About this property

Great Value on the Beach! Cheerful and comfy third level condo with big views

Wake up to the Caribbean just outside your window at La Bahia 5, a comfortable two-bedroom, two-bathroom beachfront condo overlooking Half Moon Bay in Akumal.

Located on the third floor, the condo enjoys elevated views across the bay and a furnished oceanfront terrace where you can start the morning with coffee, relax with a book in the afternoon, or simply sit back and enjoy the colors of the Caribbean.

Inside, the open living and dining area faces the water and creates a comfortable gathering space for couples, friends, or a small family. Ceiling fans keep air moving through the main living spaces, while both bedrooms are air-conditioned.

The fully equipped kitchen gives you everything needed for meals at home, including a refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, cookware, utensils, purified drinking water, and purified ice.

Both bedrooms have private en suite bathrooms. The primary bedroom is furnished with a king bed. The second bedroom offers a flexible setup and can be prepared with either one king bed or two single beds.

WiFi, Smart TV, linens, beach towels, shampoo and bath soap, a hair dryer, and an in-unit washer and dryer add the practical comforts needed for an easy vacation.

One of La Bahia 5's biggest advantages is what waits just downstairs. The property sits directly on Half Moon Bay, where you can relax beneath the beach palapas, swim in the Caribbean, or snorkel in the bay. The natural reef and rocky areas make water shoes a useful addition to your beach bag.

LOCATION

La Bahia is located directly on Half Moon Bay in Akumal, a relaxed beachfront community known for snorkeling and beautiful Caribbean views.

Restaurants are within walking distance, and Yal-Ku Lagoon is nearby. Akumal Bay, local markets, dive shops, restaurants, and other community amenities are also within easy reach.

Akumal's central Riviera Maya location makes La Bahia 5 a convenient base for days spent exploring cenotes, Maya archaeological sites, beaches, nature parks, and the many attractions between Playa del Carmen and Tulum.

Much Needed Alone Time

This property is beautiful and perfectly located. Safe and quiet area. More than a couple restaurants within walking distance. For lazy days, the view was perfect. Golf cart rentals readily accessible. Highly recommend this property. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.

Stunning views from different angles

Nice condo with an awesome view of the ocean from the balcony. We sat out there for hours on end. Great location in Akumal close to lots of restaurants & small shops. We truly enjoyed our stay. There are no stairs & work being done on other units but overall a great place to stay, we’d definitely return.

Cute condo with incredible view

The owners were great at communicating prior to our stay. The place was darling, clean and really well equipped. The location is perfect. It is in the middle of beautiful half moon bay with a snorkeling park around the corner. The whole area has been struggling with the sargasso grass. There was a lot of it in the beach, but there were many people working on removing it. We still were able to access the bay and we had plenty of things to do when we were there. Akumal is one of the loveliest places I have ever experienced

stay at La Bahia Akumal

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very nice location with great views and very clean and well maintained condo. There were several good restaurants close by and Akumal beach was in easy walking distance. Half moon bay was excellent for snorkeling. Overall a great trip for us.The only real issue was the sargassum seaweed on the beach property. Also the maintenance people did not attempt to remove it rather they we're spraying it with some substance.

Hi Jame, Thank you for your review and recommendation for La Bahia. Unfortunately during high sargassum season it futile to attempt manual removal but the spray is a biodegradable solution to keep the sulfuric scent under control. Please, let us know when you're ready to visit Akumal again and we'll gladly help you plan another great vacation.

Solid stay for relaxing couples or small families

My girlfriend and I stayed here a few days during the week we were in Mexico. PROS: -The community appears to primarily consist of either retirees and/or those with vacation properties. At any rate, the area is quiet and relaxing - just what we were looking for. -There's a solid amount of security and servicemen/women, and the check-in process was seamless. We were supposed to check-in at 3pm, but didn't get there until around 8. The property manager was so nice, verified my identity, threw us the keys, and just told us to formally check-in in the morning. -The balcony view was beautiful, the inside was well-kept, the A/C worked just fine, bed was comfortable (we didn't try the guest bedroom), and the showers worked great. -There are restaurants on the premise that allow for quick or sit-down/romantic meals. Thus, versatile for if you want to stay on the property or explore. CONS: Only con is there were ants near the entrance. But this was a mild issue once we realized there was ant spray under the kitchen sink. Quick fix, and the only nit picky thing I can think of. TAKEAWAYS: Stay here if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle. Absolutely perfect for relaxing couples or a family of up to 4-5. Do NOT stay here if you're a partier and looking for a consistent resort-style/Tulum nightlife as the clubs either way are at least a 45 min drive. All in all, highly recommended! Thanks for the great stay.

Peaceful Relaxing Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time renting La Bahia #5. It was clean, pretty well stocked and most of all had the perfect views! We could hear the waves from our place all night. Also, the front desk folks helped us with everything we needed. This is a very laid back place where you can just come and not be distracted by crowds of tourists rushing to get to their next excursion. We rented bikes for the week. When we had a health emergency, the staff was right there to do whatever they needed to get the help right away. Also loved the maid service every other day. We will be back. Only issue was this is on the third floor. Great for the view, hard on the knees if you have issues.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our condo! It was right on the beach as described. Only problem was the sea grass. Nobody’s fault, but we couldn’t get in the water. The guys worked tirelessly everyday trying to remove it.The guys in the office were super helpful...especially Adrian. He was so helpful and a wealth of knowledge.The restaurants on both sides (very close) we’re amazing! We visited both frequently.We were able to relax and just have a chill vacation.

Everything you're looking for!

This review is more than long over due! We broke up our trip between Tulum and Akumal. For the second half of our trip, this certianly didn't disappoint! If you've gotten a chance to watch Mexico Life, and saw this property, you know what you're getting. You truly can't top this balcony view! We're a family of 4, 2 adults, 2 kids (10 & 13 at the time). Our girls loved snorkeling in Half Moon Bay! They saw everything but turtles. The bay extends hundreds of yards from the shoreline and is very shallow in most spots. My worry before heading down was the current. With the barrier reef, it wasn't anything to worry about. We had a chance to see tangs, wrasses, cow fish, octopi, shrimp, just steps from your place! We didn't see turtles in HMB, but you can head over to Akumal Bay and get a guide. It was wonderful. The staff on site were friendly, and answered all my questions! They worked tirelessly to clear out the saragassum that was headed our way. The night life isn't crazy, but with 2 kids, that wasn't what we were looking for. I would recommend this place to anyone! You're not too far from the Tulum Ruins, or a number of cenotes along the highway. I would recommend the fish tacos at La Buena Vida! Tell 'em, Nick sent ya! That doesn't mean anything to them, but a WHOLE lot to me. :) The monkey Sanctuary was a wonderful experience and it's just a few miles from your place. Ya Kul, is within walking distance from your place. A bottle of wine is the perfect end of your evening on this balcony with the moon over the bay and the warm breeze hitting your face. I hope you get a chance to enjoy this place as much as my family and I did! I'm trying to talk my wife into coming back here. We'll see... Anyone considering this place w/ poor knees, you'll be climbing 3 flights of stairs as they don't have an elevator. It's not for everyone, for perfect for most. Cheers!

Nick, What a great review - thank you! It warms our hearts to hear that you fell in love with La Bahia and Akumal! For future trips - we just want to make sure you realize it is not necessary to have a guide in Akumal Bay - some of the guides there make it seem like it is. Now that you know where to find them you'll be free to enjoy snorkeling in the bay at anytime with no cost to you. One of the great things about the stairs at La Bahia is all the landings breaking up the steps, and the open walls bringing in the fresh air and view - very distracting and a great way to enjoy heading up to the upper floors for that amazing view! If you ever need a building with an elevator - there are now 3 in Akumal, just let us know and we can help you with a reservation there too. We know from La Bahia 5 that you enjoyed watching the pelicans flying down to eat breakfast -and next time - keep your eye out for turtles surfacing in the bay - and, while you can see them from the beach, it is much easier to see from higher up! We would love to have you be our guests on your future trips down - La Bahia 5 and Akumal are a good habits to have! Lisa Caribbean Fantasy, Inc. Leasing Agent - La Bahia 5
