Bahia Principe Explore Akumal in Q.R..
Every detail invites you to enjoy it with your family.
Mayan culture, sunshine, a stunning Caribbean beach, and the hospitality of the locals naturally envelop you.
The beach is almost like another feature of this renovated hotel, with à la carte dining, water activities, and access to a PGA-standard golf course.
Come and explore at your own pace, enjoy yourself without a scheduled itinerary, and create lasting memories in good company.
A little far from Cancun airport but service was good once sorted. Room was lovely, great temperature for sleeping. We really enjoyed the swim up suite. Buffets were good. We did not have much success getting à la carte but the one we did was very good! Enjoyed the snack bars for breakfast and lunch. We did not travel around much but enjoyed our space by the beach. The resort is clean and staff are wonderful, friendly and always willing to help!
