Third-Floor Oceanfront Condo with Balconies & Pool

Playa Caribe 8 is a third-floor condo in Akumal’s central Playa Caribe tower, designed for guests who want sweeping views and stylish comfort. This middle unit boasts a sunrise-perfect terrace, two ensuite bedrooms with private balconies, and space for up to five guests.

The primary suite includes a king bed, ensuite bath, and balcony with ocean views. The guest bedroom offers a queen bed plus a single sofa bed and private bath, making it versatile for couples, families, or friends. Both bedrooms and the open living areas are cooled with central AC.

The living room flows onto a large furnished terrace overlooking Half Moon Bay, where you can enjoy 180-degree views of the Caribbean. The kitchen is fully equipped with a breakfast bar and modern appliances, while colorful décor inspired by the sea frames the dining area.

Guests enjoy daily housekeeping, beach towels, purified water, parking, and concierge support. Shared amenities include a pool, BBQ grill, loungers, and outdoor shower.

Half Moon Bay is a secure and quiet neighborhood with coral reef and calm waters, excellent for snorkeling. Yal Ku Lagoon, Akumal Bay, and restaurants are walkable. For exploring ruins, cenotes, or nearby towns, a rental car or private driver is recommended. Playa Caribe is one of Akumal’s original condominiums, renowned for service and location.

Playa Caribe's location offers both convenience and privacy. It's steps away from the festive Buena Vida bar and restaurant as well as the romantic seaside eatery La Lunita. The popular Yal-Ku snorkeling lagoon is also a short walk. Half Moon Bay is a quieter alternative to the busier Akumal bay, and its white-sand beach never feels crowded.

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!

Excellent stay

The condo was exactly as advertised and can’t beat the view. The only small critique I would make is that the living room couches are not comfortable or make it easy to enjoy sitting for family time. Need to chisel them out and put comfy chairs or couches in. But the rest of condo is excellent. Towels are plush and plentiful, kitchen is very well equipped. Would consider staying again if ever vacation back in the akumal area.

Family Vacation

Tye 3 of us went to have a relaxing end of summer vacation and that's exactly what we got. Enjoyed the snorkeling right in front of the condo. The people in Akumal were so friendly. Can't wait to go back.

Awesome trip, beautiful condo, spectacular view!

My family and I absolutely oved our stay in Akumal! The condo was spotless and had an amazing view from the balcony. The locals were beyond friendly and the snorkeling was great! From our balcony we saw sea turtles and all kinds of sea life each day. The ocean was calm enough and shallow enough that both of my young children spent the majority of each day snorkeling. The sunrises and sunsets were spectacular, and the sound of ocean waves crashing just beneath our balcony washed all of our worries away. La Buena Vida was our favorite restaurant of the whole trip! We would definitely return here in the future should our travels bring us back to Akumal and would love to rent the exact same place. Book it!

Amazing view, gorgeous unit!

The condo is pretty much at the center of Half Moon Bay, great location with nearby restaurants, bars and shops to walk or golf cart to. The condo was incredible- very clean, roomy, comfortable beds and couch, and well stocked kitchen. The kitchen supplies were in great condition (pots, pans, etc) and there was a toaster oven to use along with nice electric stove and microwave. Housekeeping was quick and did a great job everyday. The views!! Oh my! Each bedroom had a small personal balcony and the large balcony off main living area looks directly over the bay and ocean. We spent most of the time on the patio enjoying the view and beeeze. It’s large with 4 seat patio table and large lounger and it still felt spacious. The main patio is further out than the bedroom patios making them all feel nice and private. The building was very clean, always smelled fresh, has amazing plants in the atrium area, and many units had stained glass windows enhancing the beauty of the building. Large pool with more patio tables and loungers in common area overlooking ocean. Pool was clean and quiet- no loud groups or messes. Relaxing! We rented a golf cart that was charged and ready to go as soon as we arrived. This was so much fun and allowed us to explore more of the area, get to dive shop quickly, and sweat less!! You gotta do this. David with the concierge service was so helpful arranging the golf cart rental, transportation to and from airport/around the area.

Beautiful, comfortable condo with everything you need

The condo and complex are very nice! Everything was in working order and the kitchen had absolutely everything we needed. Sunsets from the roof are lovely. The condo was extremely comfortable and everything was in working order. The Sargassum seaweed was in which was a bummer. It forced us to travel for our beach days. It was disappointing that you have to pay an access fee to go to Akumal beach (which had less seaweed bc it faces south).

Ocean views, sounds and breezes

The only way to be closer to the ocean would be to stay on a boat. This condo gives stunning ocean views by day and soothing sounds of the surf at night. It is a short walk away from two of our favorite Akumal restaurants: La Lunita and La Buena Vida. The kitchen is well equipped, but it has no real oven. We didn't need the air conditioning during our January stay because ocean breezes and an array of ceiling fans kept us comfortable. Can't wait to return.

Magical Akumal

Playa Caribe was a perfect choice to stay on the Coast. The Condo needed some nudging with a shower. No big deal, It got worked out immediately. There was always someone there to fix or work on something. The staff is friendly and laid back. I loved that. The condo is situated between two restaurants evenly. So that was nice. We were staying the same time as some owners were there. And they were lovely as well. I will recommend it anytime to everybody. Oh The sunrises were the absolute best.

We can’t wait to return!

The condo was perfect - the location, the cleanliness, the onsite staff, the comfortable bed and the fully stocked kitchen utensils. We lacked for nothing. And the view is so beautiful. What a great place to unwind and enjoy life. We will definitely return!
