We had been to the Moon Palace 2 yrs. ago which was wonderful, but this time we found overpriced. Took a stab in the dark for a good place at a better price. Opted for Coba, and were not at all dissapointed! Biggest drawback was 1 3/4 hr. from airport on arrival, but the rest of the week made up for it! Everything that we could possibly want ...

Exceptional Family Vacation
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/10/08
This resort is beautiful and has everything you need! We vacationed at this resort with another family for a total of 4 adults and 4 children, ages 3-9. We couldn't have asked for a better setup. Our room/building was steps away from both the beach and pool. The pools are awesome and so is the beach, although the sand in the water is a bit ...

2 star food at 4 star prices
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/14/08
We stayed over New Year at the GBP Akumel. This is my 5th trip to similar resorts in Mexico, Jamaica, DR, etc. First I will highlight the positives of the hotel :
- the resort is beautiful with nice clean rooms and great landscaping set on a beautiful, yet rocky (bring water shoes) beach - the lobbies, poQols, etc were very nice and the ...

It Was Amazing
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/02/08
The Grand Bahia Principe Akumal is an all inclusive resort hotel and it is fantastic. It has two sister hotels in the area and they all are acceptionally nice and fun to live in. Each resort has their own pools and all together have a massive ammount of beach space. There are many bars and refreshment stands located all around the premises and are ...
This place is awesome, you get 3 treats in one, Tulum, Akumal, & Coba. You never get board with having this many resorts always something to do. Everything is so clean and Beautifully well kept. for sure wear swim shoes the coral hurts. There is some topless sunbathing at the beach. All the staff was very friendly, food was pretty good. I Loved ...
I loved pretty much everything about GBP Akumal except for the bus ride from and to the airport. we had to leave 5 hours early going back to the airport and it took us over 2 hours to get there. everything else- food- fantastic, loved the buffet as well as the al-a-cart resturants, my favorite was the Arlequin but all were good. service- ...

going back again (2 weeks this time)
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/26/07
This resort is so beautiful...We visited in april 06 and stayed at the Akumal side, our room was in the back (coba section now, building 7) we were in a group of about 14, and were scattered around in this area, about 2 couples per building which was fine, we had no problems with that, your so close to each other any way, and ya just pick them ...
I hated the heat. It was about 90' with 70% humidity. Sticky! The water is beautiful. Get bananas from the dining rooms early in morning and feed the fish by the docks on the beach. Watch out for tarantulas. Tip well! One dollar is 1/4 of what they make in a day at the hotel. Don't buy anything on any tour routes or at the hotel. ...

Awesome anniversary getaway!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/24/06
Everyone was so nice and helpful!! the restaurants were very clean and friendly! rooms were cleaned everyday and the beds were awesome and comfortable!
I thought the nudity at the resort should have been in a designated area! (on the side away from the pools or just an area on the beach! That was a turn-off!!!
