Wonderful condo!

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 loved this condo right on the water for a mother/daughter girls’ trip. The condo was clean and cute and well equipped. Plenty of towels and purified water! The property managers texted to check on us and respond to our questions. We walked to restaurants and Yal-Ku for snorkeling. The neighborhood was quiet and safe and everyone was kind and welcoming! I’d go back in the winter months when the seaweed isn’t a problem. We were warned, but the amount of seaweed was shocking and we never got in the water in the bay. That was too bad. However we found plenty to do and had a great time.

Heavenly!

We so enjoyed our stay at Playa Caribe #5 this summer. The condo was perfect as was the location. We would highly recommend staying here on your next visit to Akumal. (As long as it doesn't interfere with our plans on staying there again!)

A little bit of heaven on earth

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 our second time staying at Playa Caribe #5. We were so delighted with our first stay we had to come again and we were not disappointed. Besides a very lovely condo with an incredible balcony, view and most importantly the staff there was even more amazing the second time. We so enjoyed the staff who were friendly, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. We felt perfectly safe and pampered from the daily cleaning to the help with our luggage. It doesn’t get better than this. Please do yourself a favor and come stay at this remarkable property. You will not regret it. Oct 2024

Perfect!

We just returned from an absolutely perfect Akumal vacation. From the moment we walked in, we knew Annie's condo was special. The condo is immaculate and the daily maid service is wonderful. The festive decor is perfect. There are two AMAZING tile huge bathtubs that we all loved. The staff is wonderful as well as the security, they were on top of everything. Akumal itself is warm and fun but small enough to feel cozy. Thank you, thank you for such a perfect trip.

Beautiful condo and location

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 a wonderful unit--clean, breezy, and set up nicely for two couples or a family. Really, the condo (and the sunny weather) were the highlights of our trip. For some reason the hot water was not working in the showers and was not fixed however.

Great place...

Loved the traditional style of the place. Of course, the view is fantastic and you not only have a view forward on the patio but the sides are open also for additional view. Spent alot of time on that patio! As noted on the listing, the WiFi was perfect and the air conditioning was perfect and comfortable. Hot water was endless. Kitchen was fully stocked. Akumal is more of a low key area versus Playa de Carmen and Cancun. Went down to Tulum one day and that is getting so busy, I was so glad to get back to Akumal and Annie's place that day to relax again. Great place! Thank you Annie.

Loved Playa Caribe #5

We stayed for 10 days at Playa Caribe in unit #5 and loved the vacation. Annie is fantastic to deal with and she has lots of information about the area. The condo is very clean, with daily cleaning, well stocked kitchen and fantastic view of the bay. The staff was great at helping when we needed anything. The town is a 15 minute walk, 2 restaurants are only 5-10 minutes away. There are lots of rocks when getting into the water but we knew this and had water shoes which helped a lot. The water was warm with small waves for the first part of the vacation and then really calm for the end. It was a very relaxing vacation and I would definitely recommend unit #5!

Paradise

Dear Annie and John, Thank you for sharing your special place with us. Everything was perfect!! Your condo is beautifully decorated and well stocked for comfort and functionality. We have been to this area many times, but Akumal is the most centrally located place to stay and we would come again. Coba and Rio Secreto were very easy drives and, of course, the lagoon is around the corner. We spent the $20 for the Palapa at the lagoon and felt it was worth it for the entire day. Not to mention the great snorkeling and sea life right out front. Overall, a relaxing, fantastic vacation. Nice Friday Night lobster dinner for our 15th anniversay at La Lunita. Thanks for the great reference library, maps, brochures, reef books, etc.

The best place to chill and relax

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 were fortunate to stay in Playa Caribe #5 for two full weeks. Nothing can compete with waking every morning and seeing the beautiful blue water. Seriously we were literally within 20ft from the water. The pool was great for laying in the sun or going for a swim. Snorkeling was amazing right out the front door. If you are interested in seeing Tulum or Playa please plan on renting a car. Otherwise everything you need is within walking distance. This is a fantastic property! You won’t regret it for sure.

Annie should be a travel agent!

Annie's place is beautiful! She has everything you could ever need in her Condo. If you've thought about it, she's got it! One of the things I loved most is her attention to the details. She has thought about Everything. CARM (the shuttle service, she told us about) was worth every penny! The staff at Playa Caribe are very pleasant! We had an excellent time and my husband is already talking about booking for next year!! Oh ya, He went fishing one day with "DOG", caught 3 El dorato. We had some for dinner. Very tasty! Super great time. Thanks Annie and John. Rob and Sheila Enumclaw, Washington

Too bad it had to end...!

I almost hesitate to say how much the 4 of us enjoyed this condo, because it may get harder to book in the future. It is advertised as the best condo in Half Moon Bay and I would certainly agree! The view from the deck is breathtaking, and the amenities in the condo were excellent. I love the wall mounted CD player, and used the iPad docking station also. We cooked a few meals while we were there, and everything I needed was available. It is well stocked with dishes, glasses, pots and pans. Annie was a big help during the planning stage (thanks!) and the staff at Playa Caribe was 1st class. We snorkeled in the bay (saw a few turtles and plenty of fish,) went up the street to the lagoon (spent an entire day there, with a break for lunch) and also went swimming in the surf at Tulum, maybe the most beautiful beach I've been too. We usually spend our vacations in different islands but we all felt that we will certainly return to this particular condo!

Playa Caribe #5

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 was our first time at Playa Caribe but have been to Akumal over 10 times. We decided to try PC for the pool, which isn't very common on Half Moon Bay. We were very pleased to have the pool as the ocean was lapping right up to the property. The unit itself far exceeded our expectations. Unit 5 provided two oceanfront bedrooms, a more than adequate living and kitchen space and excellent service by the staff on hand. We spent evenings on our lovely deck, listening to the ocean and enjoying the stars. Special notes: Housekeeping service was superb! Linens were lovely. Beds divine. Showers large although, as is typical in Akumal, hot water was spotty. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. Very safe, welcoming and property overall in beautiful and clean condition. Eager to get back!

Great condo, but really bad seaweed problem now all along the coast...

I had stayed in this condo in 2014 and had a wonderful time, so decided to go back last week (3/2 - 3/9). The condo is located on the 2nd floor of the Playa Caribe building, is very nice, always clean, with great places to eat nearby. When we arrived on Saturday we were shocked to see (and smell) all of the seaweed that was rolling into the bay and piling up along the shore. I guess this is a relatively new problem, not just in Half Moon bay but all over. I feel bad having to write this review because Annie has always been great to work with, and since she owns this condo it will no doubt cause her some problems. The staff worked all day, each day, trying to keep up with it which was quite a job. We drove down to the beach at Tulum, which is one of our all time favorite places to swim in the beautiful blue surf, and they were having the same problem, so we turned around and came back. We did use the pool, and also went down the road to the lagoon to snorkel, which was excellent! Lots of fish and no seaweed there, but lots of groups of people being hauled in by van and buses. If you are looking for a relaxing time, eating good food, and don't care about the seaweed, it's a great condo. I would just suggest you check on conditions...

Playa Caribe #5 is fanatastic!

Playa Caribe #5 is a beautiful, well equipped and maintained accommodation on Half Moon Bay. We recently spent a week there and Annie is very easy to work with and has so much information to offer to make your stay in the Akumal area that much more enjoyable.The staff is very helpful and Agustin, the on site property manager, is tremendous. We had a great trip! We were able to snorkel everyday. We saw turtles, manta ray, sting ray, and many beautiful fish!The first 5 minutes we went out we saw a sting ray who spooked my daughter a little. The 2nd day the water was rough, so we went to Yal Ku lagoon which was a good place to get Delilah more comfortable in the water. We rented bikes right at Playa Caribe which was fun too! One day we went to Akumal bay and snorkeled. Lots of tourists and turtles! I'm glad they are trying to protect that area because it is crowded. We also went to Cenotes Rancho Santa Cruz...highly recommend! It was private, beautiful, and close to Playa Caribe. The rest of the days the ocean was much calmer and we snorkeled out front. A turtle built a nest right in front of the condo while we were there! Of course it was the one night I didn't wake up constantly to see if there were any turtles. A lady staying there saw it and of course took pictures with her flash....upsetting. We also saw a lady rip off one of those beautiful coral leafs! 😢 As far as local restaurants we liked La Buena Vida the best, as well as La Cueva de la Pescadora. Thanks for a great trip and information!

A great holiday in a great condo!

What a wonderful place to stay over Christmas! Two couples and 1 adult son enjoyed #5, especially the patio for Happy Hour and breakfasts with its wonderful view of Half Moon Bay....you can see it all! Snorkelers, paddle boarders, diving pelicans...lots of entertainment! The bedrooms were very comfortable with plenty of storage and a TV each. My husband found great reception to watch our favorite football team on the Mexican NFL station! But too much else to do! Augustin was helpful in arranging Santa Cruz Cenote tour and helping us out in many ways. Patricia, our dear maid, brought a lovely food basket as we moved in. The kitchen was very well equipped ; our favorite appliance was the blender, and we used the citrus squeezer several times a day! Annie was great sending us tips of restaurants and activities. We ordered our Christmas morning breakfast as a takeout the night before from Turtle Bay Cafe. We went to the little produce market in town (Wed/Sat..ask Augustine) and got fresh juice oranges, papayas, mangoes etc. We did rent a car (parking in town 20 pesos/hr..validated by Turtle Bay or Taverna..or farther out 50 pesos/day if you're going to beach or shopping wandering through town). However, easy to rent bikes or golf carts. Several restaurants within close walking distance..Annie will send ideas. We had horrible service at Buena Vida..would avoid that even though it's close. It was so nice to walk out from our condo and wade in to snorkel or we got canoes to paddle just down the street. The pool on the patio is very comfortable and I practiced using my goggles and snorkeling equipment there! You will appreciate Annie's decorating touches with local art throughout the condo. In the Tulum area, we enjoyed the El Paris Beach Club(See Trip Advisor) and the Biosphere boat ride/float. (Augustin can arrange transport) A wonderful condo in a great location! We highly recommend Akumal and Playa Caribe #5!

The PERFECT Condo for our Akumal vacation

We have come to Quintana Roo 6 times in the past 8 years. Isla Mujeres, Playa Del Carmen, Puerto Aventuras...all were wonderful in their own right, but Akumal was the perfect fit, and the best by far, for our family. In all of our trips to the region, we have never stayed in a nicer condo than this one. We are: Mid 40s couple with a 12 y/o daughter Arrival: After traveling all day, it was an amazing feeling to step into a condo that was every bit of what we had hoped it would be and more. Towels were folded into animal shapes, there was a welcome basket, and the place was immaculate! Usually, if I use a glass from the back of the cabinet, or some obscure pot, I expect it to be a little bit dirty just from not being touched for so long. But I SWEAR...EVERY ITEM WAS WASHED FRESH FOR US! The bedrooms: Both of the rooms are practically identical and would both be considered "Master Bedrooms". They both have beautifully tiled HUGE tubs and showers. They each have small private balconies that look straight over the ocean. TVs in both. The Amenities: All of the reusables are replaced for you free of charge, so don't buy a giant pack of TP like we did. The kitchen is complete and would satisfy most needs. There is not an oven, but a great cooktop and a microwave. Whatever you do buy, don't buy salt...there is plenty of salt. There are outlets everywhere! some even have built in USB, so you can leave the power strips and extension cords at home. The complex: Playa Caribe is extremely well kept and on the perfect part of half-moon bay. Being able to use water STRAIGHT FROM THE FAUCET, to brush teeth and wash fruits and veggies was such an unusual treat, and a first for us in Mexico. There is always someone there to help with the little things you need, like charging your golf cart, etc. Annie: When you rent Annie's condo, you not only get an amazing condo, you also get what equates to a personal concierge in the owner, Annie. From the day you book, you begin receiving helpful tips that will make your stay better. We followed all of her tips, and couldn't have been happier. You can not be disappointed if you rent this unit!

Mooi verblijf

We hebben genoten van ons verblijf in Akumal. Mooi appartement, met 2 grote kamers en badkamers, zeer goed onderhouden. Het terras met prachtig uitzicht is een surplus. De check in verliep ook heel vlot.

condo #5

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love the management of Playa Caribe, Augustine is responsive and efficient. Patricia is wonderful with the housekeeping. We would not stay in #5 again as it was not well supplied and the fancy mirrors worked part of the time. Basic supplies such as a can opener were missing. We will chose other condos in that complex.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The staff at Playa Caribe exceptional! We did find that it was quite noisy with doors slamming And being able to hear noise both inside and out. The unit itself was very modern with a gorgeous view. The water pressure was great! The location is nice as it’s not too far from the restaurants. The beach is small and of course because of the location there was a lot of sargassum

Great place to stay!

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: Great location and well maintained and updated unit. We appreciated the kitchen amenities since we ate breakfast there daily. Would recommend a few things:1) All but one closet in one bedroom was locked and the unlocked closet had supplies in it leaving limited storage for clothing and luggage.2) It was unclear whether the water was drinkable. The unit had bottled water but usually there is a pitcher and cups in the bathroom to remind people to use this for brushing teeth. This was missing.3) It was unclear if we were to flush toilet paper. We put it in the trash can but it would sure be easier if the trash can lids didn't require lifting. 4) Would be great to have cushions for lounge chairs!
