We are currently at the resort on day 5 of 7 days. I would say this resort is the Howard Johnsons of Riveria >Maya. As previously reported, the beds are a bit hard,but the beach and snorkeling are great. The staff are friendly,the resort small enough to get around, and the food is quite good. Tbar and restaurant manager is... More

This was our first trip to Akumal Beach Resort and the Akumal area. It will not be our last. The beach here is amazing, most of the rooms are beach front, I believe they are called privileged superior. The small resort sprawls out along a huge stretch of beach, the entire resort is beach front! I recommend building 6 or... More

Our family of 4 (two little kids, 5 and 3) had a wonderful time here during our stay last week. I agree with most reviews below about this place being one of the most genuine, non-commercialized resorts in North America. We've been to many high-end resort locations in various islands and this is honestly one of the purest unadulterated experiences... More

Rating is based on Value for $. This is not top of the line with gourmet food and rooms with lush furnishings. A rustic kind of place, our room was kept spotless, (Gracias Susan building 7) What a frontage this place covers at least a third of the bay. Great snorkeling, expect Turtles, Sting Rays, Baracuda, Ramoras, and Coral. Food... More

I admit that I have stayed at the hotel many times over the years and have seen it at its worst, under its former management, but now happily, it is being run by the owner of the hotel and the...

Short review: Great place to go for some of the best snorkeling along the Riviera Maya. Older property with a great location. Sea turtles everywhere! Long review: This is our sixth trip to the Riviera Maya in three years. We are huge snorkelers and loved it. We learned of Akumal and Tortuga Bay through previous trips. The Akumal Beach Resort...

This was our second time spent at ABR and we will definitely go back again! We were there the first week of May and the sun was hot, we saw many sea turtles in the bay (even six within 15 min.!!!), food and drinks good as usual, and the accomodations were fine. The staff were warm and friendly. The had... More

Once again people from all over the US, Canada, and Italy decended on Akumal Beach Resort (ABR) to celebrate a decidedly non-college Spring Break. The staff is top notch. The food is very good. The location is WORLD CLASS! And every year we come back again and again. AKumal is not Cancun or Playa del Carmen. It is slower paced.... More

we visited the abr again in feb. of 2011 and the place was different than before but in a good way. the new management was painting and making changes to make the place look very nice. we knew we would meet with some obstacles due to construction but we really were not disturbed at all. we love the staff ,...
