Great place, lots of fun. Three things to prep for: 1) bugs - Went through three cans of bug spray be warned. 2) Heat - only one restaurant has A/C other that your room 3) French Canadians - Need I say More? Went SJR and was worth it for the view. Any issue was resolved in less than an Hour.... more

I reviewed about here back in beginning of August but decided to write another one with more details, I left a lot out on my old one. We stayed at Akumal from 7/26-8/1 and it was nothing short of amazing. As a background, I’m a 22-year-old female and I traveled with my parents (I’m an only child). Between us we’ve... more

I was just reading some of the other reviews. Things happen. Your bed is probably not going to be as comfortable as the one you have at home, the food may not be up to your standards since you didn't make it, and, yeah, some of the staff seem a bit grumpy at times. I would be too if I... more

We stayed here in 2006, and despite a number of problems that we had it did not affect our enjoyment of the place and hotel. First of all, we paid £750 each for this hotel and flight for 14 days and thats all inclusive and its a good 4 star hotel, so that value for money I believe. The hotel... more

Everything has been said about the riviera maya bahia principe hotels. They are fantastic, they have good restaurants, and they offer an overall high-standart level. The think is: which one to choose between Coba, Akumal and Tulum. As we were travelling with a 4 years old boy and staying for two weeks, Akumal was a good choice as we found... more

I have been to Cuba before where they have not got the all inclusive thing quite right yet but this hotel ticks all the boxes. You might have read reviews complaining about the steak or and tummy bugs but you're on holiday so you need to be reasonable and sensible you are not going to get a 10 oz steak... more

Through work commitments and buying a new house I had neglected to give myself a holiday for 3 years and wanted something really special to treat myself. Having read other reviews on this site I can see that certain nationalities tend to give higher or lower reviews. This is from a British Point of view and so is relevant mainly... more

We stayed in the Royal Golden section of the Akumal Resort. The staff was great, everyone was friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and restocked daily with fresh linens and beverages. The staff at the activity pool kept the guests entertained. We had four ala carte seatings included in our package. Without a doubt the best restaurant is the... more

July 6-20, 2008. This is the 3rd time my husband and I have stayed at the Bahia Principe Akumal. We were there this time for our 2 year wedding anniversary and previously got married there in 2006! This time around was even better than the first 2!! Being that we were "repeat" guests we got alot of extra special treatment... more
