Yool Caanal Unit 3 [1]
Beautiful and Relaxing
Reviewed on 2026-03-10 by , Ida, MI USThe view from the deck was very beautiful. We much enjoyed sitting out in the mornings and evenings, watching the water through the palm trees blowing with the breezes. Midday was pretty sunny and warm, but lounging on the chairs down on the beach was quite refreshing. And the northern location helped keep most of the sargasso away; it was still there, but nothing like what we saw further south. <br/>The place itself was just a little worn around the edges, but perfect for our needs: a/c and fans in the bedrooms were very helpful at night, comfortable couch for resting, functional refrigerator/freezer, coffee-maker, microwave, etc.<br/>The shower space was a bit small, which was fine for us but might have been a bit awkward if anyone else was staying with us. And as another guest mentioned, the deck *is* shared with the unit next door, with just a couple mid-height plants dividing the space (not entirely clear in the photos/description). This ended up to not be a problem for us, just something to be aware of.<br/>All-in-all, we had a wonderfully enjoyable and relaxing stay.

Reviewed on 2026-03-04 by Cynthia P. , Wheat Ridge, CO United StatesBeautiful two-bedroom with proximity to Akumal restaurants and bodegas, but plenty of privacy. We fell asleep listening to the waves and woke up to enjoy our morning coffee on the patio. Responsive and helpful staff. We'll definitely return.

Simply Relaxing
Reviewed on 2026-01-28 by Marco I. , Vancouver, BC CAThe unit is as depicted and described. It has all the quality comforts you need to cook with gas stove and new appliances and to chill out on very comfortable deck chairs. The beach is right there and pretty much semi private with comfortable beach chairs and shade if you need it. The on site staff are wonderful and the management is very quick to reply to any queries or unexpected issues. Lots of windows (with screens) from and back guarantee lots of ventilation with the ocean breeze but each room has efficient and quiet AC. Tall hedging provides privacy from neighboring buildings.

Beautiful rental, wonderful view
Reviewed on 2024-12-14 by , Santa Elena, YUC MexicoThe bay is beautiful, no matter the weather. And it is easy to walk around the small neighborhood leading to Yalku cenote. The street is kept quite clean of all debris, mostly tree leaves,etc, and it is easy walking.
The overall experience was as pleasant as always, what we have come to expect from Akumal Direct, and I am sure we will rent again in future,
We had no direct contact with the management, either at checkin, or checkkout, so that I cannot attest to, however Marcia responded well to my emails, and the staff were fine (we speak Spanish, which helps).
Overall, Akumal is still one of the best, most secure places to stay on the whole coastline, in my opinion, and we will continue to come.
This is one of the nicest rentals we have had along Half Moon Bay, and we have stayed at many over many years.<br/>The bay is beautiful, no matter the weather.

The place itself was just a little worn around the edges, but perfect for our needs: a/c and fans in the bedrooms were very helpful at night, comfortable couch for resting, functional refrigerator/freezer, coffee-maker, microwave, etc.
