Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal - All Inclusive

The entertainment team was amazing. Guillermo is the best. The bartenders at the sports bar were all amazing. Amazing staff and very clean. Food is excellent.

The property was beautiful, room was clean, staff super helpful and kind. The pools were beautiful, I do wish there was a way to cool the water a bit to be more refreshing. The hotel did a good job in removing seaweed from beach. I had no idea how much the seaweed affected swim visibility and clarity of the water, there was nothing the hotel could do. If you want clear blue water, wait until the “cold” season, all the guides said it is a huge transition. I actually didn’t know that I had VIP access, I don’t think it would have changed our stay- all amenities were wonderful.

I loved having the electric carts to take people all over not only our resort but to other resorts of the same company in the immediate vicinity as well. Gave us a much wider choice of restaurants than if we stayed at just the one resort.

Everything was good except food ( Both on General buffet and specialised restaurants). Food was tasteless.

Overall we had a decent experience.. for the week that we were there, there was no restaurant reservations available so we didn't get to experience that part. We ate at the buffet which for the most part had the same foods every day.. different types of rice, pasta station, some type of meat variation.. not much to our likings. After day three you get bored of the same food over and over again. We experienced some dislikes from staff here and there (from front desk and one of the bartenders at the cova beach bar) other than that.. the experience was overall decent but I would not ever return to this hotel again. The beach had a lot of Algae, the staff was amazing in keeping up with cleaning the beach, however by 4pm you couldn't get in the beach water due to overwhelming of algae.

This is your sign to avoid this property at all cost!! The rooms are not luxurious at all, it’s outdated, dirty, we were even infested with ants. Our AC did not work for the first night and what’s astonishing is the lack of customer service. We were dealing with a person named Eddy that was extremely rude and would belittle our room issues. There’s no dining available we had to wait until it was dinner time hoping for a cancelation. You’re not allowed to walk by the beach past 7pm. They do not respect their opening hours which caused us to not eat breakfast before our excursion. It took 5 days before obtaining water bottles in our room and even the 24 hour room service? Yeah they ignore your requests. They also convinced us to pay an extra 300 usd (which I negotiated they wanted us to pay 600$) for a better room with a private beach and guess what? The beach is not even accessible since it was the dumping ground for seaweed and there was a rock barrier. After we went to complain about all of this, they gave us two options. Either to sign a non disclaimer and they would give us hotel credit or they can try to refund us for the extra we paid for our room. It’s been two weeks we left and we got nothing. Oh and in their gourmet restaurant Alux, we found glass in our desert. We also got our cloths ruined because they cleaned our tables in our room with bleach which stained our cloths completely. So please AVOID AVOID AVOID!!
