Nothing personal, but if you prefer the huge resort on dozens of acres with 20 different restaurants, hundreds of robotic, ill-treated staff and completely isolated from the country you are in this hotel is not for you. Here is our review anyone on the fence about where to stay: Phenomenal.....Wonderful.....Exceeded our Expectations Beyond Imaginable..... If we could write our feelings... more

I stayed at the Hotel Akumal Caribe at the recommendation of a friend who was having her wedding nearby. I loved the calm atmosphere and small resort feeling. I'm not a fan of the huge all-inclusive resorts that line the beaches of Cancun, so driving a ways down the highway to the quiet beach of Akumal and finding a cozy... more

I love Akumal and usually stay in a condo. This time it was a short trip so we chose the Villas Maya Bungalows at the Hotel Akumal Caribe. The bungalow was in a lovely garden, it was clean, quiet, and had good AC. Lots of room, good lighting. The bed was fine. Bathroom good, toilet worked well, shower strong and... more

This hotel was the perfect antidote to the busy, touristy hotels of Cancun. Our room was clean and functional and had a handy small refrigerator. The beds are on the hard side but they are tolerable. You can also sleep on a small couch next to the beds, whichy they will make up for you. The best part about the... more

Spent 4 nights at HAC while attending a family wedding. Our room was on the third floor (no elevator) so we had a nice view of the beach. And what a beach!!! Staying on the property gives you access to the best parts of the beach, complete with palapas for much appreciated shade and chairs. The pool is very basic... more

I loved just about everything here. We were spitting distance from the pool and the beach, there was plenty to see and do in the area and everyone was extremely friendly. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you've got small kids. The rooms are simple, no TV - but everything worked well (AC) and they were very clean. My... more

Stayed at the Club Akumal Caribe (beachfront hotel) for one night in June, 2009. The place is pretty much exactly as it was last time I stayed (http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g499445-d252781-r18217075-Hotel_Akumal_Caribe-Akumal_Yucatan_Peninsula.html). Unfortunately, they haven't updated the mattresses so they're still on the hard side - but they have added new ceiling fans and internet access in the rooms which was positive. A couple... more

If you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy great Snorkling look no further. This Hotel is truly a Hidden Jewel in the Mexican Caribeean. It is about an hour drive from Cancun Airport and it is in a very hidden spot at the Maya Riviera. The Hotel has no Televisions and by 10pm the Restaurant Closes and... more

We stayed in one of the bungalows, which are very simple but roomy and comfortable. The beds are hard and the air conditioning is a bit noisy, but we were so tired out from sun and swimming and activity that none of us had any trouble falling asleep. The beach is very beautiful, with many palm trees and soft, soft... more
