean. House keeping did an exceptional job every day. Everyone in our group had a fabulous time and can't wait to come back!

Great Kickoff To My Retirement

Very nice roomy comfortable clean condo. Beautiful ocean view, steps away to a very nice beach which you can snorkel, very shallow beach with reefs
Great friendly helpful staff providing great service. Building is well maintained. Daily house keeping service. The only negative is the WiFi was kind of slow.

A wonderful get away!

The rental was perfectly located on the ground level providing easy access to the patio, pool, and beach. The unit was clean, and plenty of room for the 5 of us.

Wonderful place, great location!
