Enjoy a relaxing vacation on the beautiful, white sandy beach of Half Moon Bay in Akumal ("Place of the Turtle" in the Mayan language). Walk out your patio door and be directly on the beach. Wake up to the songs of tropical birds and the soothing sounds of the waves. Watch spectacular sunrises from your patio or bedroom each morning. Sip margaritas while digging your toes into the sand and watching the sea turtles pop up their heads above the beautiful turquoise water. Enjoy beautiful star-gazing at night.

Akumal is a quiet, residential beach side community located about 50 miles south of the Cancun Airport on a well-paved highway. This small town and the nearby area offer many fine restaurants and plenty of opportunities for snorkeling, diving, swimming, caving, biking, bird watching, or just plain relaxing on the beach. That is the beauty of this place - you can enjoy many activities or simply relax on a beach chair under the palms.

From our airy and spacious condo at La Bahia, you can walk barefoot to two restaurants/beach bars, relax and read under the palms or one of our palapas with 180-degree views of the sea, or snorkel in the bay, only yards from your patio, where sea turtles and tropical fish abound. The sandy beach is never crowded.

This two-bedroom/two-bath unit of 1,125 square feet includes new appliances as well as new air conditioning and ceiling fans, although tropical breezes often make these unnecessary. The condo has been renovated recently with all new tile floors, newly painted rooms, curtains, and upholstered sofa cushions. The open floor plan includes large windows on three sides of the living room and is decorated with live tropical plants and palms and Mexican artifacts. The Caribbean Sea can be viewed from all rooms.

The master bedroom (king-sized bed) and guest room (two twin-sized beds) both have ample closet space. Daily maid service is available, and beach towels are provided. Cell phone and wireless Internet service are available, so bring your cell and laptop, if you wish. Phone and Internet services are also available at an Internet café in town.

The town of Akumal, a short walk from the condo, has two markets (with ATM machines and enough food items to meet your needs); seven restaurants (one with live entertainment a few nights a week during high season); three dive shops; travel office; fresh produce market twice a week; several shops and boutiques; yoga classes and fitness center; bike rentals; laundromat; and more. Two small convenience stores are located just a block or so from La Bahia.

The CEA (Centro Ecologica Akumal) provides information on sea turtles and other marine life. Akumal is ecologically protected and well known for its sea turtles and their nesting grounds. In fact, turtles nest on our beach. The season lasts from April-October, and the CEA can arrange viewing tours for an incredible experience. Try snorkeling or diving in one or more of the area's many beautiful freshwater cenotes.

Playa del Carmen (22 miles) has great shopping and restaurants, two large supermarkets, golf courses, and a bird sanctuary in nearby Playacar. You can swim with the dolphins at Puerto Aventuras (12 miles), which also has manatee and sea lion shows, restaurants, and shopping. Tulum (about 20 minutes south) has restaurants, shopping, sightseeing, and five miles of pristine beaches. Don't miss the Tulum Mayan ruins, a unique sea-cliff site; the entrance is on the left shortly before the town. Just south of Tulum is the fantastic Sian Ka'an Biosophere. Drive there yourself (check on road conditions first) or arrange a tour through our reception office.

    • We spent ten beautiful days at your condo and we can say only good things about it! The condo was cozy and clean! The cleaning ladies did a great job every day to keep it spotless. The ocean was beautiful and very worm; great place for snorkeling: a lot of fish, beautiful corals and turtles. The staff in La Bahia was very nice and helpful. We are definably coming back!

    • We just returned last evening from your piece of heaven. It was WONDERFUL. The condo was perfect. The sunrise from the patio was awesome and the full moon dancing off the bay directly in front of the condo was breath taking! I am so glad we found your place and will return in the near future! I am still in awe with just my memories!!!!!

      Thanks so much for the use of your condo. The pictures were great, but to see it in person was amazing. It was so nice to walk out of the unit right onto the beach. Good choice for a home away from home.

      We're completely blown away by Akumal and your condo. The beach and the ocean are just stunningly beautiful, and we've fallen in love with the town and the feel of the place. The staff at La Bahia couldn't have been nicer and more helpful. Thanks so much for sharing your place with us!

      The condo was beautiful, clean, and perfect for our family of five. Very convenient for the kids to run and play in the sand right out the door while the baby was sleeping. The snorkeling was phenomenal. The weather was beautiful every day. I'm missing the gorgeous view from the condo right now, and we took lots of pictures to remind us of this fantastic trip! The staff at La Bahia were very attentive and wonderful. What a terrific job they all do to make sure everyone is comfortable and happy.

      We had a wonderful time at your place. We had never been to Mexico as a family, and we were so, so pleased with Akumal in general and the condo in particular. The instructions you sent us were also very helpful. The staff onsite was superb. Wally gave us wonderful beach recommendations. Javier picked and husked coconuts for our kids. Landi was friendly and thorough in cleaning - we felt very welcomed by them.

      We loved the condo. I hated to leave. We got so comfortable there and really made it home. The children loved the beach and the hammock. We had breakfast every morning on the patio after I walked to Turtle Bay Cafe to pick up pastries. On our second day we went to the nearby lagoon and then to Akumal Bay - both were great for the kids. We found the people, both local and tourists, to be very warm and welcoming, and we loved the small-town atmosphere. I am still carrying the memory with me; it was such a special place and time for our family, I loved every minute of it.

      Thank you so much for sharing your condo in the beautiful place. It was so much more than what we thought it would be. Fantastic beaches and snorkeling. We enjoyed dinners on the patio, watching the turtles. The staff works so hard, and they were wonderful.

      Our family reunited here for a relaxing week. Most mornings consisted of walks, runs, or lap swimming in Yal-Ku Lagoon, followed by breakfasts of coffee and fruit from the market out on the balcony. We sighted many sea turtles including a grand finale last night when one came to lay its eggs next to the neighbor's patio! For other wildlife, we saw iguanas and lizards, a small monkey playing behind the parking lot, colorful birds, blue crabs, hermit crabs, and the neighborhood cat! Thanks for having us!

      What a magical spot you have here - it was perfect. We greatly enjoyed having our morning coffee out on the beach each morning and then spending the day exploring the area. In the evening, it was so relaxing to just kick back in your very comfortable condo. Last night we experienced a wonderful carnival and bullfight with the locals. This evening we had a wonderful cook come in to cook us a Mayan meal. We've fallen in love with Akumal and will definitely be coming back.
