Enjoy the private beach, located off Akumal Bay, in Riviera Maya
The Akumal Beach Resort is located 55 minutes from Cancun's International Airport and boasts two swimming pools, two tennis courts, three restaurants, three bars, a children's club and theater.  The all-inclusive resort is surrounded by natural beauty. Akumal Beach Resort overlooks more than a mile of white sand beaches and Akuman Bay, known for Caribbean sea turtles. The 241 room-resort is small enough to be personal but large enough to experience many amenities.
Highlights:
  • More than a mile of beach
  • Akumal Beach Resort is located on Akumal Bay, a known sea turtle hangout
  • Snorkeling steps from the resort
Rooms:

The 168 king or double-double rooms at the Akumal Beach Resort have full ocean or garden views. Expect bold colors, such as orange walls and teal blue accents, that mirror the brightness of the Caribbean. The resort is just steps away from the beach and two pools. Air-conditioning, ceiling fan, hair dryer, purified water, TV, telephone and private balcony or terrace are standard amenities.

Features:

The Akumal Bay provides calm, clear water for swimming , snorkeling and spotting sea turtles. The white, sand beaches lend themselves perfectly to sunbathing. Kids at the Akumal Beach Resort enjoy the supervised kids club. Adults have fun in the sun, play volleyball, work on their archery shot or learn a few new dance moves. For health conscious guests, the resort offers yoga classes. At night, sway to the live music at the main bar or enjoy a weekly show or contest in the theater. Kids in the kids club are fed dinner in the main dining rooms so parents can spend time reconnecting or taking a breather.

Outstanding laid back vacation

Our experience was wonderful. I loved the eco-friendliness. The food was simply and beautifully prepared. Interesting Yucatan variety. The staff was always pleasant and helpful. Even the security guard was helping to keep the beach clean. The snorkeling right from shore was amazing. They have tremendous respect for the enviornment and the need to preserve it. We have been to other all-inclusives. The Akumal Beach Resort was outstanding-both for couples and familes. I loved seeing so many 3 generations enjoying time together. I loved being right on the beach for sleeping and dining.

Great family vacation

We had a wonderful time there. The snorkeling is 5 star. The staff was excellent and went out of their way to be friendly and helpful. The food was above the expected. If you couldn't find something to eat there is something wrong. Huge variety and healthy also.

great get away

Beach and snorkelling were amazing. Food is very good, lots to pick from, although the desserts were not that great. Minor repairs should be done to the rooms before guests arrive. The resort is very clean and well kept. Entertainment was adequate, some nights better then others. Enjoyable overall, will return.

Budget - All inclusive

This resort is a good budget all inclusive resort. It doesn't have *all* the options that a more expensive resort gives, but is still a good place to relax for a few days on the beach.

Half what it used to be

The resort recently lost about half it's property...presumably sold to the property next door. Supposedly they are going to remodel and add amenities. I would wait to book until they do.

Lazy week in the sun.

We had an amazing time snorkelling whenever we wanted right off of the beach. The resort staff is friendly and very helpful. The entertainment lacks some lustre, but it was off season when we were there. The lighting on the ocean side was a concern (very dim), but we found out this was to encourage the baby turtles to go to the ocean when they hatched, not come to the resort lights, so that made sense to us. The food was good, a lot of variety.

Take the time to go to the end of the beach to the Eco Center to find out about the Sea Turtles, nestings, hatchings, and ocean release times.

Wish it was Home

Akumal Beach Resort is the perfect Mexican get-away. It is small but has all the amenities a person needs. Great staff and service. The food is very good and the beach: oh, the beach - just wonderful.

Great experience

Overall it was a great place to stay. The only reason it was not perfect was because one of the beds smelled like feet. Luckily we didn't need both beds. Food was delicious & staff was very courteous.

Great base

We were there to cave dive so didn't really take advantage of the all inclusive, but had breakfast and dinner most days. Omelettes at breakfast were brilliant and there was fresh fruit at every meal. We're vegetarian and there was always plenty for us at dinner even if some evenings it wasn't as exciting as others. Had a few cocktails and they were great. Love that they care about the turtles that nest right on the doorstep. Staff were delightful. They had fresh guacamole and salsa and salad (plus burgers, hotdogs etc) available at the snack bar to have any time. This isn't a five star resort and doesn't pretend to be, but for a laid back beach holiday I would highly recommend it (or for a convenient base for cave divers!)
