The kind staff worked so hard and attended to every detail to make our stay memorable. We requested a room change initially and that was efficiently and cordially completed. The food,the grounds and the overall ambience was wonderful. We would definitely go back. even the iguanas seemed happy.

After some negative experiences at Cuban all-inclusive resorts, I was a bit apprehensive about going to Mexico. I was pleasantly surprised by the Gran Bahia Principe Akumal. The beaches were great, the food was good and the accommodations were solid. I had a great time. Lots of fun!
