For your next vacation, imagine flying into Cancun airport. After gathering your bags and taking your first few breaths of fresh Caribbean air, hail a taxi and, with a hint of pride in your voice, tell him to take you to Akumal. That’s right, instead of heading to the mother of all Mexican tourist destinations, you’ll be heading south to a quieter but no less lovely locale. You’ve decided to things differently, and that’s a very good thing.
Akumal is on the Yucatan peninsula and is home to charming bays, ample diving, fishing, and exploring opportunities, and an array of incredible vacation rentals. One of these will provide you and your traveling companions with the ideal home base for your relaxing getaway, which is likely to end up ranking near the top of your all-time list of favorites. Escaping the crowds as well as the standard hotel arrangement will turn out to be the smartest decisions you’ve ever made.
