Avis Garden View Studio perfect for 2 steps away from Half Moon Bay beach, Akumal.

Great fresh space. AC, coffee pot, blender and stove top worked well. Plenty of clean bottled drinking water. Steps to the beach with comfortable lounge chairs. Private garden patio with beautiful table. I would stay again. Thank you!

Very good has everything you need

I hate to give a less than stellar review of this property because the management and staff are wonderful and the unit is very cute and well outfitted. My family stayed next door this same week last year and had one of the best vacations we've ever had! We fell in love with Akumal!!! The snorkelling was incredible, the beach was very nice, and the turtle nesting was an unforgettable experience for everyone in our family. Sure, there were a couple of days when the seaweed was annoying and smelly, but it was short lived and only a minor annoyance. We had been excited for this return trip all year and convinced other family members to join us, expecting another amazing week. We rented the penthouse next door again, but also this unit to serve as a first floor bathroom and refuge from the sun so my mother wouldn't be up and down steps all day and night while we were on the beach - as we were last year. We never ended up using it. We had read reviews about the sargasso seaweed being a problem, but figured we knew what we were getting into. I was horrified to see the reality of Akumal and HMB this year!!! The sargasso is overwhelming! The waterline around the entire bay - except for the very northernmost point by the reef - is blocked by mounds of sargasso that are sometimes 3-4 feet high. The first 100 feet of water is a field of brown, stinky seaweed. Water entry was difficult, itchy, and hazardous (due to the rocky bottom that you can't see) unless we walked to the end of the bay near La Sirena. There is an empty lot beside La Buena Vida that is now filled with a pile of the stuff more than 10 feet high that you have to walk over on a path to get to the restaurant via the beach. The stench is nauseating as soon as you open the car door or a condo window in HMB and in 8 days we never got used to it. This is no fault of the businesses, many workers were out every morning at sunrise raking up the sargasso and hauling it off in trashcans, only to watch just as much as they removed (or more) wash in again daily. We ended up filling our beach vacation with day trips to escape the smell. This week last year there were nearly 200 turtle nests. We would see at least 2 turtles a night come up to nest. This year there were only 40 nests and not a single turtle came up the entire week. I hate to say this, but if you're looking for a beach or going for the turtles,I would recommend looking elsewhere for now. It's sad to see what's happening.

Dated but in that cute Mexican style. Room was next to staff/cleaning room which was a bit noisy...which was not mentioned in any bio I saw of the room. Bay was full of seaweed but that’s just the luck of the draw and season. Staff were friendly. Location perfect! Walking distance from great restaurant and driving from either Carmen or Tulum...Cobá etc.

Cute little place which is perfect for a couple. I stayed alone and had plenty of space to cook and to lounge. Only steps from the beach made my afternoons super relaxing. Also, the three restaurants up and down the bay are fantastic.

This was the perfect location and the perfect sized condo! We loved it and we enjoyed our time immensely! Just steps away from the beach, which was quiet and not overrun! The condo had everything we needed and the maids did a wonderful job of picking up after us. We will be asking for this condo again! It was the best weekend getaway ever!
