Hotels near Akumal Beach

"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."

"The staff was amazing - cleaning, restocking the mini bar, wait staff, activities people, transport drivers - courteous, eager to please. We took a tour and a mini Spanish lesson with Ximena. She was knowledgeable, charming and went at our pace. AND the food! Wow. Tons of choice, all excellent. I liked how they had the pools divided according to who was using them - kids, party people, quieter people. Smart. Many loungers available everywhere, esp the beach. Loved having the market on site, bicycle tours on site. Loved the transport system. The only drawback was the ocean. The sargassum is piled up on the beach and stinks. We found an article that said it absorbs heavy metals. We felt congested when we were near it. It's in the water, too. We were there in March and the water was rough (red flags the whole week) and knocked you around and off your feet. The waves and the sargassum made it difficult to navigate the coral bottom which was hazardous even with water shoes. Guest services staff should continue to learn English and the computer systems eg booking meals at each of associate resorts"

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

"Stayed March 1-11, 2026 The beach was terrible with sargassum never seen before. I realize this is a natural phenomenon but no effort was made to reduce it. The Sargassum started to rot making a smell so bad it permeated most of the resort. Bathrooms needed upgrading. Staff amazing. Pool areas wonderful. If you are a “beach” person stay away…..if you are a pool person it’s good. "

"This resort checked all the boxes - beautiful ocean view and huge rooms stocked with amenities. Made my vacation (a 50th birthday trip with 7 friends from multiple locations) amazing. The food was resort food (fine, not exceptional except for the Mexican restaurant, where we went for food) but that's normal (having stayed at 5 resorts in the Caribbean, this is totally the way it is), and you get a lot of value for the money. "

"Our room was extremely clean, all staff was excellent. The manager Claudia did her best to accommodate us and was very pleasant and helpful. Laura and Elizabeth also were friendly and helpful and looked after our needs promptly. Thankyou for making our holiday experience wonderful!❤️"
