At Luxury Bahia Principe Akumal, you'll get the all-inclusive, Heaven-on-Earth getaway that you've been craving. Located on a wide and super long stretch of captivating Caribbean beach, you can spend your days fancying cocktails as the spellbinding waves transport you to your own little nirvana. If the beach isn't enough, releasing sea turtle hatchlings into the blue, along with water sports, pools, unlimited delish food and drinks (especially the drinks) and access to two other resorts will certainly tickle you pink.

Bahia Akamul resort was fantastic
Staff and facilities were excellent! Couldn’t ask for a better resort with attention to detail. Staff went out of there way to make your stay memorable! Food at buffets and restaurants was excellent.

Resort was great, cheap Carib not so much
The resort was nice. Very clean, nice and well maintained.
Rooms are a little outdated but in decent shape.
We usually don't like resorts that have dinner reservations but Bahia Principe had an easy reservation process, mainly because we reserved for early evening.
We reserved an ocean front, so we got a room in an ocean front building. However, the view was blocked by a tree. I talked to the front staff and they offered another room that will open up 3 days later, not really convenient.
I spoke to the cheap Caribbean representative on site, she said it's not something she could change. So i explained that I would need a refund for the ocean front upgrade for the the 3 nights which I get to look at a tree, of course she had the quick we don't refund answer.
Bottom line, I didn't care much to make that ruin my vacation, but after 6 years this will be the last time I'll use cheap Caribbean. I paid for ocean front and they handed me a tree and a "go pack sand" attitude.
Adios cheap Caribbean, see you again next year mexico.
We went with our 2 daughters and there families. One daughter had some bugs in there bed I reported to front desk they did not take it seriously after 3 times to desk I ask for a manager while waiting for the manager a supervisor came to speak to us she said they could sleep in the room tonight then get a new room the next day. When the manager came we told him that was not going to work we at this thought it might be bed bugs. After seeing a picture of the bugs he told us it was not bed bugs it was ants ask the the supervisor to meet housekeeping at the room. She told us she would meet them in 20 minutes. There was a language barrier with hose keeping. She never showed up when we found the manager and talking to him about her never showing up she walked in to conversation and said that she handled it when we asks her if she went to the room her answer was she handled and roiled her eyes at us.
Our other daughter was leaving seafood restaurant and started to have a asthma attack her husband ask the staff at the premier hut if they would drive them to their room in the golf cart they refused 2 time on the 3rd time after getting angry and loud the did. So this show me that they are willing to put money over another guest health.
Overall property is good, excellent food, friendly staff., great entertainment.
The rooms need a lot of attention. It seems they don’t have much time to clean or Maintain the rooms but exterior and grounds are very clean.
Many things broken in room and cleaning issues mostly with bedding. Once reported, most issues were resolved.
The beds are super hard and appears they need to be replaced. Offered a different room but saw same problems there as well so I choose to stay in original room as I didn’t want to waste any more time.
Overall, Good Resort! I would give it 5 stars if the beds were in better condition.
Had a fun vacation with family!!

Because you are able to use the facilities at the other two resorts as well you do have more options for entertainment. The resort provides a variety of activities and entertainment for the clients to enjoy. At various times there may be multiple musical options to choose from, however the entertainment schedule is subject to change and often dependent upon occupancy levels and times of year.

No
Nannygoat
Theres a few bars at the resort that have music in the evenings, all of which is quite cheesy. The wandering band at the restraunts that sing to you were actually very good, great players and vocalists. It would have been nice to see those guys on stage, but if youd probably have to go off resort somewhere to hear some decent music.
Dlama
There are live music options at night. Many different options because there is something different in each hotel lobby. There are djs at the pools during the day.
Sarah1Ryan
Yes tons of options.

i read in a previous review that people who worked for the resort carried machine guns? is this a safe place to go to in mexico? i am also concerned about the water, is the water drinkable there? i am also wondering if there is topless sunbathing? how man of the resterurants do you need to make a reservation for?

Most resorts in the Caribbean and Mexico have Security at the entry points of the property. This is not uncommon. The resort uses filtered water for cooking and ice. We recommend drinking filtered water or water bottles. The resort does not state that topless sunbathing as allowed but considering that the region has large international tourism it may happen. All reservations include 3 free dinners, per week of stay, in any of the à la carte theme restaurants. With advanced booking and formal dress, long trousers for men.
KellyCC
Experiencing new cultures and places is a primary reason why people travel outside of the country; this means that you are going to see and experience lifestyle differently from what you live each day in the United States. The resort employees and security are not going to be walking around with machine guns; however, the military can sometimes be seen offering an additional police force. Cancun and the Mayan Riviera is not made unsafe because of this; although, as with any travel in or outside of the United States, we urge our clients to use common sense and make wise decisions. The resort water systems in Mexico have all been upgraded to provide safe drinking water, but many will still offer bottled water in the rooms. Mexico does not allow nude or topless sunbathing. We recommend speaking with the front desk upon arrival to confirm any reservation requirements.
LaurenCC
never saw any armed security guards. Felt totally safe and had no trouble with the drinking water at the resort. Only saw one or two topless - they have signs saying it is not permitted. There are a lot of restaurants that you can make reservations for.
Lrz99
Cancun is very safe. all resorts are safe. the guns are on the main road, not at the resorts. to get into any resort, you have to pass a guard. VERY VERY safe.
malvina
No one was carrying machine guns. Everyone at the resort was friendly and respectful. The water is completely safe to drink. No topless sunbathing allowed. And in regards to the restaurants you get 3 reservations for a week.
Sarah1Ryan
We did not see any of the staff carrying machine guns. It felt very safe. Once we were off the resort property, we crossed a couple of soldiers and guards with machine guns, but never at the resort. The resort provides bottled water and plenty of drink choices. We saw no topless sunbathing.
CLLL
No machine guns ever seen in 7 days. We felt safer here than most US City vacations. Never ever thought twice about our safety.
bpadget5
Did not see any machine guns at this resort. Pretty safe being on resort property. Water is drinkable but do not recommend drinking from faucets in bathrooms, while brushing teeth. Did not see a "topless" section on beach but was an "adults" side. We made reservations at four of the nicer restaurants. They will note in the website which ones recommend the reservations. Make early on in your stay so you can get in.
Rasjohn
I did not see anyone with machine guns...
This felt very safe to me and everyone was super friendly.
Each room is filled with 1 large water bottle and 2 water bottles in the mini fridge and is refilled everyday. We found out on the last day that the buffet actually serves bottled water they just dump it into a bigger jug. I wouldn't worry about it.
No topless sunbathing. They have signs saying no.
All of the restaurants need reservations except buffets.
Travelgirl2144
ha, ha, ha...the area is extremely safe! Just got back, did NOT see anyone with a machine gun...not even when we went to Tulum and Coba for the day. They provide bottled water in your room and bars. They also have the big (ozarka jugs)jugs of water in all areas. There ice is made from purified water. Only saw one topless sunbather at the Tulum beach-adult pool had a sign that said no topless sunbathing. There are quite a few a la carte restaurants you can visit. You can make reservations for ALL the days you are there after you check in and have your room number. You can make reservations at the concierge or via wifi using their app.

Overall questions5 answers
I have some general questions about the resort (really considering it)...
How is the beach? Is it rocky, wavy, swimmable?
What is the nightlife like on the resort, I've been reading reviws and haven't really seen anything... Do they have nightly shows or theme nights, does anyone go to the disco?
Lastly, how far is it from the ruins and playa del Carmen?
Thank you!
5 years, 66 months ago
Ny
To start off with, this resort has a great beach, it is not rocky and is perfect for swimming. The resort does offer nightly entertainment but most of the bars close around 10:30, so this really is not a resort fit for late nights. If you are interested in going to different bars, restaurants, and shopping, Playa del Carmen is about a 45 minute drive.
BethCC
The beach is great no rocks or seaweed and shallow gentle waves with tropical fish swimming all over.
There are night time shows that range from circus to magic and fire shows. There is a disco but it seemed for a very young crowd. The ruins and and Playa del Carmen are nearby and easily accessed via the tour folk on the property,
FloresFam604
Beach was beautiful...clean. It is sectioned off and is swimmable/walkable even for kids. There were fish so you can even snorkel there. Not rocky at all, white smooth sand.
Had nightly shows at the Lounge and live bands outside. There is a disco on one of the adjoining hotels...opens at 11:30pm-2am.
Ruins, Playa del Carmen about 1/2 hour from this resort.
Rasjohn
The beach isnt so good. It was too windy to use anyway during our visit.
the nightlife was better at Principe Coba which you can use as well.
Alot of kids!!
Tulum as about 30-40 minutes.
Chitzinitza is over an hour.
if i were you would stay closer to Playa del Carmen!! really nice!
rockon
Rocky....they create swimming areas for guests
They do have shows, bands, entertainment nightly.
Most bars at resort close at 11....Snack bar open 24 hours but not much going on there. The disco opens at 11, thats where the late night drinking takes place.
About 30-35mins to ruins at Tulum....45-60 mins to playa del carmen

I am traveling with my kids and will have 2 rooms- how do I make sure that our rooms are next to each other?4 answers
also, I've read reviews that say to make your reservations a few weeks before your trip-how do I make reservations in advance at the a la carte restaurants-1 at Coba and 2 at Akumal?
5 years, 65 months ago
Stony Brook, NY
You may speak to one of our Reservations Services agents regarding making a request that the two rooms be placed together. Be advised that requests are not guaranteed, however, the resort will do what it can to accommodate your needs. As far as restaurant reservations, most resorts do not allow reservations to be made for more than a week in advance - if you are eager to do so, we suggest contacting the resort a day before travel or doing so upon arrival.
If you have any further questions, please call us at 1.800.915.2322.
SamCC
Make the request for adjoining rooms when you book your trip. When you arrive, again, let them know you requested adjoining rooms. Can't imagine they would not book it for you that way. We had two double beds and a single bed in our room and still plenty of space. So if worse comes to worse, could stay in one room.
Not sure the A la Carte restaurants takes reservations. Know the nicer ones that request reservations can be done at the beginning of your trip. Book them early though cause they do fill up fast.
Rasjohn
When I booked the trip I made a request to have adjoining rooms. I also emailed the hotel about one week prior to our departure about the rooms and to make dinner reservations. They responded very quickly and assured me our rooms would be together. Everything was just as I requested. They do not allow you to make dinner reservations until you arrive.
sully888
I asked at check in and they had already arranged it. They even set up 3 beds in the kids room.
