Opposite the beach in the courtyard, beautiful gardens surround a large pool that includes a lap lane. It provides a shady lush contrast to our beach and bay. As a professional landscape designer, the gardens are my passion, so over the years, we've transformed the garden areas with many unique plants of the region, including many orchids, gingers, plumeria, dragon fruit and other tropical blooming plants. It's truly beautiful.
Akumal is sixty miles south of Cancun International Airport, south on the four lane, newly renovated highway 307. Half Moon Bay (HMB) is a designated ecological zone, with a vibrant living reef. While you are close to everything; it is very private and quiet. We are a quiet, laid-back area focused on our beautiful bay and beaches, snorkeling and pristine diving. Close by are Mayan ruins, golf, nature parks, cenotes, even active nightlife. This truly is the perfect place to create lifetime memories!

This is a special place and we couldn't have had a better holiday. The gardens are beautiful, the beach is idyllic and such a great spot - and the flat is super-cosy and charming.The area has so much to explore, I would recommend getting a car if you want to have a few adventures - and to buy food in the supermarkets. The lagoon, a few minutes away is a must, as is bringing some snorkeling gear and reef shoes to help explore the creatures in the bay. We enjoyed watching the land-based wildlife as well!Jungle Cafe nearby is very sweet, with good food and smoothies, and the deli near the lagoon sells amazing bread.We are very grateful to Diana for renting us this special place. Fran, who is onsite to help, is such a warm, approachable person. Everyone is nice and chilled :). Enjoy!
Amazing I just marked on the survey on question about Acurency of discripcion on line. I think this place is more than what is described on line. We have ha wonderful time.
Amazing views you can walk right out to the ocean from the backyard. Itâs very private peaceful. The police are literally across the street so you donât have to worry about any thing going on. The pool is nice in the middle of the property lots of vegetation and little animals running around. We had zero issues and zero problems the entire time that we were there we will definitely come back.
The best spot to stay in Akumal. The space is fantastic, comfortable, and has all the amenities you can ask for. The location is ideal for a quiet getaway thats still in walking distance to lots of conveniences. The grounds are fantastic - directly on a beautiful private quiet beach, and a really nice pool to cool off in. And the host - Diana - was super responsive, helpful, and easy to work with. I would absolutely 100% book this again, and recommend you do the same.
The premier place to stay in Akumal! La Sirena #1 is a beautiful 2 room unit, well stocked if you're cooking. ( which we didnt) a great enclosed patio leads you out the the private beach are and, out to the best snorkeling in Half Moon Bay! Also, a short walk or bicycle ride from Ya Ku Lagoon. A great place to spend a day snorkeling in a brackish water lagoon! Don't miss your chance to experience this amazing property yourself!
Staying at the Seascape condo was a wonderful experience. The apartment felt like home, as it was cosy and beautifully decorated, and especially because the kitchen was so well equipped you could virtually prepare anything. As we stayed there at the end of our trip we decided to relax and enjoy. We ate lunch in restaurants, shopped for groceries, prepared salads in the evening and watched sunset whilst reading the books we found in the library!
The views were breathtaking and it was so good to wake up with the sea right in front of the apartment. I initially had planned to book an apartment on the second floor but I did not regret at all having booked the ground floor for it was very practical and created space.
The swimming pool is beautiful and the personnel very friendly and helpful. Overall I certainly recommend booking it! Thank you very much Diana.
As advertised,great location on the ocean,nice pool,very near yal ku lagoon, comfy beds,well equipped kitchen.Restaurants within walking and nice quiet area.
We had a wonderful stay at Seascape and found it to be exactly as represented between the description and reviews. We would definitely stay there again. The condo was furnished with everything we desired and had a superb layout for our family of 4. Having a bottled water dispenser in the unit was a real plus! We enjoyed lounging on the screened in porch and enjoying the peaceful view of the bay.
The bay was warm for swimming but very shallow and you needed to wear water shoes at all times. Also, you can't rent snorkel gear in Akumal unless you are doing a guided experience unlike Hawaii. So if you are thinking of snorkeling yourself either bring your own gear or be prepared to purchase some.
This was our second stay at LaSirena Condominiums. It was again a fabulous stay. We arrived late on June 8th so waking up to the beauty of Halfmoon Bay from the window of our Seascape living room window was incredible. The condo was everything my family was looking for during our week long stay. Highly recommend this 2 bedroom/2 bath unit that is directly on the beach with great water and snorkeling at your door. The entire facility and staff make LaSirena a perfect stay.
We highly recommend checking out this condo! The amenities of the condo, the beautiful pool and beach, the location & the wonderful staff all made for a perfect vacation. We would definitely look at booking this location again.
Perfect location for snorkeling right outside and across a one lane road from our apartment. If you are looking for a home away from home, this is it. We felt safe, comfortable and would come back to stay here again.
Dianaâs condo was excellent. Diana sent lots of info before travel which really helped in understanding the location and units. La Sirena condos are the best condo units on Half Moon bay. Beautiful grounds full of trees, flowers. Beautiful pool. Serene, safe. Front ocean area no seaweed, fun snorkeling. We walked or rode bikes up street to small grocery store, 4 restaurants. Akumal is a quaint, small town. People so nice. Just around corner, within walking distance of this condo is the famous Ya-Kul lagoon. Condo beds, pillows etc comfy. TV, wi fi all work. Full kitchen, loved being on corner unit on ground floor. Walk right out to ocean and had room to wash off and dry gear. Loved the screened porch. Let me add that I was worried about security before I went. No need to worry. Full time maintenance man always around and cleaning crew. Full time security guy at night. National guard manned is across street from these condos. It was a great vacation. Favorite was sitting in chairs under palapa. There always was a beautiful breeze. You wonât have any regrets booking in this condo. While there met a couple from Dallas and a couple from Sacramento. Lots of space for everyone and really liked that La Sirena had only 24 units.
The condo was beautiful and VERY functional as described in the listing. Typical Mexican furniture which looks lovely but isn't very comfortable. Screened in porch a nice touch for those downpours! The A/C is excellent. You can leave it off and it cools off really quickly when you come in. There is a unit in the living/kitchen area plus a unit in each bedroom. They are right about the seaweed. Where the condo is located very little blows in to that side of the bay, it all goes over to the La Buena Vida side. The beach property and the gardens are taken care of beautifully! The exterior of the building is in sad shape. In fact when our airport transfer dropped us off he said "oh oh" because the exterior of the building on the street looks terrible, but when you walk in the gardens are gorgeous and the condo itself in good shape. Nice pool but shallow pleasure pool only. The "lane" pool is short and shallow. The complex was pleasingly quiet, even when there are children playing there. The beach is definitely a snorkel beach but it is VERY shallow and rough. Challenging to get in and out of because you need to have water shoes that fit inside your flippers because you need to either walk a long way with your flippers (I am terrible at that) or walk in your water shoes and then put your flippers on in the deeper water over them. Once you are in I thought it was good snorkeling. Saw a turtle, 4 rays, squid, eels, and a large variety of fish. It is very windy so fins are helpful. All in all, I would recommend this condo highly.
We stayed in Dianaâs lovely condo for 30 days, & we werenât ready to leave. Quiet, safe, comfortableâŠlots to do, but we mostly loved hanging out by the beach just steps from the back door. Yal-ku Lagoon was a couple of blocks away, & snorkeling there was like being in a beautiful salt water fish tankâŠbut it was the real thing! Snorkeled with a guide at Akumal Beach and saw 7 sea turtles! The gorgeous bay at the condo was also wonderful snorkeling. Our favorite restaurant was La Lunitas - great margs - and we enjoyed the beach bar vibe at La Buena Vida. Turtle Bay Cafe and Cueva del Pescador both had wonderful food, and Taverna had great pizza & lovely ambiance. A few day trips to visit the ruins at Tulum & Coba, plus a couple of cenotes (Crystalino was our favorite), and we just had a perfect vacation. Diana was readily available, & the property manager Francesca was always on the property if needed. We had not planned to rent a car, but Diana encouraged us to do so, & I was so glad she did. While Akumal is small, it is spread out, & a car was definitely worthwhile. We definitely recommend this idyllic spot & hope to return.
I spoke with the owner before my stay. She assured me that as a female traveling alone that her location was safe. When I arrived there were bars on the windows and door. There were 3 locks on the front door. It was also advertised as on the beach. There was a rock wall with a 3 foot drop to water and rocks. There was not a beach at all.
I left as soon as I arrived. It took me hours to find another place to stay. I was driving around in the dark. It was a terrible experience.
I called the owner and she did not pick up or return my call.
Iâll be honest, when we pulled up I was a little scared. The outside looks sketchy. However, the National Guard is across the street - and then once you go inside the gate the condo is deeper past the pool, right on the beach. It was absolutely stunning. So long story short, donât let the outside fool youâŠ.it was super late and dark when we pulled up after a long day of travel. We would for sure stay here again. We rented a car and explored Tulum. Loved it!!
