About this apartment rental
Playa Caribe 5 is a second-floor condo in the central tower of Half Moon Bay’s Playa Caribe. With two bedrooms, each furnished with a king bed and ensuite bath, plus a queen sofa bed in the living room, it sleeps five comfortably. Both bedrooms have ocean views and a small balcony overlooking the bay.
The condo is newly updated and filled with bright touches of Mexican design—hand-painted Talavera tiles, local textiles, and a cheerful dining space with sea views. A fully equipped kitchen includes modern appliances and a large dining area. The oceanfront terrace offers incredible Caribbean views and a perfect place to enjoy coffee, meals, or evening cocktails.
Daily housekeeping, purified water, and beach towels keep your stay stress-free. Shared amenities include a pool, BBQ grill, loungers, and outdoor shower. Concierge staff provide support for tours, airport transfers, and grocery delivery.
Half Moon Bay is part of a secure, gated community with calm waters and a coral reef ideal for snorkeling. Restaurants, Yal Ku Lagoon, Akumal Bay, and dive shops are all within walking distance. A rental car or private driver is recommended for exploring cenotes, ruins, and nearby towns, though taxis and golf carts are readily available. Playa Caribe is one of Akumal’s most established beachfront condominiums, known for attentive service and its prime location.
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!

Overall, the condo was as advertised. The view from the window was spectacular every time you walk in the door. The bedrooms were nice with a king bed in each room and each room had an ocean view. This was nice since we had two couples -- no fighting over who got the best room. The condo was updated and modern which I like -- no concrete couch or garish colors. I think that's fantastic and beautiful -- others might miss the traditional Mexican aesthetic. The kitchen was well stocked. The condo was a little small as there was only 1 couch and 1 chair, so it was hard for everyone to sit together in the living room. That being said, we were very rarely in the living room and spent most of the day out in activities, out by the pool, or out on the deck. The condo is beautifully situated in the middle of Half Moon Bay, close enough to walk into Akumal for dinner or Yal-Kul. We did have an issue with the hot water, it never seemed to get very hot and with water pressure. So, the shower was a big negative. I did call about the hot water and was told to let it run and it will get hot. It didn't. It only seemed hot at certain times of day. Also, we had a problem with the toilet -- it leaked. We sent the team a notice about the leak at 5pm and they got to it the next day, unfortunately that was after it broke over night and caused a minor flood. The did a good job fixing it, but wish we didn't have the flood. All in all a very good trip and I would recommend the condo.

Playa Caribe is a lovely comfortable condo with 360 views of Half Moon Bay. Covered patio with comfortable loungers was shaded a good share of the day (my preferenence) Easy pool and beach access with great snorkeling right out front. The only downside was being located just above the pool there was often noise during the day. The small kitchen had no condiments, and very short on cutlery. But we had a fabulous maid, Paty who cleaned our cooking messes cheerfully every day.

We love the management of Playa Caribe, Augustine is responsive and efficient. Patricia is wonderful with the housekeeping. We would not stay in #5 again as it was not well supplied and the fancy mirrors worked part of the time. Basic supplies such as a can opener were missing. We will chose other condos in that complex.
