My brother had his wedding here, and we had a great time. The rooms were VERY nice. Solid marble mosaic floor through out the room. I was given two huge bottles of water every day in my room. The food was buffet style in the main dining room, and really good. Huge selection of traditional foods as well as the... more

Me and my boyfriend have a competition to see who can book the best holiday, he was unbeaten with his pick in Jamaica until we stayed in this hotel. We cannot think of anything to say against it as we really enjoyed our holiday. The only downfall to our holiday was the airport as it takes a long time to... more

I really liked staying at this resort, and everything that's good has been already said I can only agree with those reviews. One thing which is absolutely terrible at this resort - is the beach, to be more exact - the shoreline condition. While the beach itself is in prefect condition, beatuful sand, abundance of recliners, beach bar, being cleaned... more

My wife and I stayed at the GBP-Akumal for our honeymoon from May 27-June 2 and had a blast. Aside from the tropical storm that blew in while we were there, everything was great. Even with the storm, we had fun, which says a lot about the resort. The storm did limit the amount of activities going on, but the... more

My husband and I just returned from a friend's destination wedding at the GBP Akumal. We were there July 1-7. Here's a rundown of our experience.... The resort is HUGE.
