Why the Owner Chose Akumal
Half Moon Bay is a wonderful very low-density populated community. We love feeling as though we are truely away from it all, but still being only 15 minutes from everything. And our complex, La Sirena, being at the end of the road has more space than anywhere else in the area. So we have a wonderful large pool, as well as gardens and no crowds on the beach. The set up of our building is such that it feels more like attached houses, not condos.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
We love sitting anywhere in the condo and having a fabulous view and gardening on our grounds. We love to go snorkeling right out in our bay, seeing the baby fishes that have just hatched, and swimming with the turtles. And then in the evenings at dusk walking the beach watching the flocks of pelicans fly inland for the night, and then grilling out on our beach and watching the sun go down.
Owner's Map of Akumal
My husband and I have always loved vacationing to and experiencing different cultures. And for some reason we could never get enough beach or snorkeing time! We dreamed of owning our own 2nd home, and when we came to Akumal in 1995, it set the standard for our dream. We wanted to create our little slice of paradise with all the ideas that we had gathered, and providing the perfect casual, luxury getaway for ourselves and our guests.

This was a trip filled with 'firsts.' First trip to Mexico, first snorkeling, first trip to Coba . . . It was ALL fantastic. And Sea Scape was the perfect place to experience it all. There are so many things to do nearby it was hard to choose. Also a great place to just kick back away from the hustle and bustle of everyday living. You could hang out by the pool or snorkel. Several good area restaurants as well if not in the mood to cook for yourself. Sea Scape is everything it is advertised to be. Nicely decorated with all the comforts of home. I am not sure what I really expected but this was so much more than anticipated.

More beautiful than the pictures: a breathtaking and wonderfully appointed condo in a stunning setting. The rooms were exotic, colorful and immaculate and the kitchen area had everything one wanted to make cooking a pleasure. And they all had terrific views and with a gentle tropical breeze that made air conditioning totally unnecessary! After our many outings to the lagoon (amazing to walk a few blocks and snorkel in warm, clear waters teeming with tropical fish), or the beaches or Mayan ruins, we relished coming back to La Sirena and the condo. Diana, the owner, was very helpful with everything and her love and enthusiasm for the area show not only in her many suggestions but in the care she has taken to create such a lovely home to share with her guests. Everyone from the landscape workers to the housekeeping and management staff were helpful and friendly to our family. We would recommend this area and specifically this complex and this condo without reservation.

I needed a girls trip for my special B-Day, and decided on Akumal and then SeaScape. I sent months looking for the right location and then the right condo. There were so many options, but it was all in the details. Everything was perfect. Akumal, the beaches, the snorkeling, and especially the condo. There was plenty of room for the five of us. Very comfortable, and nice. I have never slept so well as in the condo. And we really liked all the extra touches. The owner, Diana was so helpful in planning, even helping us to best use our time at Seascape. One week was not enough. Next time we are bringing husbands!

We spent a great week at this condo this past in August, and just loved it. The condo was perfectly outfitted, everything in great condition with many extras that made our stay very comfortable. This was not your typical condo. The condo is larger than the most 2 bedrooms, bright, and nicely designed. We especially liked the beach side screened porch. Our daughter loved watching the jungle animals at night from this. La Sirena's gardens are incredible, and we liked that the condo wasn't up against the road like a lot of them on this bay. The location was perfect, we felt we had plenty of privacy but were close to everything. We spent more time than we had planned to at the condo because the views, and the snorkeling is the best in the area. The owner, Diana, was extremely helpful in recommendations, to help balance down time and active time. This was a perfect vacation. We are definely coming back again: same time next year! Akumal it;sef was very nice, quiet . For once, the photos are actually NOT as good as reality. The views were drop dead gorgeous.

Breathtaking vistas of Half Moon Bay from this well appointed condo. Well designed & wonderfully decorated, the floor plan works for up to 5 persons. The condo is well equipped & supplied with cooking utensils & all other needs. The mattresses in the bedrooms are ultimate comfort. Well landscaped & maintained, the courtyard is a blaze of tropical color & greenery & surrounds a beautiful swimming pool. Conveniently located within walking distance to Yal Cuu Lagoon. The owner is friendly & helpful & easy to work with. You won't regret your stay here. p.s. The only drawback is that water access is a swim over living coral and the beaches are rocky here.

Unbelievable Mexico Vacation

I wanted to extend a special "Thank You" to the lovely couple who rent this condo. The condo and its location are unbeatable! I am so glad my family had the opportunity to explore Mexico with the comfort of knowing each night we would be resting up at the Seascape. It really is a secluded paradise away from all the tourism! We enjoyed all of the little conveniences such as the kitchen, two bedrooms and bathrooms (great when your traveling with kids),and TV in English! All the "little extras" were a great bonus. Oh and let's not forget the pool. It is a great place to start or end an adventurous day, we loved it! We snorkeled directly at the beach in front of the condo on a daily basis and observed different sea creatures each day. We also walked to Akumal Bay and snorkeled with the sea turtles. There we saw eels, a barracuda and several different fish. I must note though that snorkeling at Half Moon Bay was slightly better due to the clarity of the water. We headed to the Lagoon one day and that was worth the experience! The water was cool and crisp, great for a cool down, and the fish were amazing. The family also enjoyed going to Coba one of the days. This was an experience that will never be forgotten. My one word of advise for anyone making the trip to Coba is pay for the bicyclist to transport you due to the extreme distance between Mayan sites. Another great adventure was to the Grand Cenote. This is unusually cool, freshwater snorkeling in caves. My eleven year old son and I deeply enjoyed this because we are the thrill seekers in the family and it was dark snorkeling in some areas! Choosing Seascape was the perfect location to do all that we did and more. I must admit after traveling all over this area in Mexico, this condo is in a central location to so many activities. I'm so glad we picked this area! All in all we had a grand time and I am sure we have discovered a permanent vacation destination. Again, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Ya'll are giving more than just a place to stay on vacation, you're giving families the opportunity to make memories that will last a lifetime. Until we rent again!!!!

Best Family Vacation Ever

We just returned from Akumal last Friday. This was our first international family trip and I am so happy that we chose Sea Scape at La Sirena. We appreciate all of the helpful information that the owners gave to us to prepare for our trip. Our girls loved the proximity to the bay and the view of the Caribbean was spectacular. The pool area was a tropical paradise with birds flying overhead and iguanas lounging beside it in the sun. The girls, 7 and 10, even named the iguana at the pool, since we saw him every day. The Playa Paradise staff, including Miriam and Inez, were fabulous and always made sure we were comfortable. We also loved the Akumal Beach snorkeling and Yal Kul Lagoon, both of which are only 5 minutes away. This was a great time of year to go, as we were one of the only families in the complex and only shared the pool with one other family the whole time we were there. If you want great family times or a romantic place to vacation, Sea Scape is the place for you!

Well, sadly we are all done with our time away at Seascape! Again, we just had the most wonderful time. It was some much needed time away, and we feel so fortunate that it was in such a paradise as your condo in Akumal! Everything in the unit worked great. The morning view of the Caribbean is unforgettable! You have the condo supplied well with all the kitchen and everyday needs one may have. The place is also managed very well by the staff at Playa Paradise. Very professional and courteous! We enjoyed all that Akumal has to offer (or at least everything we could make time for on this trip!) We will definitely be back!

This was our third trip to Akumal and second to stay at SeaScape. While Playa del Carmen is still growing and becoming a mini-Cancun, Akumal is still small and quaint. Snorkeling in Half Moon Bay is best right in front of the condo, we couldn't get enough of it. It is somewhat rocky going in, but it is rocky everywhere in the bay. Following the owner's, Diana's directions, we found a new beach and several local restaurants in the jungle. Some of our most enjoyable times was relaxing at the end of the day watching the wildlife from the beach. Our location was perfect. As for the condo,we didn't think it could get better but it did. Everything is kept updated and well-maintained, you don't feel as though you are in the Yucatan. The owner, Diana is here often which shows in the overall quality of everything in the condo. Lots of extras that make the difference between very good and excellent: beach umbrellas, chairs and coolers, reading lamps, extremely well stocked kitchen, and wonderful linens. You're in a wonderful home here not a rental. It was truely perfection.

We had a wonderful time, we had twelve beautiful days on the beach and in the bay. The condo is beautiful, the grounds were lovley and the maintenance folks could not have been more accomodating and attentive, it was all just great. We did all our own cooking, or brought back sachels of pre-cooked chicken/pork from Tulum and made meals of it with fresh tortillas from town. The kitchen was very well equipped, we were pleasantly surprised! We took a turtle walk with the CEM our last night in Akumal, which we would recommend, we saw a female green sea turle come up on the beach, and saw a nest hatch and helped the babies make their way to the ocean. It was a nice way to end the trip, very moving and memorable. We’ll be back , we loved the bay, the town, the road with the little shops, everything. -- Holly, Chris and Eric from Boston
