I loved the beauty of the property itself and the feeling of being in a more secluded, jungle-like, natural environment! The lagoon pool was lovely and refreshing, even deep enough in parts to dive. It's a very serene, relaxing, quiet environment as others have said. My cabana/bungalow was lovely. The hosts/owners, Vanessa and Manuel, were exceptionally kind to me, even offering short rides for me given that I was alone and without a rental car. This is a family-run, low-key resort -- it was a pleasure getting to know their children too. I even played ping-pong and games in the pool with them! Vanessa recommended the Akumal Bay Beach to me as well (warm/easy to swim in water located at a nature preserve called Tsuuk Akumal Parque Natural - note, there is an entrance fee) and a beach bar/restaurant called Loi-Ha. If you go, try the fish tacos - made with grouper - fantastic!
Located on the coast of Akumal Bay, 45 minutes south of Playa del Carmen, this hotel offers hotel rooms and bungalows. It features an on-site spa, dove center, and restaurant.

The rooms are great, the pool area is nice although 50% was closed which made it really hard to get a seat during the day! Also hadn’t been made aware that the biggest pool area was going to be out of service

I think it should be clearly stated that the ocean swimming and snorkeling on the property is quite limited unless you want to pay for a guide and wear a life jacket. The areas where paid guides take people are often crowded.
No groceries stores in the area, only 7-11 type shops with processed foods.
Breakfast (continental) was quite good. To upgrade to egg dishes was way overpriced.
Very few dinner options available. A couple of restaurants within walking distance. No evening dining at the hotel itself.
If you are not an ocean swimmer or snorkeler but just want to swim in a pool or lay on the beach this place would work for you.

Akumal is a nice town with a very nice beach and a great option to observe sea turtles in the Turtle bay, do a diving course or just chill at the beach. Unfortunately, you can't get to any of the beaches for free, all of the entrance is paid. We found the local guys who were shouting at us and always wanting money for something or trying to sell us something quite disturbing and some of them even rude to us as foreign visitors. The prices the beach are very high in the proximity od the beach. At the end of our stay someone ransacked our friend's room and soon after stole my handbag when we were sitting in a restaurant in Akumal town. I think there is a thief mafia operating around.

There is lots to Akumal not just a restaurant and a little beach. There are beaches, many different restaurants and cenotes. Tami and Elliot will help you understand the taxi system and also how to hop the combis (Public van service) that are cheap and easy to use. They are not chicken busses. There are cenotes everywhere. Some very tiny and some meandering through the jungle. An easy one is Cenote Azul. No real snorkeling but a beautiful place. Charge $10 dollars or much better rate if you pay on pesos. Use pesos as often as possible. Get pesos from the ATMs they have the best conversion rate. The condo beach is a bit of a walk, it who doesn’t need walking, but the cenote flows out into the ocean. Great a snorkeling. Big variety of fish. You can see the transition layer between fresh and salt water. I think our favorite place where we went twice was La Buena Vida restaurant on Akumal beach and after dinner walk up the beach And hitchhiking a golf cart ride back to the highway for a taxi ride ride north back to Sirenis. Most everyone speaks tolerable English but be respectful and learn some rudimentary Spanish like bathroom, beer, check please, thank you and please. Whew. Can you tell we had a great eight day trip?

It was a good place for our troop to convene - 7 in all. We had some fun - particularly at the shows. The food was good but not great. The staff was great. The beach was a disappointment - full of seaweed and rocky. Trucks on the beach at 7am sunrise a big turnoff. I would not return unless the beach situation improves.

I didn't spend time in Akumal proper- most of the time was on the resort, but there seemed to be a LOT of options for activities on that stretch of road between Tulum and Playa del Carmen, so as a starting point, finding a resort in Akumal is a great location. My friend and I took a 30min taxi to Playa del Carmen and a 20min ride to swim with dolphins. We also went with the wedding party to Tulum and a cenote which was gorgeous and that trip was very short as well. Lots to do in the area!
The Staff is amazing though, they are all so helpful and nice. Always greeting and a smile on their faces, they really did their best to make us feel welcome. I guess that the resort was understaffed for so many people.
I must say that the New Year s Eve party was exceptional! The resort really went above and beyond.
I did not attend any shows in akumal, as this was no where mentioned. Coba on the other hand had their events posted on a wall.
I would not go to Akumal but maybe stay at Coba or Tulum.
Excellent location on a relatively private beach. The penthouse deck and pool were beautiful with excellent views and felt very private. Excellent service by Daniel (the concierge) and the housekeepers. The location is beautiful and quiet, but still close to Akumal town and not too far from Playa or Tulum. The condo is very pretty and comfortable with great lighting and views. The rooms are very spacious and there is a bathroom for everyone.
Perfect location, amazing view, fantastic beach, kitchen had everything we needed for a 4 day stay for 2 people. Bed is sooo comfortable! Front porch and back patio were great places to hang out. There are beach lounge chairs on the beach. Nice pool in front of the ocean. Owner has a book in the condo with detailed recommendations.
To enjoy the fish swimming near the beach, bring water shoes and a snorkel set.
The staff at the arrival time was very nice .
The location is good for 2 days, place in the middle of golf course and jungle.
You get free shuttle to the beach and the main gates .
If you are arriving by collectivo, ask upfront for qr code and organise the shuttle from the gates as there is no connection from the guard with the hotel.
Internet works very well.
In general the place looks very good.
Lovely grounds, with lots of pools. Also lovely shopping area in the resort with lots of souvenirs and a pharmacy. The evening entertainment was much better than the other hotel we stayed in Cancun. Nightly bands and discos - i think the silent disco was the most fun. I'm sure this will get even better once the COVID restrictions lift. We only stayed 4 nights and wished we'd been there longer...
Lovely place to stay and everyone is welcoming. Rooms were comfortable and the private cenote was a lovely bonus to our stay! It is easy to do a lot from there with the town not far and Akumal beach just a 20/30 min walk away. Free bike hire was useful and the tour of the sanctuary was fantastic, Jano is very passionate and is a great tour guide.
The location was great, we had direct access to the beach. We have not seen many staff, but the ones we’ve seen were very nice. The towels were shaped into swans. The balcony with the hammock was great part of the room! The restaurant La Buena Vida was located not even a minute from the hotel, great food and staff.
Beautiful, spacious place for our family. We enjoyed having the option of enjoying the nice pool up top, or the ocean out front. We liked that there were kayaks and paddleboards for us to use as well. Akumal Beach was pretty close for us to do diving & snorkeling tours & grab dinner in the evening.
The unit was ground floor, which was convenient to get to the beach. There were a Few restaraunts near by that we accessed with our golf cart rental. Icela was nice enough to lend us a beach umbrella which was perfect to visit akumal beach. The location is quiet if that's what you're looking for.
Akumal Natura is an amazingly unique experience. It is not a hotel, so I did not expect certain amenities such has hot water. I LOVED the message, the bed was very comfortable, the private cenotes are out of this world. I will come back, 100% satisfied.
older Mexican hotel. not a fancy all inclusive. great location, beautiful pool. sargassum sea weed on beach is a problem but all beach hotels in this area are effected. Hotels lol ha restaurant and bar are great. Hotel staff helpful and responsive.
Resort of my dreams. I was hesitating at first because of the price but after being there i can say it was all worth it. the resort is so big and has so many things like the dolphin area and the lazy river i don’t think any other hotel has.

It was a nice spacious room, private bath, king size bed, sink, coffee maker, small fridge, room service after 3 days. close enough to walk to the beach or take a small taxi. close to fruit market, stores, and restaurants.
The view from the hotel is stunning. The hotel is next to a great restaurant/beach club and walking distance to a tasty jungle cafe. The staff was very friendly and allowed us an early checkin.
The beach was the best feature in this property. It definitely has one of the best beaches in the area. The property also has several pools. The hotel staff was very nice and accommodating.
The room was really spacious and clean, the staff was really helpful and quick to respond. Location was really close to Akumal beach and not to far away from Tulum, about 15min drive
Grand oasis Akumal is perfect if you just want to visit Tulum as a day trip but still want relaxing all inclusive resort vibes! The beach water is crystal clear and clean!
