I have always wanted to stay here because of the reviews about the snorkeling. Now that I have seen for myself what this place is like I would not go back. It is good that you can snorkel in front of the hotel and it is fun... provided it is not too windy. We stayed for two weeks and it... more

We knew this place wouldn't be fancy, wanted a smaller resort with a nice beach. No issues with checking in, it was pretty quick. We were in building 6, room 640. It was ok - no mold or weird smells. The a/c worked fine and the room was clean - faint urine smell in the shower, but overall clean. The... more

I don't get how people can go back to this resort! We were in building 7 in the very last room and talk about a long walk when the resorts food makes you sick! I was very bored there after the 3rd day of laying on the beach. I'm glad we went on excursions out of the resort to break... more

This was my second visit to the Akumal Beach Resort in the past 3 years and it was wonderful. However, if you're looking for a five star, huge resort with 'swim up bars' and various on site restaurants and a place to show off you're latest 'beach fashion' this may not be the place for you. What you'll find at... more

Stayed here for my honeymoon..and I wish I didnt. It was pretty bad, we stayed in the "Nice Building" #6 beautiful view - terrible room. Air conditioner made it smell like mould/urine, door was comming off hinges, Bed was SO HARD pillows were hard as well. Shower was ok but missing tiles, curtians, lamps window areas had black mould. When... more

I have stayed at the Akumal Beach Resort for 3 years in a row, and cannot say enough good things about it. The beds are hard, the food in the main dining room is so so, but the food at the beach bar is great and also at the Mexican and Italian restaurants. The beach is an absolute dream for... more

Returned from a 2 week stay at the Akumal Beach Resort on St Patricks day, March 17th. Picked the resort primarily because we like to spend our time snorkeling and being on the beach. This is the 5th location we’ve stayed at on the Mayan Riviera, and we’ve been to everything from no name B&B’s to 5 stars. We looked... more

My family of 4 was there for a week. We have been to Akumal before, but not this resort. I've read the reviews, and I knew someone who had stayed there 2 times. I expected the rooms to be run down and had low expectations of the food. We stayed in the Chechen building, and the rooms definately need to... more

Just spent 4 days at the Akumal Beach Resort, an all-inclusive resort 100km south of Cancun. I have stayed at all-inclusives before and I was expecting something similar to previous experiences. If you're used to fancy all-inclusives that provide you with ample food choices and drinks at every turn, this is not what you're getting. You ARE getting a beautiful... more
