"We had a fantastic time at Bahia! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming, and our stay was truly memorable. A special thank you goes to the incredible entertainment team—Alex, Milton, Karla, Mariana, Memo, Ricardo, and Ramon. They were absolutely fantastic and made every day so much fun with their energy, enthusiasm, and friendliness. Their activities, shows, and interactions with guests created an unforgettable experience, and they always went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having..."
"What an incredible resort!! Half way through our stay and we have booked already to return next year. The food is great in the buffet, great choices, especially the breakfast which is fantastic! Drinks are great and varied. The staff are absolutely incredible - special thanks to Elisio, Ramon (entertainment) and Angela at the spa for being so welcoming. We also had our wedding here this week and it was FLAWLESS!!!! Noemi and all of the other staff involved were..."
"We have greatly enjoyed our time here at the Akumal resort. The pools are lovely-clean and extensive with different sections. The food has been really great at the buffet and the à la carte restaurants. The entertainment crew was very lively and engaging without being pushy, and I was especially impressed with Mariana -she lead dance classes and aqua aerobics and water polo among many other activities and she always remembered our names (amazing) and made us feel welcome. She..."
"Our stay was, overall, very positive and we had an excellent holiday. The facilities are pleasant, the rooms are comfortable, cleanliness was consistently at a good level, and most of the staff were friendly and helpful. However, there are a few aspects that could be improved. The beach would benefit from more attention, namely with staff present at the beach cabanas and a bar or service point located closer to the beach. At the moment, the nearest bar is located..."
"We had a wonderful experience at Katok from start to finish. The atmosphere was lovely, the service was attentive, and the food was absolutely beautiful. The steaks were cooked to perfection — full of flavour and exactly as ordered. Every dish was presented beautifully and made the evening feel really special. A special mention to our waiters, Alejandro and Juan, who were both brilliant throughout the night. They were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we..."
"Akumal resort is great and definitely feels “luxury” compared to the other hotels here. Entertainment team was also better than most resorts I’ve been to. Raymond gave us a great bike tour. Ricardo, Mariana, Milton, & Carla always put on fun pool activities, and Guillermo gave us awesome yoga classes each morning. Would return to this resort for sure. Unfortunately, à la carte dinners were very limited and even though we are supposed to get 7 for a week long..."
