Everything was super clean. The container game was on point.
This condo was beautiful with a clean boho vibe. Augustin at the front desk was super helpful with local information, bike and golf cart rental and booking a turtle tour with a guide that took just my family of four out.
The area felt super safe and we were comfortable walking to some local restaurants and shops. We ate at Buena Vida and Jungle Cafe several times each and both were delicious. Each was about a Three minute walk away.
We snorkled right off the beach and saw a huge variety of fish. The was some seaweed but it didn’t ruin it.
We took the golf cart to Yal-Ku and saw even more fish. We rode it to the other end and ate at La Cueva del Pescador. This meal was also delicious and best bang for your buck! Just over $50 for four lunches, guac, two sodas, a beer and a margarita.
My very favorite part though was the balcony overlooking the Caribbean! The property is so close to the water line that the sea is right there with the breeze and sound of the waves. We started and ended every day in the most relaxing spot. We even watched sting rays swimming past.
If you are not sure about booking I’d say go for it and use the concierge service to book your transfer to and from the airport.

Lovely Views
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Playa Caribe! The view from our unit was amazing! The kids appreciated the pool as well as the beach! We ate at local restaurants that were recommended by Plaza Caribe and they were excellent! (La Buena Vida, Lol Ha, and La Taverna). Our family also visited the Monkey Sanctuary, the Tulum Ruins, and 4 Cenotes; all of which were outstanding activities! The only downside of our visit were the 2 power outages we experienced and couldn't find a flashlight in our unit. I suggest you add flashlights for future guests. In addition, we could have used a small broom for the sand. Overall, we would definitely recommend Playa Caribe and would anticipate staying here again! Thank you for everything!

It was a good stay
Visited mid February and had a good stay. Condo was in great condition, daily housekeeping was helpful, AC worked well. Fourth floor location was quiet. Always found chairs on the beach, although pending the tide and amount of sargassum, the stretch of sand in front of the complex was thin. Definitely recommend water shoes for gettin in the water if front of complex. Good walking distance to restaurants. Convenient, small market across the street for snacks and ice cream.
A gem of a place. Great snorkeling with coral reef. Great for swimming. Buena vida restaurant next door was awsome! Little convenient store in front was a life saver. Will will be back!!!!
This property was fantastic. Great view from the balcony! Our family of 4 were very comfortable in the condo for 10 days! Take water shoes, it is very rocky when walking into the ocean! Highly recommend this property!

Amazing Location with Beautiful Views
Everything about this vacation was perfect. The condo was very well done and the view was perfect. Super great neighborhood with walking distance to a fantastic restaurant. It is a 4 floor walk up, so be prepared if you are not used to that. But the onsite manager carried up and down all of our giant suitcases. We will be back, for sure!

Lovely beach condo in Half Moon Bsyay. It was very comfortable and well maintained.
The condo has a stunning view of Half Moon Bay. Unfortunately the seaweed came in during the middle of our stay making the water and beach very unpleasant. The condo is on the top floor and there is no elevator. There are 66 steps to climb. There are no bathrooms at the pool or beach. The staff was amazing. The condo was well decorated and the beds were very comfortable. The pool was not heated and the filtration was not working. The beach is a coral beach so bring your reef shoes.

Akumal adventure
What an amazing vacation. The condo has beautiful views, many balconies, an is well stocked with basics without being cluttered. It is about a mile to town for shopping, the Akumal general store has groceries, and the condo complex (14units) has bikes to rent and will help to plan adventures around Akumal if wanted
