Our room had a nice balcony facing east over the carribean... and it was only 30 feet or so from the waters edge. The only thing between our bed and the sunrise over the water was white sand, thatch covered palapas with beach chairs... and the crystal clear waters of the bay. We didnt have to haggle to get a... more

We've just returned from a very relaxing 10 days in Akumal. We had nice snorkeling steps from our hotel room --rays & turtles in Akumal Bay. There were lots of small sticks in the morning indicating new turtle nests (the sticks warned us not to walk on the nests). We stayed in a hotel room, on the second floor, and... more

My wife and I recently went down to Akumal for a week's vacation. We had a fantastic trip! If you're looking for all-night clubs and crazy nightlife, this place probably isn't for you. But, if you're looking for a laid back beach town with friendly people, you'll have a good time. The hotel rooms are clean and tidy, w/ a... more

WOW. What a great place! We just spent the last 12 days in Paradise. Went down to get married and then decided to spend the balance of our honeymoon in Akumal(instead of going over to Cozumel. We checked in with no problems. We had a large upper condo for the two of us which was huge and clean. They had... more

I used to go to Cancun and thought that it was the place to be, but once I rolled into Akumal (about an hour and a half south) I found my new "home away from home".I always stay at Vista Del Mar , sometimes in the awesome condo's, other times in a small but nice hotel room. Both are right... more

We had a GREAT stay at Vista Del Mar from June 30th - July 5th! The hotel is cozy and clean with an ice cold air conditioner which we used only in the daytime because the nights were great for letting the ocean breeze (30 feet away) blow through. The staff was helpful and friendly as usual. Thanks for a... more

We have just returned from two weeks at the Vista Del Mar in Akumal (23rd March to 6th April). We booked through Akumalinfo.com in january and we have visited Akumal previously, but stayed in Cancun. We loved the hotel- the location, right on the beach, the fridge (we had our breakfast and lunch on the patio), the supply of purified... more

I rented rooms 101 & 201 for 2 nights. I enjoyed my stay in Akumal very much. The hotel was OK but the location was fantastic. I reserved the rooms by calling a telephone number in Sante Fe. I got a quick response to my e-mail inquiring about rooms. I did have to provide credit card information to them and... more

We had a great family vacation at Vista Del Mar over the New Year's holiday. There were 9 of us, including two grandchildren ages 6 & 4. The family with the two little girls stayed in Condo #5 & the rest of us were in 3 hotel rooms on the third floor - great views of the bay! The condo... more

We stayed at the Vista del Mar Hotel, not the condos. Our reservations were in order, and we found the hotel easily. It is about 1 km from the town and the drive is very slow because of the many topes and unpaved sections. We were given room 101 which was a great location right at beach level, but the... more
