Relax under a palapa or take a refreshing swim in the pool. Playa Caribe #2 may almost be too enjoyable to leave!


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!

BEAUTIFUL!!
Pictures do not do this apartment justice. After staying for a few nights we were dreaming of what it would be like to own our own place just like this in half moon bay. Communication from the host was excellent. Response time was within a few minutes for anything we could have needed. There was only one hiccup with the host confirming we would have a travel crib upon arrival but we weren't able to get it until the next day. It didn't even matter that we didn't have the crib the first night as there was enough space for all of us to sleep and live comfortably. We loved being on the ground floor with easy access to the pool and beach. We cooked all meals at home and used the grill our last night to make a delicious surf and turf meal. The location couldn't be any better. So close to Yal Kul and beautiful reefs available to explore right off the beach. The extra sand toys available made it easy for our youngest to stay busy on the beach. We absolutely loved our stay and hope to come back soon.

LACK OF DISCLOSURE
Entering the condo we were overcome by a strong smell of mildew. After opening the doors, it remained strong, and my friend got an upper respiratory infection overnight. Both bathrooms had two steep steps to access, none of which were noted in the rental description. Also the 2 bathrooms featured showers w/steep steps down to access. No grab-bars to assist in/out of shower and slick when wet. This rental is NOT appropriate for those w/mobility issues or children. Akumal Direct, moved us to another unit for a few nights while deep cleaning the original rental. They were unable to find another ground-floor unit for us to rent being high season so we moved back into the unit with the hazardous showers that my friend could not access. The property manager and housekeepers we pleasant and accommodating, but Akumal Direct didn’t seem too concerned with addressing our issues and rectifying the situation. Lastly, the unit is steps from the pool which is available to all staying at Playa Caribe so be prepared for people walking across the porch to access the pool and lots of people/children within earshot. Lessons learned: DO NOT rent a non-refundable unit and ASK if it is safe for older travelers. While Akumal Direct claimed the bathrooms were clearly depicted in the rental description, THEY WERE NOT.

A Wonderful Experience!
This is the second time that we have stayed at Playa Caribe. The Condo's decor is exactly as you see in the featured pictures and have a nice authentic "Mexican" feel to them. Everyone is very friendly and we always felt safe. This time we didn't stop for groceries on our way in, but brought shopping bags with us and picked up everything we needed at the general store by the arches or the little convenience store near the condo. At night, we took our meals mostly at La Buena Vida which has a breezy hobo chic style to it. The food was always good. During the day we hung out at the beach or the pool, and we also arranged through David at Akumal Direct for a couples massage, and on another day for a facial/mani/pedi. Reasonable and fun! We really enjoyed our holiday and will be back!

Direct beach access
Really awesome direct beachfront condo. Very easy access, and in quiet Akumal. Lovely breezes across the bay every day. Unfortunately, there was a seaweed bloom that dumped a foot deep of material on the beach every day while we were there, but the location was nonetheless impressively beautiful.

Thanks to the Flakes for sharing their beautiful condo. We love the location and neighborhood. The condo has everything most would want for a beach vacation. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking if you want to. Having the reverse osmosis water was a fantastic feature. The staff were very helpful, reliable and a pleasure to work with. We would love to come back!

Serenity by the Sea
For my first visit to the Yucatan Peninsula, I chose this property because of my desire to by steps from the ocean, a pool for my daughter, ability to watch sunrises, peace, safe environment, away from major mega tourist traps, snorkeling walking distance and a comfortable practical place to spend my days. I’m hesistant to write such a good review as I don’t want to let the secret out of the bag. Playa Caribe met all of my expectations and then some. It’s location, peacefulness, design, pool, staff and communication with the owner. Tip Hilda every day, she’ll appreciatte it. Be kind to the area as we are only visiting ths beautiful planet for a short while. “Can’t take it with you.”
