Akumal is a relatively quiet destination but is known for its beaches and its many coach transfer options to one of the seven wonders of the world - Chichen Itza. This attraction has become an iconic symbol in not just Mayan culture but also for the history of Mexico. Accessibility to Chichen Itza is one of the primary reasons for visiting Akumal and there are many guided tours on offer for this wonder that are well worth taking advantage of.

Akumal has a number of great times to visit throughout the year, but perhaps the best time is when the resort as a whole is at its most lively during the winter months, particularly from December to March. This is the time of year when temperatures are in their late 20s on a fairly consistent basis. The summertime is also an ideal time to visit this resort, although the temperatures do rise to the mid-30s on most days which can be a bit too hot for some if you are exploring the local areas and doing a lot of walking. 

Aside from the must-do tours and transfers to Chichen Itza, there are still plenty of awesome things to do in the resort of Akumal itself. Akumal Bay is one of the most peaceful and picturesque places to visit with glorious sandy beach areas and a whole host of diving and snorkelling opportunities. Half Moon Bay is located just beyond Akumal Bay and is a famous nesting site for turtles. However, the beach here is more narrow and rocky so best navigated with some solid footwear.

The accommodation options in Akumal are fairly restricted to upscale homes and condominiums, with not much in the way of swanky hotels or other places to stay that you would expect from a package-holiday-style destination. There are a number of great restaurants to choose from in the area though, particularly in Akumal Bay, where you can try authentic Mexican food, freshly caught seafood and a variety of other exquisite dishes as you watch the sunset over the ocean.
