Akumal holiday

I recently stayed at this lovely condo on a girl’s trip. It accommodated 5 girls comfortably. Each room had its own air conditioner, which was nice and cool. I did like the fact that during the day, you could open all the windows and patio doors front to back, and enjoy the tropical breeze and sounds of the ocean.
The kitchen had everything you would need. Bottled water was constantly provided. We enjoyed the huge window in front of the kitchen sink, that we left open most of the time and was handy for refreshing the margarita glasses.
Everything was super clean. We had the same housekeeper daily and she took care of us and even did our dishes. We stopped at the grocery store in town and bought breakfast items and tequila and beer. That was a pretty good little store. I t had a large frozen food section and enough of everything we needed.
The owner provided a list of her families favorite restaurants. Most were outdoor seating and we were all ways in our bathing suits. I was very surprised at the good quality of food. One place had amazing pasta.We had pizza delivered one night and it was good. We ate out for every meal, drank everything with ice, and no one in our party ever got sick. I have gotten sick at a 5 star in Cancun before. Speaking of getting sick, of all the people we met there, no one even knew of anyone ever getting swine flu, and a lot of the folks in this town stay there a good part of the year/season.
Right out side our door we went snorkeling. Five steps and you are in the ocean. There were many different swimming beaches close by. You can walk to town, but we had a rent car ,which was very handy and I do recommend it.
If you want a massage, there is a place in town that the neighbor next door recommended and he said was good.
I bought a nice hand woven bag, not your typical curio. in the village, at an artisan's boutique. It has become my purse of choice for the summer and I get compliments every day. .
We have been going to Mexico for 30 years, usually to Playa del Carmen. Most everything is now all- inclusive, and has gotten more expensive, and we just tired of the same buffet every meal. I had never tried a condo before and the experience was much better. It helped that the owner was great to work with!
My husband just informed me that he was ready for a beach trip, and I am booking our next trip in this condo again.

We have been going to Akumal almost every year since 1994 and have stayed in many different condos. This condo has become our favorite for many reasons. Great location, beautifully furnished, best equipped kitchen yet and very helpful owner. Beach towels provided so we didn't have to pack ours. Snorkling a few steps away, A/C effective, very comfortable beds. Plenty of room for two couples. We'll be going back.
