No luxury just Akumal
Adrian D (Bristol, United Kingdom) on May 11, 2025
Came here two years ago and really rated it but it has gone down hill so badly. We have come as a family of 6 and was aware we needed to pre book the gourmet restaurants. But even doing this we could only... all eat together on a few occasions. On our visit to the resort there is no flexibility to add another couple to our table even though there seems to be plenty of spaces. The infinity pool bar shuts at 5pm, which seems early, but they start shutting at 4.30, will only serve beer. There was a thunder storm which has set off alarms, I tried ringing the desk but they couldn't understand and just hung up. No sleep that night. The advantage of using akumal is that you are allowed to use the other resorts. All the other resorts seem to have better evening entertainment and the other Luxury resort, Sian Ka'an, lives upto the name. There is a seaweed issue here meaning you cannot use the beach to swim. On our last visit they cleared the seaweed early morning ready for customers to use. Now there is a truck and a digger running along the beach area from around 11 to 1pm. Not exactly relaxing. I would suggest if you are coming here use Tulum or Coba as its not worth paying extra for Akumal.
Grand Bahia Akumel let down
Bockmaster (Woodstock, Canada) on May 10, 2025
Went with my family for a family trip this would have been our fifth time going to this Resort all other times that we went had an amazing time this time around really found that there was no need to upgra...de the rooms are okay nothing to catch your attention beds were very hard also concierge was really bad barely understood what you needed always forgot to do things that you would ask for so you'd have to call two to three times then you'd have to go down to the front desk to wonder what was going on pools and Beach are fantastic as location was really good drinks were very good as well pool servers are fantastic entertainment staff was excellent especially Caesar and Javier restaurants never got to go to as every time we went to see if we could get in even though we upgraded we were told there was nothing available complete let down so we ate at the buffet nothing wrong with the buffet buffet is excellent but it would have been nice to actually go to a restaurant especially if you upgrade and pay the extra amount if this is the way the Bahia is going to continue I would strongly recommend going to another Resort to try to get better service
