We've traveled to Akumal many times. Several all-inclusives and condos. Playa Caribe is perfect! Great location, far enough from the crowds in Akumal central, but close enough for the necessities. Not a good swimming beach, water shoes are a must if you're in the ocean, but Playa Caribe has a pool! One of the very few that does. Attentive staff,... More

We stayed at the Playa Caribe #7 for a week. Condo #7 is professionally decorated with wonderful views, steps away from Half-Moon Bay. At great "home-base" for enjoying all that the area has to offer. The condos are well cared for; Augustine is a great on-site manager with good tips for places to eat and things to do. There is...

We just returned from a stay in unit #11. It was myself, my husband, and 5 year old daughter. We've been to this area before but this was our first time at these particular condos. We were really pleased with Playa Caribe. The view from the balcony is second to none and I love that no matter where you are... More

We searched for months to find "the Place" to stay for our 15th wedding anniversary and celebrations of other family events. We stumbled upon Playa Caribe and from the moment of driving up to it, we fell in love. We stayed in #7 and felt so at home there. The decor is fantastic, the view stunning, and it has every... More

We stayed in #6 last week with our three adult daughters: 1) It's in the middle of Half Moon Bay, which is 1km north of Akumal Playa (the town). The beach is somewhat rocky, but it's still beautiful and you can snorkel from it. On 3 of our 7 nights last week we witnessed sea turtles laying their eggs right... More

Spent six nights in #12 at the end of May. It was even better than I expected after reading many positive reviews. The place was sparkling clean, the furnishings were beautiful and comfortable, and we had all the space we needed for two adults, two teens, and a nine-year-old. The best part was definitely the view of Half Moon Bay.... More

We had four adults and two small children, and we had plenty of space. The extra bed in the 2nd bedroom was great for my son (5yrs), and they gave us a pack and play... More
