This condo building has, possibly, the best pool area in Akumal.
Each bedroom has a comfortable king size bed. A fifth person can sleep on the living room couch fairly comfortably. The condominium has Satellite TV, a CD player, a safe, ceiling fans throughout and comes with daily maid service, sheets, towels, soaps and purified bottled water. There's a telephone on-site at the condominium entrance which accepts credit cards, but you might arrange with your cell service provider to set you up to use your cell in Akumal as reception is usually quite good.
Apart from this, phone and internet service is a ten minute walk down the road, around the Bay. In addition, Akumal has two small supermarkets, an ATM, a money exchange, library, gift shops, car rental, internet cafes, dive shops and fishing charters.
From the beach in front of the condo, you can swim or enjoy some of the finest snorkeling available. As well, just a five minute walk from the condo is the famous Yal Ku lagoon where salt and fresh water meet in a beautiful setting with abundant fish and sea life for snorkelers to see. There are two PADI certified dive shops in Akumal.
There are also many interesting things to see and do and night life opportunities not far away from Akumal. Playa del Carmen is only twenty-five minutes away in one direction and the Mayan ruins at Tulum only twenty minutes away in the other. In between are "cenotes" for fresh water diving or snorkeling, nature parks with underground rivers to swim in and dolphins to swim with, and golf courses (18 and 9 hole). Deep sea fishing is also available and you can take day trips to the island of Cozumel or the ruins at Coba. There's lots of opportunity for exploring, adventure and fun.
If you like to shop, Akumal has several small shops and ten minutes up the highway in Puerto Adventures, there are a many charming gift, clothing and souvenir shops - along with plenty of excellent restaurants. Playa del Carmen is a large center with lots of shopping including shops displaying local art.
If you'd like to dine out in Akumal, several excellent restaurants offer casual and fine dining, all within a twenty minute walk of the condominium. A few of the Akumal restaurants are open for dinner only Wednesday through Saturday, so you'll want to check times to make sure you can try a selection.
There are countless restaurants, bars and night clubs in Playa del Carmen for night life fun; but with the pleasant, warm nights in Akumal, you may simply want to enjoy dinners on the balcony at the condominium and spend your evenings stargazing.
If dining at the condo is your preference, there are two small supermarkets located right in Akumal with many North American products, and the "Corner Store" is a ten minute walk away for basic items. As well, there's a Wal-Mart, "Sam's Club" and "Chedrui" in Playa del Carmen which can provide almost anything familiar you might want. Your Sam's club card from home can be used at the Sam's Club in Playa.
