Enjoyed our stay very much! Rooms were large, clean and comfortable. Facilities were clean and staff was very attentive. Food was amazing at all the a la carte restaurants. Only complaint is that I had emailed several weeks ahead to request an extra bed and a villa close to the main lobby and was told it had been noted but when we checked in they didn't have any record of it. We were initially assigned a room with 2 double beds but the staff was able to accommodate a change to a king and 2 singles which was perfect for our family of 4. Villa was quite far away but quiet and comfortable.

I absolutely LOVED my vacation to AKUMAL! Beautiful views, amazing beach, both relaxing & party pools, FANTASTIC entertainment, family fun, delicious food and great service. While the rooms could use a bit of an update, I was just sleeping there, because the rest of my time I was out enjoying everything this wonderful resort has to offer. The service was great and the entertainment team went above and beyond to ensure there was always something to do or enjoy. And I cannot say enough about their excellent Kids Club programs, both Ingrid & Eduardo went ABOVE & BEYOND to keep our kids engaged and entertained throughout the day so that we could truly unwind as parents too! Looking forward to our next family vacation together :)

Beautiful resort. Not good for a family with small children. The buffet times were terrible, access to the kids club was not stroller accessible (two flights of stairs).
I am gluten free and my husband is dairy free, nothing was labeled in the buffet to reflect allergies, and food items were incorrectly labeled. The gluten free section was TINY with cardboard tasting options. If you want anything made gluten free (pasta or pizza) you have to know to ask for it, no one understands what you’re asking for and you have to wait 20 minutes for it.
Almost everything on any a la carte restaurant menu had gluten in it with no option of a gluten free alternative. Most of the staff could not understand or communicate in English which was really hard when trying to communicate an allergen.
One time I was told something was gluten free but was very clearly not.
Lots of people smoking anywhere, including swim up rooms, took a lot of complaining for management to speak to our neighbours.
We thought we were picking a more child friendly resort with advertisement of kid areas and splash areas, however it was actually a different resort connected to ours.
Rooms do not lock in a child friendly way. For example you lock the door but opening the door unlocks the door so our toddler could very easily leave the room. This was the case for both the front door and our pool access.
This resort would be great for adults and families with older children.
I would not recommend this resort.

I had a wonderful stay at Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal, and I’d like to give a special thanks to Jose and his amazing entertainment team. Their dance performances and activities were incredible! They were so warm, welcoming, and full of energy, making every moment enjoyable. I truly believe their presence made my experience at the hotel even more memorable and fun. Thank you for your hard work and for spreading so much joy!

We had the best time here! The food at the a la cart restaurants was delicious. The location right on the beach was amazing and the pools were great. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We hope to be back someday!
