Once again we left the cold and snow to find total relaxation at ABR. Our friends ask "Why don't you go somewhere else?" Because the snorkeling steps from our hotel room is fantastic. No boats, no guides, just us floating face down enjoying the diverse life swimming around below us. Because the staff treat us so well. When we arrived... More

This was our 7th stay at this resort. The last 3 years have seen improvements that were non-existent under the Italian company that ran it to the point of being run down and into the the ground. As other reviewers have said, this place is not to everyones liking. If you're a hotel snob who wants your vacation to resemble... More

We spent a week including New Years Eve at the resort. The beach did not dissapoint and our room was clean and had a lovely view of the ocean. The food in the buffet restaurant was very nice and fresh and the service friendly and efficient. Even during the busy New Years week there were enough lounge chairs available as... More

Visted ABR during the first two weeks of January 2012. Choose the resort due to the rave reviews of the beach, and was not disappointed....never have stayed at a nicer beach or nicer snorkeling. The resort is set up to take full advantage of this. No matter where you are in the resort you are very aware of the proximity... More

This resort will not be to everyone's taste but those that get it, love it. The rooms and facilities have a summer camp appearance and the whole place has an old school resort feel  to it.   The staff, the beach, and the location are rare and lovely. You can walk to Akumal & Akumal Pueblo in minutes so that you... More

After traveling 6 hours by plane and another 1.25 hr by shuttle-van to get to Akumal, I am pretty much beat. The resort itself is okay. I stayed in a superior room, which means building 7,6, and 5. My lock on my screen door doesn't really stay lock, so I had to take one of their chairs and flip it... More

We just returned from our first trip to ABR and I can tell you that I am soooooo glad I chose ABR it was PERFECT!!! No frills, no huge crowds, friendly staff, amazing beach, excellent snorkeling, clean rooms, good food, great drinks and bartenders, unlimited ice for broken ankles ( long story ;^) )!! Anyone who doesn't need fancy, dress... More

Doesn't get any better than this. Best beach property I've been on and I thought Xpuha and Maroma were the best! And walking 5 minutes on the beach to delightful Akumal just adds to this paradise. And then there's the swimming with the turtles, rays, parrot fish, a mere walk out into the water! All free and whenever you want.... More

Wow its hard for me to put into words how i felt while I was at Akumal Beach Resort for 2 whole weeks. I am having major withdrawals and have only been home going on the 3rd day. I wanted the smallest resort i could find and that is what i got, i wanted a resort right on the beach,... More
