"Nice little hotel in a very quiet neighborhood. Rooms are nice and clean. Comfortable beds. The back yard needs a little love. It's the primary reason we booked, and the common area lounge chairs looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a long time, and the wooden swings over the cove and bar looks less than structurally sound. That said. The plunge pool was very nice and overall, for what we paid, was a great place to stay in Puerto Aventuras. We would stay again, but hopefully the back yard...

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal - All Inclusive

6/10 Okay
"The place is currently under construction, so there is quite a bit of noise throughout the day. The biggest problem was access to the restaurants. The hotel handles the reservations, and changing them is very difficult, if not impossible. There also seemed to be a lack of organization overall, and many of the entertainment and activity areas were not easily accessible."
