We stayed at Bahía Príncipe Luxury Akumal for three nights and four days, and everything was perfect. We were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary room upgrade, which made our stay even more special. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, and the entire resort was very clean and well maintained. The buffet options were fantastic with plenty of variety, and we also appreciated the availability of room service. While the room service food menu is limited, we actually loved being able to enjoy our meals in the privacy and peace of our room. Another great perk was having access to other resorts on the property, which gave us even more dining and activity options. Overall, it was an excellent experience and we would absolutely return.

We were accommodated in the renovated Building 47, which was very well located—close to the pool, beach, and buffet restaurant. The weather was excellent, and we spent a lot of time enjoying the sea and beach. During the first week, the food selection was noticeably better than in the second week. Popular items such as grilled shrimp or fried stuffed pig were often finished within the first 1–1.5 hours and were not always replenished. Guests with different bracelet colors (purple, green) use the same buffet, which made it difficult for the staff to keep up with cooking and refilling dishes. Food labels were sometimes missing or mixed up, Breakfast felt repetitive, with many plates of bacon mainly used to fill space rather than provide variety. Cold cuts were limited to only four types, and the cheese selection was small. On a positive note, the à la carte restaurants were excellent and provided a much better dining experience than the buffet. Some small improvements could also enhance the overall comfort, such as adding hooks to beach umbrellas and providing larger, more comfortable chairs on the balconies.

Just a beautiful place. So well maintained, good food, and location, location, location. Right on the water. 18 different restaurants for an all inclusive experience above most others. Throw in a couple of snack bars by the pools, regular buffets, and you can eat pretty well anytime of day. Drinks included, so just bring some tip money. A sports bar that has many live events on a multitude of tv's. A casino and a straw market. Trams take you anywhere on the property so no car rental needed. Bahia tries pretty hard to make your vacation special. We keep on coming back as it represents a good return for our vacation dollar.

I had previously stayed solo at Bahia Principe Sian Kaan and enjoyed it, but it was not the right fit for a trip with my partner. I wanted easy beach access and a more vibrant yet relaxing atmosphere, so I chose Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal for our first vacation together. It turned out to be the perfect choice and far exceeded our expectations. From the minute we arrived, the service was outstanding. After a long red eye flight, being greeted with sparkling wine and a cool towel felt incredible. José at reception welcomed us with so much warmth and even upgraded us to the Adults Only Junior Suite Deluxe since our room category was no longer available. It was a thoughtful surprise that really set the tone for our trip. The room originally had two double beds, but the team quickly converted them into a king setup. While an actual king bed would have been ideal, the room was still beautiful, clean and extremely comfortable. A very special thank you goes to Sofia in Guest Services. She was exceptional throughout our stay and genuinely went above and beyond. She checked in with us often, made sure everything was perfect and helped make my boyfriend’s very first trip to Mexico special. Her kindness and professionalism truly stood out. The resort itself is extremely clean and well maintained. Every area we visited was spotless, from the pools to the restaurants to the walkways. We also explored other properties in the complex, including the brand new Bahia Principe Tequila. While it was beautiful and modern, we both felt Akumal offered better value for the money and a more relaxing environment. Akumal felt calm without being boring and lively without being noisy, which was exactly what we wanted. The food, drinks and service were excellent during our entire stay. My boyfriend especially loved the variety and quality at the restaurants. The staff were always friendly, polite and attentive. We had one small hiccup at a restaurant during the week. When our original plates were served, they were a bit cool before I said anything. The server corrected my order immediately and brought out a fresh plate that was hot and delicious. My boyfriend ate his dish as it was and enjoyed it. This was such a tiny issue and truly the only thing all week that was not perfect. Any frustrations we experienced were due to a few inconsiderate guests and had nothing to do with the resort. The staff were amazing every single day and we met many kind people throughout the week. Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal is truly a fantastic resort for couples, especially in the adults only area. It is also great for families and has a warm, inviting and very clean atmosphere everywhere you go. The value for the money is outstanding and we left already talking about our next visit. Thank you to all the staff at Akumal for making our vacation unforgettable!

My new best resort. The staff is exceptional, they go the extra mile to make sure you have everything you need. Unlike Punta Cana where they look at you like you have two heads when you ask for something. I will never go back there again but Mexico is a totally different experience. On my last morning my room service brought me a plate of fruit, which had strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries because I couldn’t eat any melons. I hadn’t called room service for this. He just brought it to me. That was the nicest thing any staff has done for me. I can’t say nothing bad about Akima other than the big boulders in the beach area. This was the best experience I could ever have. I highly recommend it.
