"Great resort "

"Had a wonderful time here at Akumal Bay! Beautiful view from our oceanfront room and the staff were lovely. It really did feel like a peaceful retreat compared to other AI’s. Everything was clean and the food was good. Unfortunately, there was a lot of seaweed. Not really anything the resort can do other than clean it, but this did take away from the beauty of the beach. Also the Latin dance classes! My husband and I had hoped for a couples class but it was more of a Zumba class. Would be nice to include a couples Latin dance class:) "

"A beautiful property if you’re looking for a quiet Mexican getaway! Our rental was just steps away from the beach and pool. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Pros: ~Our rental was a 3 bedroom (each with its own bathroom) was very clean and had a kitchen and private balcony - perfect for our family of teenagers ~The pool was clean and there were plenty of comfortable lounging chairs, tables & umbrellas ~The beach was steps away & also had plenty of lounging chairs and umbrellas. Beach/pool towels are provided. Things to be aware of (not cons per se): ~The beach here is very rocky as you’re getting in the ocean so you’ll definitely want water shoes. Once you’re past the rocky section it’s soft sand and is shallow for a good distance out and is great for snorkeling. ~We only ate at the restaurant once so we can’t give a thorough review but the one meal we had was good. ~The sargassum will wash ashore March-October - it’s naturally occurring and the staff rakes up a lot of it each morning. If seaweed is not your thing though, please research it and come in the off season. ~You’ll need your own transportation if you stay here. We rented a car and drove all over the Yucatan- Akumal, Tulum, Coba, and Chichen Itza. We loved our adventure days! ~Most of the staff (front desk, restaurant, room attendants) we encountered did not speak much English but it was never a problem. Thanks to Google Translate we were able to communicate and get everything we needed. "

"Awesome resort, lots to do for kids and adults. Highly recommend. "

"Room was dark and very musty, beach was covered in seaweed, loud music at the large pool felt like a cheesy Club Med resort in the 1970s. "

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and we were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary room upgrade at check-in. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The water park was great and our kids absolutely loved it. The food was also very good with plenty of options for everyone. Overall, it was a great experience and we would happily come back again."

"We stayed at the Bahía Coba resort which is basic tier of the resorts. The beds were very stiff and the buffet food was decent. Although, there was little communication on how to book the private restaurants for the week that we stayed."

"Loved the location. Quiet. Calm. And convenient. Affordable bike rentals and snorkel gear. Very friendly and helpful staff. "

"The ocean was barely visible from our room and we had NO outside furniture. The room was remodeled in 2023 but it had a lot to be desired, the shower flooded the whole bathroom everytime we showered because of very poor design. The front desk woman that checked us in had an attitude and left nothing on our not getting a room before she left with anyone at the front desk, this caused a lot of confusion. The food was subpar at best, the liquor selection was awful and not anything I have ever seen at an all inclusive resort. We had our own pool for ocean view rooms but it had NO chairs and a large percentage of the tiles were missing from it. The websites states it has 3 swim up bars, LIES, there was only 1! The photos on all websites are touched up, the resort is NOT that clean and is in need of major maintenance. We would NEVER suggest this resort to anyone. STAY AWAY!"
