Beachfront 2 BR con las comodidades modernas y encanto mexicano

Another 5 star review for this beautiful beachfront property.

Pros: :

Location,Location, Location.

Its on the Akumal Half Moon bay as listed at the top of the bay, probably one of the best locations IMO on the bay and a huge plus in this location is that the stinking seaweed problem plaguing most of the Riviera Maya coastline is almost non-existent here.

Being on the ground floor is a huge plus here as you have an amazing view into the bay and windows in front open to feel and hear the sea breeze.

The unit has AC units in both the bedrooms and the main room and was a huge plus as it did get pretty hot at night even with the fans. During the day, AC is not needed as others have noted.

The king size beds in both bedrooms were extremely comfortable and our two boys slept on the couches in the main living room which they enjoyed.

Enough towels are there also to use for the beach or any water trips that one might do.

The unit is beautifully decorated and adds to the ambiance of the vacation. The owners were extremely responsive to our inquiries and gave us valuable info. As others have noted, having a vehicle is extremely helpful and almost necessary. The place is about a 10 minute drive from the main Akumal entrance. From the airport, it took us about 90 minutes to get to the condo.

The pool in the back of the condo is gorgeous and is heated and my boys kept going back and forth from the bay to the pool.

Yal Ku Lagoon behind the condo is also gorgeous but does cost $14 per person to go in. Use the road going straight back from the condo as the one on the right is more expensive. Its a 3-4 minute walk so not needed to use the more expensive location on the right.

I would highly recommend Xacaret parks, Xel Ha and Xplorer. They are about 25 minutes from the condo.

The stores at Akumal such as the Super Chomak have most basic amenities one needs but we did go to the Cheudrai in Peurto Aventuras the closest town and they have a good selection of groceries and sundries.

The restaurants in Akumal were decent and we had breakfast almost every day at Turtle Bay Bakery which probably is the best breakfast joint in Akumal. The view from La Buena Vida was amazing but the food was just OK.

I would recommend driving to Puerto Aventuras for dinner as they have a bigger selection of restaurants which is about a 20 minute drive from the condo.

I would highly highly recommend this condo for stays and we hope to back in the future ourselves.

Our family of 4 had a great time here.

It was nice and quiet.

The maid service was great and the house was always clean. Paul was prompt with responses to our queries and directions and instructions for access were clear. The property management company was very close by and always staffed. They even helped us get cheap tickets to XCaret. There are many restaurants close by with great food.

There is also a lagoon within walking distance which we really wanted to go to but ran out of time. We also went snorkeling at Akumal bay which was a lot of fun.

The views from this place are amazing and we usually slept with the windows wide open with the sea breeze going and sounds of waves.

When we were away, there were safes and locks for our valuables so we always felt secure in that front.

I would recommend this place highly.

If you could find a better spot on the Mayan Riviera, let us know, because Paul & Mona's place exceeded our wildest dreams. Being about 20 steps from the condo to some of the best snorkeling you'll find anywhere was beyond what we could've envisioned. The lounge chairs on the beach were ideal. Half Moon Bay is full of more colors of blue that you can imagine and the views are never to be forgotten. We love the beautiful, colorful town of Akumal with its small-town charm. The only challenge we had during our 5-night stay was the lack of hot water for a couple days. The problem was finally solved with Paul & Mona's help from afar. The beds are super comfortable and the air conditioning works well. Of all the great things we did on the trip, nothing could top the location of La Sirena #2. We wouldn't want to stay anywhere else...

My family of 4 stayed over Christmas and New Year. The view was phenomenal, the snorkeling ok; lots of fish, sea urchins, stingrays and we even saw squid! But the coral reefs are almost all dead in the immediate swimming area. The hosts were wonderful and very responsive. The location was close to many destinations while still tucked away for a quiet night. The description of the property is spot on. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the home was fantastic. Don't hesitate on booking!

My family (three kids, hubbie and I) just spend a wonderful five days at La Sirena #2. We were impressed with Paul and Mona's attentiveness and service while preparing for the trip, and when we arrived we found that thoughtfulness in apparent in the condo - from the lovely guest book, to the great selection of books and board games, to the well-appointed kitchen. Steps out back is the ever-changing bay and an entertaining selection of birds and animals. The kids enjoyed the pool and we all loved walking to dinner and playing board games in the lanai. Great vacation!
