About this property

Oceanfront Condo with Artful Décor, Pool & Balconies

Playa Caribe 6 is a second-floor beachfront condo on the southern tower of Half Moon Bay, designed for families, couples, and friends who appreciate color and character. The Master Suite includes a king bed, tiled bath, and private balcony. The guest bedroom has two double beds with handwoven spreads and its own bath. Both bedrooms and living areas are cooled by central AC.

The living and dining areas are decorated with tropical fabrics and original artwork from local artists, while the kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances. The open layout flows naturally to an oceanfront terrace where guests can dine, relax, or watch the turquoise waves. At the back, two private balconies overlook the jungle—one with a BBQ, the other set with a table for morning coffee.

Guests enjoy daily housekeeping, beach towels, purified water, parking, and 24-hour security. Shared amenities include a pool, loungers, and outdoor shower. The condo balances privacy with comfort, making it an excellent choice for groups of six.

Half Moon Bay is known for its blend of soft sand and coral rock, creating a unique shoreline with great snorkeling. Yal Ku Lagoon, Akumal Bay, restaurants, and shops are all within walking distance. A rental car or private driver is recommended for exploring ruins, cenotes, and nearby towns. Playa Caribe is one of Akumal’s most respected beachfront properties, known for its excellent service.

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!

Wonderful Condo, Great Location

Loved everything about the condo and especially enjoyed and appreciated the local art. The location can’t be beat for view - couldn’t be any closer to the ocean without being on a ship. Once we wandered a bit, we decided we had the best location in Half Moon Bay.

Wonderful stay in Akumul!

This property is lovely! We stayed here in January, 2022 with our daughter and son in law. This 2nd floor condo is spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and the view of Half Moon Bay is priceless. The pool and ocean were just steps away and La Buena Vista restaurant and a small grocery store are just down the street Everything was perfect and we would stay here again

Quiet and Relaxing

We stayed at Myrna's condo for one week and loved it. Perfect location for a quiet, relaxing vacation, and the place is larger than the photos portray. Loved the opportunity to snorkel anytime we wanted (the beach is rocky so bring water shoes). Pool and purified water is a nice touch. Akumal beach is crowded with all inclusive resorts/tourists; half moon bay is quiet, relaxing, chill. Loved it and plan to return ASAP

Amazing Christmas Vacation

We had a fantastic visit to this property Dec 2022. The location is unbeatable, the snorkeling top notch, and the neighborhood charming!! The condo was perfect for my family with 2 teens!! Everything was just as expected and we loved every minute. We rented a car, but really didn’t need it. The bikes were perfect for getting all around the area. We hope to head back again in the future. There is still so much to explore!!!

Wonderful relaxing trip

My husband and I loved this property. Just darling, lots of space, a full kitchen (not used by me)!! and lovely Mexican artwork. Akumal is a great small quiet town where you do not need a car to get around. Bikes, walking and golf cart rental seem to work best. No large Hotels, just a small quiet community with lovely restaurants and a nice place to relax. We had beautiful weather, lovely calm ocean for snorkeling right out our door and delightful restaurants within minutes of beach walking from the condo. Would highly recommend and we shall be back!

There were lots of extra touches like a fresh pineapple and bananas when we arrived, games in the cabinet and beach chairs. The kitchen had everything we needed. We snorkeled in the bay right outside the condo and saw beautiful fish. I would definitely recommend to others.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: Beautiful apartment, with fantastic views and superb location on the beach. The resort was very quiet, we rented in August so this could be off season? There was no concierge to ask for information on things to do etc. We had the bay virtually to ourselves for the reef snorkelling. Lots of reviews for this area mention the seaweed but we didn't have any issue. There was a security guard there at night so property felt safe. The apartment is beautifully decorated and very spacious. My teenage children shared the twim room and the beds were enormous! It is 20 minutes from the ruins of Tulum by car.

Great Stay in Akumal

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a wonderful stay! All our interactions were wonderful and everyone was so accomodating. We traveled with a large group and David with Akumal Direct was a wonderful help with arranging transportation for all our group even though some were staying at other condos. The team at Playa Caribe from the office, security, housekeeping and clean up crew were all excellent. We really enjoyed the fresh fruit that got brought to us daily. Our one complaint on this trip would be the rocks and seaweed at the beach. This is obviously uncontrollable by Playa Caribe and we knew this was going to be a thing which makes it excellent to have a pool. Bring water shoes if you plan to go in the ocean. The views and cleanliness of this location can not be beat.

Beware of Sargassum

This condo looked just like the pictures in terms of the building and the inside of the unit though the unit had a bit of a damp, musty smell and the floors always felt wet. The people running the property were very friendly and available to answer any of our questions we had and provide assistance at a moment's notice when needed. The woman who cleaned our unit everyday did an impeccable job which was a good thing because even if there was just a crumb of food somewhere in the kitchen there would be a trail of tiny ants that would find their way to it. Unfortunately, the sargassum has completely taken over the beach and sea in most of Half Moon Bay and especially around Playa Caribe. The main reason I booked this specific condo was to spend the week with a beach right outside of the condo. Instead we had to find cenotes and other places to swim but at least we had a car. Beware that the beach down the road is $6US per person and if you want to drive the mile to it that is another $5. It also wasn't very pleasant to just hang out by the pool because once it sits for a while the sargassum produces a sulfer (rotten egg) smell. Personally, I think that this place was overpriced given the awful condition of the beach. I know that this isn't anything that anyone has control over and we made the most of it but I will not be returning and want others to be aware.

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: Playa Caribe #6 has gorgeous, unending views of sea, sky, and pool. You could watch sunrises and sunsets from your balcony. The balcony is large and equipped with a table and four chairs plus a comfy rocker.The unit is decorated with the most wonderful, Mexican folk art that I have ever seen, and I’ve visited this area seven times. The furniture was clean, comfortable, and in very good shape. There was some real thoughtful decorating going on here from the art, to the bedspreads, to the pillows. A very welcoming unit.The grounds and pool were kept up nicely. Some days there were quite a few people at the pool and other days we had it to ourselves. Never a problem. We also had a few days of sargassum, but we still had days we were still able to swim in the ocean and walk on the beach. The beach is not wide and it is very rocky when entering the ocean. Housekeeping is excellent and friendly. Office staff is often not available, but if you are patient, you will find someone eventually that can help you. Our power and water went out a few times due to nearby construction, but was restored within a reasonable amount of time.The location was excellent. We were able to walk easily to Yal Ku lagoon, several local shops, restaurants and into town. There’s also a nice parking lot if you rent a car.Price for value is excellent. Highly recommended.

Playa Caribe #6 in Akumal was Fantastic!

We stayed at Playa Caribe #6 from October 16-22, 2019. When looking for our trip, we were waffling between a few of the condos available at Playa Caribe (e.g., do we want to be a floor higher, a balcony that is just a titch closer to the ocean, etc.). We were really attracted to the layout of #6, the art as well as the white backdrop and all of the traditional, colourful Mexican decor. It was, exactly as described and absolutely lovely. Myrna Sparks, the owner was very helpful. She made sure that we knew where everything was in the condo, provided us with an information package on where to eat and things to do in and around Akumal. My husband had several conversations prior to our vacation, which was really appreciated. Myrna asked Augustin the property manager to have Israel pick us up at the airport and we knew before we left where we could stop on the way to Akumal to buy groceries for the week - we stopped at the Solinaro (sp) in Playa del Carmen. It is a huge grocery store that had everything and more that we could possibly want. We were well stocked. Just after we settled in Patricia came bustling in with her arms full of goodies for us, which we enjoyed throughout the week - also very appreciated. Patricia came every day to clean our condo and was a fantastic resource for us. Augustin also arranged bicycles for us to rent for the week and helped us whenever we wanted to go somewhere. Everyone was always very cheery. We spent a lot of time at the pool, the beach and also in the water. We snorkeled and visited the magnificent sea turtles. One morning, 4 condos down, the gardener called two of the certified turtle rescuers who live in a condo on Half Moon Bay to come and rescue baby green sea turtles that were hatching, but being attacked and eaten by racoons and signets. They rescued 23 baby sea turtles that they returned to the ocean later in the evening. Seeing that was so exciting. We had a wonderful relaxing holiday and loved staying at Play Caribe #6 - thanks to Myrna Sparks, Augustin, Patricia and Israel!
