Located in the center of Half Moon Bay in the northern part of Akumal, Luna Azul #5, combines the best of modern conveniences and services with the pristine beauty of the Caribbean. Think mesmerizing ocean views, sun-drenched white beaches of Half Moon Bay and Akumal, and schools of colorful fish swimming in front of your balcony.

Another advantage of Luna Azul Condominiums is their affordability and tranquility.

Loved the unit! Clean

Loved the unit! However due to the sargasso the beach wasn’t very nice. If you go to the south cove where all the sea turtle diving is, it’s beautiful. The management company did let us know the sargasso was not great and did allow us to cancel the booking right when I booked it. That was really nice. We just thought we would take a chance since everyday is different. The unit itself is older however it was clean. The only negative was the concrete built-in sofa. The cushions that were made for it wasn’t very comfortable. Therefore we didn’t sit much in the living room.

Luna Azul is in a quaint, quiet, and beautiful spot. The unit (#5) was perfect, overlooking the beach, perfect for sunrises, with everything you could want. It was decorated in a classic manner that added calm and beauty to the stay. You can walk to restaurants and stores, swim and snorkel in the bay at your doorstep. We had a car, which was needed for us. We walked 2 minutes to the local store for some essentials, and to a couple of restaurants, but mostly were driving to tourist attractions. In Half Moon Bay, we swam in warm, clear water, though with seaweed, the beach was not always easy to walk along, but doable. Snorkeling in the south side of the bay, we saw rays, squid, anemones, urchin, and loads of the gorgeous fish you find on Yucatan reefs. The reefs were in decent shape with varieties of coral, though more of it was just north of the center of the bay. Outdoor showers for rinsing, umbrellas and chairs to enjoy the view from. Pretty, safe, clean, just perfect. The description was accurate in all ways.

We loved out Luna Azul condo and were delighted to find that Akumal hasn't changed since our last visit in 2007. But the best part was Scott Brown, who was absolutely wonderful as a property manager. We weren't too thrilled with the condo we originally booked, but Scott managed to find us other accommodations and let us transfer locations. He was always pleasant and eager to please. Akumal Direct is the best!

We had a great time with our three kids (5-11 years old).
When the sea is calm you can spend the whole day Snorkeling in front of your apartment! You can eat for affordable prices in Akumal or stock up the large refrigerator and cook for yourself. Sometimes there were little ants in the kitchen, which did not really bother us.

Manager's Response

Thank you Anne,

We're so glad that you found Luna Azul 5 to your liking during your stay. As far as the seaweed goes, this has been an ongoing topic and many efforts have been implemented by residents and HOA. Unfortunately, mother nature cannot be contained but hopefully the barrier that will be installed this summer can help. Do let us know when you're ready to join us again and we'll gladly give you an update on the seaweed.

Wonderful 2 weeks in peace and quiet. No kids yelling, no volleyball on the beach or loud music...nothing to disturb the wonderful sound of waves and the wishhhhh of palm trees in the wind. We loved every minute and felt it was rejuvenating and mind restoring. We hope Half Moon Bay stays this way.
The only con and the reason for four stars and not five, is the king bed mattress needs to be replaced. One side is softer than the other and I found myself embedded in the morning. I exchanged sides with my husband and the other side is still too soft.
Other than that this condo was perfect for us, the whole staff was lovely and helpful. Convenient location to everything. We would love to go back.

Manager's Response

Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback, Fred! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay in Luna Azul #5! We've received some mixed feedback on the mattresses with some people saying they're too soft and some too firm so the owners purchased a mattress topper in hopes to satisfy as many guests as possible.The mattress topper can be added or removed upon request. We hope your return to Akumal soon and give these beds another go! Happy travels! :)

We would stay again!

It was a very beautiful place to stay, well designed and maintained. Being in the front room, we felt like we were outside! It is right on the beach with gorgeous views. The ocean was fabulous! It’s a little rocky getting in and out, water shoes were a must. We appreciated the privacy. It was very clean and well-appointed. David, the concierge, was available and very helpful. We loved our stay!

A friend and i stayed at Luna Azul for 8 days. It is the perfect place to chill and enjoy lovely weather, crystal clear water and Mexican hospitality. We asked our maid to only come every other day - though she was supposed to come daily - and she did a fabulous job cleaning.
Everyone was so friendly and helpful.
Restaurants La Buena Vida and La Lunita are minutes away by foot and offer really tasty food at affordable prices.
All service workers wear masks and hand sanitizers/ temp taking are offered at most restaurants.
The Midway convenience store across from our villa had all the essentials st better prices than the Chomak in town and the chica working there was helpful and very accommodating.
Our only complaint was that taxi prices were inconsistent - we were told a taxi from our villa to Akumal Pueblo would be $10 US (by the guys in the office). We were actually charged $12 one way and $15 the other . When we questioned this (I am fluent in Spanish) they shrugged and basically said “That’s what I charge”, unfortunately making us feel we were being taken advantage of. Another couple staying at Luna Azul said they only paid $7 for the same trip.
Also - the communication I got from Locogringonsaid that the Covid test would be about $17 when it was in fact $44 ��
Overall, a very satisfactory experience. I had been to Luna Azul about 20 years ago and found that particular stretch of beach pretty much unchanged and as lovely as ever.
We didn’t want to travel much outside the resort because of Covid, but I would recommend renting a car if you’re going to spend more than a few days. Akumal is about a mile walk along brick-paved streets and you probably don’t want to do that every day. Akumal Pueblo on the other side of the highway seems impossible to get to without a car. And of course there are so many wonderful ruins, cenotes, and colonial towns to visit as well.

I had been to Luna Azul about 20 years ago and found that particular stretch of beach pretty much unchanged and as lovely as ever.<br/>We didn&#x2019;t want to travel much outside the resort because of Covid, but I would recommend renting a car if you&#x2019;re going to spend more than a few days. Akumal is about a mile walk along brick-paved streets and you probably don&#x2019;t want to do that every day. Akumal Pueblo on the other side of the highway seems impossible to get to without a car. And of course there are so many wonderful ruins, cenotes, and colonial towns to visit as well.

We enjoyed our stay in Akumal. The house was great and looks exactly as shown in the photos. Location is good and near La Buena Vida restaurant and a small market. The staff at the office is very friendly and helpful. The house was very clean, kitchen had everything you need, SmartTV in each bedroom, and blow dryers were available on both bathrooms. I would recommend renting a golf cart as we used it daily to go into the main part of town for breakfast and or dinner. Our only complaint is the beds could be more comfortable in the guest bedroom. We absolutely loved Akumal.

This spot was a perfect location complimented by incredible guest management. I wanted a relaxing location where I could spend all day looking and hearing the sounds of the ocean. I got this and so much more. We went snorkeling, rented a golf cart to drive into the little village, and swam/hiked in an underground cave. The nearby restaurants served tasty food. But what stood out was how helpful all of the staff was to help us navigate our trip, get taxi's and transportation, correct our mishaps (lost the key to the golf cart), and be pleasant all the time. The maintenance team kept the place spotless. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect location and experience. Just what I needed & wanted. Thank you.

Before deciding on Unit#5, I did a lot of research. I had preferred a condo with a pool, but this unit and price was perfect. The unit is beautiful and the view and sound of the ocean is unmatched. We were able to walk to a little store, to La Buena Vida and La Lunita. It's located walking distance to the most amazing snorkeling of Yal-Ku Lagoon. We also went to Xel-Ha, Xpu-Ha and the monkey sanctuary. All VERY close. Went to Lol-Ha and listened to a band. Swam with the turtles and went to Puerto Aventuras and Playa Del Carmen. Everything close and easy. The office staff and cleaning staff were wonderful. We rented a car and that was our only initial difficulty(nothing to do with this rental unit) Do NOT use or any other at the airport. After America Rental Cars failed to pick us up at the airport, we called Yes Rental Cars. They provided amazing service for a total of 7 days with insurance and taxes for $315. The night before our trip to Xel-Ha, the car was acting up. I called at 10:00pm and they dropped off an upgraded car by 8:00am the next morning. You definitely need water shoes for most swimming. Miss being there already.

Amazing views from every room and all the comforts of home. Full kitchen with everything we needed and comfortable beds. Big walk in showers and built in blow dryers made it convenient. Patio bar was lovely for afternoon margaritas. Snorkle gear to borrow and great snorkeling right from the beach. Can't wait to come back.

This is a sweet location. We were there over X mas and the beach was pretty unpopulated. Snorkeling is great if you are willing to go out about 200 - 300 yards (the water remains fairly shallow, warm, calm, and is clearer that far out). I saw all sorts of fish and a stingray! Accommodations are more than sufficient with abundant seating, full kitchen, and 3 beds. My only regrets are 1.) stated there was a hair dryer and there was not one and 2.) beds and bed pillows were way too firm. Even when I used a platform bed, I have never stayed on such hard mattresses. // If you have been to AKUMAL before, expect it to be much bigger and it has lost its authenticity trying to meet tourists needs while also trying to protect the turtles and their nesting areas. On the street where this condo is there are lots of options for getting some good food, some live music, and some good drinks while taking in the view. All in all - a great place.

What a wonderful place to spend more than just a few days in Akumal! We enjoyed our first week so much, that we ended up extending our stay. It really was our happiest time in Mexico and we can not recommend the team at AkumalDirect enough. They were very helpful during our stay and communication was very smooth. Our stay at Luna Azul enabled us to spend our days close to the ocean, explore the cenotes, enjoy the local restaurants, and even dive some of the most beautiful sights of Mexico. While part of our stay was definitely restricted due to the outbreak of the Corona virus, we felt safe in Akumal and had everything at hand to “self confine in paradise”. Unlike nearby, more touristic places, like Tulum and Playa del Carmen, Akumal attracts nature lovers and a slightly older crowd, like retired people, couples and families. The local community makes sure to keep Akumal the beautiful and tranquil place it is, where even while out snorkeling you might catch a glimpse of a turtle. Come to Luna Azul to relax and enjoy the beauty of simplicity. We hope to come back soon!

Great condo, great location in a very quiet and safe neighborhood. Several restaurants within walking distance (Que Onda is some of the best Italian food we've had anywhere!). Half moon bay is very good for snorkeling, just bring your water shoes as it is rocky in spots.

We continue to come back year after year because we enjoy the accommodations and the area immensely. The condo is kept clean, we have orioles and warblers in the palm trees off the veranda, we can see turtles and stingrays from the porch and the snorkeling is superb. Throw in some Mayan ruins, the Carribean blue of the water and the sound of rolling rocks on the shore and what more could you want?

Akumal definitely exudes more of an ex-pat versus "authentico" feel, but our family agreed it is the perfect base for a trip to QRoo. The clear and still waters of Akumal Beach lapping up onto the white sand are amazing, as are the shallow snorkeling wonders of Half Moon Bay. And the food! Not nearly enough time to sample all of the exceptional restaurants. Our Akumal favorites were La Lunita (never has grouper been prepared so well as on their Christmas Eve menu & they also win best margarita in Akumal), Turtle Bay Bakery (sticky buns!), Lol Ha (our favorite guacamole on this trip), and Que Onde. As for our condo, a few of the pluses at Luna Azul #5: Location! Sunrise! Clear ocean! Kitchen! Hot water showers! Comfortable beds in spacious rooms! Great restaurants nearby! What I would add if I owned #5: A comfortable chair or two for reading. Improved guest suggestion book with restaurant menus, more detailed recommendations of how-to's, and insider tips. More small rugs. Hints on how to get rid of ants (ouch!). Maps of the area, even if a large wall map. Overall, a lovely place and we were very happy to spend Christmas with our family in Akumal!

This was our second stay in Akumal and second stay at Luna Azul. Everything was WONDERFUL! The staff is so helpful. Jorge at Luna Azul was there when I needed him and extra helpful with anything we (about 14 of us at Luna Azul) needed. We will be back. Marieke was also wonderful. She picked up where Leslie left off and was absolutely amazing. The entire staff is probably the best of any place that I have visited.

Great place for a family vacation. It's quiet, but not too secluded. Plenty of services nearby. Good snorkeling just outside the door in the bay. Plus the lagoon is just a short walk away. The Mayan ruins of Coba and Tulum are each a fun day trip. (Just arrive early to avoid the crowds and heat.) The only minor problem was having to open the south window in the living room in order to get internet connection.

The space is open, cheery, well laid out, and has a wonderful ocean view. It comfortably accommodated dinners for 11 (our family staying elsewhere). A nice breeze flows through the unit, and the sound of waves is lovely. The staff was professional and helpful. Other guests were unnecessarily territorial about the limited beach lounges, which was unpleasant. Overall, we would highly recommend the place.

As usual I had a great stay in Akumal. I stayed at both Luna Azul & The Reef condos. I have been going to Akumal for the last 20 years. Although it's getting to be more known, it's still the best kept secret south of Cancun.

We were awestruck by the beautiful sunrises, the gentle waves breaking on our private beach and the balmy weather in December. There were several wondeful restaurants in the area and terrific snorkeling. Esp4ecially liked the lagoon about half a mile away. I would definitely recommend this condo and would go again. The only negative we found was the access road. It was hard to negotiate, but was being worked on so perhaps is better by now. Too many pot holes!
