The best unit in all of Akumal. The unit set up is thoughtful, comfortable and beautiful. The big window is a show stopper. You will not see anything like it anywhere else. The cleaning crew does fantastic job! They come every day and no sand on the floor. The kitchen has everything you need, plus owner provided paper towels, iodine cleaning solution ( for fruits and veggies), coffee! and water. There was also salt and sugar. There is no dishwasher , but cleaning crew will do dishes. Bathrooms are beautiful clean and soap, beginner shampoo are provided. There is no washer and dryer in the unit or the building. The owner has offsite laundry service arranged, ask receptionist. The beach: there is sand for kids to play but the strip of sand is narrow. To enter water, there are rocks large and small so you must have water shoes and be careful. The bay is all private beach: very few people. Because of rocks and reefs, the bay is GREAT for snorkeling. There is also Yal Ku in walking distance, that is is great for small children to see fish. Neighborhood is quiet. Close by there 2 restaurants on the beach. Both good. There is a small convenience store near by. Near the city beach: There are more restaurants , small grocery store and shops 10min drive, 30min walk. We visited city beach : $6/person entrance The city beach easy water entrance ( almost no rocks) but you have to make camp in front of hotels. The only public, public area is covered with boats. The water is usually calmer in Akumal bay than Half moon bay. One trip to city beach was enough. We stayed in Half Moon bay for rest of vacation. Akumal is very convinent to visit Tulúm ruins and closer to Coba and Chichen Itzá. You need to have a car though taxis are readily available. Rental of golf carts is $40/day. In summary, if you are planning to stay in Akumal, this unit is absolutely the best option.
