I loved the beauty of the property itself and the feeling of being in a more secluded, jungle-like, natural environment! The lagoon pool was lovely and refreshing, even deep enough in parts to dive. It's a very serene, relaxing, quiet environment as others have said. My cabana/bungalow was lovely. The hosts/owners, Vanessa and Manuel, were exceptionally kind to me, even offering short rides for me given that I was alone and without a rental car. This is a family-run, low-key resort -- it was a pleasure getting to know their children too. I even played ping-pong and games in the pool with them! Vanessa recommended the Akumal Bay Beach to me as well (warm/easy to swim in water located at a nature preserve called Tsuuk Akumal Parque Natural - note, there is an entrance fee) and a beach bar/restaurant called Loi-Ha. If you go, try the fish tacos - made with grouper - fantastic!
Located in Akumal, Itza Hotel Akumal - Dive House features an outdoor swimming pool, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property.

We had a private room with a king bed and private bathroom. The bed was very comfortable, everything was very clean. We liked that we could use the hostel kitchen to store our food in the fridge. Reception was great, easy and very welcoming. The rooftop pool was beautiful and although we didn't use it, we did spend some time in the evening on the rooftop with the nice views and breeze.
We parked our rental car right outside on the street, where the nice receptionist, Lulu, said it would be safe. We enjoyed walking around the small town and got a beer at a local place. People in the town were very friendly.

The rooms are great, the pool area is nice although 50% was closed which made it really hard to get a seat during the day! Also hadn’t been made aware that the biggest pool area was going to be out of service

I think it should be clearly stated that the ocean swimming and snorkeling on the property is quite limited unless you want to pay for a guide and wear a life jacket. The areas where paid guides take people are often crowded.
No groceries stores in the area, only 7-11 type shops with processed foods.
Breakfast (continental) was quite good. To upgrade to egg dishes was way overpriced.
Very few dinner options available. A couple of restaurants within walking distance. No evening dining at the hotel itself.
If you are not an ocean swimmer or snorkeler but just want to swim in a pool or lay on the beach this place would work for you.

Akumal is a nice town with a very nice beach and a great option to observe sea turtles in the Turtle bay, do a diving course or just chill at the beach. Unfortunately, you can't get to any of the beaches for free, all of the entrance is paid. We found the local guys who were shouting at us and always wanting money for something or trying to sell us something quite disturbing and some of them even rude to us as foreign visitors. The prices the beach are very high in the proximity od the beach. At the end of our stay someone ransacked our friend's room and soon after stole my handbag when we were sitting in a restaurant in Akumal town. I think there is a thief mafia operating around.

There is lots to Akumal not just a restaurant and a little beach. There are beaches, many different restaurants and cenotes. Tami and Elliot will help you understand the taxi system and also how to hop the combis (Public van service) that are cheap and easy to use. They are not chicken busses. There are cenotes everywhere. Some very tiny and some meandering through the jungle. An easy one is Cenote Azul. No real snorkeling but a beautiful place. Charge $10 dollars or much better rate if you pay on pesos. Use pesos as often as possible. Get pesos from the ATMs they have the best conversion rate. The condo beach is a bit of a walk, it who doesn’t need walking, but the cenote flows out into the ocean. Great a snorkeling. Big variety of fish. You can see the transition layer between fresh and salt water. I think our favorite place where we went twice was La Buena Vida restaurant on Akumal beach and after dinner walk up the beach And hitchhiking a golf cart ride back to the highway for a taxi ride ride north back to Sirenis. Most everyone speaks tolerable English but be respectful and learn some rudimentary Spanish like bathroom, beer, check please, thank you and please. Whew. Can you tell we had a great eight day trip?

It was a good place for our troop to convene - 7 in all.
It was a good place for our troop to convene - 7 in all. We had some fun - particularly at the shows. The food was good but not great. The staff was great. The beach was a disappointment - full of seaweed and rocky. Trucks on the beach at 7am sunrise a big turnoff. I would not return unless the beach situation improves.

I didn't spend time in Akumal proper- most of the time was on the resort, but there seemed to be a LOT of options for activities on that stretch of road between Tulum and Playa del Carmen, so as a starting point, finding a resort in Akumal is a great location. My friend and I took a 30min taxi to Playa del Carmen and a 20min ride to swim with dolphins. We also went with the wedding party to Tulum and a cenote which was gorgeous and that trip was very short as well. Lots to do in the area!
Cozy and green hotel area with lots of birds and funny animals. The service was excellent and friendly. The evening program was of high quality and the a la carte restaurants had excellent food. The buffet food was also good and the tables were overflowing with different dishes. The renovated Premium Superior room was wonderful. It was spacious and functional and had two bathrooms/toilets.
The hotel was close to Akumal's turtle beach, where we went snorkeling. Historical sites and cenotes are also easily accessible from this hotel.
- the highest quality of hotel service, very kind, engaged and helpful
-variety of different kind of delicious food nicely served without any issues with reservations (in trs area) + access to all of the restaurants from palladium hotels complex
- wide range of activities (cooking classes, yoga, tequilla testing, diving, archery, shooting etc)
- trs infinity pool and Beach zone were very calm what gives great Opportunity to relax
- amazing chic cabaret show
The food I found was better than other all inclusive resorts we've stayed in. I do think there are too many "fancy" options at buffets like raw fish-looking stuff that is probably expensive to make and doesn't look that appealing to me. Maybe some people like it. The reservation-only restaurants were very good.
The pools are beautiful and there are lots of fun options for kids. The beach is also very safe and swimmable and the snorkeling was great.
Beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean. Very comfortable beds, great views, and wonderful pool areas.
Fresh bottled water, coffee & snacks were provided, as well as extra towels, sheets, huge thick beach towels, and a travel cooler. The private rooftop pool area was amazing.
The owner/host, Kevin, was very helpful and went out of his way to help with questions.
I hope to go back & will definitely recommend to friends and family.
Excellent location if you plan visiting Xel-Ha, Akumal (to swim with turtles), Tulum, etc.
It is in a gated neighbourhood so you feel safe at all times, it has access to the beach, a cenote and an absolutely amazing lagoon.
The flat was immaculate, so clean, tidy and nice decorated, with all the appliances you could need.
The hosts are really nice and friendly and thoughtful.
Would definitely stay there again and recommend it.
the studio is thoughtfully appointed, the terrace is beautiful (and private) with a lovely view of the beach and a hammock that is hard to leave if it weren’t for the water calling. the beach is quiet (away from the masses at akumal beach), the snorkeling is good with easy access. it was so nice to have a private palapa always available ( we did not have to run down and reserve one) And Joan is an excellent host.
Lovely small and friendly hotel. Right in the middle of the village and just a few minutes walking from the beach. The rooms are basic but comfortable, everything you need for a day or two in Akumal. The staff helped me to arrange a snorkeling trip with a great guide (it was just the two of us, much better than the bigger groups you can join on the beach) and helped with working out colectivos, etc.
the grounds were amazing and beautifully kept up. i loved their extremely Long Beach with so many different relax areas where you could always find a spot to enjoy.
i loved how nice the staff were. the food was very good, from the buffet to the restaurants. in my too two all inclusive resorts in the playa/Cancun area. and you can’t beat the deal, very affordable.
The breakfast was like the most in Mexico. Some fruits, toast and coffe / tea. Enough to fill you up! The employees are very kind and helpful. We liked the hotel complex so much. It was very special to sleep in the glamping tent and it was an experience to be in the jungle and in between the cenotes. Definitely try this !
location, you get a nice view of the reef, some very nice (if a little dangerous because of how shallow) snorkeling sites right in front of the property, and your right in the middle between yal-ku and Akumal beach.
and you’re within 50m from a restaurant if you don’t feel like cooking for yourself.
the staff is great.
Totally cool location. Directly at the beach and with the pool right outside the door. Apartment was big and spacy and outside area was really nice. Each bedroom had its own bathroom. Beach is good for snorkling if the wind is low and you can walk the beach to see snorkel with the turtles at the Akumal beach.
this was our third time to the property. the pool, beach access, and rooms are all excellent. Free secured parking. Staff are kind and helpful. This is a great hotel to spend you first and last nights if you are flying out of Cancun (and renting a car).
Great location on the beach. The security staff were great. They stepped in to give us water refills and towels. A short walk to a great eating and drinking place, La Buena Vida. Great breakfast at Turtle Bay Cafe, opposite the Akumal Dive Shop.
The infinity pool, cafe, staff, entertainment, tennis lesson and bike tour, golf cart connection between Tulum and Akumal resorts,
Mexican restaurants in Akumal and Tulum, seafood restaurant, hotel application for booking activities and restaurants
Resort of my dreams. I was hesitating at first because of the price but after being there i can say it was all worth it. the resort is so big and has so many things like the dolphin area and the lazy river i don’t think any other hotel has.
The location is good, just right in front of the beach. But other than that, there is no transit or pedestrian to the Akumal center, it took you $250 peso for a 5 mins taxi to Akumal.
