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!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo's description and previous reviews were spot on. Nicely furnished and stocked with everything we needed. The view of the entire Half Moon Bay was beyond beautiful! Only downside for us (I will learn to check in the future) is the condo was located on the third floor and the building did not have an elevator. Due to the time we arrived, late afternoon, there were no staff available to assist us with our heavy luggage (my husband and I are over 65 yrs old). Regardless, we will definitely rent this condo in the future!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of four had a lovely time, greatly enjoying the properties, comfortable accommodations, thoughtful, amenities, and fantastic location on half Moon Bay within short, walking distance of several great restaurants and a short five minute drive to a dive shop and additional shopping and restaurants. We highly recommend eating at jungle Café, la Lunita, and AK Restaurant. It was also super convenient to have a small market literally across the street from the property to buy groceries and drinks. Being on half Moon Bay was also much more private and quieter than staying on Akumal Bay while still being very accessible to all the amenities of Akumal Bay and Plaza.

    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.

We wanted a relaxing vacation and it was just that. We golfed at a course only a few miles away, swam, ate delicious food and rested. The customer service and communication was excellent. Would go back again!

    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.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We talked to so many people and saw different properties online and in person and feel we made the best choice. Unobstructed ocean view is right - we could not get tired of this view and loved #8 because its balcony on the third floor jutted out. Kitchen set up - excellent though would have loved a better barbecue or grill on site or in the suite. Balcony - huge with room for lounger and table and chairs though would recommend upgrade from white plastic furniture. Loved pineapple, coffee and filtered water on arrival. Golf cart great but not necessary unless you have mobility issues - we rented bikes or walked the 2nd week. Car recommended if you want to visit places every second day with family.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second time back at Playa Caribbean. Unit eight. We found it exactly as we left it. It’s a perfect location. The seating around the pool is adequate and beautiful. I think it is the nicest located condo on half Moon Bay. The pool is a little hard to get out of when you were older it could use, a ladder or another step. The one complaint that I would have is they need to change the mattresses and pillows. They were pretty uncomfortable this time. It had a slight smell of mildew. But overall it was a really great and vacation.

    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!

    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.
