We loved our stay and would highly recommend. The studio is well designed and well equipped and the gas grill was a great bonus. The AC and hot water were both exceptional. The patio had outstanding ocean views, which was just steps away. The snorkeling directly out the door was excellent and the beach afforded great, long walks. We will be back to this specific unit!

Wow! This place is amazing. Comes with a private entry to the beach. Very clean place and has security onsite. Located near many activities plus it comes equipped with everything you need to feel at home. Rita takes great care of the room and keeps clean linens. Definitely a great place to stay. Private pool on site, also! We didn’t want to leave

The condo is small but nice and was well kept. It could use a few more homey touches. We loved the quick access to the beach and have always enjoyed this particular beach.

Great little condo, amazing beach view from the private patio. The staff were friendly and helpful. The kitchen was stocked with all the basic cookware required. The air conditioning worked well, but we would have used the air conditioning less if the screens were repaired. There were holes in the patio door screen and the kitchen window screen, we were concerned when these windows were left open that we could have ants and other insects invade the condo. The screens with holes were an issue. The pool was fairly decent but was a little murky a few days, it looks like it needed some extra cleaning and repairing the missing tiles on the bottom of the pool would improve the overall pool experience., these were the only negative comments we had.

Enjoyed our month on the beach! Daily beach walks with warm breezes.Soft sand, however take your water shoes, as entrance into the water can be rocky in areas. Accommodation is adequate for a couple, with a king bed, full kitchen to make our meals. A car is recommended.

We had such a great time at this condo - we can’t wait to come back. The location can’t be beat and so many great amenities are provided. The bed was comfy, the kitchen had everything we needed, the shower was great, and we really appreciated the beach chairs, floaties, and boogie boards. Checking in and out was very easy and we had great communication the whole time. The staff is super helpful and friendly and we felt safe and secure the whole time. There are a couple of nice bars and restaurants on the beach that you can walk to and the snorkeling was amazing just right out our door. We’d highly recommend this spot.

Location is perfect, literally 50 feet from the sea. The condo was very quiet at the time we were there and we had the pool to ourselves as well as the beach. King bed was extremely comfo. The items like the extra cushions for the beach chairs and the traveller’s umbrella and chairs were a big plus. Rita the housekeeper was very friendly. We loved our vacation there! Thank you!

The condo was great. A couple pros/cons: good number of kitchen appliences, but not a grain of salt or drop of oil for use. Clean well maintained bathroom, but only a cake of soap available- Luckily we didn't forget any toiletries. There were many high quality details about this condo and the interior, but the exterior of this building was a bit of an eyesore.

Rita (cleaning lady) fabulous and the 2 Luis's (groundskeepers) also fabulous. The snorkelling right out from was great so that was an added bonus. When we needed something extra (like dish towel) our request was immediately taken care of.

The location was magical, literally steps from the ocean . The sound of the waves and the gorgeous view kept a constant sense of joy and wonder at this perfect property. This studio is on the end of the bldg, providing more privacy while on the patio. Some of the condos are privately owned and that might explain the eyesore and deterioration of the adjoining balcony was falling apart. Still, a much better job could have been done cleaning up the side of the patio here: trash and rotting wood strewn about. The check in was hampered by the security guard turning my driver and I away. Paid guests should be expected! What a hassle. Utter darkness at the doorway, trying to use phone flashlight to get key. Minor distractions these. The studio was perfect and well appointed, cleaned daily, tons of great towels. An enthusiastic 2 thumbs up and highest recommendation. I’m frantically trying to get one of the private owners to rent to me 12/18-12/29!!

Beautiful “budget” studio unit that provided comfort, cleanliness, access to the Caribbean Sea (50’ away!), that has a gorgeous view of the Sea!
Relaxing space, modern appliances which allow for a cozy place to stay.
(A few of negatives) a crew were working on the roof on the 3rd floor directly above the patio area when we arrived. Not a safe setup also, made a big mess on the patio area which we had to clean) secondly, most of the TV channels are is Spanish. Made for limited TV options in the evening. Finally, no one contacted us within 24 hours if there were any up issues etc. as promised.

We had a lot of fun here. The location is fantastic! Woke up to ocean views and breezes every morning. Rita, the Housekeeper, was a jewel, we wanted to bring her with us when we left. The management staff was very responsive to the number of issues we had, I just wish there were not so many. This did NOT ruin our vacation, and a lot of the issues were beyond anyone's control. We would stay here again, and if you don't mind that everything is not 100% perfect, then you should consider this studio.

This location does not disappoint in the slightest.
As far as we could tell, this unit within the complex may have had the most private patio available.
Being able to open the doors and step out into soft white sand under swaying palm trees and dip your toes in the ocean within 50 feet of your door is pretty incredible. We were there in the off-season during COVID, so we never had problems finding a lounge chair to use.
The snorkeling is good right out from your door. Fish, coral, rays, but unfortunately no turtles (at least not this time of year.) However, we did find evidence of turtle nests and hatched eggs 5 feet from the patio door! Very cool!
Parking is behind a manned gate and feels very safe.
There is a great beach bar and grill a one minute walk down the beach. We found ourselves shooting the breeze with the amazing staff on more than a couple occasions.
If you aren't a person who can't look past a few issues and need total luxury, this is not the place for you. For instance, the toilet seat was not bolted down and slid all over. The faucet in the bathroom is not secured to the countertop and shifts when you use it, sometimes spraying you. There are some major cracks on a supporting wall. Wouldn't want to be there in an earthquake. It has some ant issues, but hey, it's the tropics. The pillows were either hard and flat or very lumpy. We had internet issues that were remedied very quickly once we notified the property manager.
Bottom line, the most important things to us anywhere we stay are: cleanliness (GREAT!), safe (GREAT!), parking (GREAT!), location (BEYOND GREAT!), a kitchen with enough amenities to be able to cook a simple breakfast (ADEQUATE).
We would stay here again based on that view alone!

We really enjoyed our stay in 001 Cute and Romantic studio. It was updated and had everything we needed. The beach was wonderful but we could have used an extra palapa or maybe a patio umbrella for some shade as most were reserved by those who winter there or/and own the condos. I understand they would get priority. We would definitely return and perhaps rent a car for a longer trip.

Very nice. The end unit was in a wonderful location in the building, with great beach access. It was a comfortable ,safe setting. Snorkeling was very fun. There is a little restaurant down the beach, the Bikini Bar, that was very welcoming and good food. We did shop for our food, planning to prepare our own meals and found that the stove didn't work as well as expected but it did the job. Be sure to bring your own seasonings. We would definitely return to this location.

Studio is tucked away in a private area of a larger condo complex - it seems some of the units are privately owned like this one and some belong to the Oasis AI next door. The pool unfortunately was full of AI guests and their children and was typically warm so we didn’t use it. We were always able to grab the palapa closest to the end of the property near the studio and away from the AI section which afforded a bit more privacy. The reef is incredible and there is a sandy entrance to the water. We did not get a car - it was easy enough to get a taxi at the AI or walk about a half mile to the collectivo. We stopped on the way in to grab groceries and the studio is well set up to do all kinds of meal prep. You can walk to the Beached Bikini Bar or the restaurant on top of Villas de Rosa or take a taxi into Akumal for meals out. The cleaning and maintenance people are friendly and fantastic - responding to any ? or needs. The AC is excellent at keeping the entire studio cool. The rain shower in the bathroom was refreshing. The patio is shaded a good portion of the day and is a good option for outdoor dining. If you can avoid and ignore the AI situation next door this is an excellent choice of accommodation.

We had a magical week in this newly renovated studio. It is an efficient and beautifully designed space right on a gorgeous beach. We would wake up to the sunrise on the beach and sit in our private patio area for meals and endless hours of lounging in the sun.
We had a great housekeeper and the studio manager was able to resolve any minor issues that we had. You need to be fairly independent to enjoy your stay here, and you should have a car to fend for meals, entertainment etc. It is not a hotel, and that's what we wanted -lots of privacy and relaxation on our own schedule. 
The studio is affiliated with a resort hotel but you have very limited access there. The hotel is quite shabby but the pools are ok. 
The best thing is to just enjoy your own private oasis at the studio, and use a car to explore the beautiful Mayan Riviera.

We really enjoyed the condo! Very private. Just step out the sliding door to a nice patio with loungers and a wonderful private ocean sand side table and 50 feet further away from the room and you're in the warm water. Nice condo pool too. The bed was very comfortable!!!!
We really enjoyed taking long walks up and down the beach. Snorkeling and swimming just off the beach too. Daily volleyball games were fun too. 
The studio is close enough to Tulum and Akumal for food shopping and restaurants. We did rent a car for our week and found it very helpful. We traveled to the Coba Mayan ruins and went cenote scuba diving outside of Tulum. We liked snorkeling and lunch/dinners near Akumal's bay too (just a short 10 min. drive north of the condo). 
The studio is very well equipped with kitchen items. Bottled water 5 gallon dispenser and a big fridge too. 
We arrived the first day at night and found it a little hard to locate exactly where to go from the parking area. The night security person could not help us. But after walking around a bit we found it. 
We would defiantly return!!!

Condo was clean and pretty well maintained, nothing was broken. Small things like water stains around faucet base, not sure they can be cleaned, toilet seat was a little loose. The housekeeping was great, they did a fantastic job everyday. AC worked really well. Doors all locked securely. Akumal direct folks were great! We really enjoyed it and would go back.

The really only big downside was fishermen park their boats right in front of the beach, so everyday there were 3 or 4 boats floating about 10-20 feet out in the water, it made snorkeling or just enjoying the water a bit of a downer as you had to be careful of the boats.

We had a great time we just love akumal, I will leave some tips at the end of my review.
Studio 001 was a great little condo for a couple, huge slider opens right to the beach, bed was firm but probably the softest we have found in our Mexico travels.
Ac worked almost to good .
Place came stocked with Ice and a water cooler with an extra bottle, it had small kitchen a four top burner stove, great for making breakfast. Microwave blender coffee maker toaster, and basic pots and pans, a huge walkin closet, in the bathroom area, a charcoal grill outside. And it is right beside oasis Tulum resort, actually some of the rooms in the building are part of the resort . And we had no problems using the resort pools they resort manager said we coul use any pool and even the gym if we wanted , and if we wanted We could ad allinclusive day passes for about $41 u.s per person per day . But we had no need for that . There are some boats along the beach I hired one to take me and my wife on a fishing trip for 3 hours, for $180 . There's a reef with in swimming distance lots of fish to see , do bring water shoes . There's a safe in the room and security in the parking lot , so that was nice , the maid cleans everyday but Sunday. And she put fresh sheets on the bed every other day we were there 8 days. So now for some tips when visiting Akumal.
1 rent a car , everything is basically off of the main highway 307 , and it's really not bad driving . Do expect to pay a lot for insurance, and don't buy it ahead of time because they will tell you it's not sufficient , or you can go with American rental car the include Everything, for about $250 for the week . We used mex this time and paid $85 for the car and 170 for the mandatory SLI insurance . For 8 days . But still worth the hassle, next time however I'll just use American rental car .
So we stopped doing all inclusive resorts in this area because it feels a bit like ground hog day , by day 3 three , and there is so much to do outside of the resorts and easy and cheap on your own. 
2 places to go if you like to snorkel Akumal public beach , it's like 3 km away and there is always turtles there . It's a public beach so if you have your gear it's free , it does cost about 2.50 a day for parking .
Next stop we like is just past Akumals public beach la Bueno vita , it's a restaurant with some decent snorkeling and good food and even a pool and hammocks . We went there several times . I want to say for $20-$30me and my wife had our meals and several drinks . They even have a happy hour we caught once I think it's from 4-6 . All the restaurants seem to be inexpensive.
Next spot for us was yalkool it's abut $14 per person if you have your gear it's got some decent snorkeling, and it's really calm .
We also did casa cenote's it's towards Tulum it was nice about $5 if you had your gear , and right past it is blue sky restaurant for some great Pizza . 
We did go see the ruins in Tulum which is cool If you've never done it . Cost $8 or $10 to park and like $4 for the entrance fee 
We also did Jarden Elden , cenote's for like $5 a person, they have a cool platform you can jump off . 

Do exchange your money for pesos, every where takes U.S money but at a very bad exchange rate you basically lose 20% paying in U.S $ . We orderd pesos from our home bank before we left and hit up an ATM when we needed more . We hit up Walmart in playa delcarmen for , beer and snacks and what ever we needed for the condo , you can pay there whith U.S $ and the give you pretty much the exact exchange rate .
Also bikini beach bar is just a short walk down the beach from the condo for lunch , it's just ok but convenient. and about $8 a plate , 3-5$ for drinks 
Most places we ate we had left overs we later would eat for breakfast, 
Last tip where ever you rent keep your food in ziplock bags or in the fridge as antz are plentiful in Akumal.

We usually stay at an all-inclusive resort in Mexico but this time we thought we would try a beachfront condo. The pictures looked amazing but the were mixed reviews. We booked it anyway. We absolutely would stay here again and would recommend to everyone. The pictures don't do it justice. We met several other guests who were staying in other units and we got to look in them as they did ours. By far this was more modern than the others. The mind service was outstanding and unexpected. We used the facilities at the resort and was asked if we were staying there (I think because we weren't wearing the wristband that alerted them) but once we explained we were staying in the condo there was no other problem. We left the resort multiple times and the security guards were nothing but friendly and even offered to help carry our groceries one day since we had several bags. I would suggest a car because it is quite a way from the main road although there is public transportation. We had an amazing time and would go back anytime.

Studio 001 is tucked away at the northern end of Aventuras Akumal Bay in building A, next to the Oasis Tulum resort complex and Casa Salvaje.

Studio 001 has cold AC, a king sized bed, ocean view sofa, a well-equipped granite countered kitchenette with breakfast bar and flat screen satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and an ensuite bathroom with shower and dressing room. Studio 001 also has sliding doors leading out to its private beachfront patio. Guests staying at Studio 001 have access to the pool, shade palapas, and sun loungers a few steps away from the unit. Full Beach Club Access to all facilities can be purchased with a day pass to the nearby resort.

Nearby is also the Hacienda Dona Isabela shopping complex with plenty of gift stores, and an ATM, and for golfers the Riviera Maya Golf Club, which is the newest and most exciting golf course here in the Riviera Maya. Spanning 223 acres and set within 717 acres of tropical rainforest, this course was designed by Robert Trent Jones II, who is well known for applying environmental sensibility with the latest technology.

There are so few beachfront studios in the area with ocean views, especially on such a beautiful beach. Studio 001 truly is a hidden gem!
