Laid back life

Our family had the wonderful fortune to stay at Tranquility for a week in late March 2025. The residence is on the second floor and affords a gorgeous view of Half Moon Bay. There is always a lovely, cooling breeze from the ocean, best enjoyed from the sheltered patio or beneath a palapa down on the beach. The condo is clean and kept fresh daily by the housekeeper, Rita. The staff and other residents are very friendly. Franscesca, the manager, welcomes with a smile, and Santiago, one of the grounds crew was especially nice, bringing a water jug to the room and even preparing coconuts to drink (delicioso!).Akumal is peaceful and very laid back. Compared with the traffic and crowds of Cancun and Tulum, it was always a welcome relief to get back to Tranquility and Akumal. In Akumal Playa and along the road to Tranquility, there are several good restaurants and bars. Our favorites were Turtle Bay Cafe and Buena Vida which is on the water and boasts terrific views and gentle breezes off the bay.Nearby are several unique attractions that we all enjoyed, including Yal Ku lagoon (great snorkeling), Akumal Monkey Sanctuary, and lots of cenotes to swim in! The cenotes are other-worldly and experiences that were each unique and well-liked. But after a day of adventure, it was always comforting to return to the laid back and welcoming walls of Tranquility.

A peaceful Paradise

My husband and I and our two kids age 2.5 & 5.5 had such a great experience here. It was beautiful, well taken care of, the staff, owner and other renters were so kind and welcoming to us. The weather was awesome the whole time we were there. The snorkeling was incredible and the surrounding areas were full of welcoming, kind locals and a really great vibe in general. We'll be back!

beautiful view

Lovely condo with stunning view of the Half Moon Bay. Snorkelers will enjoy the opportunity to snorkel in Half Moon Bay in the front yard or walk 5 minutes to Yalku Lagoon if the waves in the bay are high. This is an ideal place to rent a bike to ride into town and enjoy a variety of restaurants or to snorkel with turtles. We also like to drive to Tulum beach (35 minutes) or the turtle preserve (10 minutes).

Amazing Snorkeling off of the Coral Deck

This is a nice unit with a great view of the Half Moon Bay. My only complaint would be that the property had been inspected way prior to our arrival so that the living area A/C would have been working. Extensive repairs made it not so convenient to have done during our stay. We lived with it, and slept in A/C bedrooms. I'm sure it is all fine and dandy now. Staff was great, pool looked great (we spent our time in the bay swimming), great location for excursions and local shops/restaurants. Akumal Dive Center at Akumal Bay was wonderful to dive with. The water was stunning! We can't wait to go back to Akumal.

Relaxing and friendly

Our stay here was very enjoyable and we loved our condo and it's grounds and pool. There is no beach here to walk on which was disappointing, and there were only limited services in walking distance - no actual grocery store for instance, only a couple of 7-11 type shops. To get to better restaurants was a considerable walk or bike ride - and the selection there was limited and food only so, so. We rented a car (VERY expensive!) for a couple of days to explore a bit and buy food at a proper grocery store. Snorkeling was good in front of the condo although you had to walk out through very shallow water over rock and reef quite a distance to get there. The reef is not in great shape but there were enough fish to make it interesting. Also, there is a nice senote in walking distance.

Beautiful Location

This is a wonderful property! Although it has AC, we never used it and enjoyed the beautiful onshore breeze that cooled the condo. The large front patio was great for the morning. By 11 it was in the sun for the rest of the day. However, there was a shady second patio that had a fabulous view of the resort. Note: The two bathrooms have tripping hazards at the doorway. They each have an approximately 1 1/2" lip than is higher than the floor in the hall and master. This is not safe for an elderly traveler. We both stubbed our toes numerous times. This is a design element that is original to the building.

Great stay in well maintained condo

We had great time staying at Diana’s place and enjoyed condo with it’s beautiful garden, bay front location and privacy it provides. The suit has everything you need for a long stay. We managed one week without a car, but you need a car if you don’t want to depend on taxi and explore the area. Diana was very accommodating and gave good suggestions with whatever questions we had.

Wonderful Condo!

The condo was just wonderful. Nice balcony off the living room, and another one overlooking the pool, gorgeous view of half moon bay. Comfortable beds. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The snorkeling was pretty good. Water shoes are a must, lots of rocks. Lots of undersea life, start floating as soon as you can. We saw so many people walking with fins on not caring what they were stepping on. The owner had menu copies and great information about the area in the room. The on-site staff were great and friendly. Definitely recommend this condo.

Beautiful condo on the beach, perfect for a family

This condo is stunning with high ceilings and a bay window on the sea. The location is at the end of the road so it is very quiet, perfect for a family stay. The snorkeling in front of the condo is awesome, we saw stingrays, eagle rays, turtles, squids, and a lot of fishes! Thanks Diana, we will come back!

Most relaxing trip ever

We wanted a holiday to do some snorkeling, and just relax. La Sirena provided everything and more than we expected. Arrangements for shuttle service from the Cancun airport was made with the manager which included a stop on the way to stock up on groceries. When entering the grounds to La Sirena we were amazed by the beautiful landscaping and the cleanliness of the property and the pool. The staff were friendly and always willing to make our stay a comfortable one. The condo itself was excellent. Everything you needed was available. We mostly enjoyed the ocean view from the living room and the patio. You did not have to displace yourself to go snorkeling, as the reef is directly in front of the property. You do need water shoes to enter the water (make sure they fit in your fins) We saw a variety of fish, berracuda and spotted eagle ray. 5 minutes away there was a lagoon where you could go snorkeling. If you needed groceries, it was 1/2 hour walk away and there was a good variety of restaurants. I would highly recommend this location for its' cleanliness, oceanview, friendly staff, landscaping, variety of birds in the morning.

Beautiful location - a bit of a sleepy area

Half Moon Bay is beautiful especially if you like snorkeling. The condo we stayed in was well kept and comfortable. The area is very quiet, sort of a sleepy town. We prefer a more vibrant area however Akumal is fantastic to just relax and there are some great restaurants in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Diana

Host profile image
Andreas and Caroline bought the condo to share with our family and friends, and now grandchildren! We have family reunions here, and enjoy especially coming in the winter to get away from the cold! Our condo has brought us many special memories, as we all have learned to snorkel , dive and spend quality time together.

Why they chose this property

Our little complex, La Sirena is special in that we have double the space that other properties in HMB. This allows us to have a wonderful large pool, as well as gardens and no crowds on our beach. The set up of our building is such that it feels more like attached houses, not condos.

What makes this property unique

We love sitting anywhere in the condo and having a fabulous view and gardening on our grounds. We love to go snorkeling right out in our bay, seeing the baby fishes that have just hatched, and swimming with the turtles. And then in the evenings at dusk walking the beach watching the flocks of pelicans fly inland for the night, and then grilling out on our beach and watching the sun go down.
