Photos and Description of the Akumal vacation condo rental
Condominium - 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s) - 2 Baths - (Sleeps up to 6)

The rates for this condo are super low. Off season rate is $100/night for a lovely condo in top condition on the sand. Daily maid service is provided. Two couples can easily share this condo and the cost would be $50/night per couple. The condo at these rates is a huge bargain. High season rate of $160/night also is well below the competition. We now have 2 pools since we are just completing a new pool (11/11). Large, quiet condominium on the sand. Fabulous views of the Caribbean.Great snorkeling and diving right in front. Condominium is in top condition and has a fully equipped kitchen and daily maid service. We do have wifi on the property.

Smoke-Free condominium has a large private patio with hammock. Each bedroom has a king size bed and private terraces. Property is walled for privacy and has a pool and is beautifully landscaped. We have an ideal location at the end of Half Moon Bay in Akumal where the road ends. We are set back 50 yards making our location both very private and quiet. We have an excellent management team that is very responsive to our renters and are right on the grounds to help solve any problems.

We have nine restaurants in Akumal and are within a short drive to Tulum and Playa Del Carmen. Shopping is also available in Akumal.

We are within driving distance to Chichen Itza, Uxmal and Coba. Many wonderful excursions are available. Car rental is available and reasonably priced right at the Cancun Airport which is one hour from the condominium.

This is not a densely populated area. No large hotels. We are located 300 yards from wonderful Yal Ku Lagoon. Owner has a guide to the area and is available to help renters with travel plans.

About The Owner

the owners are Carol & Marty Klein. We are a retired couple that purchased the condo in construction in 1991. It is our goal to make this the best condo and La Iguana the best complex in Akumal. Our other owners are agreement to do all we can to make La Iguana Condos the best in Akumal. I (Marty) love to talk to prospective renters to tell them about the condo and the Akumal area. I have a lot of suggestions for excursions and for restaurants in the area. Because I have owned now for 20 years, I have a lot of knowledge about what the area offers the visitor. Serving our renters is on the top of our list so that they will have a memorable vacation in Akumal and will return and recommend us to family and friends.

The Owner purchased this condo in 1991
Why The Owner chose Akumal

We were visiting the area in 1991 and thought this was paradise. We purchased the property while it was in construction when we saw the bay, the location and the view we would have. The snorkeling in Half Moon Bay was wonderful and the fact that the water was so clear and that waves did not break on the shore but broke on the other side of the protective reef. We have a large covered private patio behind locked doors. This patio has a hammock, sofa, table and chairs and a storage area. There are also Caribbean views from this patio. The condo does not have a/c because we have not needed. Our unique location at the northern end of Half Moon Bay and on the north side of the building gives the condo exposure to breezes off the Caribbean, from the north and from the west. These exposure provide almost constant breezes that keep the condo comfortable. We also have high speed fans throughout the condo and have 2 tower portable air coolers that can be placed where ever needed. Even during the hot months of July & August we are almost always comfortable in the condo. Because we do not have a/c, we can rent the condo for rates that are below our competition that does have a/c. The condo is always in top condition and our on site manager is there to handle any problems instantly.

What makes this condo unique

A top notch condo on the sand for incredibly low rates. $160/night in high season and $100/night in low season. Two kid friendly pools on the grounds.Quiet privacy, amazing views from almost everywhere in the condo, wonderful breezes that blow off the water. The amazing amount of activities that are available, the wonderful native people that service the area. The brightness and comfort of the condo. The wonderful management team that is on the grounds and assists with any problem we or our renters may have. Our great maid Ana who always has a smile on her face and does a great job of cleaning the condo everyday. All the wonderful artwork throughout the condo. The fully equipped kitchen that has all the appliances you would need. Yal Ku Lagoon is a wonder and is only a few hundred yards from the condo. We keep our rates very low because we do not have a/c. We have high speed fans throughout the condo and supplement that with portable tower air coolers. Because the condo is at the far northern end of Half Moon Bay, we benefit from our location and the fact that we have exposure to breezes from the east (off the bay), from the north (northern winds are very common in Akumal) and from the east. These exposures and our screened windows that open to let the breezes in, keep us cool and allow us to keep our costs down and therefore our rates very low. Air conditioning is very expensive to maintain in Akumal and why pay for something that you won't need. I have many renters who will attest to the comfort of the condo in the summer. During the months of September through April it almost never gets to the point that one would use a/c but condos that have it charge higher rates all year.

The condo is beautiful and so very Mexican! A wonderful location, close to the best attractions on the coast. The view is beautiful, and while the weather was very windy, with large waves, the bay was quite calm - enough for snorkelling with the turtles. Don't bother with the turtle tour, just start swimming off the beach (wear water shoes and beware sea urchins!) The town has one of the best gift shops I found. Rent a car (be careful, research the pitfalls. If your credit card covers any of the liability insurance, make sure you take the paperwork with you). By having your own car, you arrive at attractions such as Xel-Ha hours before the tours arrive, and pay much less. Who wants to spend their holidays on a bus? There is a tv, but only used as a dvd player, so plan accordingly. We did not miss it. A 5-minute walk to Yal Ku lagoon, snorkel all day for @ 12.50/person. Entrance to Tulum costs 57 pesos (5.00 CDN). It was honestly the best vacation we have ever had. Thank you so much Marty for your recommendations and the use of your condo. If you are planning on renting this condo, book early because I am recommending it to every one I know, and planning already for next year.

Just back from our week long stay at this condo. The condo was just perfect for our needs and the view can not be beat! Clean, spacious, comfortable with lots of interesting folk art on the walls. We loved the location and the good snorkeling right outside the door. The owner made the rental process very easy with lots of good suggestions on things to do while in the area. Would definitely recommend and would love to go back!

What a gem! Everything about the condo was perfect. The view was as good as the pictures. What is not shown is the back porch which looks out on the trees in the courtyard. We saw beautiful birds all day long with minimal effort! We enjoyed walking to the Yal-Ku lagoon, snorkeling there and right out front in half moon bay. There is a nice man made beach out front that had very comfortable and shady lounge chairs. Daily maid service and wifi available in the office.

Didn't need airconditioning with the wonderful ocean breezes and great cross ventilation in the condo. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. My only fear is it won't be available next time we visit!

Both my husband and I were more than pleased with Iguana #5 in Half Moon Bay. The wall of windows facing the bay provided us with daily doses of clear blue sky, a variety of birds including yellow and orange orioles, rippling waves and sandy beaches. (Be sure to bring your binoculars.) Warm breezes came in through the many screened windows located in every room in the condo - air conditioning not needed. The king size bed and soft pillows were extremely comfortable.

The condo was clean when we arrived and kept spotless by Anna, the house cleaner, on a daily basis. The grounds were well maintained and both pools were crystal clear. Parking was on site and was lit at night.

Activities in the area were many, just as Marty had said, Amazing diving and snorkeling, shopping in the many locally run tourist shops, bicycling, lazing in the lounge chairs at the condo or swimming in the warm waters of Akumal Bay. Historical ruins, too many to mention, are within an hour or two drive. (highly recommend a guide at the sites - our guide was fantastic definitely worth the price). Restaurants of many different varieties and budgets are located on the road to Akumal Bay as well as in the town itself. Highly recommend La Lunita - $90 for two - included appetizer, entree, coffee, dessert, wine and tip. There is a small ma and pa type place beside Super Chomak in Akumal - traditional Mexican meal cost no more than $20 for two. They let us bring our own beer as they do not have a liquor license.

If you are looking for a comfortable, clean and quiet place to enjoy your holiday then contact Marty. Our only regret is that we had to leave Iguana #5 to return home.

Hello Marty and Carol! We had a wonderful time in Alkumal, Mexico. Your condo home was just what we needed to relax in. It was absolutely beautiful. It was so nice to sleep with the sounds of the ocean waves and the cool breezes blowing. The view was wonderful from every window. It was nice to snorkel right in the front of you home. It was nice to be on the reef with all of the beautiful fish. We swam into the beach, had a nice meal on Half Moon Bay and walked the beach back, with another short swim, to your home. The water was always warm and was only shoulder deep at the deepest point. We enjoyed the town of Alkumal as well. We spent one day having massages in town after a "hard" day at the beach. Anna and Hector keep everything so clean, inside and out. We will recommend your home to all of our friends and family. Thank you again so much for sharing your piece of heaven in Mexico!
