    Exceptional Wedding Photographer

    Review for an Exceptional Wedding Photographer If you are searching for a wedding photographer who will exceed your expectations in every possible way, look no further! From start to finish JJ Studio was a dream to work with and brought our wedding day to life through their breathtaking photography. From our first meeting, it was clear that JJ Studio truly cared about understanding our vision and what was most important to us. Their professionalism and warmth made us feel completely at ease, both during the planning process and on the big day. They captured every moment perfectly — from the quiet, intimate exchanges to the lively celebration on the dance floor. The level of detail and creativity in their shots is astounding. They have an incredible eye for lighting, composition, and those candid moments that you never want to forget. The final photos weren’t just pictures; they were works of art that told the story of our wedding day beautifully. What sets them apart is their ability to blend into the day seamlessly. They never felt intrusive but somehow managed to be everywhere at once, capturing moments we didn’t even realize were happening. The turnaround time for the photos was impressively quick, and the quality left us speechless. We will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives, and we couldn’t be more grateful to JJ Studio for their talent, dedication, and kindness. If you want your wedding day memories preserved in the most stunning way possible, JJ Studio is the people to call. Highly, highly recommend!

    Beware of Theft and Untrustworthy Staff

    Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal, Mexico I recently stayed at Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal for a week with a group of 30+ people to celebrate a wedding. While the event itself was beautiful, our overall experience at the resort was overshadowed by significant security concerns and poor handling of a serious situation. During our stay, two expensive items—a pair of AirPods and a JBL speaker—were stolen from rooms. Both items were securely stored before we left the rooms, yet upon returning, they were gone. We reported the incidents to the resort multiple times, but their response was incredibly disappointing. The resort claimed the items were "not found" and failed to address the matter further. Adding to the frustration, prior to these thefts, we were leaving tips for the cleaning staff as a gesture of appreciation. Unfortunately, this goodwill was met with mistrust, making us feel unsafe about leaving anything valuable behind. Following the incidents, we resorted to using the "Do Not Disturb" signs on our doors to prevent staff entry. Despite this, staff frequently approached us and insisted on going into the rooms, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. This was an unfortunate and distressing experience that tarnished what should have been a joyous occasion. I cannot recommend staying at this resort due to the untrustworthy behavior of the staff and the resort's failure to resolve the situation. Travelers should be cautious when considering Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal.

    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.
