Fabulous Views
Reviewed on 2025-02-12 by Kathleen M. , Frankford, ON CAThis is a lovely venue. I could hear the waves on the shore and see the moon on the bay at night. Everything is as pictured and in good repair. Our property manager and cleaner were both very good. The one downside is that the internet is quite hopeless.

Watch turtles hatch in the summer
Reviewed on 2024-11-24 by Christine L. , Boone , IA United StatesWe have rented this condo many times. We love to stay here in the summer and see the turtles laying and hatching. This is a coral beach and a small reef system is just a swim away. If you stay April-October the turtles lay nests and hatch. Ariel manages this condo and he is wonderful. Housekeeper Valentina is a joy! Condo is always clean and well maintained with great AC and a smart TV in the living room. There is no pool here and it is quiet and relaxing.

Penthouse on the beach
Reviewed on 2023-05-23 by Colin C. , MexicoLoved our 12 day stay in Unit 5. Was magical to wake up with the wind blowing across the bed, the sound of the waves and the incredible view without lifting your head off the pillow. The wicker furniture in the living room was quite uncomfortable but other than that everything was perfect.

Unit 4 and 5 review
Reviewed on 2022-11-21 by , Round Rock, TX United StatesPart of our stay was in Unit 4, which was mostly very nice; very clean and comfortable and good Wi-Fi. The refrigerator made a very loud humming noise when the compressor was running. The microwave made a loud humming noise while running. Other than early in the morning or in the very late afternoon, the balcony patio was pretty much unusable because the sun shine made it unbearably hot. An awning or umbrella would be helpful.
Unit 5 has great views, but the Wi-Fi was spotty at best and not good if one planned to do some work there. The living room could use its own air conditioner as it get quite warm in there during the day. Maid service was wonderful for both units.

Wonderful Week at Yool Caanal #5
Reviewed on 2022-01-10 by Melanie M. , Canon City, CO United StatesMy husband and I stayed at Yool Caanal Unit 5 12/25/21 - 1/1-22 and we had such a great experience. The location of this condo on Half Moon Bay is perfect if you are looking for something away from the more crowded Akumal beach area. We rented bicycles for the week which was a perfect way to get to the restaurants and shops in Akumal and Akumal Pueblo. The condo itself was beautiful and exactly as described. The folks at Akumal Direct were so very responsive and helpful with all the reservation details and even offered a discount due to some construction going on next door. Absolutely no complaints; would definitely stay here again (and again).
Perfect spot for down time with the family
Reviewed on 2022-01-06 by Keith K. , San Francisco, CA United StatesWe spent three nights here just after the New Year. We snorkeled every day, searched the tide pools just down the beach, and ate at La Lunita just down the beach for dinners. The views, waves, and breeze are perfect if you just want to get away for a while. Perfect for a family or even two couplea traveling together.
Paradise
Reviewed on 2021-12-06 by Barbara S. , Denver, CO United StatesThis is the most relaxing, perfect spot to spend time with friends and family. The sound of the gentle waves at night is so comforting. Everything you can ask for in a vacation rental! The location, staff, management are all excellent.

3rd time and counting
Reviewed on 2021-11-10 by Caroline M. , Chicago, IL United StatesYool Caanal #5 is the most spectacular and perfect space to just let the world roll past you and enjoy the beautiful beach and lovely snorkeling all day long. Walk from here to a little grocery when you need a few items, or all the way into the main beach area (a lovely mile) for restaurants and shopping. It's our 5th time to here or the place that used to be next door. This corner of Half Moon Bay is pretty much the best in all of Riviera Maya! We'll, of course, be back!
Quiet, relaxing getaway.
Reviewed on 2021-06-07 by , Seattle, WA United StatesJust an amazing rental and I’d love to return. Great location, staff, and condo. They also did a great job removing the sea grass. The condo could have used a little TLC, but not a big deal. I would have also appreciated an AC in the main living room. But, I’d just go to a resort for a perfect room. I like it the way it is.

Cool Caanal Unit 5 - Fabulous!
Reviewed on 2020-04-20 by Trent T. , Weyburn , SK CanadaWe have stayed in a variety of Yool Caanal units and we have truly loved them all and this year we had the very unexpected chance to stay in Unit 5. Unit 5 is very well appointed and is now, by far our favourite and that says a lot considering how much we have enjoyed this condo complex. We were in Xcalak when we discovered that due to Covid 19 the Canadian Government was recommending all travellers return home as soon as possible. We decided that we better head north and get closer to the Cancun Airport. We called Marcia with Akumal Direct and she graciously welcomed us back by making sure we had what we needed. Her service was as always -- FANTASTIC. We had not booked through Akumal Direct in two years as we have been travelling further south and inland in the Yucatan, yet she immediately welcomed us back and treated us like old friends. It was comforting to be back in Akumal and renting from Akumal Direct on Half Moon Bay in this beautiful condo while we scrambled to find a way home.

You couldnt ask for a better place to get away from the crowds of Playa/cancun. Waking to the sun coming up over the bay as the waves crash in, lazy days in the lagoon, white sand beach 20 feet from your door. Bliss! Akumal is for those who need some time to reflect, reconnect with those you care about and pretty much forget about the world.Highly recommended!
One of my Favorites
Reviewed on 2009-11-12 by Jamie R. , Hudson, NC United StatesWe had a small problem w/ the key to the master being missing and not ever getting a copy to lock it while gone and the hot water and stove not being hooked up our first day. The issue about the hot water and stove was resolved very quickly.
This has got to be one of my favorite locations. We absolutely loved the condo and the location. It was breathtaking each day to wake up to the view and very surreal and calming to hang out in the living room and watch the ocean and birds. We had a wonderful time snorkeling and got to see several turtles which are our favorites to see. Everyone was accommodating and friendly. We also realized one of the local restaurants just down the street serves breakfast and it was really easy to walk to. The bed to my surprise was very comfortable and I slept well listening to the ocean. Like I said before this has got to be a favorite of ours and we'll defiantly look at staying here again next year.<br/><br/>We had a small problem w/ the key to the master being missing and not ever getting a copy to lock it while gone and the hot water and stove not being hooked up our first day.
