Description

One of our favorite units and definitely an Akumal classic, Penthouse at the Reef is a very special four bedroom, four bath condominium, occupying the entire third floor of The Reef. Recently remodeled, this luxury suite is stylish and chic. It is the only 4 bedroom condo in Akumal.

The stunning hand painted mural upon entering the 3rd floor is your first clue that this is no ordinary unit. As you enter into the penthouse, you are greeted by a large picture window with an incredible view of Half Moon Bay that leads to an expansive oceanfront terrace and outdoor living area. The ideal place to entertain and enjoy this amazing vista.

The owners created an elegant and beach themed space and their care is evident throughout the condo. Delight in the modern, fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and extra large breakfast bar for seating. Enjoy gourmet meals at the custom made dining table while taking in the views of the Caribbean. There is also a water filter for drinking water in the kitchen.

The Penthouse has four private and well appointed bedrooms. The Master features a king bed, Smart TV, ensuite bathroom and oceanfront terrace that can be locked off for seclusion. The oceanfront guest suite is just as beautiful with a queen bed, Smart TV, ensuite bathroom and a beachfront terrace.

The jungle view guest bedroom has two double beds and Smart TV. It also has its own private bathroom with dual sinks and soaking tub. The 4th bedroom is a studio suite with its own full service kitchen, queen bed, and private entry, this bedroom is great for those that want extra privacy.

The Reef has a great central location on Half Moon Bay. Easy walk to La Buena Vida or La Lunita restaurants. With direct access to the beach and snorkeling, the Penthouse at the Reef is the best property for your upcoming vacation to Akumal

KINDLY NOTE: During the summer months, south winds may bring Sargasso Seaweed to some beaches throughout the Caribbean, including the Riviera Maya.

The Riviera Maya is full of natural beauty, places to explore and opportunities for outdoor activities. We have a great list of activities and adventures completely unaffected by the arrival of sargasso that we would love to share with you. There is so much to see and do in this special place, we know that you will have an amazing and memorable vacation!

Beautiful condo with ample space and very comfortable beds and linens. Akumal Direct helped us arrange everything we needed including golf cart rental and day trip bookings. Would happily return. Should note the seaweed is bad, just as they warned, and there is a strong smell. There were other spots in Akumal where it was less present on shore just depends on the currents. For us it was manageable and didn’t ruin our trip but should not expect the views to be quite as pristine as the pics right now.

Beautiful location and beautiful place to stay! The restaurants nearby were amazing and felt like you were living in a small beach town. Comfy and cozy with a touch of luxury. Gorgeous bedrooms and everything was clean from floor to ceiling. We went for family vacation and all of us loved it!!

This penthouse condo was a real treat! The hot tub wasn’t hot when we got there abs we kept it that way! The kids had a ton of fun at the end of each day while parents hung out admiring the view. Solid snorkeling on half moon bay and convenient to Yal-ku lagoon and Akumal Bay. I definitely recommend this condo! The area has changed a lot since our first trip in 2014. Half moon bay is still quiet but Akumal Bay is way more commercialized than we remember it. Thanks for a wonderful stay!!

This penthouse is everything shown in the photos and more. The condo is clean, open and the view on the patio is unreal! There is a beautiful reef right outside and makes for great snorkeling, and we were a quick walk away from town and some amazing restaurants. Already planning our next stay!

This place is PERFECT literally what you see is what you get if not better. The host was accessible around the clock, helpful and very responsive. There’s security round the clock security, private parking, a various restaurants and excursions all on the premises. The Airbnb it self is located on the beach, air conditioning, WiFi and a fully stocked kitchen (literally all that you can think of and it is brand new). Only suggest is having a car or back may be helpful when getting around.

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. I stayed there for a week and had a great time. Location is close enough to Tulum, we were able to drive around. We chose this place for that reason. Tulum is too crowded for me, this place you have the peace and quiet.

We stayed at the Reef Condominiums Penthouse. The property was immaculate with every amenity you could ask for. The ocean view is spectacular from every room and the little infinity pool on the balcony was a great bonus. We’ve stayed all over the world and been to Riviera Maya many times and this was the best hosted property we’ve rented. The host, Israel, went above and beyond to make sure everything about our stay was perfect. We would definitely stay there again.

We loved our stay at the Penthouse at the Reef. Plenty of space for our family members, comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, very quiet and peaceful, with extremely easy access to the beach. The views were wonderful--sunrise was a favorite time. It was extremely pleasant to just sit out on the balcony and read in the afternoon if we didn't feel like going to the beach. And the enormous hot tub was a big hit. The staff members were all very friendly and helpful. We especially loved the cenote tour they recommended.

What a wonderful place!

The Penthouse was a wonderful place to spend our vacation with our two sons and their families. Everything from the layout/flow and comfort of the complex worked for us. The balconies and views were exceptional. The daily maid service kept everything clean and tidy-the maid was great as was the condo management team who made themselves available on a timely basis when we needed assistance. WE did not need a car because of the great location and did rent a golf cart to access some areas within Akumal Bay. Our overall experience rates a +5 and we are so grateful that we were able to spend time at this condo in Akumal.

As always, this condo meets or exceeds expectations. We had a wonderful stay, for the second time at this property. The manager is new, but did a good job at taking care of us. The maid and other staff members are wonderful as well. I highly recommend both the property and Akumal Direct.

Beautiful views, loved falling asleep to the sound of the ocean! If you’re looking for a relaxing place away from the crowds, this is it. We stayed mostly in, walked to the Lunita restaurant down for drinks and snorkeled all day. My brother even got married on the beach, and they allowed it because it was a very small private wedding. It was one of our best vacations ever, and that says a lot considering it’s Covid season and we’ve been everywhere. We’ll be back for sure!
