June in Akumal

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was hot and humid but our local manager really took good care of us. There was a huge amount of seaweed so our manager moved us up the coast a few blocks where there was no seaweed. He took care of our rental and everything.

Penthouse perfection

Despite the sargassum we really enjoyed our time in half moon bay. The snorkeling was spectacular we even saw a reef shark. Weather was hot with a warm breeze and the nearby restaurants were excellent. We enjoyed having the privacy of our balcony and the water service was a nice addition. Staff was very friendly. Wish we had more beach and hope that there is a solution to the sargassum.

Thank you for your thoughtful comments about your visit to Akumal. We sure appreciate your visit. It is wonderful that you found snorkeling just offshore was awesome! Most likely, you saw a nurse shark on the reef. They are harmless and beautiful. The sargassum has been unpredictable this year. We are thankful you enjoyed your stay, Scott. We hope you will visit us again in the future. Happy travels always, Akumal Direct

They were helpful with the booking and planning our trip process. Check in was smooth and the views were even better in person. Location was just what we wanted- quiet with access.

Nothing short of amazing!

Where to start, I’ve been traveling for some years now and that was hands down the most beautiful, private, unique rental I’ve ever had. If I’m ever back in the area I would definitely rent it again. From the views of the ocean/jungle to the multitude of the stars! An absolute dream vacation stay. I wish I would have rented more time here then where we stayed in playa del Carmen. Thank you for making the birthday stay Perfect.

Fantastic view of HMB

Condo is cozy with awesome views! Very clean when we arrived and maid cleaned every day during our stay. We like the penthouse for the views and steps to the 4th floor did not bother us. We never needed the AC due to the great Carribean breezes. Property is well maintained and very clean. Drinking water is provided. We have stayed here before and love it for the view and price.

Thanks for taking the time to comment about your stay at La Bahia condos, Unit 7, Barbara. We are pleased that you enjoyed the view of the Caribbean and the sea breeze. The staff does their best to remove any seagrass that washes into shore overnight. Half Moon Bay is a beautiful sandy beach with a slightly rocky water entrance. Water shoes are recommended for entering the water and snorkeling. We do not advertise an elevator or swimming pool. We are glad that you were able to relax during your stay!

3rd floor Beach Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice condo for a couple. It’s a 2 bedroom but overall not a lot of space for more than 2 people. Nice deck on beach side to watch the sunrise and back deck overlooking the jungle for sunsets or people watching on the street below. I should have mentioned to maintenance that the windows leaked when we had hard rainstorms. It really wasn’t a problem for us because we were always supplied with plenty of beach towels.

Breath taking view!!!

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: This cosy condo was well maintained, clean and in a spectacular location. The building is surrounded by flowers, and beautiful beach! Amazing snorkeling in half moon bay - you could get into the water right from the beach in front of the condo. There are restaurants within walking distance. The condo is on the top floor, with quite a few stairs to get to - in case that is an issue for you, chose a lower unit in the same building. However, if you can do steps, being on the top floor allowed for an unimpeded view of the beach, and ocean, and it felt nice and private as well. We would 100% be delighted to stay here again.
