Item Description

An hour's drive from Cancun airport, south along the beautiful Mayan Riviera, is the little village of Akumal. Overlooking its pristine white-sand beach and safe snorkeling bay is Hotel Akumal Caribe. With its garden bungalow rooms, plentiful choice of local restaurants and bars, beach-front pool and waving palm trees, this is the family paradise you've been looking for - only four hours' flight from NYC. Perfect for couples or families with young children or teenagers, or even for a romantic wedding on the beach, this is a simple, comfortable, clean and friendly place where you can walk barefoot to a delicious dinner and still get Wi-Fi in your room (but no TV!).

Snorkel with the protected turtles and rays in the bay (even young kids enjoy doing this) and visit the ecological center to learn more; laze in the turquoise water; hop on a boat from the beach for a day out scuba diving or fishing. At certain times of year, witness the turtles lay their eggs on the beach. Take a short trip to the stunning Mayan ruins of Coba or nearby Tulum, visit hidden cenotes and nature parks in the jungle, enjoy the bright lights of Playa del Carmen - there's plenty to do, but sometimes just relaxing in your beach chair is the best option!

Garden bungalow rooms are a 1-minute walk to the beach, have two doubles or a king-size bed, A/C, en-suite bathroom, drinking water, a refrigerator and plenty of space. 

One Lab family has visited this hotel every year for the past seven years and is going back again this year, because there's nowhere they like better!
