This property is located beside a Dreams All Inclusive Resort, and (I believe) a condo, but quiet most of the time. Because the beach is cleaned regularly, it is probably the nicest bit of beach for its price around. It was a joy to walk from your room and laze on the beach loungers. The beds are only cleaned and... More

We had the opportunity to stay here in Feb. 2012 for just one night, and I would definitely return. The hotel was small but the feel was great! it was very "Mexico", from the thatched roofs and bright colors, to the yummy late-night taquitos. Our hosts were gracious and helpful. The rooms were small but extremely clean. The air-conditioning worked... More

Acamaya Reef is good budget alternative to the expensive 5-star hotels on Puerto Morelos’ best beautiful white-sand northern beaches. They offer a 2-star simple rustic cabana-type place with beach palapas not loaded with amenities or high price. Their restaurant is just OK with no others around but a 40-minute walk along the beach or an $8 taxi ride to town... More

This place was perfect for me as a solo traveler. Extremely affordable, beautiful grounds, perfect cabana, and the owners were very accommodating and friendly. The beach was right out my cabana door and there was more than enough lounge chairs.......some in the shade and some in the sun....perfect. If you don't need to be pampered and prefer a more authentic... More

This place is great for people who DO NOT want the insane Cancun experience. This place is located in Puerto Morelos which is a small town just south of Cancun. This town is laid back and has a better beach and better snorkeling water than Cancun. The Acamaya Reef hotel is not for the fancy big spenders, but offers all... More

First of all, anyone who arrived at this resort expecting a traditional hotel a fancy resort, and is giving it a bad review because they didn't know where they were going, that is very unfair. This place is what it is, and for that it is fantastic. If you want THE BEACH in Cancun, this place is for you. Mega... More

Booked 2 nights, was ok enough to add an extra night. We had the upstairs room with private bath. Very basic room in a hut on the beach for about $65 a night. Resort music from next door was noisy. Probably a good value if you just want to chill on the beach, and are not the resort type. Not... More

We loved our time at Acamaya Reef; the family is friendly and helpful and the place is quiet. The little round thatched huts are very rustic and you do get the occasional lizard running through, but they have comfortable beds and the bathrooms are clean. You are right on a beautiful beach and can listen to the gentle surf sounds... More

I was a guest for 10 days at the Acamaya. The hosts Daisy and Dennis were absolutely wonderful and very accomodating. My cabana was very clean but very simple. This is a no frills accomodation, but reminds one of how Mexico used to be. The beach is faboulous and there are massages available right there on the beach. The small... More

Got a great deal on a flight down to Cancun and I always dreamed about diving the cenote's. I reserved a campsite with Acamaya and off I went (from Toronto). On arrival the owner never wrote the reservation down. The Husband and son who own the Acamaya reef treated me like a fugitive om the run from the law. Spent... More
