Romantic King Studio Suite - Del Sol Beachfront

It brings me no satisfaction to write this review. I'm hoping for a refund instead. We intended to stay three nights and only stayed one night. There were many disappointments and on their own it would not have been enough for us to seek another location but when we discovered the pool was closed we informed the owner of our disappointment and our intent to leave. I realize we live in a Covid-world now, but communication is key. Tell us the pool is closed so we can make an informed decision. The pool is essential for us. Here's the rest of the details: There were ants in the kitchen, the bathroom, and in the bed. The air conditioner was off when we arrived (about 7pm) and it struggled to cool the place. I would have been fine but my husband prefers to sleep in cooler temperatures so we intentionally selected locations with air conditioners. There was no information left for us and the reception was closed. We had to stumble around to find answers like where the pool was (it's several condos down the beach at a restaurant). I finally asked the guard at the gated entrance and he told us about it being at the restaurant and that it was closed. We climbed the retaining wall to see if we could still use it in it's closed condition but it was filthy, both inside and out. It was eerie and felt abandoned. That's when we decided to leave and notified the host. On our way out we saw a man sweeping the steps near the pool so maybe our host reached out to him after we complained but that should be done BEFORE you arrive, not when you express displeasure. I wished it had worked out and we could have avoided the headache of finding another place in the middle of our vacation.

Loved the place and had a great stay. Staff very helpful. Highly recomend.

We stayed for a week in November. This studio is cozy but and everything two people need, including a kitchenette, a big bathroom with a great shower/whirlpool bath, an awesome bed, and a huge balcony right over the ocean perfect for lounging/sunning/reading. Everything was really private too. The cameristas were great and we never needed for anything. La Buena Vida, right down the street, is a chill, feet-in-the-sand bar restaurant with perfect beach ambience and all the coconut shrimp and mescal you'll ever need. Akumal town is cute and small, but the beach is hopping. We gave this place four instead of five stars for some minor upkeep issues in the room -- broken handle on the bathroom porch, the shower is a little wonky and noisy, screens don't always keep the mosquitoes out, and there is a palm tree that obscures some of the view. These things didn't really matter to us, but other people might make a bigger deal out of it. All in all just about the perfect place for a couple to re-connect without interruption. The stars at night, the beautiful setting, the quiet, and the very reasonable price means we'll be back soon!

We had a wonderful time every morning and evening on this enormous and private balcony. The bed was adequate and the service was good. The towels were stained and the bathtub was quite high to swing a leg over for showering. I wouldn't recommend this for someone who is concerned with a possible slip and fall in the shower. Overall it was a great stay and we loved the abundance of windows and old world Mexico charm.

I have stayed at Del Sol Beachfront for many years, it is so beautiful! You can't find a better ocean front view. It is so peaceful , always clean and the staff is awesome! The best food around is just down the beach at La Buena Vida.

There are many places to stay in Akumal, but as a couple, this was perfect for us. The place was always cleaned everyday, and the grounds were also clean. We wanted a place we could have a private getaway, but a great oceanfront view. Some may complain of the palm trees that block a portion of the ocean, but we thought they added to the view. Most days on the beach it was hard to count a handful of people you could see. The deck was quite large, with plenty of privacy. The lighting at night was nice and the low lights added a special ambiance. La Buena Vida is a five minute walk away, with some of the best food, drinks and prices around. Lunch or dinner, especially at sunset is the place to be! If you are looking for an all you can eat and drink resort, with massive beaches and elbow to elbow people, and must look your best 24 hours a day, this is not the place to stay. Look into places to stay at Cancun or Playa del Carmen. But, if you are looking for a more laid back, old Mexico feel, Akumal is the place to go. You can still snorkel, deep sea fish, dive and even take an evening cruise in Akumal. Rent a car if you want to visit Tulum, etc., but walking around Akumal is a mile to anywhere. There's no late night parties and quite hours are from 10pm to 8am. Look else where if this does not fit your life style. Our stay in the condo was all we needed. We didn't do much cooking, but the kitchen was small, but adequate for us. We were comfortable and felt safe. A very relaxing stay. The pool is between the condo and La Buena Vida, if you choose to use it.

Usually we go to Mexico with family twice a year. In December we stay in Puerto Aventuras for a month, but the other trips we stay in Akumal. This was our 4th visit in 2 years in Akumal, and we've stayed at Del Soll every time. The condos are right on the water with a beautiful eastward view of Half Moon Bay. Good snorkeling and swimming; we saw small rays within 15 yards of our beach chairs. We love being able to walk to La Buena Vida for drinks and meals - maybe the most relaxing restaurant/bar on the planet!!! The Corner Store attached to Del Sol has drinks and snacks. You can walk or drive to Lol Ha, another good restaurant. This trip was so relaxing, maybe the best yet. Plenty of rest, plenty of beach time, just awesome. The only downer was checking into the condo and the a/c had not been turned on in advance, so it was about 85 to 90 degrees in there. Took 5 hours or so to cool down so we went to LBV for a beer. Maybe it's a marketing strategy. More selection on the TV would be nice, also, but that is minor. The camarista did a good job every day of cleaning our unit. We'll definitely be back.

We recently came back from our fourth trip to Akumal in the last 11 years. We once again stayed at the Del Sol Beachfront and were not disappointed. We will never stay anywhere else when we go. The staff is so friendly and courteous. The rooms are clean and comfortable. They have great accommodation choices for all sizes of groups and their prices are very reasonable. Half Moon Bay is quiet and peaceful away from the hustle and bustle. They clean the beach every morning. The sunrises are spectacular to watch from your balcony with a cup of coffee. La Buena Vita right next door is a great place for any meal and just a really cool place to hangout and relax. There are also many other dining choices within walking distance. So if you are looking for a great place to stay at a reasonable price be sure to check out the Del Sol Beachfront...you won't be disappointed.

Great view Great Patio great location!!

I worked with Heidi, based in the U.S., to plan my wedding in Akumal. The experience my family and friends had there, in addition to that which my now-husband and I enjoyed, vastly exceeded our expectations. I had visited Akumal in 2011 and stayed at Half Moon Bay condos, so I already knew how nice the area was, but everyone at the Del Sol condos were present, prompt in responding to any issues, and so, so nice. Everyone in our wedding group is already talking about coming back :) THANK YOU!!!!
