The perfect getaway.

Our stay at the Beachfront Casita could not have been any more perfect. Everything about our stay in Akumal was wonderful. Augustine, the on site manager, was very responsive for any requests that we had during our stay. We are already planning a return trip next year, if not before.

Quaint, comfortable casita with all the essentials in a great location!

Casita Maria was one of three places in Akumal I rented for ourfamily Easter vacation. My niece, her hubby and two little boys stayed here and they loved it. The property manager was kind and informative, even left a welcome basket. Half Moon Bay is a great beach with amazing snorkeling in front of our favorite Akumal restaurant “La Buena Vida”. Great location and value!

Great Casita at a Great Price

This is a great Casita on Half Moon Bay in Akumal. The property has a pool next to the beach and inside they had snacks upon our arrival. We used this as a base for three days while visiting Coba, Cenotes and Tulum. The men worked very hard to clear the beach of sargassum grass so we bought them breakfast one morning. We loved the place!

Beautiful beachfront

Clean, quiet. The beach is right there, including amazing snorkeling. Very nice pool and patio on the beachside (the casita faces the street). Excellent housekeeping service every day. The casita is very simple but met all our needs. The maintenance guys are great at maintaining a beautiful beach setting.

Good value for the money

We really enjoyed our stay at Casita Maria. Very clean, comfortable beds and a good location, about 15 minute walk to town. Nice to have a small grocery store across the street. Augusta, the front desk Manager was very helpful. Yal Ku is walking distance and we would highly recommend a trip there if you like to snorkel, the sea was pretty rough in front of the complex during the time we were there. Great home base to explore the area.

Perfect for Three of Us

We enjoyed our long weekend in Akumal at Casita Maria! Location is perfect for exploring - walkable to all restaurants and activities. Having access to the pool was perfect. The Casita has everything needed for a very comfortable stay. The air conditioning unit is amazing. The bathroom is nicely updated and has plenty of space. We have a close friend that lives in the area year round and we will be back to visit and plan to stay at Casita Maria in the future. Perfect Stay!

Great location

Chris and Polly's place was perfect for what we needed, we could walk to everything easily. The place itself was very cute and they thought of everything as far as utensils for the kitchen. Our only issue and it's probably not even able to be helped because of the concrete is that it was quite hard to dry anything due to the dampness and in turn some things started to smell a little of must. For the amount of time you spend inside it didn't really bother us but maybe a dehumidifier would help? We will be recommending to people for sure.

July 4th, 2013

My husband and I and are 4-year-old son stayed at Casita Maria for two nights. We really appreciated the warm welcome from the staff and the goodie basket (especially the pineapple!). This is truly one of the best bargains in Akumal. We had a couple of days to kill before moving into a larger villa with friends for a week, and Casita Maria and the Playa Caribe condo complex suited our needs very well. Our son loved the pool, and we even were alerted to a turtle nesting in the middle of the night! The casita was very clean and brightly appointed, and stocked with just about anything we would need. We enjoyed it!
