This condo is a center ground-floor unit with a large beachfront patio and amazing views of Half Moon Bay.

Elegant and relaxed, Playa Caribe offers guests a great central location on Half Moon Bay, within walking distance to Akumal Bay and Yal-Lu Lagoon. The snorkeling is excellent right out the door. You can also choose to spend your time relaxing in the beach side swimming pool. Tastefully designed and decorated, Playa Caribe Condominiums are a delightful destination.

Playa Caribe has a total of 12 condominium units over four floors centered off of a tropical atrium that extends the full height of the building. All units have very well appointed kitchens, living and dining area with ocean view, ocean-side terrace, and are supplied with purified bottled water.

Relax under a palapa or take a refreshing swim in the pool. Playa Caribe #2 may almost be too enjoyable to leave!

KINDLY NOTE: South winds may bring Sargasso Seaweed to some beaches throughout the Caribbean, including the Rivera Maya. While the situation is hard to predict for each specific week and area, we would like you to be aware as there is the potential to impact the beach and water entry.

The Riviera Maya is full of natural beauty, places to explore and opportunities for outdoor activities. We have a great list of activities and adventures completely unaffected by the arrival of sargasso that we would love to share with you. There is so much to see and do in this special place, we know that you will have an amazing and memorable vacation!

Amazing Time

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. The condo was perfect. Its is in a great location, right on the beach. There are also several restaurants in the area, that we highly recommend. David and everyone at Akumal Direct were amazing. They were able to help with excursions but also with just simple questions we had about the area. If you dont rent a car, have David help rent a golf cart. It's perfect for getting around. We also suggest you get some Pecos or smaller bills for tipping before getting to the area. We HIGHLY recommend Akumal Direct.

BEAUTIFUL!!

Pictures do not do this apartment justice. After staying for a few nights we were dreaming of what it would be like to own our own place just like this in half moon bay. Communication from the host was excellent. Response time was within a few minutes for anything we could have needed. There was only one hiccup with the host confirming we would have a travel crib upon arrival but we weren't able to get it until the next day. It didn't even matter that we didn't have the crib the first night as there was enough space for all of us to sleep and live comfortably. We loved being on the ground floor with easy access to the pool and beach. We cooked all meals at home and used the grill our last night to make a delicious surf and turf meal. The location couldn't be any better. So close to Yal Kul and beautiful reefs available to explore right off the beach. The extra sand toys available made it easy for our youngest to stay busy on the beach. We absolutely loved our stay and hope to come back soon.

LACK OF DISCLOSURE

Entering the condo we were overcome by a strong smell of mildew. After opening the doors, it remained strong, and my friend got an upper respiratory infection overnight. Both bathrooms had two steep steps to access, none of which were noted in the rental description. Also the 2 bathrooms featured showers w/steep steps down to access. No grab-bars to assist in/out of shower and slick when wet. This rental is NOT appropriate for those w/mobility issues or children. Akumal Direct, moved us to another unit for a few nights while deep cleaning the original rental. They were unable to find another ground-floor unit for us to rent being high season so we moved back into the unit with the hazardous showers that my friend could not access. The property manager and housekeepers we pleasant and accommodating, but Akumal Direct didn’t seem too concerned with addressing our issues and rectifying the situation. Lastly, the unit is steps from the pool which is available to all staying at Playa Caribe so be prepared for people walking across the porch to access the pool and lots of people/children within earshot. Lessons learned: DO NOT rent a non-refundable unit and ASK if it is safe for older travelers. While Akumal Direct claimed the bathrooms were clearly depicted in the rental description, THEY WERE NOT.

HAZARDOUS STAY

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: LACK OF DISCLOSURE. When we entered the condo we were overcome by the strong smell of mildew. Thinking it would subside by opening the doors, it remained strong, resulting in my companion contracting an upper respiratory infection overnight. We also discovered the two bathrooms featured tile showers with steep steps down to access. There were no grab-bars to assist one in or out of the shower and the tile becomes quite slicK. The bathroom door in one bath opened right up into the deep-dropped shower presenting a serious fall hazard. Both bathrooms also have two steep steps to access, none of which were noted in the rental description. This rental should NOT be considered if the renter has mobility issues or children. The property management company, Akumal Direct, arranged for a transfer for a few nights to another unit while working with the property to remove all the linens that were mildewed and deep clean the unit. They were unable to find another unit for us to move into due to being high season. Because the rental fee was nonrefundable and Akumal Direct was unable to find any other option in Akumal, we were required to move back into the unit with the hazardous showers that my companion could not access. The property manager and housekeepers were mindful and did everything they could to make our stay pleasant, but Akumal Direct didn’t seem too concerned with addressing our issues and rectifying the situation. And lastly, the unit is steps from the pool which is available to all tenets staying at Playa Caribe so be prepared for lots of people walking across your porch to access the pool and lots of people/children within earshot. Another aspect of this unit that was not included in the description. Lessons learned: DO NOT rent a non-refundable unit and ASK if it is safe for older travelers. While Akumal Direct claimed the bathrooms were clearly depicted in the rental description, they were not.
