The rooms at Bahia principe akumal were spacious and in close proximity to the beach. I did check out the beach at tulum as... More

After some negative experiences at Cuban all-inclusive resorts, I was a bit apprehensive about going to Mexico. I was pleasantly surprised by the Gran Bahia Principe Akumal. The beaches were great, the food was good and the accommodations were solid. I had a great time. Lots of fun!
