Amazing property right above a delicious restaurant. The view is beautiful and the condo was very comfortable and private. Walkable to town, very close to several great restaurants including La Lunita, the Jungla Cafe, and La Buena Vida. Would stay here again for sure!

I loved my time in Hacienda La Tortuga. The pool was fantastic, and the sea was beautiful—you can even go snorkeling there. At night, there are a few restaurants where you can enjoy food and drinks in a very nice atmosphere. I would definitely love to come back for a third visit.

Condo was as described. Enjoyed the view from the balcony and the beach facilities. Area was great for restaurants and activities. Maid service an added plus.
The cond could use a little updating and master bath shower/tub was difficult to get in and out of for us seniors. Tile was slippery, no grab bars or anti-slip mats.

Great stay for family of 4! Nice location on half-moon bay. Too bad about seaweed build up, but didn’t cause us to change any snorkeling plans. Will be recommending this VRBO and Akmual in general to family as friends.

Rental condo was adequate but dated. Kitchen had lower cupboards only which were difficult to access. No basics like salt or pepper were provided. Large water bottles were good. Patio furniture was marginal plastic. Beds were comfortable. Housekeeping came daily which was nice.
Great sea breezes and view. Beach was rocky and challenging to enter and exit water. Snorkeling was ok if you swam pretty far out.

We loved this place, the apartment is clean and beautifully laid out.
Cleaners came every day and freshened up the beds are massive and really comfortable.
The restaurant downstairs is really good and the staff super cool.
The reef directly outside is fantastic for snorkelling and swimming.

We LOVED it and will definitely go back again.

We recently enjoyed a 4-night stay in Unit #4 and it was perfect for our family. The condo was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. The pool was a big hit with the kids—refreshing and just the right size for family fun. The beach was the perfect distance away: close enough for easy walks with little ones, but still peaceful and quiet. We also really appreciated having a restaurant conveniently located downstairs, which made mealtime super easy after a full day of exploring. Overall, a wonderful, family-friendly place for a relaxing and memorable getaway!

We have stayed at Hacienda de la Tortuga Unit 4 a number of times. This time did not disappoint! The location is ideal, on the bay and away from the touristy part of Akumal and close to Yal-Ku. Our new find was The Jungla Cafe literally across the road--excellent for breakfast. Best cappuccino ever! Also appreciate having La Lunita downstairs. The unit was in excellent shape. If you wanted to make an improvement, we'd suggest a ceiling fan on the balcony. Appreciated the flexibility of the housekeeper. Tiny suggestion--put a sign over the toilet paper to remind people to use the wastebasket.

I would definitely stay here again. I loved the view, the cleanliness, the onsite restaurant, the pool, the beach access... Sometimes we felt like we had our own private beach. Someone came and cleaned daily, and the parking lot attendants were very helpful as well. The only thing I would have liked more is if there were some sort of laundry service, but I took my laundry to the pueblo and got it washed there which was easy enough with a car. The AC in the bedrooms work great. Unfortunately there is no AC in the main part but the ceiling fans worked well and even in July it wasn't too hot to spend time there. Also, I felt very safe the entire time with my two kids. All in all... great stay! Thank you!

This was our first time back to Akumal in more than 10 years. The town has changed a bit but the incredible service from Akumal Direct/Loco ****** remains the same. We were very pleased with the condo and the personal service. Condo was clean and well-laid out. Pool was sparkling and the beach was cleaned each morning. The entire team at Hacienda de la Tortuga was very kind and helpful. La Lunita food is even better than I remember and the "new to me" cafe across the street is great.

The rental was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed both the beach and the pool. The restaurant connected was absolutely delicious, we ate there enlightens and the staff couldn’t have been more kind and accommodating.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hacienda de la Tortuga #4. We had stayed in this complex on our first visit to Akumal 22 years ago and little had changed. The unit was clean and spacious. The daily housekeeping service was a welcome treat. My husband and I enjoyed sitting on the patio overlooking the pool and ocean each evening. During the day, we could always find a place on the beach to relax and enjoy snorkeling and lying in the sun. We walked into the main part of Akumal each morning and evening for breakfast and dinner and loved the food at each place we tried. We took an airport transfer to and from Akumal and had no need for a car during our stay. We snorkeled at Yal Ku Lagoon one morning because the winds were too strong on the ocean. We also went on a fishing excursion through The Akumal Dive Shop. My husband reeled in 5 fish and the ride was wonderful! We are looking forward to visiting Akumal again next year!

We really enjoyed our stay in Unit 4. It's a good size and was very clean and tidy on arrival. The location's good, with a cafe across the road and the on-site restaurant, small local shop nearby and more if walk/drive/take the collective into Akumal village. With the beach and bay outside (you need water shoes if you're going to sea swim), you're petty set for a good, quiet vacation. If you need to work/play, the Internet speed's good which we find essential as we work for ourselves. All in all, a good stay.

Absolutely loved our stay at Hacienda de la Tortuga Unit 4.
We had everything we needed and the hosts were at hand to help within minutes of any queries or questions we had.
The location is amazing, first floor, high ceilings, light and spacious open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area looking on to the balcony over looking the pool, facing the beach.
Light beaming across the whole apartment as windows & patio run the full width of the building.
Both bedrooms were really well presented, the bed in the master was amazing - I had the best nights sleep and made a point of telling everyone how I dreamt every night I slept there whilst on my holiday.
The kitchen was equipped with everything you could need including a welcome tray upon arrival.
Housekeeping service was spot on and very thorough.
We couldn’t have wished for a more chilled/ relaxing time whilst in Akumal.
Thank you

This is our 5th time staying at Hacienda de la Tortuga and each time is amazing! The property is well-maintained with upgraded beds, linens and wiwfi. The pool is a important asset to have with small children, and the direct beach access is a lifesafer! The staff at La Lunita are always super-helpful! Additionally, there are a few new restaurants and amenities (since our last visit) on Half-Moon Bay that are a wonderful addition!

Overall the condo was very clean. All appliances were very clean.
Beds in both rooms very comfortable. Pool was kept clean. Disappointed that outdoor pool/beach area seating was not in good shape and lounge chairs were just in a pile not put out for use. Two chairs
where out at end of trip . All out door cushions are kinda dirty and funky after many times left out in sand & rain. Attached restaurant is EXTREMELY over priced and VERY limited menu most nights only one or two people used it. Could do much better with reasonable prices and more authentic menu. It cost more there for two appetizers and 3 margaritas then a whole meal with a lot more appetizers ,drinks and food for 5 people down the street! They made no effort to even make a small path to water through the sargassum:( Housekeeping staff did a great job. Also sorry me of the palm leafs could be removed so you could actually have a great view of ocean instead of peekaboo. If you people using the pool this condo is in a great spot directly over pool.
Concierge service was accommodating & helpful in getting taxis and golf
cart.

Akumal direct was great to work with, very good customer service, very responsive. Staff and Maids were wonderful. Stayed 14 nights in Hacienda de La Tortuga Unit 4. Unit was great, Ocean view is really great a little limited due to pool located in front of Condo. Unit could use more small cooking pots and serving dishes. Otherwise it is well equipped.
Great restaurant Lunita on site. Close enough to walk to main Akumal beach and or rent a bike. YalKu Lagoon is worth a visit, snorkeling out front of Condo is excellent, we were able to see rays a small turtle and wonderful amounts of fish. Was extremally windy for 5 constant days, this brought in Sargassum weed, which was not removed by th time we left. which was disappointing. Really like Akumal for its quiet laid back vibe. would recommend.

Loved this place. Setting on the beach is perfect and we were surrounded by turtle nests and even saw some hatch. A few restaurants in walking distance (very good restaurant underneath the apartment) but a golf buggy or car helps to get around. Sea and sand are beautiful but beware of sargasso problem some months. We walked up to the main beach which is very nice and where the seaweed was cleared. Denote/lagoon within 5 min walk was beautiful and not crowded. Apartment didn’t look very special from the outside but very nice inside and had everything needed for a great holiday. We would say this part of Akumel is for independent travellers who want to be away from all-inclusive resorts. We loved it for a week and then headed to Tulum for a contrast.

This is a wonderful place to stay. The restaurant downstairs is world class. We ate there almost every day not because it was convenient, but because it was the best. The pool was wonderful, the location was quiet, and they did a commendable job battling the seaweed. The seaweed was a shame, and the floor under the ocean was a bit rocky, but that is true in the entire general area. We did have to move to a different unit halfway through our stay because they had to do some repairs, but they were very helpful, apologetic, and accommodating. All in all, it was a very restful and wonderful place to stay.

Had a great time with my family. 1st week beach almost without seaweed and 2nd week some seaweed but under control. Just take a short walk north direction to enter the sea without seaweed. Excellent snorkeling once you reach the coral in front of the condo. Calm and relax environnement. Explored kantun chi and aktun chen and was great. Yal ku was ok but better for snorkeling for free in front of the condo up to the reef. Condo verry well equiped. We enjoyed every moment. The next 2 to 3 next buildings more south on HMB there was to much seaweed.. avoid rental more south of Half moon bay on summer month, smell terrible and not possible to enter the ocean. As expected and better we also see 150 baby turtle go out of their nest. We were lucky because it does nt hapen ofter according the locals.

We love Akumal for it’s quaint, quiet, beautiful location and culture. Hacienda #4 is light and airy and the perfect size for a couple, some friends or small family. We snorkeled and watched beautiful fish right outside our door, rented bicycles and went into the village to shop, and enjoyed food at both La Lunita and Buena Vida. The staff at the property are wonderful and Roberto our Concierge made sure everything went smoothly. We would definitely book #4 again!

Thanks for the creamer, beer, etc. The AC worked incredible. Victor, the car attendant was amazing! So sweet and helpful. The Lalunita restaurant and the service were truly superb!
The beachbwas lovely, but it's important to mention that it is not for swimming due to rocks and corals. We would definitely come back and stay here again.

We spent 5 nights in this unit, and we had the best time! LaLunita, on the ground floor, was delicious, and everybody with which we interacted, in the admin office, and the grounds, were extremely helpful and friendly. The unit has great views, nicely appointed, and very clean - everything was just as pictured. The property provided a small bag of coffee, sugar, cream, a small container of milk, a couple of Cokes, and a couple of bottles of water. As females, we felt very safe, traveling between town, and on property, both at night, and during the day. We reserved a golf cart - a must, since LaLunita is really the only place, close by, to eat (make sure to make a dinner reservation - they are small, and fill up, quick. We also loved LaBuena Vida, La Taverna, Lol-ha, and Turtle Bay Cafe (breakfast/lunch/dinner). We booked the Robinson Crusoe catamaran trip and snorkeling in Dos Ojos cenote, both through the Akumal Dive Shop - both were great, and will use them, again. I cannot say enough good things about this property, the management staff, and the overall area.

We reserved a golf cart - a must, since LaLunita is really the only place, close by, to eat (make sure to make a dinner reservation - they are small, and fill up, quick. We also loved LaBuena Vida, La Taverna, Lol-ha, and Turtle Bay Cafe (breakfast/lunch/dinner). We booked the Robinson Crusoe catamaran trip and snorkeling in Dos Ojos cenote, both through the Akumal Dive Shop - both were great, and will use them, again. I cannot say enough good things about this property, the management staff, and the overall area.

We spent 5 nights in this unit, and we had the best time! LaLunita, on the ground floor, was delicious, and everybody with which we interacted, in the admin office, and the grounds, were extremely helpful and friendly. The unit has great views, nicely appointed, and very clean - everything was just as pictured.

We had a wonderful stay at Hacienda de la Tortuga #4. It was clean, had all necessary amenities, hot water in the bathroom adjacent to smaller bedroom, and the beds were very comfortable. The view of the ocean and pool is beautiful and convenient to watch older children swim from the balcony. The manager was helpful in receiving information regarding excursions and the food and drinks at restaurant La Lunita ware delicious (highly recommend the Tamarindo margarita and tuna steak tostadas - although it's a bit expensive for dining in Mexico in our opinion). Akumal is quiet and peaceful and the snorkeling right outside the condo is great. Thankfully, the sargassum seaweed in front of the condo is under control. It is rocky entering the water, but enter on your stomach, go out far to the coral reefs, and you will see a ton of different fish. We even saw a stingray. We recommend water shoes. Know we were unable to walk the beach due to a ton of sargassum mounted on the beach down from us. Rent a car at Cancun airport (Easy Way) and stop at Chedraui in Cancun or Playa del Carmen for groceries (since there are only a few very small stores in Akumal where produce is super limited) to nearby cenotes, Aktun Chen (cave, cenote, ziplining), Mayan ruins, and a ton of other amazing sites. Or just rent bikes (about $7/day) and hang out in Akumal. Can swim with the sea turtles, eat at Turtle Cove, have a drink at La Buena Vida, or venture into the town across the bridge. Highly recommend "La Casa del Pueblo" - fantastic food and great service - right outside the Akumal monkey sanctuary. Can grab the Colectivo on the carretera federal and go to Tulum, Playa, etc. Amazing time!

Hacienda Tortuga is a charming collection of condominiums in Half Moon Bay in Akumal. We rented a 2-br/2-ba ocean-view condo perfectly set up for two girlfriends traveling together. My friend loved the hammock on the terrace and having La Lunita downstairs was a bonus. We were able to eat and drink all day (including condo delivery service) and charge one total to a card at the end of the day. Bear in mind that the propina (tip) should be paid in cash each day, out of respect for the team that works there. They have a tamarind margarita with tamarind chili salt that was delicious. The condo kitchen has everything needed to settle in and live for four people. I was surprised and grateful that the fridge came pre-stocked with complimentary whole milk, a couple of beers and a couple of sodas. We also had a continuous supply of fresh drinking water. The bedrooms have individual air conditioners, note that the main living area did not. We had continuous, reliable internet and streamed the first 2 nights of Democratic Debates without interruption. The location is great, walking-distance to La Buena Vida and two small stores for basics (coffee, TP, snacks, cold drinks, etc.) Theres a nice pool and a great beach with palapas and loungers. Really, we couldn’t have asked for anything more and only wished we didn’t have to leave!! I highly recommend.

Loved the size of property and location. Everything could want with exception of AC in main living. Pretty hot & humid for several days.
Couple of suggestions; room darkening window treatments in bedrooms.
Street lights & property lights very disruptive to sleep.
Also master bedroom AC had a tough time keeping room cool due to shutters letting in warm air from main living area which is not air conditioned. Top locks do not keep shutters closed and warm air gets through slots.
Otherwise very enjoyable vacation, we are in Akumal every other year, so see you in 2023.

Our condo was just perfect. Exactly what we needed for our family of 5. It was modern, up-to-date, extremely clean, and had all the amenities we needed for our 5-day stay. The A/C was as cold as you could want and all of the appliances were new and modern. The location could not have been better. We were literally 10 seconds from an awesome pool and 15 seconds from the beach (which was also very clean with plenty of chairs and sun shades). We were just a 2 - 3 minute golf cart ride from many restaurants (with amazing food!), retail shops, and dive shops (we had 2 great dives). I would highly recommend Akumal and this condo. We will be back.

Let me start by saying this condo lived up to all of our expectations. This was my first time staying in Mexico and my husband had only visited resorts in the past. We were looking for a condo that was more private than the resort style condos for our Honeymoon, Hacienda de la Tortuga Unit 4 did not disappoint! We like to do most of our own cooking while on vacation due to food allergies. We were able to find all the groceries we needed at the large grocery in Tulum and found all cookware and dishes to make whatever meal we desired in the condo. Enjoying meals and cocktails on the patio was wonderful. For a great dinner out right on the beach a walk down to La Lunita for some excellent shrimp tacos. We enjoyed a moonlit dinner on our first night in Akumal that was delicious. This condo is kept spotless due to the housekeeping staff who made sure every speck of sand was removed and we were greeted with new towel animals daily. Roberto is extremely helpful about anything you may want to see or do. There is a security guard out front who checks to make sure that you are guests at the condo and also patrols the property. The grounds are well maintained and the maintenance crew is constantly removing the seagrass and keeping the beach raked. We rented some snorkel gear a short walk from the condo at Akumal Dive Adventures and snorkeled right in front of the condo, in addition, to the beautiful fish and coral, we even saw Barracuda. If relaxing on a beach without a crowd of people and enjoying breathtaking views from your own comfy condo is your idea of vacation, then Hacienda de la Tortuga Unit 4 is for you.

Beautiful condo second floor walk up. Really nice, highly recommend. Right on beach; ocean view from porch nice but patially obscured by palm trees on adjoining undeveloped lot. Sand beach, lounge chairs and shaded thatched beach tables dedicated to condo owners and guests. Is rocky once into water, but sandy area just to north. Snorkeling very good. From beach you can look out and see a dark area with inverted “V” pointing in your direction maybe 100 yards out. You can literally walk all the way out. Beautiful extensive area of coral reef with tons of fish. Jus to the right of the “V” is an area of huge “head/brain” coral. Saw turtle, stingrays, all kinds of fish, huge mantra ray that totally freaked out another person. To really explore this entire area I would recommend a life jacket, but I was the only one who wore one. Not crowded at all. We had no problem with seaweed. So many changes over last 10 years, so much more tourist interest but still a great place to kick back. If you go to Yal-Ku lagoon, make sure you get there when it opens, never crowded before when we visited, but this time when we arrived at 1:00 pm on a weekday it was packed with snorkeled who kick up sand/sediment and obscure visibility. If you like wine, go to the convenience store a few hundred yards south on the left as you are driving towards the condo, decent selection with bottle prices as low as 180 pesos. La BuenavVida restaurant maybe one kilometer south of condo right on beach fun place for breakfast, dinner or lunch but when we were there slight smell of raw sewage was a turn-off. This smell is also prevalent at certain spots while driving to condo but we never noticed it at condo. We have gone to all the restaurants, best for dinner, by far, is “Taverna”, for breakfast, “turtle bay cafe and bakery”, be careful with turtle bay meals are so huge and good that you can overindulge limiting your ability to function.

Hacienda Tortuga is a charming collection of condominiums in Half Moon Bay in Akumal. We rented a 2-br/2-ba ocean-view condo perfectly set up for two girlfriends traveling together. My friend loved the hammock on the terrace and having La Lunita downstairs was a bonus. We were able to eat and drink all day (including condo delivery service) and charge one total to a card at the end of the day. Bear in mind that the propina (tip) should be paid in cash each day, out of respect for the team that works there. They have a tamarind margarita with tamarind chili salt that was delicious. The condo kitchen has everything needed to settle in and live for four people. I was surprised and grateful that the fridge came pre-stocked with complimentary whole milk, a couple of beers and a couple of sodas. We also had a continuous supply of fresh drinking water. The bedrooms have individual air conditioners, note that the main living area did not. We had continuous, reliable internet and streamed the first 2 nights of Democratic Debates without interruption. The location is great, walking-distance to La Buena Vida and two small stores for basics (coffee, TP, snacks, cold drinks, etc.) Theres a nice pool and a great beach with palapas and loungers. Really, we couldn’t have asked for anything more and only wished we didn’t have to leave!! I highly recommend.

Onsite restaurant was very nice. It was too rough for us to get in the bay, but the pool was lovely! The people who cleaned daily were fantastic!! Beds were comfortable. Loved the deck with table and hammock. There are shutters separating the master bedroom from the main room. Pretty, could not see through, but could conversations between the room. A little awkward for 2 couples sharing the space. A little extra planning required. Close enough to walk to Akumal Bay where the snorkeling in front of Secrets was awesome!! We saw turtles, rays and beautiful fish!! We enjoyed happy hour at the onsite restaurant and down the road at La Buena Vida. Would recommend it!
