Description

Affordable Beachside Living

 It is not a coincidence that this beautiful condominium complex is called “La Sirena” or “Mermaid” in English.

Here you will find everything the Queen of the Sea would want in her accommodation – including a soft, sun-kissed beach, Half Moon Bay reef with tropical fish and gracious sea turtles, a large turquoise swimming pool, impeccable service and airy rooms.

La Sirena is a set of condos along the beach on the north rim of Half Moon Bay that offers its guests captivating views of the Caribbean, much-desired privacy and a budget-friendly taste of a classy vacation.

Great Condos with Conveniences Close By in Akumal

Each of La Sirena’s oceanfront condominiums includes an open living and dining area, 2 spacious bedrooms where even king-size beds don’t seem too big, a cozy kitchen with a raised breakfast counter, two lovely bathrooms and a relaxing terrace with views of the ocean and the lush tropical forest to the north.

But the best part of La Sirena is its breathtaking views of the Caribbean and the majestic Yal Ku lagoon which is just down the street. Wherever you are in this sea condo, you will have clear blue sky and the azure ocean as your backdrop. The wall-size windows will not only add that “tropical paradise” postcard feel to your home but will invite a lot of natural light and the gentle ocean breeze into your living space.

And if you feel like taking a closer look at the underwater world of the reef, all you have to do is cross the raised sand area (complete with shady palapas and chaise lounges), put your snorkeling gear on, and dive right into the crystal clear waters of Caribbean.

This is truly one of those unique experiences that make you appreciate the beauty of Mother Nature.

If you want to, you can also check out the vast La Sirena swimming pool surrounded by lush gardens just a minute away from your apartment.

Adventurous and Fun Activities are Endless.

Since La Sirena condominiums are located relatively close to numerous activities and places of interest, you can easily bike or walk to the center of Akumal, the lively Playa del Carmen or mysterious Mayan ruins at Tulum.

Or if you are in for a real adventure, you can try fresh water diving or just take a day trip to the Cozumel Island.

There is no doubt that after spending just a few relaxing days at La Sirena and the Akumal area will make you forget about stress, worry, and mundane home chores.

So why not to give yourself and your loved ones the present of discovering the best of Mexico while staying in an amazing place! Inquire about la Sirena Condos today so you can plan your Akumal vacation.

We stayed at La Sirena condos on Half Moon Bay for a week in October, 2024. We have been traveling to Akumal since 2004, starting at the Akumal Beach Resort and then renting condos on Half Moon Bay. This was our first stay at La Sirena and we loved it! The grounds were beautiful and well kept. The condo itself (unit 14) was roomy, comfortable, well equipped, and has a great view of Half Moon Bay. Francesca and her staff were great. Other than so-so water pressure in the shower (not a deal breaker by any means), we loved everything about La Sirena and would definitely return.

As long as you’re okay with stairs ( the unit is on the 3rd floor) this condo is perfect! Great cross breezes from the ocean and courtyard, everything you need in the kitchen, AC in the bedrooms/kitchen and a gorgeous view of the bay. We’d definitely stay here again!

This condo is fine. Could use some general maintenance. Didn’t seem super clean, but this is more a function of the aging condition of floors, counters and fixtures. Beds are comfortable. Kitchen is adequately stocked. Management company is very responsive and addressed questions and a couple of issues immediately. The grounds at LaSirena are beautiful and well maintained. The view from the condo is awesome. There is easy access to snorkeling. The outdoor positives offset any shortcomings of the condo itself.

My party of 3 had a fabulous time at La Sirena. The pictures are no lie, this place is beautiful. Great snorkeling in the reef right outside and more lagoon snorkeling right down the street. It was within a gated community and felt very safe. We would definitely stay again.

This place is second to none! The location is the best in Akumal! Snorkeling right out the front door and the most spectacular gardens I’ve seen here anywhere! Just beautiful! The only issue we had was that our unit was not clean to start with and never really got cleaned. A quick sweep of the floors and changing garbage bags out is not cleaning. The unit itself was in need of a deep clean overall. Also the dining room chairs were terribly uncomfortable with the sun poking us in the back every time we sat down and they were very difficult to move. Otherwise this place was lovely. Incredible views and a lovely outdoor patio front and back. Loved it!

We stayed at La Sirena #14 for 8 days. The location is incredible! The snorkeling in the bay is beautiful, and Yal-Ku lagoon is walking distance. There are multiple nearby restaurants that were all excellent! The management was very responsive and answered any questions before/during our trip promptly and professionally. The maid service was good as well. The A/C units worked great, which was very important to us. The unit is stocked with all basic dishware and appliances, all in good condition. The unit was reasonably clean. The pool was clean and well maintained. The only recommendations I would offer are that the unit could use some general maintenance/repair/cleaning (broken counter tiles, moldy grout in showers/corroded shower heads). I also discovered two dead American cockroaches when untying one of the curtains to close it. Not a huge deal, but could be remedied by more frequent deep cleaning. The water pressure was very low and the shower seldom heated up enough to even be considered lukewarm. Not an issue if you travel during the hottest months, but a warm shower would be nice. The beds are very firm, but the abundance of pillows makes this tolerable. Overall our stay was very enjoyable and we look forward to our next visit!

This area has amazing views, largely sargasso free in the rocky northern end, but with fairly easy access to the shallow snorkeling bay. We love it here, and have been coming for years It is mostly a quiet neighborhood, with no highrises in sight. La Sirena has lovely gardens by the large pool which give it an advantage that no other condo complexes have. A wonderful place to stay.

This area has amazing views, largely sargasso free in the rocky northern end, but with fairly easy access to the shallow snorkeling bay. We love it here, and have been coming for years It is mostly a quiet neighborhood, with no highrises in sight. La Sirena has lovely gardens by the large pool which give it an advantage that no other condo complexes have. A wonderful place to stay.

We love off the beaten path, small places to stay in great locations. This condo fit the bill. Snorkeling right out of the back door - and even better, literally just down the adjacent street 200 yards away phenomenal easy calm snorkeling in the Yal Kul lagoon. ($14 a day and well worth it)
We were so impressed with the Akumal team's communications with us - both before and during our stay. Prompt answers, polite and friendly. We arrived very late in the evening and made use of the lockbox next to the door.
Views were unbeatable, ocean breezes kept things cool at night, and one day was so hot we used the in-bedroom air conditioner - a quiet unit that was perfect. Beds were comfy, linens and towels nice and soft. Owners are eco conscious - towels and linens changed after one week. We made use of the clothes drying line. Rose, the daily housekeeper, was wonderful and respectful of our hours.
The kitchen was very well stocked with spices and oils and everything you need to cook - but there are some great little beach side restaurants just down the road. All the places have huge 5 gallon bottles of purified water on the counter and they'll bring a spare if you run out.
We rented a car, but you could easily get around on foot and pay higher prices for food.
Akumal Half Moon Bay was great - no big resorts, lots of places that have been here a long time. We loved having the ocean out one balcony and the pool off another, and were lucky to have quiet neighbors during our stay.
Highly recommend this third floor unit - it was perfect! Pack light - you won't need much more than a bathing suit and a change of clothes. Everything else is here in the condo including blow driers, shampoo and cream rinse.
And thank you to the previous guest for leaving eggs, butter and coffee in the fridge. We returned the favor for the next guest.

We enjoyed our stay here. I loved that the kitchen had everything we would need, including a blender and coffee maker. Wonderful large covered balcony. Air conditioning worked well. There was no hot water in the shower one day, even after letting it run a couple minutes, but it seemed fine the next day. There were some ants in the kitchen, but I assume that's common around here. While the view is nice up on the top floor I wouldn't recommend this particular unit for elderly people or anyone who isn't steady on their feet. It's a lot of stairs up to the unit and many steps inside the unit itself - sunken living room, etc. If you're up for the stairs, it's great. We also enjoyed the swimming pool and access to Half Moon Bay, which was great for snorkeling. Akumal bay is a total circus so it was nice to be here where there are fewer people. We were also able to walk to Yal-Ku Lagoon/Cenote from the condo. There are only two restaurants within walking distance, but they are both good.

La Sirena was an ideal spot to spend our vacation. The location at the north end of Half Moon Bay minimized the impact of the seaweed and provided an easy entrance for snorkeling. The top floor unit was breezy and cool in the day and had a great view of the bay. The staff were very helpful and efficient and the place was spotless. The large pool was clean and inviting, and the garden was beautiful.

We were lucky to spend an entire month at LaSirena and loved every day of it! The condo had a wonderful view, from all rooms, and especially the balcony, where we spent most of our time. Francesca, the onsite manager was friendly, professional, responsive and extremely helpful. The kitchen was large and well equipped, so we cooked quite a bit. We loved the location for a few reasons: it's close proximity to the lagoon for snorkeling, being in the quiet part of town, yet only a mile from all the action, across the street from the National Guard, so we felt very safe. The pool and beach are well maintained and beautiful. Even when the resort was busy, it still felt very spacious and private. We'll come again!

We had a very peaceful and restful time in this beautiful place. The pool and inner court yard is very well maintained and beautiful. Our condo was OK but not as well equipted as it could be. The juicer didn't work and other things were substandard.
One morning I found a large scorpion in the kitchen sink. I killed it and then sent pictures and a message to the fellow from Akumal properties and never did get a response from him.

Our stay at the north end of Half Moon Bay at La Sirena Condos exceeded our expectations! Akumal is a charming, low-fuss village & we weren't interested in some of the other towns nearby that are way to crowded now. The location of our condo was ideal & we literally had the best snorkeling conditions around! There is an abundance of sea life right there: eels, sting rays, many types of colorful fish, sea urchins, coral (always wear water shoes!). We even saw bioluminescence! We had a picture perfect view of the Caribbean Ocean from our balcony & massive ocean facing windows. We were steps away from swimming & snorkeling or just relaxing under a palapa, listening to birds & feeling the breeze under the palm trees. The property was just as it is described, better actually. Everything you need is right there & we stayed for two weeks. Daily maid service was a real treat for us all & it felt like a true vacation not worrying about constant clean up (except tidying up little messes, of course). Akumal Direct always got back to me about any questions I had (& I had a lot!) & they even accommodated us when we needed to make a last minute change. They were incredibly thoughtful & patient which meant so much to our family of four traveling internationally for the first time due to COVID. We decided not to rent a car & stayed closer to home for the duration of our vacation. Instead we rented a golf cart one day & also the on-site bicycles for several days. These modes of transport made going out to dinner (La Buena Vida, Turtle Bay Cafe & Bakery), getting groceries or getting over the bridge to Akumal Pueblo for fresh produce at the local vendor stands much easier. Other than that we walked all over (to dinner a few minutes walk at La Lunita) & to Yal-Ku cenote & lagoon many times (which is a 5 minute walk). The pool area is lovely & the beach is paradise. I enthusiastically recommend this property to anyone looking to visit Akumal. We would love to return one day!!

My husband and I loved staying here. The unit is beautiful and spacious, room for a family or two couples if you wanted to share. The grounds are lovely, the beach front is quiet and you have snorkelling right at your doorstep in the protected bay. You can walk to a few restaurants near by if you want to eat out, or buy some groceries on the way and cook in the full kitchen. Great for entertaining. The lagoon is walking distance away as well. You need to pay to enter, but it would be a great day activity with a young family. Mayan temples near by and the town of Akumal.

The condo we stayed in was overlooking the sea, just as the pictures show. This place is ideal for a quiet vacation. You can hear the surf all the time. The condo is on the third floor and you will have to climb 4 sets of stairs every time you go down to the beach or pool. I would not recommend this place for older people or those with difficulty walking. The location on Half moon bay is farthest away from the restaurants and shops but ok if you have a car. Sometimes you have to pay for parking, if you’re going to the beach for example. The kitchen is well enough appointed to cook meals in. The beds are great. And the air conditioning works well. The lap pool in the garden was lovely. Be sure to buy your groceries in Playa del Carmen or Puerto Aventuras because all food is more expensive in Akumal. Avoid the general Store at all costs. Bring body lotion because the air and sea can be very drying. The WiFi is somewhat weak and intermittent, so definitely get increased coverage for your mobile phone to use data. It’s a great place to chill.

LA SIRENA #14 - is always good for us. We're somewhat long term and may become more so. The unit is showing some age - faded cusions, chipped tiles and grout, the oven doesn't work and the sliding screen door is pretty rough. Once again we ended up with a barking dog in the unit next to us (Iguana #15?) Why people bring their dog and make it sit in their condo all day and night I'll never understand. This poor creature sat at the window and barked the entire time. We are planning a family reunion for next year and may need housing for 10 or so. I'll be looking around. Hector is the best.

I was suprised to find fannel sheets on the king bed in the master bedroom. We enjoy sleeping with the windows open and A/C off. This was very difficult to do with fannel sheets in July. Suggest regular sheets be provided. p.s. The down comfortable was a very nice touch.

things were great ! but I would definitely recommend new bedsheets as the current ones are literally see-through !! not up to par ! Sams nearby has great ones very reasonable.. also, towels had bleach stains and were thin.. I've stayed in Akumal at similar condos 5 different times and this is the first for these issues... there was plastic on the dining chairs also (felt real cheapy ).. the place was great otherwise.. thanks, Stephen I would recommend this condo building, but not this unit.. thanks! Stephen
ps; I'm not a complainer beleive it or not ! but the colors here were also garish.. sorry ! (and I like bright colors)

The view from the condo was wonderul as was the property. There were a couple of very small maintenance items that need fixing (a light swith that needed to be wiggled and a sliding door latch that had to be played with to get it working). There is a very large private pool with lap pool that serves the condo in a beautiful interior garden. The good and bad about the beach is that once in the water there was no sand just coral. So water shoes or if snorkling scuba booties are very helpful. The good news is that the coral begins immediately so you see tropical fish with 15ft of beach. Great place, looking forward to returning.

The grounds and location were great and especially the staff was awesome - but this condo did not look like its picture and was poorly equipped and furnished. There wasn't even a cutting board or a strainer in the kitchen. We had a condo so we could COOK! Felt like the owner had equipped at a garage sale. Saw MUCH better in other units. So, we loved the complex and people, appreciated the great service, but not unit #14.

Hi Robin! Thank you so much for this review. It is very helpful. We have passed it on to the owner and management and expect these issues to be corrected very shortly. Again, thank you for taking the time to let us know. Sydney Reagan

We stayed at La Sirena Unit #14 in AKumal for 10 nights in Feb. 08. The unit is nice but the 52 steps almost killed us. It was 52 steps up and 52 steps down everytime we wanted to go back to our condo for something. We will never again stay in a unit that has steps because we hated the fact that if you were enjoying yourself on the beach in front of the building and had to go to the bathroom or get a snack or whatever, it was 52 steps both ways. We are in and out so much that this was a big inconvenience for us. The unit is very nicely decorated and clean. The view is beautiful. We enjoyed breakfast on the terrace every morning enjoying that view. Only real drawback is the 52 steps. If you don't mind steps, the place is great.

This was a great decision. We stayed in Akumal to have a quieter vacation. The condo was clean, had all appliances working, and the 5-gallon water dispenser was refilled as soon as it got low. I didn't realize there was a DVD player in the condo-I would have brought some movies (as we had rain one or two days) for the kids. We walked to Yal-Ku lagoon, just down the block, and drove to the main beach and shops. Very low key. Went fishing one day and caught a mahi mahi; it was nicely cooked up by the main restaurant for dinner. We had rented a car and drove everywhere-no tours or buses or big hotels. I really liked that the condo was simple, clean, and authentic, not cookie-cutter. No elevator, just 3 flights of stairs. I would highly recommend this place if you are seeking a quieter, simpler vacation. The only downside was the main road that the condos and shops are on-it is simply bumpy, pot-holed, and we probably could have walked faster than we drove-it was that bad. Maybe the price to pay for authentic?
