Despite the crisis of Covid19, we thoroughly enjoyed our time in quiet paradise at Playa Caribe #9. The condo is spacious and the decor is amazing. Communication from the owner, Shari, was fantastic. We did several of her suggestions, including the Santa Cruz cenote, which was truly memorable. We snorkelled right out front of the condo several times and saw lots of fish, 2 sea turtles, a sting ray. As a result of closing borders, we needed to end our stay one day early. Shari was understanding and generous in this regard. We highly recommend this condo and owner! We would not hesitate to stay again!

Our stay at Playa Caribe #9 was absolutely perfect. The condo is beautifully decorated and has absolutely everything you could possibly need. Upon entering we were blown away by the gorgeous view from the huge patio door in the living room. The kitchen is fully stocked with more dishes, pots and pans, glasses, and utensils than I even have at home! We cooked many meals in the condo and had everything we needed. The bedrooms are spacious and again, beautifully decorated with art work (some originals from the owner) and many personal touches. There is plenty of closet space and dressers to unpack your things and move right in! The beds are super comfortable and the bathrooms were fully stocked with large showers and plentiful hot water. Everywhere you look in this condo you see that this is not just a condo...but a beautiful home that someone is willing to share with you. The beach is a little rocky and during our stay it was quite windy so it was a bit difficult to enter the ocean but we walked up and down the beach and visited “La Buena Vida” several times for delicious meals and margaritas. We were able to walk everywhere, to Akumal Beach (swam with turtles), to the shops and to Turtle Bay Cafe (wonderful breakfast) and La Cueva del Pescador (lobster dinner). The area is very safe with many friendly people. We also toured Santa Cruz Cenote (a “must see”) and snorkeled at Yal Ku Lagoon which was an amazing experience. We used the pool several times to cool off. So clean and refreshing! Our trip to this condo was terrific but more importantly was the communication with the owner. From the moment I booked the reservation, Shari was in contact with me to give us advice on transportation, excursions, recommendations for restaurants and she answered any questions. I really can’t say enough about her helpfulness and the touches she has put into this condo. I have been to Mexico many time and I highly recommend this condo due to the cleanliness (housekeeping came every day), the beauty, the comfort, and the location. Thank you, Shari for sharing your beautiful home with us! Hasta la proxima vez!

We had a beautiful stay in Shari's place. From my experience, this bay in Akumal has to be the best location for snorkelling on the entire Maya strip and after this visit, I don't think I could bear to stay anywhere else! As for the apartment itself...Not only is the view spectacular but the place is fully equipped with everything one could need and more. Everything from the cozy design, comfortable bed and open shared spaces made it really feel like home. On top of it, the staff were always very friendly and helpful. We keep looking back fondly at our photos and are already itching for the next visit!

Playa Caribe #9 was beautiful with its fantastic ocean view, beautiful eclectic decor, and complete kitchen (it looks just like the photos) - we have been visiting Akumal for >20 years and this is the prettiest condo we have ever seen there. There was no sargassum and the water was calm and flat. We watched 88 baby turtles hatch and run into the ocean one night just outside the condo! Although we bought some groceries from the tiny store across the street, we ate out for most of our meals except breakfast at the great local restaurants - we love Turtle Bay Cafe since they have healthy food that every one of my picky children loves. We did all the activities in Shari’s (the owner’s) Guide she sent us before we left and they were exciting - especially the denote she recommended that was natural and private -- and much nicer than Xplor. Patty the maid was wonderful and kept it so clean. We hope to come back soon.

We just left from a vacation in Akumal. The vacation was great; Staying at Playa Caribe #9 was a perfect addition to that great experience. The staff was so friendly and very helpful. We felt so welcome as soon as we set foot in the property. Agustin was awesome, and he is always smiling. Our maid was Patricia and she was very always on time and made sure our place was always clean and organized everyday. The condo is a paradise, so beautiful. The view from the deck and the entire condo was amazing. We watched the sunrise and the full moon relaxing on the deck.We watched the sunset on another deck off the master bedroom. The kids enjoyed the pool which was very clean. They enjoyed watching the three little iguanas that roamed around the pool. They even named them Brad, Gary and Pedro. We will miss them. The property is so safe and secure as there is a security guard on duty each night. Well Akumal is very safe in the first place. The condo is pretty stacked with all the things you need. The beds are really comfy and place has ample space for the 5 of us. It is a walking distance to La Buena Vida restaurant, and we ate there almost everyday. We biked to Yalku lagoon, to town, and to Turtle beach. Its a great way to ride a bike around town as traffic and parking can be a hassle in town. I truly recommend Playa Caribe #9 to anyone who wants to stay in Akumal. And the owner Shari is great, accommodating, prompt communicator, and has lots of ideas and suggestion to add to your great vacation.

There were 3 adult women in our group and we chose this We made the best choice ever. We are kind of gourmet ladies so we ate at home a lot, cooking chevre stuffed chicken that is very tender here, spaghetti sauce with chorizo, chicken mole, beef steak. We went fishing one day and caught a dorado and then grilled it on the ocean terrace with the owner’s BBQ. We were right out of a TV commercial with drinks and fresh fish on the ocean terrasse with the ocean breezes and the seabirds swooping, smiling and laughing. This was a marvelous experience and I highly recommend this condo to everyone.
