Heavenly Breezes

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: Once again we had a fabulous time staying at Yool Caanal. We feel so well taken care of by our housekeepers and Daniel the groundskeeper.Morning coffees on the balcony, one or two snorkels a day, the shade of a palapa on the beach and the constant wind that makes even the hottest day pleasant are things we love about our stays. The only negative is watching people walking in the bay where small corals start as soon as you are knee deep and seeing locals fishing and spearfishing in the bay which is a protected area - I wish something could be done to make people understand the damage they are doing.
Response from VrboOwner on 27 May 2026
Thank you Colin, it’s always a pleasure to welcome you back to Yool Caanal. We’re so glad you continue to enjoy the peaceful rhythm of staying there, and we’ll be sure to share your kind words with the housekeeping team and Daniel. We also appreciate your thoughtful comments about protecting the bay and its reef ecosystem. Let us know when you're ready to join us again, and we'll gladly help you plan another great vacation.

2/10 Terrible

Poor management service

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stayed July 2026. Very dissatisfied with the customer service. We booked the condo for two separate stays. I arrived at 10:00pm, after the check in office closed, but unfortunately I was not able to inform them of my late arrival time. At 10:00pm arrival I was not able to get into the condo for over two hours despite calling the emergency number for immediate help. It was hot and humid making the wait unbearable. This scenario repeated itself on the second check in date. The condo was clean and felt safe and the cleaning staff was polite, but not considered a good value for money.
Response from VrboOwner on 29 Jul 2026
Hi Ben, Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the delay accessing your condo during both late-night arrivals. That isn't the experience we want for our guests, and we're reviewing our after-hours response procedures. We're glad you found the condo clean and our housekeeping team courteous. We appreciate your comments and the opportunity to improve.

One of the greatest views. A few steps and your in the ocean. Exactly what we were looking for. Only downfall is that there is only AC in the bedrooms. Which we knew going in. Open a window and a door and we had a good breeze. Highly recommend staying here.

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: We have rented this condo many times. We love to stay here in the summer and see the turtles laying and hatching. This is a coral beach and a small reef system is just a swim away. If you stay April-October the turtles lay nests and hatch. Ariel manages this condo and he is wonderful. Housekeeper Valentina is a joy! Condo is always clean and well maintained with great AC and a smart TV in the living room. There is no pool here and it is quiet and relaxing.

Amazing!

We loved our 9 day stay at Yool Caanal! Just as advertised. Daily cleaning was incredible. Valentina's attention to detail and the cleanliness of the unit was impressive. The beach out front was beautiful and the view from each room of the Caribbean was paradise. There is so much to do in the area. We loved snorkeling, swimming in the cenotes, the ocean and the Bio Reserve. Nearby, the Yal Ku Lagoon was amazing and filled with so many beautiful fish for snorkeling. Our advice would be to not take a tour to it, but walk down and just pay your entrance fee for the morning or afternoon...you can stay as long as you want! We recommend Karaoke night at Buena Vida also nearby. Our teenage boys thoroughly enjoyed this trip. Thank you for a wonderful accommodation and experience while we were there!

Wonderful Week at Yool Caanal #5

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: My husband and I stayed at Yool Caanal Unit 5 12/25/21 - 1/1-22 and we had such a great experience. The location of this condo on Half Moon Bay is perfect if you are looking for something away from the more crowded Akumal beach area. We rented bicycles for the week which was a perfect way to get to the restaurants and shops in Akumal and Akumal Pueblo. The condo itself was beautiful and exactly as described. The folks at Akumal Direct were so very responsive and helpful with all the reservation details and even offered a discount due to some construction going on next door. Absolutely no complaints; would definitely stay here again (and again).
