Spacious and beautiful penthouse condo, perfect for a large group!

One of our favorite units and definitely an Akumal classic, Penthouse at the Reef is a very special four bedroom, four bath condominium, occupying the entire third floor of The Reef. Recently remodeled, this luxury suite is stylish and chic. It is the only 4 bedroom condo in Akumal.

The stunning hand painted mural upon entering the 3rd floor is your first clue that this is no ordinary unit. As you enter into the penthouse, you are greeted by a large picture window with an incredible view of Half Moon Bay that leads to an expansive oceanfront terrace and outdoor living area. The ideal place to entertain and enjoy this amazing vista.

The owners created an elegant and beach themed space and their care is evident throughout the condo. Delight in the modern, fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and extra large breakfast bar for seating. Enjoy gourmet meals at the custom made dining table while taking in the views of the Caribbean. There is also a water filter for drinking water.

The Penthouse has four private and well appointed bedrooms. The Master features a king bed, Smart TV, ensuite bathroom and oceanfront terrace that can be locked off for seclusion. The oceanfront guest suite is just as beautiful with a king and a queen bed, Smart TV, ensuite bathroom and a beachfront terrace.

The jungle view guest bedroom has two custom made bunk beds each with a double and single bed and a Smart TV. It also has its own private bathroom with dual sinks and soaking tub. The 4th bedroom is a studio suite with its own full service kitchen, queen bed, and private entry, this bedroom is great for those that want extra privacy.

The Reef has a great central location on Half Moon Bay. Easy walk to La Buena Vida or La Lunita restaurants. With direct access to the beach and snorkeling, the Penthouse at the Reef is the best property for your upcoming vacation to Akumal

KINDLY NOTE: During the summer months, south winds may bring Sargasso Seaweed to some beaches throughout the Caribbean, including the Riviera Maya.

The Riviera Maya is full of natural beauty, places to explore and opportunities for outdoor activities. We have a great list of activities and adventures completely unaffected by the arrival of sargasso that we would love to share with you. There is so much to see and do in this special place, we know that you will have an amazing and memorable vacation!

Half Moon Bay condo
This was a wonderfully spacious beachfront condo for our group of 8. Although difficult to get through the rocks just offshore, once through we snorkeled and saw a great variety of tropical fish. The unit is walking distance to.a small convenience store, a lovely Mexican handicrafts shop and three great restaurants. Nearby Yal-Ku offered great snorkeling, and don't miss the cavern tour at Aktun-Chen. Overall a great stay in a lovely, quiet spot.

Remember your in Mexico
We enjoyed our experience in Mexico. We experienced no hot water, blackout, early morning construction noise, and of course, no Air Conditioning due to the outage for 24hrs. Remember, this location is in a residential area. This means you are exposed to the mentioned elements of a residential stay and not like hotel accommodations. The Penthouse was a perfect location for the price, and we made the most out of our holiday and vacation. Being flexible is the best advice because you never know what environmental elements you will succumb to.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Penthouse was a wonderful place to spend our vacation with our two sons and their families. Everything from the layout/flow and comfort of the complex worked for us. The balconies and views were exceptional. The daily maid service kept everything clean and tidy-the maid was great as was the condo management team who made themselves available on a timely basis when we needed assistance. WE did not need a car because of the great location and did rent a golf cart to access some areas within Akumal Bay. Our overall experience rates a +5 and we are so grateful that we were able to spend time at this condo in Akumal.

Great condo on Half Moon Bay
The Penthouse condo has a wonderful view of the bay, and the location is great. We enjoyed the nearby restaurants (La Buena Vida, Jungle Cafe, and La Lunita), plus there is a small grocery store very close by. We rented a golf cart for the week which we took to town, the Lagoon and Monkey Sanctuary. The bedrooms all were very nice and the kitchen had most anything needed. We prepared breakfasts at home each day. And we greatly appreciated the housekeeping services. The concierge arranged Chef Daveed Services to prepare dinner in our Penthouse one night which was a highlight. Definitely recommend doing this. The concierge also arranged our airport transportation which was very helpful. One note is that there is no elevator and while our family had no issue carrying our baggage and doing the stairs to the 3rd floor every day, some may not like this. The surf was a bit rough on the days we were there so the snorkeling from the beach was not that great but we did see some fish and had nice walks on the beach. Going to the Yal Ku Lagoon which is very close was fantastic. We initially had an issue with the hot tub but the property manager quickly helped us correct the issue. Overall we greatly enjoyed the property, felt comfortable, safe and had all the support and services to ensure a pleasant stay.

Akumal Family Vacation
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful views, loved falling asleep to the sound of the ocean! If you’re looking for a relaxing place away from the crowds, this is it. We stayed mostly in, walked to the Lunita restaurant down for drinks and snorkeled all day. My brother even got married on the beach, and they allowed it because it was a very small private wedding. It was one of our best vacations ever, and that says a lot considering it’s Covid season and we’ve been everywhere. We’ll be back for sure!

NO AC!!!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were very disappointed to find out that we had no AC and to top it off it rained the whole time so it made it difficult to keep the windows open!!! we had booked another room in the building that had AC and thought when reading the information on the website that they all did. I would note on your descrips in large caps that the penthouse does not have AC. We would not have stayed there had we clearly seen that. Other than that it was a nice place. Won't stay there again though, Mexico is too hot to not have AC.

Great location!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay at the Penthouse at the Reef. Plenty of space for our family members, comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, very quiet and peaceful, with extremely easy access to the beach. The views were wonderful--sunrise was a favorite time. It was extremely pleasant to just sit out on the balcony and read in the afternoon if we didn't feel like going to the beach. And the enormous hot tub was a big hit. The staff members were all very friendly and helpful. We especially loved the cenote tour they recommended.

Beautiful condo. Snorkel right from the beach!
This part of Akumal is a sleepy strip of small condos along the waterfront. Every day we walked up the beach to a small restaurant with ridiculously fresh fish. We snorkeled right from the beach (I almost ran into two large stingrays!). The vibe is super relaxed and friendly. The condo itself is spacious and well-appointed. You can hear the waves as you fall asleep. We had maid service every day, and the place was spotless. We sent laundry out and it was back by 10am. We loved our stay here!

Everything and then some
The place was more than what was described. We couldn’t have asked for better accommodations. The only negative for this trip was the sea grass. But that was our fault for not researching into it more. Even with that the place made up for it. Very well stocked kitchen. Do yourself a favor if you stay here. Have them set up Marcelino to come cook for you. It was fabulous and from that visit we set up with his son a private swim with the turtles tour. Such a great vacation

Horrible Beach
We stayed in the penthouse and the penthouse itself was just as described and what you see on pictures, beautiful. The only thing they need to fix is the front door, too hard to close and lock. The beach was awful, smelled really bad due seaweed, weren’t able to swim or enjoy the beach at all. We stayed 3 nights and it smelled horrible those 3 days, specially in the evenings. The renter said we have some seaweed but it didn’t say it was mountains of seaweed and that the smell was unbearable even inside the penthouse . It literally made us sick to the stomach.
