Description

At a Glance

Playa Caribe 1 is a two-bedroom, two-bath condo in north Akumal’s Half Moon Bay. With its ground-floor location, guests step directly from the terrace to the sand, enjoying a beachfront pool, daily service, and concierge support. Accommodating up to six guests, it blends convenience, comfort, and attentive hospitality in one of Akumal’s most desirable communities.

Inside the Residence

This residence is designed for effortless coastal living. The Master Suite offers a king bed with ensuite bath, while the guest bedroom includes two double beds and its own bathroom. Together they comfortably host up to six guests. Both bedrooms, along with the living and dining areas, are cooled by central air conditioning for year-round comfort.

The open-plan interior includes a fully equipped kitchen, a bright living space, and a dining area that flows onto the terrace. Large glass doors invite natural light and frame ocean views, while the terrace offers direct access to the pool and beach. The property’s northern orientation within the building ensures a sense of privacy while keeping you close to the water’s edge.

Access & Amenities

Guests enjoy daily housekeeping and the support of a professional onsite concierge. The beachfront terrace opens to a shared pool, complete with loungers for relaxing afternoons by the sea. Before arrival, concierge staff can arrange airport transfers, grocery stocking, or spa services, while during your stay they provide expert recommendations for dining, tours, and activities.

About the Surroundings

Half Moon Bay is a secure, gated neighborhood known for its peaceful setting and beautiful shoreline. While its sand is soft, coral rock near the entry means water shoes are helpful for swimmers. The condo is within walking distance of Yal Ku Lagoon, restaurants, and shops. Golf carts and bikes are practical for nearby exploration, while a rental car or private driver is best for accessing cenotes, ruins, and the wider Riviera Maya.

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!

We truly loved our stay here. We had a very interesting trip. We actually arrived on the 30th for our entire trip and originally staying in another unit. It wasn’t peak season, so we knew chances for rain were high. Our first unit started leaking all over the kitchen, so another property owner who was staying there helped us get in contact with this unit and move over. It was within an hour that we were all moved. The rain brought a slight leak to this units kitchen, but this was was able to be fixed very quickly. The location is beautiful. The units are comfortable and very clean. It was myself, my husband and our two daughters. We had such a wonderful trip. We will come back. Rain happpens. Leaks happen. Never let that ruin anything for you! Enjoy how wonderful the town and people are!

This condo was perfect! The location couldn’t have been better and I love the ground floor access to the beach and pool! Our patio felt huge and the area out beyond felt almost private (even though it is shared by all guests). I loved the little tables and shade spots directly on the beach! Beds were comfy enough, definitely felt like a squishy topper over a VERY firm mattress, but thank heavens for the topper. Kitchen is equipped with almost everything you’d need except for shot glasses and amenities to do your own dishes. Blender worked great! I think the highlights of this condo were the location, the set up, and the staff! We will definitely come back and I’d rebook this place in a heartbeat.

We absolutely enjoyed our trip to Half Moon Bay at Playa Caribe. It was phenomenal. Very clean, and helpful staff. Drinking water initially provided and additional water provided upon request. We felt very safe, the beach and pool were perfect for our stay. The condo looks just as the photos. The location is ideal, limited access to outsiders and several beachfront restaurants within a short beach walk. Will absolutely return!

It was a great experience to be able to be on the first floor and walk right out onto the beach. We had a wonderful time. The place was very clean and quite spacious. We had everything we needed. One of the back right burners didn't work but we made due.

The overall rental experience was excellent. The booking process was simple, straight forward and all of my questions were answered in a timely fashion. Also, the online pictures accurately reflect the current status of Condo #1. Lastly, future renters should be aware, if seaweed lands on the beach in front of Play Caribe, or on the neighboring condominiums on either side, NO effort is made to remove it. It is left alone to let Mother Nature take it course. To enter the water you must walk 300-400 yards to the north to find the beginning of properties who remove it. It is what it is.
Manager response on 2023-04-13 - Response from Akumal Direct Reservations
Thank you Michael, We're so glad that everyone in your party enjoyed their stay at Playa Caribe. Good news is that this summer the bay will have a containment barrier installed and hopefully reduce the amount of seaweed on the beach. Unfortunatey, Half Moon Bay's unique position and delicate ecosystem doesn't allow for heavy machinery and the amount of seaweed is so much that even when we had men shoveling 8 hours a day, their efforts hardly made a dent. Do let us know when you're ready to join us again and we'll gladly update you on the sargassum situation.

Perfect!

Playa Caribe unit 1 is a beautiful unit that opens directly on to the beach. The unit is set away from the pool which is ideal for a more "chill" space on the patio. The unit was clean and well maintained. Beautiful views and great pool. The only negatives were that the coffee maker was broken and when we told the property manager on the first day, he failed to replace it for our entire stay. The second negative was the extremely bright rope lights they use to light the entry to the condos. They shine through the patio doors from about 10 feet away on the bedroom all night. We had to cover the door with blankets to keep the light out so we could sleep.

We loved Condo #1! It was spacious, clean, and bright. The staff at Playa Caribe are fantastic. We stayed with our two children, ages 5 and 8, and we had plenty of space. We also traveled with 4 other families who also stayed at Playa and it was great to have all of us in one place together, yet allowing each of us to have our own condo.

We've vacationed yearly in Akumal for over the past 10 years, and have sampled a fair number of condos and villas. This unit is nice and well kept, with no real flaws. It has central air which is not typical, and a real bonus in hot/humid weather. The building staff are friendly and efficient, as expected. The pool is small but sufficient unless you have a fair number of kids with you, when it might be a bit tight. Only suggestion - get rid of the sign ("More chairs available on the north side") which isn't needed and blocks the view from the condo, as shown.

Beautiful condo!

Playa Caribe was a beautiful condo complex! The staff went out of their way to accommodate us. Agustin was so friendly and Alfredo as well.
Although the showers in condo #1 were a little iffy- we made ado. It would have been nice to have salt and pepper at least for guests. Everything was meticulously cleaned and the beds were very comfortable. We really enjoyed our first stay here!

We have stayed at Playa Caribe numerous times and have found it to be the BEST! Location, Cleanliness, Beach and any overall Vacation pleasure.

The area was exactly what we were looking for--quiet village atmosphere. Several restaurants within walking distance that we enjoyed. There were more amenities in the condo's than we realized. The grill mentioned was portable and shared so you had to reserve it for dinner and did not have exclusive use to it but that didn't really bother us. Being able to drink the water was a HUGE plus!
