This is the best value anywhere in the area. We stayed in a 2BR/2BA condo on the top floor at Vista del Mar. A wall of sliding glass doors leading to a huge balcony (hammocks, chairs, & table included) overlooking the ocean was our first impression. The tile bathtubs looked like small swimming pools. The unit was spotless, and we... More

This was our 2nd stay at this hotel. Quieter than Akumal Bay. So nice to be able to walk right out to beach. Some rocks, but not bad. We saw some marine life including turtles while snorkeling out to the reef.The staff rake up the beach every morning to get rid of the seaweed that washes up over night. Close... More

This hotel was located right on the beach at Half Moon Bay so we could just walk into the water for snorkeling. It was cool, quiet and clean. The room seemed a bit cramped for 1 double and 1 single bed. The towels and linen were clean but were very tired and need to be replaced, along with the pillows.... More

Thanks so much for your feedback. It is always helpful to us to know where there is room for improvement. We have just replaced many of the rooms with new bedding, and are working to refurbish all rooms and condos by the end of the summer. We hope you will consider another stay with us in the not too distant... More

Thoroughly enjoyed the two days staying at this hotel - Great location, staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms were small but absolutely fine for one or two people.

My husband and sisters stayed at Vista del Mar Norte and enjoyed the 3-bedroom condo. We enjoyed walking off the patio directly to the beach. Bring sandshoes to wear in the water; very rocky there, but nice. The accommodations were good with plenty of AC and fans. Water pressure and hot water were an issue in the kitchen, but the... More

I wanted an oceanfront condo in a quiet area during Semana Santa in my price range and Vista del Mar was perfect. The view was beautiful and we couldn't have been closer to the water! The condo was clean, the A/C worked well, the kitchen was fine for our needs and we were away from any loud parties. We visited... More

My family (2 adults and 2 kids ages 4 and 6) stayed at Vista del Mar for a week. We loved everything about it. That our door opened onto the beach was amazing, it was clean and attractive and we loved the location. Perfectly situated on Half Moon Bay away from town and busy Akumal beach but not too far...

I couldn't have asked for a better place to ask my girlfriend to marry me. Before hand I arrange a few details with the hotel via email, I wanted to have... More

To have been walking past this place a couple of weeks ago from Turtle Bay to the lagoon and impulsively asking if there was a vacancy....yes! We got a spacious 2 bedroom condo right on the beach for one night just as we wanted. The condo was very clean, had AC, great hot shower, a king size bed, etc. but... More

Vista del Mar is my favorite place to stay when I am in the Akumal area. Over the past three years I have been staying at this hotel many times (sometimes up to four times a year). Making my reservations has always been very easy and Heidi and Joanne have always been the most helpful persons in arranging everything to... More
