My husband and I just returned from a week at beautiful Akumal Beach Resort. In general the experience was exactly what we were looking for. The resort is the perfect size and location for a nice, quiet, serene vacation. Our first all inclusive experience and we are hooked (for those who have never done all inclusive one tip we learned...

Before I begin this review let me say that Akumal Beach Resort is clean, the staff (for the most part) is friendly and does a great job. And this place has the most beautiful beach. Saying all that I feel I must tell it as I saw this. This is our 5th or 6th visit, we have been so many... More

Thank you for another really awesome stay and all the great accommodations you made for AASB. The AC in building 5 is awesome; I actually got cold in the room! Food just keeps getting better and better...love all the new menu items not served before. Everything was so green could actually tell the ground were really being cared for. Bartenders... More

This was our 5th time to this hotel and will be returning for spring break next year. We love the beach and the snorkeling is simply amazing. Clear blue water, turtles and friendly people have kept us returning for years. If you are looking for fancy rooms & pools with swim-up bars & fountains, head to Fiesta Americana Grand in... More

We stayed at the Akumal Beach Resort from April 20 to 27, 2012, with our two young children (3 and 5 years). In all that positive. The buffet food was excellent and quite varied. We tried an evening à la carte restaurant, but we only had 2 choices of menu, so I would say if you want to go there... More

Pros: Great snorkeling, good beach, good entertainment staff, didn’t need golf cart to get around the resort Cons: Could use more Mexican flavors in their foods, beddings could be fresher We stayed mainly for easy access to snorkeling. Akumal has a relatively calm and shallow bay which you can swim 10 or 20 yards from shores to see a good... More

We had a great stay at Akumal Beach Resort, it was quite a treat to be only steps away from the nicest beach on the mayan. So many turtles and sea life, the water was so nice and calm. The hotel was very clean and the staff were so helpful and pleasant. The buffet was amazing, so much food to... More

We stayed at ABR March 22 - 29th. We had visited Akumal a few times before to swim with the turtles. Since diving and snorkeling is what we like to do this location was perfect. It is in close proximity to Yal-kul lagoon and other snorkeling attractions. The beach is beautiful. Originally we were booked in a standard room. This... More

Wife and I went to ABR with another couple week of Apr. 21-28. We've taken a 1 week vacation in Mexico for the last 11 years and are familiar with the resorts from Cancun down through Riviera Maya. Every one has been as good or better than the last, until we hit ABR. It's a good resort, nothing bad, but... More

We stayed at the ABR for 8 days. Great weather. Beautiful beaches. Food was average. Drinks were great, love that latte with kaluah. Stayed last week in April. Beds are firm. Staff was wonderful. Very clean rooms. Ocean view on lower level of building 7. And best of all the snorkeling was awesome. Over all a great vacation. More
