About this property

Ground-Floor Beachfront Condo with Pool, Patio & Concierge

Playa Caribe 3 combines comfort, style, and an unbeatable beachfront location in Half Moon Bay. Situated on the southern wing of the building, this ground-floor condo opens onto a furnished terrace with loungers, BBQ grill, and direct pool access—framed by sweeping Caribbean views.

Inside, the Master Bedroom offers a king bed with an ensuite bath, while the guest suite includes two queens and its bathroom. With space for six guests, the condo is ideally suited for couples traveling together, families, or groups of friends. All bedrooms and the living/dining areas are cooled by central AC.

The fully equipped kitchen features an electric stove, full refrigerator, and a breakfast bar that overlooks the turquoise bay—perfect for morning coffee or preparing snacks. The open-concept design creates a relaxed flow from kitchen to dining to living spaces, leading naturally out to the terrace.

Guests enjoy daily housekeeping, beach towels, purified water, parking, and onsite concierge service. Whether you want airport transfers, grocery delivery, or guided excursions, the staff makes your stay seamless.

Located in Akumal’s secure gated Half Moon Bay, the condo is walking distance from Yal Ku Lagoon, Akumal Bay, shops, and restaurants. The shoreline mixes soft sand with coral rocks, excellent for snorkeling—water shoes recommended. While walking and taxis cover local needs, a rental car or private driver is suggested for exploring cenotes, Mayan ruins, or nearby Riviera Maya towns. Playa Caribe is one of the area’s original beachfront condominiums, known for service and comfort.

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!

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 is a quaint little property with a nice pool and small beach. Adelah and Augustin will take good care of you. If Akumal prices continue to rise we will not be able to afford it after 18 years of vacationing there.

It felt like renting a house looking the ocean

We had a great time at Playa Caribe. This unit is next to the pool on the ground, it was like having a house for ourselves. We had cleaning service every day, the people at the condo were very nice. We could walk to a small general store, and went to the Akumal beach that was free of sargasso. Short drive to Tulúm and the cenotes. Great stay!

Great spot, wonderful management

This was a lovely and easy place to stay. Everyone who works here is so helpful - the view is beautiful. The pool is great. It can get a little crowded, but all the guests were polite and easy to share space with. We woke to beautiful sunrises every morning. Unfortunately, the sargassum was bad while we were there, but we spent a lot of time at the lagoon and other beaches. This is a definite return to place for us!

The site felt very safe with friendly staff always willing to assist. Many of the other guests we met were returning visitors to the property and we hope to one day return. We had a great trip!

10 Days in Akumal

A great spot for 4. We went with another couple and the place was perfect. Right by the pool, which is right by the beach which is right next to the road that takes you wherever you want - including our favourite hang out: La Buena Vida which was a short walk and stumble home. House keeping services as much or as little as you like and the concierge will arrange anything. I’d highly recommend.

Great stay

We stayed for 6 nights with age ranges from 1- 65. Easy access to the beach and pool was amazing. Great food options nearby. Very sleepy town but easy access to snorkeling. It was spotless cleaned everyday. There was light cut for a day which was challenging esp with the kids. Light cut also meant no water no cooking no cellphone service too. We had to emergency evacuate as with kids it was hard to survive. Unfortunately there was no communication from the manager too which bummed our whole trip.

We did share with friends, so I did find the shutters enclosing the main bedroom a little too exposed for my preference. But the entire suite was extremely clean, comfortable beds, lots of nice towels and a great blender in the kitchen. I recommend the grocery service. The pool was a nice touch- and clean. We would recommend!

It was clean, well maintained, the beds were comfortable. It however, has it's door to the beach directly in front of the other guest's area and was often noisy and occupied when we got out for the day. There was also a good bit of noise coming from the front . Other than this, it was a nice place to spend Christmas with my adult kids!

Beautiful location and quite space

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: This condo was the best location for the things we came to enjoy. Patio was right in front of the pool and few steps from the beach. We snorkeled every day and enjoyed the outdoor patio for meals. Inside the kitchen was well equipped and we saved money by cooking most days. We would come back again. The only negative would be that the condo was a little musty smelling when we first arrived. Although the condo has air conditioning we preferred opening the patio screens and that seemed to take away the musty smell.

Fabulous condo

We loved the property and appreciated the unit had games for children, coffee basics for adults, and the pool stocked a communal chest of pool toys. The only downside was that the onsite property manager Augustin twice rented us a broken golf cart, and issued only a partial refund. I wouldn't recommend using his rentals. the first time it broke down he was unreachable and we had to walk a good distance. He told us he'd fixed it the next day but it still didn't work so we had to scramble to find alternate transportation that day.

Hi Sabrina! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay. However, we're truly sorry to learn about the inconvenience you experienced with the golf cart rentals provided onsite. We'll be addressing this issue with Agustin immediately to ensure that similar incidents don't occur in the future. Your feedback is invaluable to us as it helps us identify areas where we can improve and deliver a better experience for our guests. Once again, we appreciate your honest feedback and hope that despite this setback, you were still able to enjoy your time at our property. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide you with a much-improved experience in the future.

Great stay and on top of everything!

We truly loved our stay here. We had a very interesting trip. We actually arrived on the 30th for our entire trip and originally staying in another unit. It wasn’t peak season, so we knew chances for rain were high. Our first unit started leaking all over the kitchen, so another property owner who was staying there helped us get in contact with this unit and move over. It was within an hour that we were all moved. The rain brought a slight leak to this units kitchen, but this was was able to be fixed very quickly. The location is beautiful. The units are comfortable and very clean. It was myself, my husband and our two daughters. We had such a wonderful trip. We will come back. Rain happpens. Leaks happen. Never let that ruin anything for you! Enjoy how wonderful the town and people are!

Great Property

This property is very well kept and the condo has million dollar views of the ocean. It is centrally located in the small town of Akumal and there is a small store for snacks/grocery items right across the street. I would recommend a golf cart if you don't want to walk a bit farther to shops and restaurants. The condo was big, clean and well equipped. Bedrooms and bathrooms are large with a lot of storage. It was great walking right out to the pool and ocean, but you will have other quests in front of your sliding door using the pool since this is on the ground floor. The beach is raked each day, but there was seaweed when we were there due to the winds. It's the ocean, so sometimes that happens. You'd also do well to pack water shoes as there is coral and rocks as you enter the ocean, but it is still easy to get into the water and swim/snorkel. Very quiet and peaceful property and on-site manager was very helpful and nice. Highly recommend.
