First time in Akumal; kids wanted to try snorkeling. Well, it was perfect...our boys are 10, never did this before therefore we rented snorkeling gear (15$ everything included). Walked out few steps and we were there; perfect view, breeze; heaven! It was still early, around 9:00- not many snorkeling groups (plus off season). Better for us; I hate fighting for... More

Swimming with the turtles was amazing. We saw several and even saw a baby turtle. We saw stingrays, as well as a very large barracuda. Not that many fish though

I went to a few different beaches at Riviera Maya during my 7-days stay, and I can't decide which one was my favourite. However, Akumal Beach is definitely one that I would like to had more time to spend on it.

A perfect picturesque little beach with a great dive centre. Plenty of Turtles and Stingrays in the sea. I just wish there were more information signs out to enforce good practice when swimming with these animals such as biodegradeable suncream and also we did see a group of french individuals crowding and touching one poor turtle when it came up...

every thing was great food staff service amazing cant fault any thing going tonreturn this year with my mum and dad and my youngest son

Perfect for swimming! Blue waters, white sand, no waves due to the reef offshore. There are lots of trees on the sand to give you shade. There are nice places to get food and drinks. We rented snorkel equipment and had an amazing time.
