This was our second stay in Vista del Mar. This time we rented three condos: one for each of my daughters' families and a top floor studio for my husband and me. The studio was wonderful with a private super-large balcony and gorgeous ocean views, a picture window in the bathroom, and a little kitchenette. It was good that my... More

Ahhhh....relaxation to the 10th degree. We had a two-night stay in a three bedroom condo with some family and friends. It was a great way to share some time all together, and some time to ourselves if we chose. More

My husband and I were married on the beach at Vista del Mar and had our reception at La Buena Vida in Dec of 2010. We had over 50 guest stay at Vista del Mar and everyone was pleased! The pricing is good, location is fantastic and the snorkeling out your front door can't be beat! Everyone loved it so... More

Our 10 person extended family rented 2 2-bedroom condos right on the beach as well as a studio condo upstairs from one of the units. I love the location, right on Half Moon Bay about halfway between Akumal Bay and Yal-Ku lagoon. Although the entrance to the water on HMB is rocky, you can snorkel right outside your sliding glass...

A friend in the US said we had to go to Akumal when we were in Mexico. So my daughter and headed down for the day and ended up abandoning our hotel in Cancun and stayed at Vista del Mar for the remainder of our trip in Mexico. This is what a vacation is all about..... If you are high... More

You can't beat the location of this hotel. It IS what Mexico is about. However, it seems as though the rooms are not as well maintained. Service is always nice and rooms are kept fairly clean, but some time and money should be spent in room maintenance. The ceiling blade fans and bathroom light fixture are rusted, the window curtains... More

Just returned from a lovely vacation with our family at Vista del Mar. We rented a 2 bedroom and a 3 bedroom condo. They were cleaned daily and well maintained. The beach front location is terrific. We found the staff friendly and accommodating. More

This is what I imagined the real Mayan Riviera to be like. Opening the patio door to the sight and sounds of ocean, literally steps away. Great neighborhood restaurants and bars within walking or biking distance. Pricing was average, no more expensive than what you pay going out in the US. Sometimes even cheaper. Clean, comfortable rooms with very affordable... More

We were very disappointed with the Vista Del Mar. It felt like hostel accommodations at luxury prices. The showers were particularly awful. Extremely low pressure. Also there were lots of tiny ants in the bathroom. The entire condo was poorly maintained. Lots of cracks in the tile, and mildew everywhere. The towels were very thin and frayed. I would not...

For an inexpensive stay, this is a good option, though I wouldn't recommend staying longer than 2 days. The room was small but adequate, with a lovely balcony view of the ocean. Problem was that the entire place had a musty, moldy smell that was hard to escape. Beach had biting bugs (noseems?) and so bring repellant. Excellent location with... More
