My family and I recently returned from seven nights at the Gran Bahia Principe Akumal, where we had a thoroughly enjoyable time overall, not just at the resort, but exploring neighboring environs. This is a brief trip report, without photos, meant to cover the highlights, and a few low lights, of our trip. For point of reference, this was my... more

The weather was great, some outbursts of rain but they pass. The food is fine the only restaurants we thought were great were the international one is both Akumal... more

TRAVEL/ARRIVAL/CHECK IN Booked from the 13th of June until the 28th through Expedia.com at the Coba section of the resort. Flights were fine, long day but got us there. Arrived in Cancun found our travel provider (Best Day) that we pre-paid through Expedia to get us to and from the hotel. Expedia only provided a travel voucher to Playa del... more

We stayed in Akumal for a week with a group of teenagers and it was incredible! There were very few other teenagers there but that didn't matter. The entertainment/sport staff was the best I have ever seen. Everyone was so friendly and we all enjoyed playing water polo, beach volleyball, water volleyball, boccie-ball, and water aerobics. Make sure you meet... more

The resort is beautiful, the beaches are wonderful and fun to snorkel in. We saw turtles, many fish and a barracuda. We brought our... more

We booked this trip through FareDeals.com a couple of months ago. We took our friend, who has mesothelioma, and her husband as a special long-weekend treat. Therefore, we wanted it to be very special. Upon arrival, we were told that the Coba section (where our reservations were) was closed. So they brought us over to Akumal for check-in. The bellman... more
