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!
Located in Akumal, Itza Hotel Akumal - Dive House features an outdoor swimming pool, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property.

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!
Amazing food, a'la carte restaurants, drinks and Service. Hotel Beach very nice located. Stuff do really great job there. They make sure you have all you need all the time. What also made our vacation special was entartaiment team! Great thanks for Victor for amazing morning joga and also Anahi, Valentino, Gustavo and others for lot of fun activities. Their Energy and Creativity for sure makes this place special. Hotel itself is beautifull place but great People working there is for sure the main reason for us to comeback there soon!!!!
The staff were very helpful and the whole hotel was very clean and tidy. We really liked the quiet location on the beach right next to the sea with an amazing view of the bay from our room. The road behind the hotel has good security, is very quiet with little traffic and is very good for walking, cycling and running. Right next to the hotel there is an very good beach restaurant and nearby there is a small shop for essential items. It is a just short walk to the main Akumel turtle watching beach.
Amazing hotel! we had a great time here, it was all we expected and more. Food was really good, many different options to eat at the buffet or the special restaurants. we did not get reservations for restaurant but it was easy to get a table. we don’t have anything to complain about to be honest. our room was awesome and really close to the beach (we loved the beach). I will say this is a great option for you to stay, we will repeat (maybe changing to another hotel in the complex).
The resort is very beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The room, once we changed from 2 doubles to a king was luxurious, comfortable and quiet. It felt secure. We had a nice view of the greenery. The a la carte meals were absolutely 5 star fantastic. Drinks were simple and tasty. We enjoyed the beach volleyball and waterpolo. We never had trouble getting an ideal spot on the beach or pool side. Tulum is much more beautiful than the other parts of this hotel in my opinion.
Oscar the manager was excellent and it was nice to get daily cleaning. The location was peaceful. Parking plentiful. The apartment was large and the beds comfortable. Good supply of soap/shampoo. Access to Netflix, Amazon Prime etc was also good. Aircon in living areas as well as bedrooms and wasn’t noisy. Comfortable sofa although it needs a clean. Beach nice to sit at although not enough loungers. Great bird life. Walkable to Akumal beach proper where the turtles are.
Great place for resting, very nice and comfortable apartments, very close to the beach with only few people (not like in other crowded places), very nice and helpful staff, especially grateful Lizbeth and Claudia from reception who always were very helpful :) the beach was always clean, delicious food in restaurant 100m from apartment. I recommed this place for staying for 100%. I would visit the same place for sure during my next visit in Mexico.
It is not modern but I value the charm and character more. Beach front is great, better if you are ground floor. Email contact with staff was attentive. Sargassum was very low end of Nov. Half moon bay is a nice close by alternative to Akumal, away from all the tour groups and hustlers. There are very few restaurants in the area but some of the best value ones are located just a few mins walk from this property.
This property is a good break from the all-inclusive Mayan Riviera hotel circuit. It's nice to have the space of a condo (which would be particularly good for a family) and the location inside the sprawling upscale Grand Sirenis development is great for beach and cenote access (ask your host how to find these). Nice modern condo with small roof top pool at an excellent price.
The breakfast was like the most in Mexico. Some fruits, toast and coffe / tea. Enough to fill you up! The employees are very kind and helpful. We liked the hotel complex so much. It was very special to sleep in the glamping tent and it was an experience to be in the jungle and in between the cenotes. Definitely try this !
The resort was all inclusive with several restaurants and wide food selection. Most of the staff at the restaurants were attentive. The resort had multiple pools with a lazy river and had daily activities including a dolphin show and nightly dance shows.
The beach is amazing. Some parts of the beach have a lot of Sargassum, but there wasn't much in front of the hotel. Even where it did gather it didn't create any smell. I rate the beach highly.
The air conditioning was effective a reasonably quiet.
Large all inclusive complex with beautiful pools. Very comfortable room. Helpful staff. Nice beach area with small reef close to shore. Amazing food and choice for the number of people catered for. Also very good in al a carte restaurants.
Our lovely hosts were very helpful and took their time to explain everything we needed. The hotel is located in a small town, where we felt very welcomed! The room was comfortable and rather quiet at night (we stayed only one though)
Nothing faulty! This villa is a pure gem, we really enjoyed our stay in Akumal, seen many turtles and enjoyed the beaches without any seaweed! Having two swimming pools is a MUST, we felt safe and the personal was attentive. Thanks!
The food was great, much better than we've had at past all inclusive hotels. Hotel was very clean, smelled nice, and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. Great pool and beach too!
The staff was warm and welcoming, the property was as advertised. An easy 10 min bike ride through the small town to the beach or even quicker by Tuktuk. Loved everything!
