Great clean beautiful condo, our host was more than helpful with all that we needed and great on communication.
Only downside is the seaweed on the beach which is the case for alot of Akumal Playa beaches from what I saw and was told about.

The studio condo was perfect for my week on the beach. Just steps away from the water, and a nice view from the window. Renting a bike made it easy to get into town and around Akumal. David was great, answering all my questions and set up an in room massage and covid test for me. I hope to be able to book again next year!

It’s a studio room that easily sleeps 4. There’s not much “hangout” space—no patio or balcony, but the location is amazing and the beach proximity was great. Wish the window that looked out in the ocean had been cleaned. It was so dirty we could really see out if it. Basically, this is a no frills place but served us well and the service by the management company was great.

Thank you for your feedback, Elizabeth. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the location and proximity to the beach, as well as the service provided by the management team :)
We understand your concern about the window's cleanliness. The window outside the studio tends to get dirty quickly due to the high concentration of sea salt in the air. This is a common issue in coastal areas, where salt from the ocean is carried by the wind and settles on surfaces, including windows, leaving a residue that can obstruct the view.
We'll make sure to address this issue more proactively in the future to ensure our guests can fully enjoy the ocean view.
Thank you for choosing Playa Blanca 10 for your Akumal vacation and hope you will be back soon!

My wife and I stayed for 3 nights, and it was perfect for us. The attention to detail was a step above any other property we’ve rented in our 17 years visiting akumal. The quality of all the amenities was top notch. Communications with the hosts were great. We will definitely stay again when it’s just the 2 of us

Loved this rental property. Fantastic beach and palm tree view from the window, bright and sunny with windows on three sides, excellent cross breeze, and everything needed in the kitchen to cook meals. The king bed was super comfy. It is a safe, quiet, and clean accommodation close to restaurants. 15-minute walk to town.

My wife and I were visiting Playa Blanca to celebrate a friends birthday. Our friends were staying in a complex next door, so this property was a perfect location for us. Besides being close to our group of friends, the condo met all of our needs for a relaxing place retreat too. At night, the area was quiet and the bed provided a comfortable night of sleep. During the day, there was a small grocery store nearby and two restaurants within a short walk. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Playa Blanca Condo.

We enjoyed our stay in this rental unit. The unit is clean and cute and budget friendly. The unit was well supplied and management was very quick to respond to any requests. They were extremely helpful with navigating the area, excursions and even a medical issue. For us, the only limitation was lack of outdoor space as there is no terrace, but this is reflected in the price which is very good for the area and the beach is supplied with tables and loungers which are only steps away from the unit.

Totally awesome. We rented two properties with different management and were so pleased that both managers checked in with us many times. They solved problems (malfunctioning air conditioner, keys locked in the condo late at night) and gave great recommendations for activities and private tours. Thank you Adrian and Scott! I just looked to see if when these properties are available next year.

This is our second stay at this beautiful studio suite. We will return again and again as the unit is super quiet, has a lovely view of the ocean, has a fabulous housekeeper, the bed is super comfortable, and Akumal Direct is very accommodating to ensure we are taken care of.We rent bicycles to ride down the road to town for dinner, and also a great happy hour down the street. The snorkeling off the beach is incredible. The area is so quiet with condos so there is no loud music to disturb your sleep. This is not a nightlife location, snorkeling during the day, and a dinner out is what a vacation here entails :)

I loved the studio condo on the water. I only had to walk several steps to get to the beach and palapa area. The unit, as well as the beach were well maintained. I snorkeled daily, right from the condo. Half Moon Bay is faily shallow, so I could go out quite far. Although, I did not see any turtles in this area, I did see stingrays, beautiful fish and coral. The location is pefect. I could walk to all places in Akumal, including Akumal Pueblo. The restaurants were fabulous and not pricy. Finally, I felt competely safe at all times. I definitely would come back.

We appreciate you review and recommendation of Playa Blanca 10. Please let us know when you're ready to visit Riviera Maya again and we'll gladly help you plan another beautiful stay.
This area and main building are nice, and right on the beach, but this unit is on the second floor of a small separate building out front with no outdoor sitting space at all. You can easily walk over to the beach in front of the main building, but it feels like you are intruding on the outdoor space right in front of the main building units patio doors more than a common space for the complex. The king bed was so hard that after the first night my wife ended up sleeping in a separate small pullout bed at the other end of the room. Overall this room was more like a kitchenette motel room than a VRBO and a disappointment. Also note that this place does not have a pool. That's easy to miss when booking online as many similar units in the area do have pools.
Playa Blanca was everything we needed! It was very clean, comfortable, location was perfect.
Will definitely return, we loved everything about it. Grounds very well maintained, beautiful beach.
