This hotel and the adjacent condos are directly on the beach at Half Moon Bay. I had previously stayed in one of their condos, and this time I chose room 303 in the hotel, a one-bedroom with a stove, fridge, balcony, and couch that works fine as a bed for your vacation buddy. The condos are I think a little... More

We stayed in the 1 bedroom hotel room on the 3rd floor. What a beautiful view of the ocean from all of the rooms with a small balcony. The room was clean but small. They had water, a small frig and a coffee pot in the room. No microwave. When staying a week it would have been nice to have... More

From making reservations to checking out, everything about Vista Del Mar was fantastic. We made our plans at the very last minute, and the reservationist was very kind and helpful. The reception staff on site were very friendly and also very helpful. They were able to answer our many questions about the area. Our 3rd floor condo (in VDM North... More

This last February was the 7th year my wife & I have stayed at VDM Hotel. If you do are not interested in having a kitchen, this is THE place to stay in the Akumal area! We love it. A clean, small room with a bathroom (including a window overlooking Half Moon Bay!) and a balcony/patio right on the beach.... More

My wife, our eight year old son, 16 month old daughter and myself just spent a month at the Vista Del Mar and we couldn't recommend a better place. The beach is amazing with terrific snorkeling right from your backdoor. It is on the quieter side of Akumal which made it great for us with kids. The staff was great... More

So why people complain about wifi, tv, or fancy accomodations when you are on vacation at the beach just baffles me. We rarely watch tv anyway, and why someone would watch tv or use their computer when they are in a beautiful setting is crazy. And when you are going in and out of your room with sandy feet and...

This is a very difficult location to rate. Some of it was EXCELLENT, however some of it needs to be improved. Would I stay here again...you bet!! Yet I felt I should report both the good and the bad. Hopefully the management will take notice and make some improvements? The GOOD: the views are awesome; the overall cleaniness of our... More

We stayed in a queen room in the Vista del Mar hotel. It was simple, but comfortable. The best part is the location. We opened our first floor sliding door right onto a small patio that was directly on the beach. It's a quick walk to the small town and right next to the Buena Vista which was a great... More

A friend recommended this hotel and it was just what we were looking for. Right on the beach so we could hear the surf, "our" beach was uncrowded and the room came with a hammock to hang on our patio. Staff was helpful and attentive. And we liked the free wi-fi access. It would have gotten a 5-rating if there... More

We have stayed at the Vista del Mar 6 or 7 times since 2004, once in a condo and the remainder in one of the 1br hotel rooms. They are right on the beach on Half Moon Bay; the beach is low use, mainly by hotel residents. The rooms are designed nicely with a balcony and you have great view... More
