we go to Akumal every winter & stay at the Akumal Beach Resort , it is a small 3 star all inclusive resort. the rooms are nothing great , the food is good but the location is the best anywhere in the Mayan Riviera. y ou can walk out in the bay in front of the hotel & swim with giant sea turtles ,we regularly see 6-8 turtles every time we snorkle. as well we have seen leopard rays , cow nose ray , & dozens of sand rays of all sizes, barracuda all types of angelfish ,anemones etc. walk 3 minutes down the beach & you are in town, not a posh resort but a great place to stay & close to everything you need. the cenote tours are great as well & available for cert. divers or snorkelers.
