We read reviews of this place on TA and decided to make the trip. It's about an hour from the Cancun airport but a straight shot. It is beautiful when you drive all the way in to half moon bay. Passing the dive shops and a few stores and restaurants. Our place was situated in the middle of half moon bay and has a great view of the ocean
We had the 3 bdrm which was very spacious for our 3 kids and the grandparents. Each room had its own bathroom, so everyone had their own space. House was fully equipped with all the needs and they kept a 5 gallon jug of purified water refreshed every day. Great breeze 24-7. Maid showed up each day at about 10 and was spectacular.
Front desk would help with any needs. They were just a few steps away. There are a few Del Sol properties, and we were situated between two very small convenience stores - making them very convenient. Believe it or not, they really had every single thing you could need, and even though the prices were a little higher than the larger store (about 10 min away) they were still lower than anything we would pay in the States. Plus they are fully stocked with liquor beer and wine.
Beach was fantastic. We are exactly in the middle of the bay, and while it is a little rocky as you get in, it is probably the best spot in Half Moon Bay for enjoying the beach, which is literally right out the door. The pool is part of La Buena restaurant - and probably a 5 minute hike up the beach. really easy tho and they are great over there.
Kids spent most of the night with headlamps chasing Sand Crabs and hermit crabs. Of course, we were there in the start of the turtle egg season, so we had a few people remind us to switch to red light. The night before we left was the first turtle sighting and it seems like they really do like to lay their eggs on that beach.
Location is perfect - plenty to do in Akumal - swim with the turtles, go to Yal-Ku - and everything else I mentioned. The rest is just a short car ride away.
Would recommend this place to anyone. Great family escape and not trapped in some major resort!
