Penthouse 280 Views/Outdoor Living/Pool/Gardens

ALL beachfront properties have good views of Half Moon Bay, but this condo has superlative views. Actually impossible to photograph as they are almost 270 degrees. Post card perfect!

The dreaded sargassum (seaweed) plagues much of the Caribbean and Mexican beaches. But our little complex, La Sirena, is one of the very few that has NONE due to our location on Half Moon Bay. Our clean beach combined with having twice the space as other complexes the same size, creates a very special private resort feel.

Originally built for one of the first land owners of Akumal, this condo is uniquely situated that it has the ultimate in Caribbean viewing for this area; beautiful towards both the south (towards Akumal Bay) and also to the north (Yal Ku). On a very clear day, you can see all the way up the coast to Puerto Aventuras, about 10 miles north. Combine this location, with Azul Cielo's extra expansive outdoor spaces, make this condo a uniquely special place.

Azul Cielo is located in the La Sirena condominium complex, which is on the northern end of Half Moon Bay. Half Moon Bay is now considered 'north' Akumal, just north of Akumal Bay, and where the majority of beach front condos and houses are, but NO large hotels! La Sirena is known for it's extra large pool (even with a lap lane), it's expansive gardens, and the largest beach area (double the width) of other complexes in Akumal. And just off our beach is a stunning coral reef providing the best snorkeling in miles.

Azul Cielo, is on the third floor, and has floor-to-ceiling windows for a complete unobstructed view across the full width of the condo. The beach-side covered patio is outfitted with fotons for fabulous lounging, and also dining, making it into a complete outdoor, but protected california lifestyle. Sleep, eat, or just be mezmerized by the best sunset views in Akumal.

The open floor plan consists of a large open combined kitchen and living area. The recent remodeled kitchen boasts South American granite, and cabinetry made of local hardwoods. It is fully outfitted with full size appliances, and everything needed for making your culinary favorites while gazing at the bay.

The condo has two large bedrooms along with two bathrooms. Each bedroom has king size beds with super comfortable orthopedic mattresses and pillows. The garden side bedroom has an on-suite bathroom, whose shower boasts a large window down into the gardens.

Just off the garden sized bedroom is a another large outdoor area, replete with seating. Views here are of our wonderful gardens and pool, the jungle and more of the Caribbean.

Azul Cielo is fully outfitted for a wonderful relaxing vacation. She has air conditioning throughout, as well as ceiling fans in every room, secured wireless internet, daily maid service, and English based satellite TV.

Our complex, La Sirena, is known for its wonderful tropical gardens which attract migrating butterflies, hummingbirds and even the occasional monkey! Within the gardens is our large pool boasting Caribbean blue tiles and even a large lap lane. This is a favored place to relax after time spent on the beach and sand.

La Sirena is located on the northern end of Half Moon Bay, now called North Akumal. As two lots were combined to create our complex, we have double the space AND BEACH as other complexes having the same amount of units.

Akumal is sixty miles south of Cancun International Airport, south on the four lane, newly renovated highway 307. Half Moon Bay (HMB) s considered the 'original' Akumal, along with Akumal Bay. HMB is where most of the beachfront houses and small condo complexes are; and is a designated ecological zone, therefore it is very low density. So while you are close to everything you are in the middle of nowhere as it is very private and quieter. North Akumal is a quiet, laid-back area focused on our beautiful bay and beaches, snorkeling and pristine diving. There are Mayan ruins, golf, nature parks, cenotes, even active nightlife.

As travelers ourselves we have adapted our policies to be much more supportive than the standard, including more flexible payment and cancellation options. We have also implemented the most modern current cleaning protocols. And our staff are dedicated only to us, they don't move around to other complexes... Less exposure. Finally our complex is twice the size as others, with the same number of units. So social distancing is natural. Check out our website for details!

Everything is provided for a stress free vacation: free parking, Wifi, daily maid service (except on Sunday), unlimited bottled water delivered to the unit, full air conditioning, satellite TV, all linens, including beach towels, and so much more! Let us know what you wish!

At Azul Cielo you can have the perfect combination of a relaxing yet invigorating vacation!

As a reminder, we follow a seasonal cancellation policy. As there are constant changes being made by the OTAs, this may not always be reflected properly in their system. As an integrated partner with proven exceptional service and fairness, our Rental Agreement takes precedence. For Details see our rule or feel free to ask Ask Questions.

Wonderful stay
Lovely condo that is accurately described in the listing. You can tell this is a second home for the owner with the nice amenities and extra supplies of spices and toiletries. Only complaints which was minor is the low water pressure in the shower but that's part of living near water.

Week in Paradise
We just returned from a wonderful week stay in Azul Cielo. Diana was a gracious host, quickly responding to any questions we had. The condo was clean and well equipped, with lovely views of the water. We spent many hours relaxing under the palapas and snorkeling right off the property in Half Moon Bay. The pool area is an added bonus, surrounded by beautiful landscaping. La Sirena is perfectly located on a quiet street, walking distance from several excellent restaurants, Akumal Beach and the amazing Yal Ku lagoon. The Tulum Mayan ruins are a quick 30 min drive from La Sirena. The entire week was filled with fun and relaxation - we can’t wait to return!

Nice spot
Had a hard time finding it, but everything worked and it was well supplied. Nice view, but the surf was up and snorkeling in front wasn’t good.

Perfect location in paradise!
Just returned from a wonderful stay at Azul Cielo in this gorgeous location. The condo was lovely, everything we needed for our stay and more, and Diana was incredibly helpful and informative - from assisting with transfers to a wealth of information about the area and suggestions of what to do. Was a great idea of hers to stop for groceries on the drive down to stock up for our stay as limited grocery shopping in Akumal - we went over to the pueblo to the farmers market and stocked up on fresh fruit and vegetables galore. We were there for ten days but only left Akumal once - spent most of our time at the reef right outside our front door. Great snorkeling and steps away from the condo which is on the third floor and has a fabulous view of the bay from a lovely balcony with lush greenery - enjoyed the peacefulness and quiet of our location. Plenty of bars/restaurants down the road in Akumal - it's a bit of a hike in the heat but we rented a golf cart to get around. Yal Ku lagoon was right on our doorstep and we spent a lovely day there snorkeling - be aware that no sunscreen is allowed so bring a rash guard - go early before the crowds arrive. We snorkeled in Akumal Bay (must have a guide but he was great) and saw the magnificent sea turtles - an awesome experience! An absolutely wonderful vacation in a great location - highly recommend!

Relaxing Getaway
The Azul Cielo suite in the La Sirena condo complex is the perfect size for 3-4 people. The unit was clean, well-appointed, and what appliances we used were functioning. The view is spectacular from the south-facing deck which is mostly protected from the prevalent westerlies. Snorkeling and other water gear are provided, along with an exercise ball, a yoga mat, wireless speakers, and two TVs (one in the kitchen and one in the interior bedroom). The beds are hard but have foam toppers. We were there for 11 days but the sheets were not changed after a week per the instructions. The water pressure in the back bedroom shower was weak, so we only used the central shower. Otherwise, the suite met our needs.

Overall a Great Experience
3rd time staying on Half Moon Bay. I'd rate this location 4.5 stars if it would let me, but overall giving it a 4* due to just a few small things. Had a few housekeeping issues, and the property manager never really came to address, but Diana was 5* in working with us throughout. This unit on the 3rd floor has tremendous views - it is in good shape, and everything we needed was there. Beach and pool are both fantastic (beach is man-made mind you but that is clearly an advantage on HMB ). The property itself is clean & well maintained (the grounds). Anyway, we would recommend this unit and will be returning some day I'm sure.

Halfmoon bay at Akumal
Nice 2 bedroom condo on the beach, would definitely stay there again. Kitchen was well set up, bathrooms were clean and beds were really comfortable. Nice view of the bay, comfortable balcony and short walk to good restaurant. On the North end of the road around the bay so a quiet location. 5 minute walk to the lagoon for snorkeling. Only minor problem, the hot water pilot light blew out and had to be re-lit.

Relaxing week on Half moon bay
The property is as described. The condo is spacious, charming, and has character. Loved the high ceilings and the views. We stayed here Christmas week 2019. there were very few people along the entire Half-moon bay. The condo and the area in general were very quiet - great for a laid back, relaxing vacation.

Good in many ways
Had a nice vacation here. The good: Property is clean and neat. Beautiful view of bay and really gorgeous courtyard. Really comfortable beds and service was excellent. Lots of filtered water refilled without even asking. The grounds are meticulously well-maintained, including grooming of the beach area. Pool is clean, clear, and a nice place to spend some time surrounded by the beautiful plants. Free and abundant parking out front and an easy walk to Yal-ku. Check-in was simple even though we arrived very late at night. The bad: uncomfortable furniture, couches actually built in to the wall at right angles. We gave up on sitting together in the living area and piled onto the master bed. Other chairs are good for eating at the table but little else. Literally no comfortable place to sit and lounge. No microwave oven (odd, right?). Unpleasant smells in master bathroom. No hot water last 1.5 days and we didn’t have time to follow up before our flight out. The only fully functional TV was in the bedroom which, again, made it hard to enjoy time together unless we were all on the bed. Other: Plants are everywhere on the balcony. Pretty and nice, but so many that you really can’t sit and enjoy the view; they block it. Next door condo was sometimes party central with music booming late into the night twice during our stay. Our condo owners dealt with it after that so the nights were then quiet but the music still blared through the day. There never seemed to be anyone at the office or check-in area. We did get quick responses to emails but that’s not really real-time help if you need it. More generally, sargassum seaweed was awful in the bay so snorkeling was unpleasant about half the days. That was a shame because we had hoped to do more snorkeling. The sea wall at the condo, though, keeps it from piling up and stinking here like it does on much of the rest of the bay. Really this was one of the few places on Half-Moon Bay not beleaguered by the stench of rotting sargassum seaweed. We had to hold our breath through certain stretches around the bay as we biked or drove into town. One final note. If you have little kids please be aware that the balcony railing is only two horizontal boards and it looks like it would be very easy for a small child to slip through.
