The Reef Unit B [1]
Perfect Location
Reviewed on 2025-01-19 by Claire G. , Oldsmar, FL United StatesMy rental unit was right on the beach with table and chairs and lounge chairs all available. The interior was perfectly decorated, clean and comfortable. Scott, the manager, was above and beyond helpful.

Blissful Week on the Beach
Reviewed on 2024-12-16 by Amy M. , EPHRATA, PA United StatesWe stayed one week in The Reef B, a surprisingly large one bedroom condo.
Very clean, easy check in and check out.
After reading other reviews we brought our own kitchen knives.
The condo could use an upgrade in sharp knives and pans (only one 6" skillet).
An umbrella at the outdoor table would also be great (odd that there isn't one).
David Palencia is an amazing concierge and helped book a tour of Cenote Santa Cruz - a must see! And he also arranged for a rental car and airport transportation.
We will definitely be back.

Beautiful location
Reviewed on 2024-03-17 by Dana B. , 150 mile house , BC CanadaThis property was a wonderful place to stay. Being right on the beach and ground level was so nice, being able to walk out your patio doors and be right on the beach. The condo was clean and stocked well with everything you need for your stay. There was maid service every other day. Loved our stay

Perfect Location
Reviewed on 2023-10-27 by Diane L. , Austin, TX United StatesI’ve stayed at many different condos on Half Moon Bay and this is the first one I’ve found that is one bedroom and facing the bay. It is super cute and in a perfect location on the bay. An umbrella on the patio would make it perfect!!! Will definitely stay here again!

Ideal Vacation Location
Reviewed on 2023-04-13 by , GLEN HAVEN, CO United StatesBeautifully kept,comfortable room, steps from the beach! Absolutely Nothing to complain about! The best staff ready to accommodate all your needs. 1 mile from Akumal at Turtle Bay, a nice walk or bicycle ride away from some Amazing food at several restaurants serving that days catch. Snorkeling opportunities are all around. Some for a fee, but still great without a guide! Yal-Ku Cenote is also a short trek away and well worth renting a palapa for the day for a private shelter for your snorkeling excursion. The Reef B is a Perfect spot for a Romantic go away!<br/>

Reef B
Reviewed on 2023-03-06 by Teresa J. , MexicoCheck in and check out is a breeze. The unit is tidy and efficient. And staff are friendly and helpful. I would recommend an AC unit with different fan speeds; though you can "control" the temperature, the fan is either off or full blast. Also, while I understand the sea-grass, there was significant built it and no mitigation efforts. It made accessing the bay extremely unpleasant and difficult. I went to another location for a few day (not Akumal) and while there was sea-grass, in was significantly less and easier to navigate to get to the water.

Look No Further
Reviewed on 2023-02-11 by Sharon W. , Phoenix, AZ United StatesI have been coming to Akumal since the late 70’s and have stayed in several of the condos represented by Loco ******. On a recent solo vacation I selected this condo and am already making plans to return. The location is quiet; away from the crowds in Akumal Bay; but close enough to a variety of bars and restaurants within walking distance. The property is meticulously maintained and the housekeepers are warm and friendly. Everything you need for s stress-free vacation is at your fingertips and a quick stop at the supermarket on the way allows you to fully stock your kitchen. For a meal out; do not miss La Lunita or Jungle Fish (just down the road). The only drawback is a burgeoning band of non-native raccoons who hang out in the greenery in front of the condo. They are clever creatures, capable of opening the screen doors!

A small piece of haeven
Reviewed on 2023-01-11 by Barbara R. , Chicago, IL United StatesWe LOVED the condo. It is perfect for a couple. The bed was comfortable, the shower great. But mostly the view, and walking outdoors and being on the beach. What could be better!

Charming condo, perfect for a couples getaway! AC, beachfront, WiFi!






























"The Akumal area and especially Half Moon Bay is famous for its snorkeling spots. The water here is very calm and relatively low, so it is easy to see a lot of underwater life and the coral reef is healthy and beautiful.
Taking inspiration from its main ‘attraction’ the Reef Condominiums is one of the most established accommodations in Akumal, overlooking the Half Moon Bay and the Caribbean.
Every year it welcomes couples, families and diving groups from all over the world, making sure that everyone feels at home.
The moment you walk through the door of The Reef, you are surrounded by the refreshing coolness and airiness of this place. The open floor plan of each apartment not only helps to maximize the living space, but it also lets natural light and tropical breezes into the rooms.
The living and dining area are bright and inviting and a fully-equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare anything from a healthy breakfast to a hearty Mexican dinner.
The bedroom is spacious and furnished with a king-size bed.
But the best part of staying at The Reef, besides its great location is the amazing view of the Caribbean. At The Reef, all the apartments face the ocean and come with either a private balcony or a patio. You will notice that while you are staying here such simple rituals as having your morning cup of coffee turn into a pleasant experience that has to be savored slowly.
Although, it would be a pity to spend your whole day in your apartment, when you have one of the best swimming and snorkeling spots waiting for your right outside your door. When you are done swimming and exploring the gorgeous marine world of Half Moon Bay, you can always lounge under the palapa and reward yourself with a cool ‘cerveza’.
For evening cocktails make sure that you visit the famous La Buena Vida Restaurant and Bar which is just a short walk away from The Reef. They make the best cocktails in the whole Akumal!
As for gift shops, grocery stores, atms or dive shops… you can find everything in Akumal center that is just a mile and a half south of The Reef Condominiums.
So the real question is are you ready for a relaxing vacation by the Caribbean? If yes, make sure to add The Reef Condominiums to your inquiry list!"
