We loved our stay and hope to return. The condo is beautiful and spacious. The rooms and beds were comfortable. Pro tip: The router’s WiFi signal was really weak and wouldn’t reach the 2nd BR, 3rd BR, or roof deck. Next time, I’d pack our router (especially for the roof deck). During our stay, the property was generally quiet and the guests were either retirees or young families.

We really liked the location, which was within easy walking distance of two mini markets (one directly across the street) and multiple restaurants. I never heard any noise from those nearby restaurants, which was great. We rented a car, and parking at the building was never a problem. Taxis are readily available, but they’re way more expensive than I would’ve thought. We were charged $12 for a ride from Akumal Dive Shop to the condo, which is only about 1 km away. One downside of the location for us is that there isn’t a major grocery store nearby, so we ate out for just about every meal. They did recommend a grocery delivery service, but because items and branding are different in Mexico, we wouldn’t have known where to begin with many items.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The housekeepers were lovely, we worked with the concierge (David) to schedule an in-home chef, rent a golf cart, and inquire about other things; he was very responsive and helpful.

We had an amazing time in Akumal and our condo was a large part of that. We have 7 adults in our family and everyone had a bed and lots of room to spread out. The rooftop was amazing! We highly recommend the Jungla Cafe for coffee. We ate breakfast at Turtle Bay and dinner at La Bueno Vida. The kids spent $30 to swim with the turtles and they felt it was worth it on Akumal Bay.

The condo sits in the middle of Half Moon Bay in Akamal that has amazing snorkeling just off the beach in the back yard! The condo and roof top patio are fantastic so there is no reason to leave!

Nikte 7 was a very comfortable, well-designed space with a fantastic view. Management and staff kept the condo and grounds clean. We rented a golf cart from the management company easily. There was snorkeling equipment at the condo that we enjoyed using. Our only complaint was that the elevator was out of service often—enough that we didn’t feel comfortable taking it when it was working. A warning about this would have been helpful, as we had two elderly guests in our party who sometimes had difficulty walking up 4 flights of stairs. Future guests should also know that although we asked two different people for the jacuzzi to be filled up, it never was. It was also dirty.

Beautiful and spacious condo right on the water. Housekeeping staff kept our place super clean. Loved the top floor for star gazing and privacy. Akumal beach was full of sargassum so we didn’t really have a beach experience but the bay was beautiful and up on the top floor we weren’t really bothered by the sargassum. Pool was nice, cool and refreshing. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

This condo does not disappoint!! Spacious, clean and beautifully decorated and the VIEW spectacular! Our group of 6 were wowed the minute we walked in the door. The rooftop deck is definitely an extra special bonus!
From the booking to our check out, the property management provided great customer service. The overall property is very well maintained and the maintenance guys were always willing to lend a hand with bringing up groceries, suitcases etc.

2000 characters is not enough to describe how fantastic this condo is. where to start? steps to the pool and then steps to the ocean. We never had to fight for beach chairs. the entry to the ocean is rocky - just know before you go. Having said that, if you walk to the first palapa north of the condo and enter from there, the rocks are larger and smoother. Also, you can see all the sand bars which are easy to reach - the ocean is fairly shallow for quite a distance. Despite the rocky entry, we spent more time in the ocean than we have in a long time. The condo has 2 paddle boards and a kayak. Don't you hate it when you rent a place and there are no seasonings and the entire place is stripped bare of essentials? Not this place - plenty of seasonings, coffee and if a prior guest left food that had not been opened, it remained (such as frozen tortillas, frozen chicken strips, etc.). this was a plus - why throw out unopened preserved food? The condo - wow! very spacious. Hot water was plentiful. The management company was across the street and very accommodating. The maid came daily but if you don't need her every day, just make arrangements. Please don't forget to tip her - she works hard. The master BR faces the ocean with the 2 spares facing the jungle. comfortable beds. Wi-Fi- I saw prior complaints. I think there has been an upgrade since as it was 5G and reached to the beach. NO issues with Wi Fi. yetis, coolers, plenty of beach towels, w/d, iron, ironing board, steamer, safe, books, games, umbrella for the beach. Large oceanside balcony accessible from LR and Master BR. Only 1 tv - but who cares - you aren't there to watch tv. Private roof top is fantastic. There is an elevator to the unit - great for my elderly mother in law. My only complaint - and it is minor - we were told it was not cold enough for water in the hot tub. It was first week of February - it was "cold" enough at night and we would have enjoyed its use. Minor quibble.

This condo was everything promised and more. The views are incredible, it was clean, comfortable and supplied everything we needed. The bonus was the rooftop lounge which wasn’t apparent from the photos but it was incredible - we hung out there often including for the sunset over the jungle and watching the stars. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend!
