My husband and I visited Mexico for the first time and I would say that the beach is terrific! The food was just alright but the staff was always very friendly and there was a good variety. Our biggest complaint was that the beds and pillows were very hard.

My wife and I wanted a warm vacation after a very long Canadian winter. We also both have stressful jobs that we were anxious to escape, even for a short time. Trip Advisor was, again, our resource for vetting the information from the Travel Agents. Just by chance, Akumal Beach Resort was a spot listed on the Air Canada Vacations... More

We stayed May 6-9. We typically do not go for all inclusive but we bought a special because it was a good deal. Our room was in building 7, the farthest building on the premises, on the ground floor. The view from our room was beautiful and there were very few people walking by. The down side is that it... More

We have been to Mexico all inclusive resorts on 7 other visits. Never have we seen such a laid back place. I slept 11 hours... More

We enjoyed our stay at Akumal Beach resort. The beach was very accessible and has some of the best snorkeling along the Mayan coast. The food was very good and the staff made you feel welcome and always wanted to help in any way they could. Our biggest complaints were that the resort is old and a bit worn and... More

Please enjoy our Youtube Video: http://youtu.be/7UMKN7IQyd0 Akumal Beach Resort is a quiet beautiful place for couples looking to relax in a small, comfortable setting steps from the beach.

This is my first time to a resort, and I have to say it set my expectations high for the next time I do. All of the staff was extremely friendly and helpful to any questions we had.
