This condo is in a lovely spot on quiet Half Moon Bay. You are literally steps from the ocean; if you don't like the sound of the surf at night, you might not want to stay here! :) Two adults and two thirteen year old boys were comfortable staying here for a week. (Though it can feel a little cramped if you have a string of bad weather days.) Drinking water is provided throughout your stay, which is awesome. It was really nice that there was a fair amount of snorkel gear there for us to use, but the inflatables for riding the waves need replacement. The pool was fun for the kids, and a good way for families in neighboring condos to meet each other. The cleaners did an amazing job cleaning the place every day, which was much appreciated! Minor quibbles: The condo could use more beach towels and hooks to hang things on and though you're unlikely to do much cooking, the kitchen supplies are pretty sparse. (No wine opener?) The folks at Akumal Direct, especially David who was our main contact and fielded a lot of emails from us, were super helpful! Before we arrived, David arranged for our golf cart rental and delivery, which was fun and great for getting around, as well as guided trips to a cenote and the Sian Ka'an biosphere/Muyil ruins -- both wonderful. And when we arrived at the condo and discovered there was no hammock, Akumal Direct delivered one right away. They even brought a little bag of Christmas presents! Our entire family loved being so close to La Buena Vida, where you can eat/drink with your feet in the sand and enjoy one of the best views ever. We also enjoyed the new La Jungla Cafe (breakfast/lunch) just down the street, which also is in a lovely (jungle) environment. Don't miss the Ya Kul Lagoon (very. close by -- nothing in Akumal is very far away; it's a delightfully small place), which is a splendid place to spend several hours. Have fun!!!
