    Amazing service

    Beautiful resort, amazing service and good food. Can't wait to go back. A special shout out to Maceta on the mayans ruins tour, his information and recommendations were brilliant. Best Tacos and margaritas from the whole trip. Also to Jose and his incredible team at the restaurant buffet. They made our holiday!

    Nice relaxing Mexico getaway

    I love Bahia principe akumal. I like the pools and ocean, it's a pretty relaxed resort. I don't care for nightlife. I go with a friend to relax and recharge. We eat, drink, talk and talk and talk and enjoy the sun. I especially enjoy the 18 and over restricted areas. I raised my kids and I don't want to vacation with them. So I can't really speak to the other areas where children are allowed.

    A nice getaway

    We were there in September 2024 and enjoyed our stay overall. We managed to book 4 a-la-carte restaurants at the Akumal and enjoyed all of them. However, we also booked 2 others at Sian Kaan and were somewhat disappointed. The lobsters were tiny and Asian Pad-Thai were awful…not even close to the actual pad-thai noodles. If you are going there, make sure to download the app and book a-la-carte restaurants well in advance before you go as there may not be many spots available. The services and staff were great and they worked really hard to serve all the guests at the bars, restaurants, lobby, service desk, beach, etc… We enjoyed all of the daily night shows at Akumal and we think all the performers were really good. However, the resort overall is getting somewhat outdated and can really use renovations. We took Air Canada to Tulum and were very surprised to see a very new and nice Tulum International airport. Everything is new, clean, modern, and the airport staff were very friendly even for the security personnel. We will likely return again when we can get deals on the package during a low season.

    Excellent Trip! A few suggestions.

    We had a great time! Our room overlooked the inifinity pool & ocean & was right by one of the restaurants. We read by the pool & swam every day, there is a small protected area in the ocean with lots of fish. We had a few ala cart dinners, the Ku'uk was exceptional. Visited the other 3 Bahia locations (walked & took shuttles) & also ate at Tulum & Coba, it was nice to have variety. They arranged for a taxi to take us to Ek Balam, wait while we toured it & brought us back. Service was exceptional! Areas that could use attention: 1 - The airport. We arranged for transportation through Bahai & it was a miracle that we connected with a woman wearing an AirFrance shirt who got it figured out for us. 2 - At the Akumal gift shop, the clerk switched sizes on us, so watch them carefully or shop elsewhere. 3 - We are fairly certain my husband had his Kindle ripped off here. It should have been in the safe, but still. 4 - None of the jacuzzies are heated. I really like relaxing in a hot tub & looking up to see palm trees. I totally recommend Bahia Principe Akumal. We are ready to return!

    Excellent bar service everywhere on the resort, fantastic restaurants, great buffets, great staff. Lacking daily activit

    It’s still “great” place to vacation but not nearly as good as we experienced in the past. Minor details are no longer provided, like mini bottles of alcohol in the refrigerator, daily activities around the infinity pool like games & exercising.
