The amazing: 1. Location. Few things beat enjoying the breeze in a hammock outside your room 30 feet from the ocean. Great idea. Or go lie down on beach chairs in the shade and be lulled into a nap by the sound of crashing waves. Half moon bay is peaceful and not crowded and apparently a great location for snorkeling... More

I highly recommend Vista del Mar for people who prefer simplicity over opulence. VDM made my vacation as welcoming as the sea and sky surrounding the hotel. Comfy beds, yummy pillows, great shower, and most importantly, filtered water. In short, everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Rooms are smallish, but we were outside mostly, so that was a minor... More

What's not to like...reasonable priced, right one the beach, clean room, on store premise, friendly people, safe, convenient, next to a good restaurant with great drinks and food. The only problem we had was after returning back after a day of swimming our room door was left unlocked but nothing was touched or taken so it was fine. Akumal is... More

For the price this place was a great bargain. We looked at the small $85 room and then saw the two bedroom for $25 more... a no brainer. Full kitchen, A/C, bottle water (small, never used) TV and next to a mini-store and a good restaurant/bar. Hey, I would definitely go back.

Nice beach, close to many things without being in the middle, the hotel has many little details that make your stay enjoying and comfortable. The little grocery shop in the hotel has great prices, and so close to the room & right on the beach (all day long we walked in & out of the place) The pool is nice,... More

This is a great "middle ground" between the mega-resorts to the north and the overpriced hippie-shacks down in Tulum. Not ritzy or rustic, just a very nice medium size hotel, on quiet little Half-Moon Bay, with easy access to Tulum, the main cenotes, etc. Friendly, low-key, non-touristy area, mostly long-time Mexico travellers. Nicely decorated rooms, everything in top condition, fridge,... More

This is a review for the hotel not the condos, though it is the same complex. The rooms are tiny but they are cheerful and they all open up onto the ocean side, either with a patio, or the ground floor which you can walk right out onto the beach which is pretty great. Room comes with a hammock which... More

We just spent 10 days in Akumal at Vista Del Mar and absolutely loved it. We stayed in the hotel. Room was cozy, but right on the beach. I loved being able to just open our sliding glass door and be on the beach. We stayed on the first floor and this was so great, beach chairs with a palapa... More

I really love the location of this hotel. I especially enjoyed sleeping with the sound of the waves, and having breakfast on the balcony in the morning with sunshine and again, sea waves. It is very relaxing and serene. The half moon bay beach may not be as pretty as Akumal beach or Yal-ku lagoon; however, the price beats it... More
