Ruined vacation
Casita Sur Bienvenidos Akumal, Half Moon Bay
If you plan to hear birds chirping and smell the fresh ocean breeze in the morning, you should stop looking at this property. You won't even hear the AC or refrigerator working because of the loud, unstoppable noise from outside , which resonates through the whole house. It sounds nearly like there's a farmer's tractor right behind the window. So to fall asleep, you have to shut all the windows and plug your ears tightly. I contacted an owner right when we arrived, and she said it might be a nearby condominium's water pump. She hasn't tried to solve this problem.
Don't count on Wi-Fi : to check our mail, we had to go outside on the beach, and when we tried to watch Netflix on a rainy day, we were unsuccessful.
There is not a single pot to cook with, only a couple of small saucepans. You definitely can't cook any spaghetti. The capacity of the stove is very low, so we used the provided microwave, but it was shutting down the circuit breaker from time to time until it stopped working completely.
We can't really complain about the size of the bathroom: it's OK for skinny people, but we were provided only beach and bath towels for each person, shampoo, and a soap bar. That's all. No conditioner, no lotion, no hair dryer. And the window above the toilet faced the neighbor condo's entrance door . There is no way to hide your body when you come out of the shower. No curtains. No privacy.
For the high price we paid for 2 weeks (in the high season), not worth it.
