Oceanfront double condo on beach la sirena akumal
This was a vacation 16 years in the making and we wanted it to be special. Three generations of our family would be traveling together and we need the accommodations to be better than good. We needed them to be remarkable. You read the descriptions and see the photos when deciding on a place to stay, and sometimes they are accurate enough. Jaclyn's photos and description of the property did not do it justice. The condo, the property, and the staff were so far beyond our expectations, I can't even begin to say enough. I don't think we've ever stayed anywhere in our years of traveling that I would make the comment that the gardens and the view alone were enough to warrant a 5-star review. All said, the condo was light, spacious, and comfortable. The decor was beautiful and displayed the talents of the local people. Everything you could need is provided. We'll never forget our stay at Jaclyn's little slice of paradise on the Riviera Maya. Hopefully we'll return again soon!

A Frame Private Pool + Pickleball + Jungle
We would give Luis and his Casa Madera 10 stars, if we could. We had a wonderful stay, the house is even more beautiful than in the photos (and surprisingly big in reality). Every detail is thought through and perfect. Luis is a great, great host, so nice and helpful and warm and hospitable. Perfect all around, we‘d come back anytime!

Relax in Your Private Beachfront Retreat!
We had a wonderful stay at La Bahia. The host was helpful before we booked and afterwards with any questions as well as instructions. The staff at the condo was also attentive, including fixing a broken freezer very quickly. The beach access was superb despite the sargassum this time of year. We'd recommend getting a car or stopping in a bigger town with a full grocery store before heading to the Airbnb. Overall, we had a great stay and would recommend La Bahia to anyone looking to visit Akumal!

Casa Amanecer
Place was beautiful great pool wonderful beach. A little out of the way so good idea to rent a car Paulina was very helpful in recommending a place to rent a car that was excellent and affordable. Had a blast very peacefully and just like the pictures.

Escape to Your Beachfront Private Paradise!
We had a wonderful one-week stay in this place. It's very private, peaceful and safe - ideal to relax and enjoy the beautiful sunrise. The location was perfect - close to restaurants and cafes. The whole apartment was very clean and organized. We had a cleaning service that came daily to tidy things up. We didn't cook at this place but the kitchen has the basics. The host also provided us with drinkable water which it was Great to have access to. My only recommendation to this place will be to change the pillows, they were too flat and uncomfortable to sleep on.

Deluxe Beachfront Penthouse in Akumal
Susana and her family are magnificent hosts! They are extremely responsible and quick to do so. There is such pride of ownership and it is evident in the immaculately clean and well-maintained condo. There wasn't a scratch or mark on any of the walls. It is well-equipped right down to a vegetable peeler! It's the first I haven't had to use our own as most condos neglect to provide something so important anyone who plans on cooking there. The location is perfect and our favorite in Akumal. Thank you Susana!!

Balcony Penthouse Ocean View, Half Moon Bay Akumal
Had an amazing week at Cherri’s condo - the view was unreal and we loved the great snorkeling right out front of the building!

Exclusive beachfront condo, pool & Starlink WiFi
The place is wonderful and our host was great as well. Location is perfect, it is a beachfront property so you always wake up to the sound of the waves and the birds. The place is a walk distance of restaurants and cafes so it made our life so much easier.
