I read the reviews going in, 3 star resort on a 5 star beach. If it wasn't for the dos eqius cerveza on tap I would have probably went elsewhere. The food was terrible consistently. and you would meet people walking down to buy dinner in akumal (then why are you at an all inclusive)? Lousy italian food unless you... more

We have visited the Akumal area many times. We love it the whole coast. I had read the reviews, but then read comments on a popular Riviera Maya message board where they raved about the place, so decided it give it a try. The place is so run down, and really needs to be shut down and remodeled, bring in... more

I just returned from a one week trip. The place is lovlier than before: grounds are well maintained: more palm trees in sight: beautiful music that will take you bck to more civilized times. Stayed in building 6 -rooms clean: lots of fresh linens: slept like a lamb: The food was absolutely delicious: tastefully prepared dishes: variety of veggies:/rices/meat/chicken/fish. The... more

When I first arrived I noticed 2 things. First, the hotel needs work! The palm leaves are coming off the palapa roofs leaving a really run down look and the landscaping has fallen into total disarray. Second, there was nobody on the grounds! Nobody! I went to the pool and found there was plenty of algae growing all along the... more

Yah, I know it is only 3 star, but compared to other 3 stars this resort should be a 1 or 2! I think a lot of people review this resort with Rose Coloured Glasses - the beach really is a five star but the resort itself is just so run down, I can only think that people that give... more

Beach: We have stayed in the south of Playa del Carmen area for several years and have not found a better beach than Akumal. If you want to experience feel of the Corona commercial, go to this beach! Oh yeah, and bring your snorkel gear!! Accommodations: Our "superior" room was not much better than an '80s Holiday Inn room. yet... more

Akumal Beach Resort We stayed at ABR in the last week of January 09 and had a very nice time. Just for a bit of reference, we are a couple in our late 30’s. We like to lay in the sun, read books , snorkel, drink, and not spend a tons of cash. In general we found the resort to... more

You need to read all the reviews and work through you own head to see if this place works for you. We were not suprised by anything nor bothered by anything because of the reviews. Four of us went on this trip and we had a blast and would return again. We wanted to try a smaller place with a... more

I stayed ay ABR from April 19-26 for my hubby's and my wedding. the review: “Hotel is a dump, beach is awesome, food terrible, service lousy"'s first paragraph is 100% dead on with a to the point description of this place. My experience wasn't as bad in the details but i knew that my guest were less that impressed. We... more
