Absolutely lovely

I have stayed at La Sirena several times now and keep returning because it is excellent. This was my first stay in number 5 and I enjoyed it immensely. The views from all the condos here are lovely and the design of the condos is such that the vistas can be enjoyed from virtually anywhere. The gardens and pool are particularly attractive, night and day. Once again, my only complaint is that it is time to go. Thank you to the owners who clearly take such pride in the decoration and upkeep of their condos.

This condo has it all

This is a perfect Akumal condo on the quiet end of Half Moon Bay. Snorkeling is right out front and a short walk to YalKu and several restaurants. The view is the best! You can see the entire bay with the floor to ceiling windows. We like to cook and the kitchen has everything, even a maid to clean up! The large swimming pool located in the beautiful garden in the middle of the condo was great to cool off. We visited in August and found the whisper quiet AC in every room kept things cool when the sea breezes were not enough. This was our second stay in this condo and we're already planning a trip back.

Beautiful views, spacious condo, lots to explore

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Sirena Condos on Half Moon Bay, Akumal. The Cen Balem corner unit is in a perfect location on the bay for views out to the ocean and of the bay. Snorkeling is very good right out from the front of the condos. We enjoyed being able to sit on the balcony and look out on the bay or sit on the balcony on the other side of the unit when the sun was too hot. The inner courtyard is beautiful with many lovely flowering plants. The unit was very quiet and complete with a well supplied kitchen and comfortable beds. It was easy to contact Diana whenever we had questions about the unit or places to go. The location is also great for touring Mayan ruins (Tulum, Coba and Muyil) and exploring cenotes (many within a few minutes). We enjoyed having a great home-base to come back to that was peaceful with the ocean surf to listen to. We'd stay again, it was great!

AKUMAL in October

Quiet area located right on the water at the end of the bay. This is not a sandy beach, bring your water shoes! Excellent snorkelling half block away in the lagoon with denotes. We had a great guide(you do not require one) his name was Eduardo, fun and informative! There is also snorkeling directly at the condo. Everything was ‘okay’, our only negative comments would be that we emailed and texted the owner repeatedly asking how to access the tv channels, but we never received a reply so all we had was Netflix. The unit itself needs some repairs and updating but the view was fantastic, the pool impeccably cleaned daily (not heated) and a super friendly dog that watches over everyone but actually belongs to the National Guard base across the street. We felt safe staying here and the people were amazing. If you golf, the absolutely Beautiful PGA Riviera Maya course is just a 12 minute drive down the highway!

Paradise

The property was amazing! Great location, great staff. The pool was beautiful although we spent most of our time in the ocean. Bring water shoes, we bought some there at big grocery store for cheap. We didn’t want to leave and hope to be back one day! Local restaurants and shops were great. There a so many activities near by we had full days and still did not cross everything off the list.

Best pool and gardens

Cen Balam is our favorite condo in Half Moon Bay, and we have stayed in many different condos up and down the bay. The kitchen is fully equipped, the beds are comfortable and the balcony is perfect for sunsets. The northern part of the bay has easy access to snorkeling in the bay along with great tide pool exploring. There are always sun loungers and palapas available to enjoy on the beach, unlike other condo complexes. The swimming pool is great for little ones, as it has a large shallow platform, and plenty of deeper water for adults. But my favorite part of La Sirena, is the gardens. You really feel like you’re in a tropical oasis. Actually, you are in a tropical oasis!

A little corner of paradise.

Cen Balaam was everything we had hoped for: a comfortable apartment, a lovely beach, a large, welcoming pool. We spent a good bit of time on our corner deck looking out at the beautiful water. Daily housekeeping was a plus, and everything was exceptional clean. The beds were extremely comfortable; the air-conditioning worked perfectly; the sun never failed to shine. There are some wonderful restaurants within walking distance. All in all, a great place .

Beautiful June get-a-way

The place was just as described, though I would say the art and brightness of the condo was even better than the photos show. The concrete base for the couch made us more likely to do other things than hang out in the condo. it was hot in June so we did mostly water activities. The pool was so hot, we never used it. We didn't rent a car, so had to rent bikes to get to the restaurants and mini-mart. Had it been cooler, the walks would have been doable. a taxi to dos ojos was about $100 US dollars, so consider that as a comparison to the cost of renting a car. snorkeling just outside the condo in the early morning was my favorite thing.

Beautiful condo, very relaxing stay

This condo has view windows of the water every where. That was a big selling point for me. They open to the breezes, so we never needed to turn on the AC. Also its equipped with ceiling fans through out. The condo is tastefully filled with beautiful wood carvings of Mayan glyphs and paintings. Being a corner unit even enhances the wrap around view. if you tire of the ocean, each bedroom has its own patio overlooking the garden. You enter through the common area grounds with a large pool and garden area filled with tropical plants and orchids. The location is perfect for a 2 minute walk to Yalku Lagoon, or the best snorkeling in the bay right out front and several restaurants within an easy walk. We like to cook and found every thing we could possibly need, and even a maid to clean up our mess!

The property is fantastic; great location, spacious, wonderfully decorated feels like someones home.

The property is located on the half-moon bay (beautiful and peaceful), 5 minutes on foot from the first restaurants right on the beach, and walking distance from the Akumal beach. The condo complex is in very safe neighborhood, has wonderful garden with the pool, and the beach on the sea side. It takes about 5-7 minutes swimming from the condo beach to reach the reef (very healthy) with fishes, rays, and occasional turtle. We were amazed with the apartment, the authentic artwork, carvings on the doors, traditionally designed rooms including bathrooms and spacious seaside facing balcony and two additional from each room. The apartment felt as home, not as rental. One truly does not need the car to reach Akumal beach, Akumal Pueblo and can use public transport to go to Tulum. We plan to go back with another half of the extended family and continue to explore this magnificent Riviera, culture, history, nature and food. This was my best rental ever.

Snorkel and Chill

The property and location had things we desired for vacation including snorkeling Horseshoe Bay, enjoying the pool, and indulging the local food and drink. The interior of the apartment is nice, but we spent more time on the 3 balconies than inside. The only real complaint was that a few in my group found the beds and couches uncomfortable. We were certainly relieved when we realized that hot water was available in the shower, but it just takes a while to warm up. I was very appreciative of the area’s safety and lack of crowds. We walked to restaurants for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and the only place that provided IPA beer called La Lunita. There is also a walkable convenience store that has groceries for breakfast at home, alcohol & ice, and snacks. Everybody we encountered was courteous and the language barrier was a minimal problem.
