Ground-Floor Beachfront Condo with Pool, Patio & Concierge

Playa Caribe 3 combines comfort, style, and an unbeatable beachfront location in Half Moon Bay. Situated on the southern wing of the building, this ground-floor condo opens onto a furnished terrace with loungers, BBQ grill, and direct pool access—framed by sweeping Caribbean views.

Inside, the Master Bedroom offers a king bed with an ensuite bath, while the guest suite includes two queens and its bathroom. With space for six guests, the condo is ideally suited for couples traveling together, families, or groups of friends. All bedrooms and the living/dining areas are cooled by central AC.

The fully equipped kitchen features an electric stove, full refrigerator, and a breakfast bar that overlooks the turquoise bay—perfect for morning coffee or preparing snacks. The open-concept design creates a relaxed flow from kitchen to dining to living spaces, leading naturally out to the terrace.

Guests enjoy daily housekeeping, beach towels, purified water, parking, and onsite concierge service. Whether you want airport transfers, grocery delivery, or guided excursions, the staff makes your stay seamless.

Located in Akumal’s secure gated Half Moon Bay, the condo is walking distance from Yal Ku Lagoon, Akumal Bay, shops, and restaurants. The shoreline mixes soft sand with coral rocks, excellent for snorkeling—water shoes recommended. While walking and taxis cover local needs, a rental car or private driver is suggested for exploring cenotes, Mayan ruins, or nearby Riviera Maya towns. Playa Caribe is one of the area’s original beachfront condominiums, known for service and comfort.

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!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The room was like it was pictured very cute and clean. The pool is small but worked great to go out and cool down in. The kitchen is well equipped. Just know there is no oven but we did barbecue. The host was very accommodating and the concierge was very helpful and very prompt. Very cute area and nice to have the golf carts to Travel with. You can rent golf carts at the facility.

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 a quaint little property with a nice pool and small beach. Adelah and Augustin will take good care of you. If Akumal prices continue to rise we will not be able to afford it after 18 years of vacationing there.

It felt like renting a house looking the ocean

We had a great time at Playa Caribe. This unit is next to the pool on the ground, it was like having a house for ourselves. We had cleaning service every day, the people at the condo were very nice. We could walk to a small general store, and went to the Akumal beach that was free of sargasso. Short drive to Tulúm and the cenotes. Great stay!

Great spot, wonderful management

This was a lovely and easy place to stay. Everyone who works here is so helpful - the view is beautiful. The pool is great. It can get a little crowded, but all the guests were polite and easy to share space with. We woke to beautiful sunrises every morning. Unfortunately, the sargassum was bad while we were there, but we spent a lot of time at the lagoon and other beaches. This is a definite return to place for us!

Fantastico!

The condo was beautiful and very nicely decorated. The check in process was seamless and after the long flight and commute to the property, it was nice to have a wonderful basket of goodies there waiting for us. The site felt very safe with friendly staff always willing to assist. Many of the other guests we met were returning visitors to the property and we hope to one day return. We had a great trip!

10 Days in Akumal

A great spot for 4. We went with another couple and the place was perfect. Right by the pool, which is right by the beach which is right next to the road that takes you wherever you want - including our favourite hang out: La Buena Vida which was a short walk and stumble home. House keeping services as much or as little as you like and the concierge will arrange anything. I’d highly recommend.

Great stay

We stayed for 6 nights with age ranges from 1- 65. Easy access to the beach and pool was amazing. Great food options nearby. Very sleepy town but easy access to snorkeling. It was spotless cleaned everyday. There was light cut for a day which was challenging esp with the kids. Light cut also meant no water no cooking no cellphone service too. We had to emergency evacuate as with kids it was hard to survive. Unfortunately there was no communication from the manager too which bummed our whole trip.

Our first time traveling to Mexico.

This was our first ever vacation to Mexico, and Akumal is unbelievable. Our stay at Playa Caribe exceeded all expectations. This condo is amazing, you step right out the sliding door and you are at the pool on the beach. The condo is clean, bright and inviting, we felt as if it was our home for the 10 days we spent there. Having there own water purification system is such a piece of mind for everything from drinking, cooking and showing. The maid service is excellent, everything was so clean and I can be a bit of a neat freak. We are already planning a return trip with the kids. One word to describe Akumal and this condo, OUTSTANDING!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our overall experience was great. Ideal for a family. We did share with friends, so I did find the shutters enclosing the main bedroom a little too exposed for my preference. But the entire suite was extremely clean, comfortable beds, lots of nice towels and a great blender in the kitchen. I recommend the grocery service. The pool was a nice touch- and clean. We would recommend!

Family vacation rental

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Playa Caribe is a lovely condo residence in a good location in Akumal. We stayed in Condo #3. It was clean, well maintained, the beds were comfortable. It however, has it's door to the beach directly in front of the other guest's area and was often noisy and occupied when we got out for the day. There was also a good bit of noise coming from the front . Other than this, it was a nice place to spend Christmas with my adult kids!

Beautiful location and quite space

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 condo was the best location for the things we came to enjoy. Patio was right in front of the pool and few steps from the beach. We snorkeled every day and enjoyed the outdoor patio for meals. Inside the kitchen was well equipped and we saved money by cooking most days. We would come back again. The only negative would be that the condo was a little musty smelling when we first arrived. Although the condo has air conditioning we preferred opening the patio screens and that seemed to take away the musty smell.

Great Family Vacation!

We had a fabulous time at Playa Caribe and I feel badly that it's taken me so long to write a review. The location is wonderful. The ocean is so beautiful, the pool is lovely and the area is quiet and peaceful. It's calm, but not remote enough to be inconvenient. We walked to several restaurants and the lagoon. We walked to town at least twice as well. Other attractions (zip line park and several cenotes) were a short drive away. The property manager was friendly and helpful, the unit was clean and well maintained. All in all a great vacation. The owners were easy to contact. In fact, my husband left his jacket in Mexico and the owners arranged to have it mailed back to us. Very kind! I recommend this property without hesitation and hope to return someday soon. You will love it!
