So beautiful! When you open the door the view is breathtaking. The ocean on one side and the pool/gardens on the other. We loved everything about it! The neighborhood is great too. It was just fantastic! It was our 30th wedding anniversary and it was perfect. Next time we'll take the unit on the 1st floor. Our knees are creaky! Lol!

The property is located in a very nice gated community with a few restaurants and bars within walking distance. There is no sand beach right in front of the condo, but one can easily access close by other sand beaches within the gated community. You can still swim or snorkel in front of the condo, but protective swim shoes are definitely recommended. The condo was very clean and the view of the sea from the living room and front balcony is amazing. We had a great time!

LaSirena 13 is a beautiful retreat in Akumal. On the North end of Half Moon Bay, it is a quiet and serene condo, decorated in a traditional Mexican style. The private balcony off the master has a beautiful view of the courtyard (that is stunning). And the back-facing balcony provides beautiful views of the Bay all day long. A couple things to note: the living area seating is not very comfortable - the “sofas” are cement benches with thin cushions, so bring some blankets, and Unit 13 is a third floor walk-up, so be mindful if you have trouble with stairs. Finally, you can walk right out back to snorkel in the Bay, where we saw a variety of tropical fish and rays. Overall, Sirena 13 is a quaint retreat in an equally charming, friendly town. We’ll be back!

We loved our stay in La Sirena #13. The condo was very clean and we appreciated the daily housekeeping. The grounds and pool are spectacular and well-maintained. Although steps from the beach, we actually never snorkeled in the bay that was our backyard, due to choppy seas and high wind. We did, however, walk over to Yal-Ku Cenote, literally minutes away, and snorkeled in the cenote all day, twice. Very cool! We also ate at several local restaurants favoring Lol Ha over the others for its waterfront location, great service and good food. The concierge, David, was extremely helpful and quick to respond. On his recommendation we hired a local driver through Namaste, who took us to La Tortuga Cenotes (Tulum was closed) and on another day, to the Coba ruins and Choo-Ha cenote. Marcia at Akumal was also extremely helpful, friendly and a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be back.

We stayed here for 3 nights and enjoyed our stay. The location is very nice at the north end do Half Moon Bay. There is a nice restaurant ( La Lunita) a short walk away and a fun beach bar on the south end of the bay. The place itself is large and pretty clean but a bit tired. The hot water did not work one day and some wall lights flickered annoyingly. The kitchen has most of what you’ll need. Despite that the balcony is what sold this space for us and we spent lots of time there. The beach area has many chairs And lots of shade from the palm trees. However you cannot really swim in the bay from this spot as it is very rocky. But there is a beautiful beach not far away. Overall I recommend this place.

El lugar es increíble, el mejor snorkel que eh hecho en Mexico. El departamento esta un poco descuidado, los platos estaban sucios de comida cuando llegamos, y las toallas de playa con manchas de salsa. La instalación eléctrica tiene problemas, varios contactos echan chispas al conectar, y la presión del agua es muy baja en las regaderas. El wifi no sirvió durante toda la estancia, el anfitrión fue muy amable y nos ofreció opciones y acabo dándonos un reembolso del wifi, sin embargo si causo problemas no tenerlo disponible. El departamento necesita mantenimiento sin embargo el lugar es increíble, las vistas maravillosas

I have never had such an amazing Airbnb experience. First AkumalDirect messaged me saying that there was a lot of seaweed on the shore and that it would impact my vacation. I thought this was thoughtful but then they went beyond and above and upgraded our apartment to this one here. The apartment was beyond beautiful. It had modern touches like Netflixs and all the kitchen gadgets you could dream of but it was also so homey. It felt like a home away from home. The local cenote was still closed but we were able to buy some snorkelling gear at OXXO and head over to the Lagoon to see some amazing sea life. You have everything you need to cook including oils and amazing seasoning. Breathtaking views. You don't want to miss it!

We had the best time in this amazing property : big, beautiful, clean.... there is no words ! The unit has a great terrace with a 180 degrés view on the most prettiest bay : the sea color are amazing ! The complex is beautifully maintained and secured by really nice people and the pool is BIG ! Akumal has a great community vibe with nice restaurants. It is quiet and we were so happy to stay there rather Tulum or Playa de Carmen (both are easily reachable) There were A LOT of alguae at those 2 places and it was impossible to swim but half moon bay was fine. We did the best snorkeling right in front of the complex : we saw a turtle, squids and lots of colorful fishes of all size ! Whitney made a very detailed “manual” with all informations you could need about the place, restaurant, snorkeling.... thank you for a lovely family holiday !

My husband and I just had a wonderful experience staying in this Condo. The view is just spectacular! beautiful and private, absolutely perfect for a romantic getaway. You are definitely hit with the wow factor as soon as you are standing in front of that magnificent view and enjoying the cooling breeze. The condo has absolutely everything you may need for your stay. It truly felt like home away from home. It is extremely cozy, comfortable, right in front of Akumal Bay, in a very serene section, but a couple of minutes away from the main action of Akumal Beach, where people go to swim with the turtles. We stayed for 9 days, and probably six out of those nine days we had the beach to ourselves. You can opt to swim right in front of your condo and enjoy serene privacy, or you can drive approximately 5 minutes to the entrance to swim with the turtles. Response from Whitney was prompt via email, and she and her husband did everything to make our stay at the condo a great experience. The Wi-Fi signal was strong throughout and we didn’t have any blackouts. There is no conventional cable in the condo, but the main TV has Roku for the premium channels like Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Hulu Plus, HBO GO, Pandora, etc.; however, you need to already have an account with those services to be able to watch their content through Roku. I happened to bring my Chromecast which I connected to one of the TV’s HDMI and it worked great; again, the Wi-Fi signal was strong enough to seamlessly cast from my smartphone/laptop to the TV. With the windows open, the tropical breeze flows deliciously throughout the condo and there were only a few nights that we felt the need to turn on the AC in the main area. There is already drinking water in the Condo which was replenished by the cleaning lady, Letty, whom was wonderful. We procured her services to have our clothes washed a couple of days before our return. She will knock on the door to ask if you would like cleaning service, and it is up to you how often you want it. We asked her to come by on the days we knew we were going to be out all day, and opted out for those days that we wanted to sleep in late and just relax. It was an amazing experience, perfect for romantic getaway and I recommend this condo for anyone that doesn’t have a problem going up the stairs to the third floor. I absolutely assure you that you will love it as much as we did.

Stayed at La Sirena for 5 nights. The condo is on the third floor overlooking Half Moon Bay. There are ceiling to floor windows facing the ocean, so you can look out from the living room, dining room (and even the master bedroom). There is also a nice porch overlooking the ocean, as well as another porch facing the courtyard off of the master bedroom. The unit was in good shape and provided plenty of room. The cleaning lady came every day to make the beds, sweep, and tidy up (which is not typical when you rent an apartment or condo). Management was very nice and helpful. The pool area is nice and offers shad for those who can't (or don't want) be in the sun too much. You can snorkel off the beach. We did it once, without a lot of luck (we are spoiled however, as we've snorkeled in Bonaire and Belize...beginning snorkelers will find it quite nice). Had some issues with the air conditioner in the second bedroom, but they found an inflatable bed that we put in the living room and it worked out fine. Beware of the physical location. If you do not get a rental car, you'll be doing a lot of walking. There are two or three restaurants that are close enough. Beyond that, you walk back into "town" down the road a piece. We had planned to use taxis and collectivos, but when we arrived, we realized quickly that we needed a rental car. The property manager was very helpful in getting us a rental car delivered from Alamo. But I would not advise waiting until the last minute, as you are at the mercy of the rental car companies - we paid $82 per day! All in all, a nice, quiet place to spend 5 days.

Wow on all levels with this condo! The owner communication, location, calm atmosphere, amenities... and oh my goodness, the view! We had such an amazing time at La Sirena... even though we were unlucky enough to get a bit of weather, it was still such a wonderful vacation. We just tried to imagine that the condo was ours and we'd be able to visit whenever we wanted, to combat the sadness we felt to leave this little slice of amazing! We had tons of TV channels to watch and because of the strong WiFi, we also used Netflix (since it was raining pretty good at times- with lightning! Awesome!). The owner also provides a bunch of DVDs and books for your use. The place was kept beautifully clean during our stay with daily cleaning visits from the lovely people who work there, and a very comfortable bed to sleep in. The A/C worked great in both the main living area as well as the bedroom, when we needed it. After the storm, I noticed that it was actually pretty neat that the north end of Half Moon Bay is a little rocky because all the beautiful beaches south of us were covered with tons of seaweed, so the lounging beach at La Sirena was beautifully clean while others were covered in seaweed, which was nice for our last two days. We went snorkeling, and though the weather kicked up some sand into the water, we still saw tons of fish- Cuddle-fish, Needle-fish, Sergent Majors, Blue Tangs, Bluehead Wrasse, Peacock Flounder, Parrot-fish, Trunk-fish, French Angel fish (some of the biggest I've ever seen!) Squirrel-fish, and a Southern Ray. Wear reef/water shoes, head out to the sand, then put on your mask/snorkel/fins and head towards the dark spots out in the middle of Half Moon Bay. You'll find tons of awesome reef-heads out there. We even saw a big ray in the water, right from the condo deck! The pool was lovely when it didn't look very fun to get into the ocean (rough), and the grounds around the pool are so beautiful and tropical. It's also really nice to have a shaded pool for when it's hot mid-day. The kitchen was very well-appointed, with a nice-sized fridge and we cooked breakfast as well as a few dinners for ourselves. The stove is a little different then in the states... be sure to turn the gas knob, then click the button with a little lightning sign on it for a spark. We enjoyed La Buena Vida for lunch, as well as Que Onda for dinner, and we loved Turtle Bay for our last breakfast in Akumal.
We were so impressed with the condo that we just can't wait to go back and possibly bring some friends or family to share in the awesomeness! Rent this condo. It's such a special, quiet and beautiful spot.

Owner has done a phenomenal job decorating this condo. It is absolutely breath taking when you walk in the door. The size of the windows in the living room and kitchen? HUUUUUUUUUUGE!!! And all you see and hear is the OCEAN :-)

Other suites in the building do not have screen doors on all 3 patios. This condo does,which allows you to leave the doors open 24/7 to provide a cross breeze day & night. Only used the A/C a few times, for short intervals (in May).

Kitchen is VERY well stocked, as this is the owner's second home. Another nice touch was a bluetooth wireless waterproof speaker, very portable, used it on the balcony & inside ALL the time - made the condo feel like it was MY second home!

This is not a swimming beach, it is a snorkeling beach and when the water is calm, a bit of caution when entering due to it being quite rocky will lead you to the reef where you can swim with all kinds of fish - I saw about 500 fish swimming in one school one morning - and even squid. For larger fish & to swim with the tea turtles from a sandy beach, it is a quick drive down the road to Akumal Bay (or a 15 min. bicycle ride). You are also a 3 min. walk from Yal-Ku Lagoon, which is very calm - loaded with fish - and great for beginner snorkellers.

Several cenotes are nearby, the adventure theme parks are all 20 - 25 min. away. Amazing restaurants - within walking distance and also in Akumal Bay. In short? PHENOMENAL location. And if you want to go to Playa for an evening, it is only half an hr. away.

The bed was SUPER comfortable, the shower had good water pressure (something not easy to find in Mexico!), daily maid service and she will accommodate your schedule.

The beautiful large pool was hardly ever used, and I made FULL use of it, gorgeous setting with palm trees overhanging the pool and tropical flowers all around. And it is open until 10 pm, so if you feel like a moonlight swim...

The concierge is extremely accommodating and also happy to give free Spanish lessons! Should you feel so inclined, bicycle rentals are available on-site (daily/weekly rates) for less than any other condo or resort in the area.

One thing that really stands out about renting this condo is the absolute WEALTH of information provided by the unit owner. Clearly, she cares a GREAT deal about the comfort and happiness of her guests. The "welcome package" is extensive with tons of tips and information, and should you have any questions during your stay, she is so quick to respond by email. VERY impressive!

The flights of stairs to get up to the condo consists of 4 flights of about 10 stairs each, and they are quite steep. If you don't mind a little exercise on your vacation, and can handle 40 stairs, do not let this put you off. I'll tell you why... the privacy, security and view from the main patio is WORTH climbing the stairs to this absolutely gorgeous penthouse suite. And..the stairwell is enclosed within the concrete building, you are not in the hot sun going to & from your condo.

Would I stay here again? In a heartbeat. I actually hesitated to post my review, as I do not want anyone else to find out about this gem of a place in the heart of the Riviera Maya!!! However, there are LOTS of weeks in a year LOL...

We stayed in this lovely condo and fell in love with the view! Being on the third floor gives you the view of gorgeous Half Moon Bay in Akumal. The condo itself is comfortable, clean, and roomy with everything you could need. There are two balconies you can sit on with comfortable furniture and a "Juliet" balcony in the 2nd bedroom so the door can be left open in cool weather. Makes for great cross ventilation! The two bedrooms look out on to the lush interior grounds and the pool. The condo is also very far back from the street so it is quiet and feels very safe. 

Akumal is a lovely little town along the Maya Riviera and La Sirena is located in the north part of the area near Yal Ku Lagoon. The beach access is along a stone entrance which helps get you over the rocky coast line in this area. Water shoes recommended. Snorkeling is fantastic all over Half Moon Bay and we did it almost everyday! The town center of Akumal is a bit of a walk from the condo but definitely doable. We always rent a car when coming here because of all the other activities there are to do. Parking is available at the condo. 

There is only one concern I would like to mention. The condo being on the third floor may cause someone a problem if they have a problem with stairs. We're in our late 50's and did not find it to be an issue, just made sure we took what we needed each time we went out! 

We would definitely stay at La Sirena, and especially #13, again! The owner was very easy to work with and helped make our stay wonderful.

In the future, I'll pay more heed to other reviews, because lack of hot water had been mentioned. It's so unfortunate that Unit 13 hasn't been maintained. We truly enjoyed our 2019 stay in the same unit. This time, in addition to absolutely no hot or even warm water, there were other clear signs of lack of maintenance: the main bath sink leaked into the cabinet and an attempted repair was made with black electrical tape, a large and lovely pierced metal sun wall sconce no longer had electrical, another lovely terracotta pendant was inoperable, a reading chair has been removed from the living area, the living area couch cushions were dirty and smelly, the main kitchen drawer dropped toward the floor, the kitchen granite appears as if someone spilled oil and it has penetrated and darkened/stained. I love the location of La Sirena and would return in a heartbeat if the unit was overhauled. We slept well because the bed and sheets were very comfortable. In case anyone thinks we have Ritz-Carlton expectations, no; we've been vacationing in Akumal since the 1980's and have never had an unsatisfactory accommodation. We felt very lucky that the next day, LocoGringo moved us to another condo that showed complete pride of ownership (Playa Caribe 4.) Sad to say, I can only recommend Unit 13 for the view and for sleeping.

I have traveled in and out of Akumal since 1992, and have rented 3 properties from Loco ****** and Akumal Direct. This is a testimony to how over the years, I have enjoyed and appreciated the services and professionalism of these fine managers. La Sirena is lovey and a breath of fresh air. It was wonderful to sleep listening to the sea, and enjoying the panoramic view from sunrise to sunset. If you are a guest with mobility issues, this might not be a unit for you to consider. It is 38 steps up to get to this magical nest in the sky. The pool is magnificent, and the air circulation caused by sea breezes makes this unit fresh and delightful.

This is a great location on Halfmoon Bay. The snorkeling in the middle of the bay is wonderful and it's super handy to have Yal Kul just up the road. It's a pleasant walk to Akumal Beach for shops and more snorkeling. We did not need a car, thanks to Steve & Suzette's kindness to help us with some groceries! We highly recommend AK restaurant, Chino was so friendly and entertaining! La Lunita up the road was lovely. The La Sirena condo residents/owners and the maintenance team were all so friendly and helpful with the issues we had with the hot water in our unit. We finally got it sorted out after our first week. It took a while and it was frustrating but everyone was so responsive that we just rolled with it. The water pressure is low, typical for Mexico? Daily maid service and water delivery was great to have. The kitchen in unit 13 is nicely stocked with plenty of glassware and options for cooking. The bedding and towels are ready for replacement though. Overall the condo was very comfortable and clean. The garden and pool area at this condo is beautiful, calm and relaxing. It is very well maintained, loved it! Make sure you get to know Kilo :) We had an awesome vacation here!

We had an amazing week in March (18-25) at the condo. The location is spectacular, the access to snorkeling right out front was key! We had a couple of maintenance issues pop up during our stay, and Francesca and her team were very quick to fix them and we had no complaints. La Sirena condos are at the very end of Half Moon Bay, about one mile from Akumal beach activities. The location requires either a car, golf cart or bike to get to/from Akumal central. There were bikes at La Sirena but unfortunately they were not included in the price of the unit. An additional $8 (US) per bike, per day was required. As feedback for the property management, I would have liked to see these bikes offered as complimentary rentals included in the weekly rental price. That aside, we really enjoyed our week, and the fact that housekeeping kept our 5 gallon fresh water dispenser stocked all week was so essential!

We just came back from 9 days at La Sirena (#13). The property is very nice, very clean & well-maintained. It is in an awesome location for snorkeling and diving. The Yel-ku lagoon is literally across the street (like a 3 min walk) and the residence's beach has some phenomenal snorkeling itself.

The area is also very safe & quiet. About 4-5 restaurants were walking distance, with another 3-4 2km (1.5 mile) away. Most of them really good, though with US-level prices.

The apartment itself is quite roomy and very nicely decorated, offering fantastic views. When we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised to find that a lot of "essentials" were provided, some probably left by previous guests: soap, shower gel, shampoo, kitchen stuff like salt, spices, etc. We did our part and added olive oil, vinegar, etc.

The king-size beds have great mattresses and good pillows. Cleaning lady came everyday and addressed all our requests (fresh bedsheets & towels mid-stay, etc.)

What's missing:
- a washer / dryer: for a long-ish stay like ours, this was a bit more than an annoyance. While we were able to have our laundry done in the pueblo, the area is so humid that nothing, absolutely nothing, dries: towels, swimsuits, etc. stayed wet all the time. Sunny weather would have helped but unfortunately we had about 7 days of rain out of 9.

The kitchen also lacks a dishwasher — not a huge deal but prepare to wash a lot of dishes manually if you eat a lot at home.

Last thing: the master bedroom is separated from the living room by ... glass windows + light sheets. So don't expect much privacy there. The adjoining bathroom has also a translucent glass wall, so even less privacy. Again, not a huge thing but some people might be a bit disturbed by what is a but unusual.

All in all: yes, I would recommend to a friend, with the caveats above.
