Positive :

Everything was perfect. Very clean. Beautiful enchanting and beautiful. The bar service was excellent and the service in restaurants a la carte also was perfect. Beautiful pool. At the beach you can swim with the fishes. Instead of Dina Isabel is great fun.

Negative :

There is no air conditioning in restaurants a la carte restaurant Gourmet same except that the air in the rooms is just ok. There are mosquitoes. It was very wet. There are rocks at the beach and you can not go very far, must bring beach shoes.

Comments from on Gran Bahia Principe Akumal :

Positive :

Superb complex, no risk of being bored to the size of Akumal, Coba and Tulum. Rooms: Large, clean, air conditioning, satellite TV, bar stocked with every day, beautiful balcony ... Restaurant: EXCELLENT, have been the Mikado, Harlequin, Dolce Vitae and seafood buffet: good breakfast, but varied at the end of the week I had quite a bit .... Drinking: Drinks EXCELLENT beach: very clear water, beautiful and the beach to sunbathe :) Animation: Frankly leaders are in their elements see Sergio EXCELLENT HOST crowd and very funny!! Pool: we did not go but very nice and very big Staff: always polite and courteous. I have never been attacked for the TIP, always say'' hola'' wherever we are. He works very hard and the complex is impeccable thanks to them!

Negative :

Beach: a little pebble, bring your beach shoes for a little more draw sheet for a swim.

Comments from Mario on Gran Bahia Principe Akumal :

Positive :

Beau complexe.Très own. HUGE with Section Coba and Tulum.Navette required. Friendly staff and very good but souriant.Buffet répétitif.Réservations la carte restaurant with delicious facile.Nourriture El Pescador (fish and seafood), the Harlequin (International) and Mikado (Japanese). Swim with dolphins with very expensive day at Xel-Ha, but worth the peine.Beaucoup fish in the ocean for snorkeling.

Negative :

If you are looking for a white sand beach with an easy entry into the water you will be disappointed. The beach is beautiful but there are rocks at the entrance to the water. However, the rocks and corals attract lots of fish near the edge.

Comments from Christian on Gran Bahia Principe Akumal :

Positive :

First time in a Gran Bahia Principe and certainly not the last. Hotel very well kept building up earthworks. Food very good overall, with access to two other hotel buffet (Coba and Tulum). We were on our first visit to Riviera Maya. This is a great destination for those wanting to do activities and visits during their stay. Transport and communication (English) is much easier than in Cuba or in the Republic. We went to Tulum in Collectivo and it cost us $ 8.50 each round trip. If you want to go south to the beach and swimming in the ocean and many go to Cuba or Punta Cana for $ 1200. If you want to get the max of a great site and a region that is full of activities and well in the Riviera Maya is designated.

Negative :

The beach, no comparison with those of Cuba or Punta Cana. Rocks and corals are waiting for you almost anywhere. But we were aware and conscious when purchasing travel and it did not too bothered, water shoes to predict. Many fish to watch, especially the small dock ready. We were three couples and reservations in the a la carte restaurants were a little hard to get to places and times desired. There are many restaurants in the map in three hotels in the complex but we can book as three restaurants, a little disappointing, at least five would be better in our opinion. This complex is very large is it brings lots of disadvantages but also some advantage. Beach chairs and swimming pools are an example of irritant, it gets crowded and lack of chairs. If you do not book your tickets early, well you can take a while before you find your seats. Quotidient cleaning of the room was sometimes good, sometimes quickly, but still ok. This is a 4.5 hotel, but a very good 4.5, the Bahia Principe chain is very likely we will visit other destinations in others. We will ever stay in Riviera Maya because we have not visited any.

Comments from Louise on Gran Bahia Principe Akumal :

Positive :

We were in Akumal. What a amazing site! The service is always a speed and professionalism worthy of 5 *, never waiting. The employees are always smiling and no smile depends on the tip ... the food is very good and varied. We were entitled to three meals in restaurants a la carte and it was easy to book even though the hotel was at full capacity. We have never had a problem finding chairs for the beach or a palapa. The site is huge with three sectors: Akumal, Coba and Tulum, but the shuttle service is very efficient. We made out to Coba (Coba ruins, Mayan village and swimming in cenotes). The cost was $ 95 U.S. per person. A little pricey but worth it. However, it must enjoy walking and bring good shoes. In addition, we went to Playa del Carmen. We used the Collectivo (public transport), cheap $ 2 per person, very safe and very clean. This is true so do not take a taxi 30 or $ 35 U.S.. In conclusion, we would return to this hotel without hesitation.

Negative :

For beach lovers this is not ideal. Bring your beach shoes for swimming as there are plenty of rocks! Moreover, the waves are blocked by species of donkey and water is not very deep. Quality of service makes us forget that aspect, however.

Comments from on Gran Bahia Principe Akumal :

Positive :

What a trip! This hotel complex is really excellent. Everything is perfect and that after several visits to different places in mexico, republic .... The beach is exceptional for the observation of all kinds of fish. The water is calm and relaxing. I can easily recommend this hotel.

Negative :

The beach: there is no wave so if you like playing in the surf is not the place.
