I had a wonderful time at Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal celebrating our wedding anniversary. The service was excellent, especially at the French and seafood restaurants, where the food was delicious. However, my experience was soured by a rude encounter at the buffet, which left me feeling disappointed. Overall, it's a great resort but with some service hiccups that need addressing.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff was amazing, and we truly enjoyed the variety of dining options available. The room was a bit dated, but we didn't mind since we spent most of our time exploring the resort. One downside was the scramble for sunbeds, which was a bit frustrating at times. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we'll definitely consider returning.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with a lot of positives, like the beautiful grounds and responsive staff. The rooms were clean but could use some updates. However, the struggle to find sun loungers at the pool was frustrating, and the beach had a significant seaweed issue. Overall, while it has its charms, I would suggest some improvements for a better experience.

The resort is vast, with the main pool and beach a fair distance from the rooms, but there’s a helpful land train system to get around.

Dining

I found the food to be quite repetitive and not always hot, so there’s room for improvement in the dining options.

While the facility had a lovely pool area, getting a sun lounger was a competitive challenge, which is a downside.

Overall, my stay at the resort was quite enjoyable with a beautiful setting and many activities to choose from. The rooms were spacious and generally clean, but some areas smelled damp. Dining options varied, with excellent à la carte restaurants but a few disappointing buffet experiences. The location had its pros and cons; while the beach was not ideal for swimming, there were nice tidal pools to explore. Service was a mixed bag; some staff were fantastic, while others had room for improvement.
