Akumal Water Park Hotels & Resorts

The resort was great. We upgraded our bracelets and had access to the other resorts which was nice but honestly unnecessary if you are going to be doing a lot of excursions or if you have a short stay. We only had 3 hotel days and the original bracelets would have been fine However, the nicest beach seemed to be Akumal. We enjoyed the pool and buffet at both Akumal and coba. We way overpaid on souvenirs and alcohol and the hacienda. We honestly found better deals at the airport duty free store for some things, which is crazy. Bahia principe coba was clean, staff was very nice, food was good, pool and pool bar was good. You will not be able to find small bills to be able to break your bigger pesos. We asked multiple different staff and cashiers and were told no every time. We consistently had to buy things to break bills in order to get tip money so just something to think about before arriving. The transport was mostly consistent and made access to everywhere easy but it's also beautiful to walk. All in all we had no real complaints.

Loved the wildlife and nature trails! Food was delicious and there were so many options and places to stop. The Lazy river was our favorite, they have inner tubes there but you can buy pool floats at the store too. Unfortunately like most of Eastern Mexico the beach was shut down due to seaweed. If you are a Ultimate Leisure Club member the Club Beach was cleared and the water was mostly swim able. Make sure to get the App and use the interactive map, would suggest taking the shuttle/carts around so you get a feel for the layout and where everything is. If you have a stroller or WheelChair there are a few paths with stairs so you’ll have to find an alternate route. Staff are super friendly and concierge are located through out the buildings so they are very accessible.

This was our 3rd time at the resort and we have loved it every time! The food is always delicious and the staff is amazing. 10/10 recommend!!
