“So peaceful!”
We loved how low key it was. The staff and guests were very friendly. It was delightfully peaceful and the food was excellent. The beach was absolutely wonderful and maintained. It felt very safe, including the surrounding town. The snorkeling was great - we actually saw several turtles and swam along side of one- bring an underwater camera! The main draw back was the beds. They were painfully hard, ask for an egg crate cushion to make it bearable. All the rooms are very close to the beach, so we thought it was definetely worth if plus it was a great value! We want to go back.
“Great for families”
Would go back in a minute
“Simple and perfect. needs better beds!”
My family and I travel 3-4 times a year we like simple smaller places. Akumal its the bill perfect, GREAT staff, wonderfull beach, you can walk up the beach to go shopping at one of a few local stands and they dont bug you to buy everything! The resort is clean, well kept and an overall joy to be at. Only complaints, hot tub should be HOT not ice cold! they need to use mattresses instead of box springs(yes you get to sleep on a box spring, I looked) our last day there I found out you could get a mattress pad. Overall if you like simple not loud freindly resorts that are not overcrowded with the hairy germans in speedos this place is a great choice!
“Good value”
Akumal Beach Resort is a good value. Good food, attentive staff, gorgeous beach--you cannot beat swimming with sea turtles. Surrounding villages and activities are an added value. A few pesky irritations...screens and shower doors that didn't quite close, an inefficient andj irksome system for doling out beach towels. But we felt pampered and safe and I would go back again.
“I love this place”
If you are looking for fancy digs, this isn't the place to go. Yes, the beds are hard, but I got used to them after a couple of days. And the room is really basic, but the area is soooo beautiful that I spent very little time in my room. The best thing about Akumal Beach Resort is the beach. I snorkeled almost every day and saw different things each time. The sea turtles are amazing - they just go about their business while you stare at them in awe. The second best thing about Akumal Beach Resort is the staff. The entertainment crew consistently kept my 13 year-old son busy, the front desk bends over backwards to help you, and the tour office staff gives honest advice without pushing you to buy anything. The food isn't fancy but there is lots of variety and again, the staff is super-attentive. And no one has their hand out - you pratcially have to insist to tip anyone!
“Cheap Paradise Alternative”
5 star location, the beach and snorkeling is great. Definitely 3 star hotel, the rooms are comfortable, could use some TLC, A/C was just OK (can't imagine being there in the summer, A/C would not have been adequate), food was great, entertainment staff and bar staff superb. Lighting to building 6 and 7 by the beach was non functional at night. Pros: location, location, location. All inclusive was good. Great staff. Food at buffet was good and had great variety. Snack bar food OK (burgers, dogs, nuggets, fries and ice cream). Variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Cons: A/C, no fridge or mini-bar in rooms, only one beer choice with All Inclusive (Dos XX), computer service expensive/limited (but why do you need that on vacation?) A-la-carte restaurant very limited menu.
“Always love ABR!!!”
Perfect place for easy travelers!
“Best Beach hotel in Mexico”
great beach and staff
“Our new vacation destination”
I researched this hotel extensively before our trip and it did not disappoint. The snorkeling was out of this world. Everytime we went out we saw something new. The best part was you didn't have to deal with the crowds as you would on a snorkel tour, just you, your companion and the sea life! I could even go out alone and feel comfortable. We did have wind on a few days but once you got away from shore the visibility was still decent. I was able to spot a turtle within 5 minutes when snorkeling to the left of the swing bar at the north end of the resort. The beach was also amazing, never seemed crowded. We were in building 7 which is farthest from everything but it was really a short walk and so peaceful at night, we slept with the screen door open and couldn't hear any noise from the main bar area which was a plus. The AC worked well when all the windows were shut. Room heated up fast with balcony door open but that was our own fault! Most guests we talked to were repeat guests, which tells a lot about the resort. One gave us a great tip that the TV has a slot in the side to view your digital photos, so we enjoyed looking at our photos at the end of each day. Food was plentiful, breakfast was awesome, you could get most any breakfast food there is. We already miss the omelettes. Many choices for lunch and dinner also. Staff was also wonderful, kudos to the front desk, maids, bartenders, and even the gardeners that kept the ground beautiful! We will be back.
“Going back again”
We have been to Akumal twice. food is good. rooms are clean. Staff is awesome. Beach is one of the best you will find. The beach is protected by a reef that is full of fish and turtles. If you visit between June and October you have a chance to see either a turtle lay a nest of eggs or baby turtles be released. Make sure if you want to see the turtles you walk down to the town of Akumal and check out the Ecological center. You wont find better reef, fish, or turtles in mexico
