Although the swine flue scare and the off-season rates made this place impossibly inexpensive, we thought Akumal Beach Resort was absolutley wonderful. The hotel is right on the beach--the pool, bars, restaurants literally 20 feet from the sand. The swimming pool is huge and water clean. And even though this a "budget" all-inclusive, there were many many staff around to... more

Stayed here with my husband 11/4-11/11 and really enjoyed ourselves despite Hurricane Ida dropping rain on us 4 out of 7 days. Certainly not top of the line but an AWESOME value for price paid. Rooms were adequately large with nice dressing area. No barrier between bedroom and dressing area so be comfortable with whomever you travel. Clean if not... more

Akumal Beach Resort I knew we weren't going to a 5 star luxury resort, and that was just fine by me, I was looking for a casual laid back beach experience with snorkeling ….and this is the place. We arrived at the hotel at 7:00 pm and were greeted with a refreshing drink. Check in was a breeze and headed... more

Traveled here from Norway with a 7 months child. We are very pleased with the hotel and its staff. The food is also good and rooms are simple but clean. In November its quiet but perfect for us with a baby. Lots of Americans and Italians and some English tourists stayed here and all was nice. The beaches and nature... more

We loved Akumal! We had done a lot of research on places to stay in the area and after much deliberation, we finally chose Akumal Beach Resort. We went knowing that this was not a 4 or 5 star resort and that it was in need of some TLC. Our expectations were just that and when we got there, we... more

My partner and I brought our two children (ages 3 and 5) to Akumal Beach Resort and it was paradise. The owners of this all-inclusive resort are, I believe, Italian, and the food was a fusion of tradition Mexican and Italian fare, both of which were delicious. In addition to the friendly staff (especially those doing children's activities) and the... more

Don't judge this book by it's cover. When we first arrived, late at night, we were all a bit taken a back by the aesthetics of the hotel. The main lobby was pleasant, but the rest of the place appears to be a bit run down. But by the next day the place began to grow on us, and the... more
