The Bahai Principe Akamai was amazing. We had a beautiful room with an ocean view which could not be beat. The buffer and restaurants are amazing the quality and selection of food was fantastic. Also we enjoyed yoga and Pilates on the beach. Overall a wonderful vacation

Apr 04, 2025Holiday to Bahia Principe luxury Akumal
Good hotel, will be even better in a few years time. So we stayed at the Akumal Principe luxury for 10 days from 24th march. My first impression was good, the lobby was clean and tidy and looked impressive. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Then the only issue I had with my stay occurred when we got into our room in block 57 on the ground floor. The room was old, needing repair, a horrible odour and flies everywhere in the room. As I had just been on a 10 hour flight with a 90 minute transfer to the hotel I just needed food. After we ate I spoke to Oscar on the main check in and he went above and beyond and sorted my wife and I a better room in block 92. The room was still an old room but it was clean and perfectly acceptable. After this issue the holiday was really good, the food and drink was great. One tip is to book the a la carte restaurants otherwise you will be eating a lot of the same food in the buffet.

Wonderful Stay in Paradise - A few helpful Tips
Absolutely fantastic hotel - on the beach but in the jungle too! Rooms are set away from the main reception but regular resort buses to take you to from any part of the resort and the sister hotels at Tumal, Coba and Sian Kan are constantly running and well organised. Things I wish I'd known: If you love your cup of tea - no kettle in room but just a coffee maker. You can boil water in it for tea but doesn't reach a rolling boil and can taste of coffee. Tea and coffee can't be ready at the same time - reception advised that there are no kettles at resort. When pre-booking the Restaurants and they only have availability at say 9pm/9.30pm still book and saunter up at say 7.30pm for drinks before dinner. We were offered tables as soon as we arrived, not what we intended on the first occasion but it worked every time after that, they are not running to capacity. Don't bother turning up without a booking, they will not take you. Its all to do with catering for certain numbers so there's no waste, if you're booked, you're catered for regardless of what time you arrive! All of the pre-bookable Restaurants were sooo good, like fine dining on your high street. There were some we preferred more than others but that's just personal taste as they were all excellent. Just a tip, you don't have to choose a chargeable bottle of wine from the wine list you are always offered with the menu - you are still in all inclusive and you can just ask for wine or beer or whatever you would normally have. If you fancy a change from the main breakfast and lunch buffet, the Adults only area restaurant Katok does a lovely breakfast open from 7-10.30am and lunch 12.30-3pm. Much more limited in choice but lovely and calm, open on all sides and just a step away from the Adults only pool and the beach. Its open for pre-bookable dinner too - if you like steak, thats the place to go. LaHacienda! A must visit market a short distance from the Talum Hotel, the bus takes you there. Lovely market, still all inclusive so sit and have a drink in the pretty square where there is a 24 hour Doctor for minor injuries and ailments here and a Pharmacy. There are not enough umbrellas around any of the pools and the sun is fierce, there are plenty on the beach. Take sea shoes. There are mosquitos! The first two rooms we were taken to on arrival were disappointing in that they were dark, smaller than expected, a little tatty and smelt really strongly of musty damp. (We had booked a superior junior suite). We were then offered a refurbed junior suite which was very nice indeed, however, I was on holiday with a female friend and these refurbed suites only have a king size bed. They made up the bed settee which is a really good size and very comfortable so no complaints. Reception, Guest experience and all staff throughout the Hotel were very smiley, polite and helpful, I would thoroughly recommend this Hotel and Resort to families and Adults alike, all very well catered for. Tip when you get there not when you leave - you will be well looked after! Hope that's been helpful.

Bahia Príncipe Mexico Resort March 2025 Review!
Very good in terms of food, drink and staff service, some of the rooms/ blocks need renovation but I understand this is starting in the next few weeks. Would love to see it when completed! Sebastian and Alejandro at Katok Restauarant a real credit to the staff as was Juanita in the Sian Khan Buffet.

I loved it!
This is a wonderful hotel with beautifully maintained greenery all around, creating a peaceful and natural atmosphere. There are plenty of animals and nature, which really enhances the experience. The food is absolutely delicious, both at the à la carte restaurants and in the buffet. The drinks are also fantastic. The staff works tirelessly to ensure everyone is satisfied. They are extremely kind and helpful, always going above and beyond. The room is cleaned daily, and the minibar is replenished every day as well. It was also great to explore the nearby hotels. I would definitely love to return to this hotel!
