10 Things to do Good for Kids in Akumal That You Shouldn't Miss
Akumal means "Place of the Turtle" in the Mayan language, and if you snorkel here, you just might see one swimming alongside you. (Don’t touch it, though. That’s prohibited by law.) You’ll definitely see coral and beautiful fish in the clear, sparkling waters. This tourist-friendly little town is about an hour south of Cancun—but it seems light-years away.

My favorite part of the experience was the amazing and truly awesome caves with cenotes inside of them, they were unique and special because are 100% natural, and located in middle of the jungle. The tour consist in 4 caves, each one has something different, and Roberto in every moment takes care of you. Also, if you want he gives you time alone inside of the place. Since de first moment you arrived Roberto gives you an exclusive treatment, he will receive you with some lunch at the house, and then he personally gives you the tour. The place it’s pet friendly, and exclusive. It’s an experience you can’t miss if you are around Playa Del Carmen or Tulum, you won’t regret it. It’s perfect to have an adventure, because you explore and swim at the same time. CAN’T WAIT TO GET BACK! PD: each tour is exclusive because you reserve and you will not find more people.

Yal-ku lagoon is an estuary where fresh and salt water meet, so the biodiversity in the lagoon is incredible. The water is teeming with fish. You can rent a snorkel or bring your own. The park around the lagoon features interesting art statues. There is a small snack bar, clean restrooms, and lockers.

Stay in this area when you go to akumal. Do not rent a car. Get a golf cart. I recommend La Joya for a great condo and awesome location.
