Studio Maria is a beautiful street side studio situated on the garden side of Playa Caribe beachfront condominiums. This well appointed suite offers 2 double beds, a fully equipped kitchenette and A/C. You will love its incredible central location and access to snorkeling on Half Moon Bay.

This how to travel smartly while on a budget! Playa Caribe Casitas have everything you need for an affordable vacation with all of the amenities you can beach access, swimming pool, A/C, and kitchen.

The Playa Caribe Studio units are located on the street side of the property. The beach is just a few steps away. The swimming pool is also located on the oceanside of the property. The beach and pool area have lounge chairs and shade palapas for guests to enjoy.

KINDLY NOTE: South winds may bring Sargasso Seaweed to some beaches throughout the Caribbean, including the Rivera Maya. While the situation is hard to predict for each specific week and area, we would like you to be aware as there is the potential to impact the beach and water entry.

The Riviera Maya is full of natural beauty, places to explore and opportunities for outdoor activities. We have a great list of activities and adventures completely unaffected by the arrival of sargasso that we would love to share with you. There is so much to see and do in this special place, we know that you will have an amazing and memorable vacation!

Good location, management -- dark inside
We really enjoyed the location and thought Playa Caribe was a clean, well maintained complex with excellent management communication/advice from Augustine. We rented bikes from Playa Caribe that were great for getting into Akumal. We brought out own snorkels and were able to snorkel off of the beach in half moon bay (we would recommend water shoes for half moon bay). The downsides for us were that this unit is rather cave-like with the only windows being on the entry door and in the shower. Also we wish we would have sprung for a larger unit as it was really kind of cramped for our family of four. Could definitely work well for a couple or for a short stay.

Everything great except...
The people are wonderful. The place is sweet but there are no windows. That would normally be a deal breaker for me. Some people may not care. Outdoor spaces are terrific so I tried to be outside all the time. Otherwise casita is well decorated and has everything and is really well run.

LOVED our stay at Casita Maria
We are so happy we were able to stay at Casita Maria! It was so charming, and the location was unbelievable! Right on the beach in Half Moon Bay! Beautiful, and great snorkeling too. We saw stingrays, turtles, and a lot of fish! We loved it! And there was no sargassum. The beach was perfect!!! For the price, this little gem is fantastic! It's not huge... it's like a hotel room with a bonus kitchen. Everything worked great, and it was nice and clean. Patricia did a wonderful job cleaning our room each day. Augustin was very nice, although we didn't talk to him much because we didn't have any issues. I definitely recommend a stay at charming little Casita Maria! Oh, and don't forget to use the dehumidifier in the corner of the room. It made a huge difference (we didn't realize it was there until halfway through our trip). Thanks for a great place to stay, Chris and Polly!
