I loved the beauty of the property itself and the feeling of being in a more secluded, jungle-like, natural environment! The lagoon pool was lovely and refreshing, even deep enough in parts to dive. It's a very serene, relaxing, quiet environment as others have said. My cabana/bungalow was lovely. The hosts/owners, Vanessa and Manuel, were exceptionally kind to me, even offering short rides for me given that I was alone and without a rental car. This is a family-run, low-key resort -- it was a pleasure getting to know their children too. I even played ping-pong and games in the pool with them! Vanessa recommended the Akumal Bay Beach to me as well (warm/easy to swim in water located at a nature preserve called Tsuuk Akumal Parque Natural - note, there is an entrance fee) and a beach bar/restaurant called Loi-Ha. If you go, try the fish tacos - made with grouper - fantastic!

We had a private room with a king bed and private bathroom. The bed was very comfortable, everything was very clean. We liked that we could use the hostel kitchen to store our food in the fridge. Reception was great, easy and very welcoming. The rooftop pool was beautiful and although we didn't use it, we did spend some time in the evening on the rooftop with the nice views and breeze.
We parked our rental car right outside on the street, where the nice receptionist, Lulu, said it would be safe. We enjoyed walking around the small town and got a beer at a local place. People in the town were very friendly.

The rooms are great, the pool area is nice although 50% was closed which made it really hard to get a seat during the day! Also hadn’t been made aware that the biggest pool area was going to be out of service

I think it should be clearly stated that the ocean swimming and snorkeling on the property is quite limited unless you want to pay for a guide and wear a life jacket. The areas where paid guides take people are often crowded.
No groceries stores in the area, only 7-11 type shops with processed foods.
Breakfast (continental) was quite good. To upgrade to egg dishes was way overpriced.
Very few dinner options available. A couple of restaurants within walking distance. No evening dining at the hotel itself.
If you are not an ocean swimmer or snorkeler but just want to swim in a pool or lay on the beach this place would work for you.

Akumal is a nice town with a very nice beach and a great option to observe sea turtles in the Turtle bay, do a diving course or just chill at the beach. Unfortunately, you can't get to any of the beaches for free, all of the entrance is paid. We found the local guys who were shouting at us and always wanting money for something or trying to sell us something quite disturbing and some of them even rude to us as foreign visitors. The prices the beach are very high in the proximity od the beach. At the end of our stay someone ransacked our friend's room and soon after stole my handbag when we were sitting in a restaurant in Akumal town. I think there is a thief mafia operating around.

There is lots to Akumal not just a restaurant and a little beach. There are beaches, many different restaurants and cenotes. Tami and Elliot will help you understand the taxi system and also how to hop the combis (Public van service) that are cheap and easy to use. They are not chicken busses. There are cenotes everywhere. Some very tiny and some meandering through the jungle. An easy one is Cenote Azul. No real snorkeling but a beautiful place. Charge $10 dollars or much better rate if you pay on pesos. Use pesos as often as possible. Get pesos from the ATMs they have the best conversion rate. The condo beach is a bit of a walk, it who doesn’t need walking, but the cenote flows out into the ocean. Great a snorkeling. Big variety of fish. You can see the transition layer between fresh and salt water. I think our favorite place where we went twice was La Buena Vida restaurant on Akumal beach and after dinner walk up the beach And hitchhiking a golf cart ride back to the highway for a taxi ride ride north back to Sirenis. Most everyone speaks tolerable English but be respectful and learn some rudimentary Spanish like bathroom, beer, check please, thank you and please. Whew. Can you tell we had a great eight day trip?

It was a good place for our troop to convene - 7 in all.
It was a good place for our troop to convene - 7 in all. We had some fun - particularly at the shows. The food was good but not great. The staff was great. The beach was a disappointment - full of seaweed and rocky. Trucks on the beach at 7am sunrise a big turnoff. I would not return unless the beach situation improves.

I didn't spend time in Akumal proper- most of the time was on the resort, but there seemed to be a LOT of options for activities on that stretch of road between Tulum and Playa del Carmen, so as a starting point, finding a resort in Akumal is a great location. My friend and I took a 30min taxi to Playa del Carmen and a 20min ride to swim with dolphins. We also went with the wedding party to Tulum and a cenote which was gorgeous and that trip was very short as well. Lots to do in the area!
The food I found was better than other all inclusive resorts we've stayed in. I do think there are too many "fancy" options at buffets like raw fish-looking stuff that is probably expensive to make and doesn't look that appealing to me. Maybe some people like it. The reservation-only restaurants were very good.
The pools are beautiful and there are lots of fun options for kids. The beach is also very safe and swimmable and the snorkeling was great.
Kind to us travellers! No BS. Great advice on area, wonderful roof top where breakfast is served. Really good too! 10 mins walk to beach area but this is a great spot on
A look at the heart of real Mexico - people, houses, colour, An easy experience. Beds great, lockers, kitchen to cook etc. super safe. Cenotes a 25peso ride away. The collectivo also runs from P and Tulmal. Relief from plastic towns!
Great hosts with knowledge of the area and helped understand transportation options and help us select locations and experiences that best fit our wishes. Everything from groceries to the Cenotes that might interest us the best. Even gave us a lift to a recommended restaurant on the beach at Akumal. Excellent view of the bay with the beach at your feet. Great place. Great hosts!
Plenty of space to find your own little spot either by one of the pools or the beach. Room was large and comfortable with all amenities you’d expect! Resort was huge so good and bad on that side of things! All inclusive concept nice, food and drinks on tap and always plenty of selection. Staff were all friendly and willing to help! Nice beach area and half decent gym and spa.
Super clean room. Good ac. Host was friendly and helpful. Nice little pueblo of Akumal had everything we needed within one block. So nice to stay in a town that feels like old Mexico. Parked on the street in front of hotel. Ate dinner on the beach at a great place the host recommended.
Its a little slice of luxury made small. This does not apply to the rooms, beds or pool! The staff goes out of their way to accommodate the best possible experience with the food, communication and options for transportation to the beach and back.
The pool and beach is really nice. The location is close to the akumal beach, where you can swim with turtles. You have to book a tour, the hotel staff can assist you. We loved that they provided a water canister free of charge.
The stay was great I loved the all inclusiveness, the pools that overlooked the beach, food was good. They had chocolates and a bottle of champagne for the birthday girl. The fact we could take the covid test on site was great!
Breakfast was fantastic, fresh food and great service
The grounds were kept impeccable as well as the entire property
All inclusive meant all inclusive... Top shelf alcohol and food choices
I definitely will be back
24-hour access to the cenotes. Wonderful hosts and helpful and friendly staff. Beautiful room and gorgeous surroundings. Walking distance to the town of Akumal with great local restaurants and Akumal beach.
Pure nature and very quite and lovely stay with friendly staff. good location to visit a lot of different beaches and snorkel with turtles in Akumal. angel gave us cool suggestions :) Amazing price!
Kids loved the pool. Front desk staff was amazing very helpful and accommodating with everything!! We moved from bungalows to hotel room for a small fee to be closer to pool. Great experience
The staff was really nice and proximity to the beach is a huge plus. Kids club was the highlight of the hotel, the staff there was so attentive and caring. Food was over all good
Rooms was comfortable and spacious
Lots of pools and many different restaurants and bars
Many options to have fun
The beach is beautiful and right infront of the hotel
Very clean property and well organised. Part of Bahia Principe hotel resort. Owner issued a code for security gate and I felt quite safe around the property.
Hotel and location were perfect. Sad to say we were not able to enjoy the pool, beach or the night due to very high wind and lots of seaweed at the beach.
