Khrystal K. DavisMarch 12, 2016It's a white sandy beach with a beautiful blue lagoon & Coconut trees. Snorkel the lagoon to see turtles swimming and eating seagrass. Go a bit further to explore sea life of the reef.
Klara LichtMay 26, 2013Amazing beach! Saw many gigantic turtles, some with groupie fish.. Also beautiful fish and a coral reef. Beware of Rudi, the turtle who likes to sneak up on you, look you in the eye and say "Oe".
Kristen StrongMay 1, 2014Buena vida is a great find! Great food and drinks right on the beach they have swings at the bar, hammocks, and beach access. Gynn-ak also a great find and they serve lion fish... yummm
SayvinFebruary 5, 2014Probably one of the best snorkeling spots in the Mayan Riviera. Breathtaking environment where you can get to swim next to sea turtles in their natural habitat. Get FREE snorkeling gear at Sayvin!- Matias MJune 24, 2013Lots of sea turtles. If you bring your own snorkel there's no need to take any "guided tour". Lleno de tortugas marinas. Si llevas tu propio snorkel no hay necesidad de tomar ningún «tour guiado».
Yes, we here to swim the fishes and the turtles and the nice people and the nice cold beer. We dont swim beer, we drink beer. It'd be cool to swim im beer but i could just drawn. keep it clean.
Nicholas StocksJune 10, 2016Amazing snorkeling experience. Skip the pushy tour guides and go to the diving school direct - cheaper and will do it in a smaller group!
Nicolas BelloniApril 24, 2016Excellent place to begin snorkeling. Turtles, coral reef and shallow water.
Beautiful beach. Be wary of seaweed though. Sometimes it can be heavy.
JerryAugust 8, 2016Get a life vest to make your snorkel trip easier and more relaxed. The dive shop next to Lol Ha rents them for 78 pesos per piece
Go Natural Adventures & ExpeditionsOctober 1, 2011No olvides siempre llevar bloqueador solar biodegrable para ayudar a la conservación de la fauna marina. Do not forget to always wear biodegradable sunscreen to help conserve marine wildlife
Dorit KaplicerJanuary 31, 2015Best snorkel ever...if you do the tour make sure you go to the laguna as well
Clark ChaneyDecember 15, 2011Tequilaville has the best food! Amazing burgers, guacamole, and drink specials. Its a great place to watch sports and the owners are really nice.
ShilonAugust 4, 2013Leave the crowds of tourists in playa del Carmen catch a collectivo, meet the locals, and spend an enjoyable day at playa akumal.
Christine IngramAugust 23, 2012Great beach. You must visit the little shop on the corner and visit Sergio for his beautiful painting. Gracias- Abyss Dive CenterApril 19, 2013Calm bay where you can snorkel from beach & see turtles, barracuda, & stingrays.
Zachary McCuneMay 15, 2014Bring your own snorkel and fins to skip the nonsense. Sea life is everywhere- just follow the groups around it!
Lars PlougmannMarch 14, 2014The reef is in a poor state but hang around a coral outcropping and you'll see an impressive array of fish.- Laura BabbiliAugust 30, 2013Don't pay for a tour guide. You can swim in the reef for free and see lots of sea turtles!
- Lars PlougmannMarch 14, 2014Amazing to encounter giant turtles gently swimming around at a depth of 2-3 meters.
Go to Naty's one block off the main road for grilled chicken and ribs!
Don't miss the ecological center; great information about the reef- Lars PlougmannMarch 14, 2014You'll get told off by the lifeguards if you bring long fins. Apnea is frowned upon.
- Visit Akumal beach if you care about nature and love relaxing on the beach
- There's a nice little thatched-roof restaurant a walk away from the beach
Nene CSeptember 22, 2012Please respect the turtles and the ocean! Help to the conservation, don't touch them :)
Swimming with Carey turtles it's amazing. Right at the public beach
JepSeptember 15, 2016La van o "combi" que sale de playa del Carmen a Akumal te cobra 35 pesos y es igual de regreso. Hay un oxxo donde comprar botana..pero eso sí, sean limpios y mantengan hermosa esta playa
Eduardo Andrés Flores SalinasDecember 1, 2015Los servicios que ofrecen al inicio en cuanto llegas, son sumamente caros, caminen un poco por la playa y seguro alguien local se les cerca para ofrecerles el tour y equipo para ver las tortugas
E. T.February 18, 2014Esta muy bonito, en la entrada a la playa tienen camastros en renta y el restaurant esta bien la comida, no es tan caro como otros lugares, recomendable...!!!
Daniel CavazosJune 28, 2016La bahía Akumal es el lugar ideal para relajarse y liberar el estrés de la ciudad. Todo es tranquilidad. Los atardeceres son para disfrutarse acostado en una hamaca.
