Hotel Club Akumal Caribe

Hotel Akumal Caribe is a real treasure. It is not new, it is not fancy, it is not splashy. It is the oldest hotel in the area with the absolute best location in the Akumal area. It sits right on the bay where the turtles live. Everyone sees turtles when they snorkel there. Lots of people arrive during the day for snorkeling and diving, but after hours it is quiet and serene (and I was there Christmas week!) The two restaurants on site are excellent. One is open for breakfast and the other opens at 11:00am and stays open until 9:00. The food and service at both is top notch. I also came to appreciate the management at Akumal Caribe. They are extremely responsive to any needs that arise. We had a leak in the bathroom and it was fixed within hours of reporting it. They have a tour desk and will help you secure whatever tours, rides, or local information you need. If you are looking for pampering and luxury, look down the road at the many all-inclusive resorts and fancy accommodations (at 3x the price). If you want a laid-back, quiet vacation, this is the place. Although Akumal is a bit isolated from the rest of the Riviera Maya, there were several additional small restaurants just across the street from the hotel and between the onsite dining and the three other restaurants, we had all we needed for 10 wonderful days.

We love this hotel! It’s clean, very safe, and close to everything we are looking for. It’s on the beach and has a swimming pool! And best part it is local and small and includes breakfast at the restaurant! If you need handicap accessible you will need to make sure to be on ground floor as is common in Mexico there are no elevators.

We have been returning to Hotel Akumal Caribe for over 20 years; it is truly our happy place! The staff is so welcoming and treat guests like family. We have come to know many of the hotel and restaurant employees over the years and they all go above and beyond to take care of guests at the hotel. This is a small family owned oasis in the middle of large all inclusive resorts and we will always choose Akumal Caribe over any of the neighboring resorts. The beach at Akumal Caribe is among the best we've ever seen; it's an amazing place to relax and unwind. The snack bar is a great option for lunch or dinner and Happy Hour is a must! We highly recommend Hotel Akumal Caribe and look forward to getting back there soon!

My husband, Robert & I just returned from our 4th visit to HAC ~ another fantastic stay in beautiful Akumal. The welcoming smiles when we check in after the long day of travel can only mean, "Welcome Home" ~ we stayed in 417 with it's lovely view of the pool area & the sounds of the birds & the sea. Our room was maintained by a very nice lady & gentleman ~ always smiling & greeting us with "Hola, Buenos Dias" what a wonderful way to start our day. Speaking of starting our day, nothing beats a breakfast @ The Lolha ~ big ups to the Waitstaff (Juan & Gregorio) & the gentleman preparing our delicious breakfasts ~ The Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese Bagel was out of this world, knew I should have ordered it twice (next time) ~ the food presentation is top notch. Again, we figured on trying some new places, didn't happen ~ not when you have the Lolha's extensive menu right there ~ yes, we ate good & drank good, too!! Have to give credit to the guys who took such great care of us there ~ so thank you Oscar, Ernesto (Ernie), Alberto (Bert), Willy, Fernando, Arturo (Artie) & the rest of the crew. Would like to mention our missing Rafa, who we toasted to every evening with a shot of Correlejo & know he was looking down with a smile. This trip we had the opportunity to meet Laura Wolfe, a very gracious lady who takes such pride in her establishment & staff. Thank you again Hotel Akumal Caribe & The Lolha for another successful trip ~ look forward to our return next Spring!! Patricia Rinka
