Hey, Toucan Travellers here! Thanks for watching our video :) If you're looking for more information before you plan your visit to Akumal, be sure to check out our articles on our website here: Where to stay in Akumal: worldtraveltoucan.com/where-to-stay-in-akumal/ The best things to do in Akumal: worldtraveltoucan.com/best-things-to-do-akumal/
We called here a few years ago while staying at bahia principe Akumal. It was recommended by the hotel. It was paradise, really enjoyable and we will definetly go back. Go as early as you can, by 10am it was very busy.
@Silvia Hoard We stayed at the Akumal Bay Beach and Wellness Resort :) You can check out the reviews on TripAdvisor here: www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g499445-d249916-Reviews-Akumal_Bay_Beach_Wellness_Resort-Akumal_Yucatan_Peninsula.html We'd thoroughly recommend it!
Hey Zoe! That's fantastic! You'll have a wonderful time in Akumal and at the resort. Be sure to visit some of the places we did, as we just got a taxi/ colectivo and they were all in the nearby area! If you need any more info, then let us know :)
Wow that looks great! Been looking into this resort and stuff to do around there and you absolutely knocked it out of the park with so many different options! Is Chichen itza a close enough drive to visit as well? That’s really on the top of my list if we decide this resort!
Hi there! We totally recommend this resort in Akumal, as its really well located and not too far from the main attractions. Chichen Itza is around a 2 hour drive from Akumal each way. If this is an issue for you then perhaps check out some resorts in Playa del Carmen 😊
Great video - thank you and you have touched many great tips - I have been going there for over 15 years. - did you know the public can get free access to Akumal by using the Lol-Ha restaurant or by buying a beach chair restaurant - I can see turtles by going out at 7-9 am by the beach but you are right, tours via the 2 Dive shops are better but at a cost
Hi Glen thanks for the kind comment and the useful tips! Great advice regarding the access to Akumal! Hopefully others will find it useful. We see why you love it there so much!
We used both taxis and the colectivo. We'd recommend using the latter where possible, as it's definitely more cost effective and they are so frequent :)
Great video.. Question.. do you know the estimated cost of tours to see the sea turtles on the beach.. I am traveling with my husband and two teenagers
Hi there. Thank you for watching 😊 Costs for the tours vary depending on the company you go with. It is guaranteed to see the sea turtles if you go with a reputable company, however, you can also go out snorkelling yourselves. It's not 100% guaranteed you'll see them, but you'll for sure see some wonderful sea life. Hope this helps. Susie
Good video. All I would say is, I’ve been to Akumel and I would in no way recommend a guided tour to see turtles. They’re a rip off. No one owns the sea, go in yourself and go wherever you want whenever you want. There are turtles everywhere, very easy to see without a ‘guide’.
You are right. It's easy to see the turtles yourself, as long as you go at the right times and the areas that they feed. We sadly weren't able to see any when we went (we didn't go on a tour) in November. Hopefully next time!
The guides are to provide employment and a level of oversight because people are so goddamn awful. I’ve seen people touch and chase the turtles for a selfie. They trample the sea grass that the turtles feed on and use toxic sunscreen after repeatedly being told not to. Not everybody should be allowed in just because they can, humans destroy everything. Have some respect for the rules set to preserve this gem.
We found a private airport transfer to be the easiest and cost effective way to get to the hotel from the airport. We highly recommend Canada Transfers. Check them out. :)
Hi Bernice. We stayed at Akumal Bay Beach and Wellness Resort. You can check out our full review and guide of the hotel on our website here: worldtraveltoucan.com/akumal-bay-beach-and-wellness-resort-guide/
Hello! We got a taxi from the hotel and took around 20 minutes to get there. When you've finished at the park, you can ask the reception team and they'll call a taxi for you! Or you can get a colectivo which is the cheaper option

Thank you!
You're so welcome :)
Great video. I live down here and sell real estate for a living. I own a condo in Akumal myself. This is a great, hidden gem of a place.
Thank you.

Thanks for the video! We go to Mexico Monday and we want to see the Cenotes close to us! 🙂
Where abouts are you doing in Mexico? Let us know if you need any advice 😊🇲🇽
@@ToucanTravellers we’re going to Cancun, first time we’ve been to Mexico. I think we’re going to do a day trip close to Akumal 🙂
Lovely! Hope you have a wonderful time and looking forward to seeing the video 🇲🇽
Este lugar es un maravilla.
Sí, es verdad :) Nos encantó!

What kind of transportation did you use to get to the caves and the cenotes?
We used both taxis and the colectivo. We'd recommend using the latter where possible, as it's definitely more cost effective and they are so frequent :)
Hi, what is a colectivo? Bus?
Hi Teresa, yes a colectivo is a bus that's mainly used by locals to get around. It's the cheapest method of transport 😊
Great video.. Question.. do you know the estimated cost of tours to see the sea turtles on the beach.. I am traveling with my husband and two teenagers

What would you say is the best means of transportation to Akumal Wellness resort from Cancun international airport?
We found a private airport transfer to be the easiest and cost effective way to get to the hotel from the airport. We highly recommend Canada Transfers. Check them out. :)
Where did you stay ?
Hi Bernice. We stayed at Akumal Bay Beach and Wellness Resort. You can check out our full review and guide of the hotel on our website here: worldtraveltoucan.com/akumal-bay-beach-and-wellness-resort-guide/
What cenote is that at 7:40 ? It’s not Zacil ha is it?
Hi there, it is indeed. It's a cenote within Kantun Chi Eco Park: www.kantunchi.com/
How did you get to kanutun chi echo park from Akumal?
Hello! We got a taxi from the hotel and took around 20 minutes to get there. When you've finished at the park, you can ask the reception team and they'll call a taxi for you! Or you can get a colectivo which is the cheaper option
@@ToucanTravellers we’re taking a colectivo from Akumal where would you suggest we get off?
nice video but the music is so cheesy irritating i had to turn it off. and then I couldn't hear your comments. cc? couldn't be bothered at this point
