I had done a lot of research & read a lot of reviews before traveling to the cancun area. Me & my husband chose akumal because it was little, the snorkeling had good reviews, and we wanted some quiet relaxing time. I was very disappointed with our room, it was very run down. We had little bugs all over the... More

My husband and I just returned from a week at beautiful Akumal Beach Resort. In general the experience was exactly what we were looking for. The resort is the perfect size and location for a nice, quiet, serene vacation. Our first all inclusive experience and we are hooked (for those who have never done all inclusive one tip we learned...

Before I begin this review let me say that Akumal Beach Resort is clean, the staff (for the most part) is friendly and does a great job. And this place has the most beautiful beach. Saying all that I feel I must tell it as I saw this. This is our 5th or 6th visit, we have been so many... More

My two sisters and I stayed here for 10 days April 28th-May 8th. We chose Akumal for a change from Playa Del Carmen and the snorkeling. While we wern't dissapointed with the beach and seeing turtles and many fish we thought that the hotel was a little tired and the evenings and nightlife were quite boring. I think if you... More

This was our 5th time to this hotel and will be returning for spring break next year. We love the beach and the snorkeling is simply amazing. Clear blue water, turtles and friendly people have kept us returning for years. If you are looking for fancy rooms & pools with swim-up bars & fountains, head to Fiesta Americana Grand in... More

We stayed at the Akumal Beach Resort from April 20 to 27, 2012, with our two young children (3 and 5 years). In all that positive. The buffet food was excellent and quite varied. We tried an evening à la carte restaurant, but we only had 2 choices of menu, so I would say if you want to go there... More

Pros: Great snorkeling, good beach, good entertainment staff, didn’t need golf cart to get around the resort Cons: Could use more Mexican flavors in their foods, beddings could be fresher We stayed mainly for easy access to snorkeling. Akumal has a relatively calm and shallow bay which you can swim 10 or 20 yards from shores to see a good... More
