Akumal Hotel Deals

Akumal
Akumal, "Place of the Turtle" in the Mayan language, is located 60 miles south of Cancun. Catch a colectivo van on the roadside or rent a car if planning more than a daytrip. Snorkel among coral, eels, barracudas and turtles or laze away the day on the idyllic sandy beaches of Akumal Bay. Take a Turtle Walk, dip a toe in gentle Yal-Ku Lagoon and gaze at Akumal Beach's white sands and seemingly endless clear, sparkling waters. Art and crafts are for sale in the town's shops, markets and galleries.
