Akumal is a truly special vacation destination! This beachside village just an hour south of Cancun boasts a laid-back vibe, great restaurants, shops, abundant nature and outdoor activities. Playa Caribe #8 is the perfect place to enjoy everything Akumal has to offer!
This bright and airy third floor unit in one of the area's premier condominium buildings has three balconies overlooking gorgeous Half Moon Bay--one off each of the two spacious bedrooms and another adjacent to the living room where you can enjoy sweeping 180 degree views of the pristine bay below.

Akumal means "land of the turtle" in Mayan, and for good reason. Sea turtles live year-round in Akumal's two bays. Females nest on the beach in front of Playa Caribe, and watching hatchlings emerge then scamper into the ocean by moonlight is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Strap on a snorkel and swim with the turtles that live in Half Moon Bay, or just watch them from the comfort of Unit #8's balcony.
Playa Caribe's location offers both convenience and privacy. It's steps away from the festive Buena Vida bar and restaurant as well as the romantic seaside eatery La Lunita. The popular Yal-Ku snorkeling lagoon is also a short walk. Half Moon Bay is a quieter alternative to the busier Akumal bay, and its white-sand beach never feels crowded.
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!
