Lovely condo in Half Moon Bay
Reviewed on 2025-01-12 by , Kansas City, MO United StatesWe enjoyed our stay very much. The property was as described and met our needs in every way. The view is spectacular as we were literally steps from the ocean. Everything was clean and well maintained. We were supported well by the management and concierge services. I'd recommend this unit to friends that are interested in an out-of-the-way and relaxing experience. Restaurant choices are limited but the ones nearby are very good. Snorkeling on the private beach was great and nearby were other places where you could see even more turtles, stingrays and many types of fish. Tulum ruins are not far and pickup at your doorstep can be arranged. Bring a supply of US dollars and MX pesos as cash is not always easy to acquire nearby.

Beautiful and quiet getaway!
Reviewed on 2025-01-05 by Christine W. , Pella, IA United StatesThe only negative we could find was that the master bedroom bed was extremely firm/hard.
This beautiful modern feeling condo was perfect for our family of 6. It was clean, light and bright, and had everything we needed. We LOVED that we had a private beach just outside our condo and Half Moon Bay was AMAZING for snorkeling! Alma, the maid, was so sweet and did a great job. The condo is right in the middle of the bay with restaurants within walking distance in either direction. Our family had a very relaxing week. <br/>The only negative we could find was that the master bedroom bed was extremely firm/hard.

Great condo with a great setting in a great town.
Reviewed on 2024-12-04 by , Green Valley, AZ United StatesThis condo was perfect for my husband and I with amazing views right on the bay. Has everything you need. It appears the condo went through a complete renovation. It was absolutely stunning. Unfortunately, we were there during tropical storm Sara so couldn’t do a lot of the things we had planned. Can’t wait to come back and we would definitely stay in this condo again.

About best central location and all made accessible w/ golf cart
Reviewed on 2024-04-17 by Steven R. , Solana Beach, CA United StatesThe best equipped unit we’ve rented at Half Moon Bay. A bit of a struggle with four flights of stairs normally not a concern, however I am awaiting a left knee replacement surgery. You need not be an athlete yet it does require fair amount of stairs. Generally I would want to stay here again once healed & stronger.

Thank you for your kind review of Luna Azul 8 on Half Moon Bay. Yes, there are 3 flights of stairs but completely worth it. Please let us know when you're ready to join us again and we'll gladly help you plan another great vacation.
Gorgeous Quiet Remodeled Condo on Half Moon Bay
Reviewed on 2024-03-22 by Joshua N. , Roseville, MN United StatesWe had a beautiful view in a quiet area. The condo has been recently updated and was beautiful and airy and clean, just like the photos and description. The AC units worked great on the hot days. The provided drinking water was appreciated. The power went out for a few hours when we were there which we knew was a possibility, but it did not cause us any problems. We cooked multiple times and enjoyed using the kitchen. We also spent a lot of time on the deck enjoying the view. It was close to lots of great experiences--snorkeling, scuba, monkey sanctuary, Tulum, etc. The restaurant right down the road was great to have in walking distance. Every time we communicated with the team at Akumal Direct we received prompt and helpful replies. We were delayed and ended up needing a late check in, but that went smoothly. We would definitely recommend this suite!

We're glad you found the new remodel to your liking during your stay at Luna Azul 8 and were able to experience beach living in Akumal. When you're ready to visit again, we'll gladly help you plan another great vacation.
Beautiful modern condo
Reviewed on 2024-02-18 by , Saskatoon , SK CanadaThe beach was racked daily and seaweed picked up. There was always lounge chairs available.
We had maid services every other day. Which was perfect.
Having a concierge was so helpful. David answered all our questions and helped find day trips for us.
The only minus was how hard the beds were and the drains in the showers took a very long time to drain. Very minor complaints.
The only thing I wish is that we could have stayed longer!

Lovely suite for a Relaxing week.
Reviewed on 2024-01-30 by MARIAN C. , Midland, ON CanadaWe enjoyed a quiet week in Half Moon Bay, Akumal. Communication with Akumal Direct was easy & prompt, check in easy, condo bright, clean and well appointed. We did not need anything. The private beach was steps from the condo and very quiet. We spent most of our afternoons there.

Mediocre
Reviewed on 2023-03-24 by , Fraser, CO United StatesHave stayed at Luna Azul many times and always been pleasant....not this time. As Akumal Direct now seems to have a monopoly on half moon bay the prices keep going up remarkable quick with no apparent correlation to quality of accommodations. This unit was tired and in need of upgrade with tiny bathrooms and showers. I only had one warm shower in 3 days and all my showers the water barely tricked out of the shower head. The bed was old and hard as a rock. Comfort foam mattresses are inexpensive now and fit most peoples comfort levels. The seaweed is rough but that is mother nature not property owners while quality of the units and basic comfort is

A great stay in the middle of Half Moon Bay
Reviewed on 2022-12-19 by Kevin D. , Regina, SK CAThe place needs a day with a handyman to fix the minor repairs needed to the bathroom fixtures (taps, mirrors) The unit is more suitable for a family of four than two adult couples - one couple gets a bigger room with closest and the other gets a smaller room with shelves. The close proximity to restaurants and grocery was nice. Excellent view. Air conditioning works very well. The cleaners who come every day to pick up your toilet paper were good. Beds are extremely firm (mattress on a concrete slab.
The plates, cups, glasses and wine glass selection was minimal. If you broke one you have no back ups.
