We booked this unit because of the world famous snorkeling in Akumal, the beautiful view and location of the condo and because of its proximity to the restaurant, La Buena Vida.
Unfortunately the rotting seaweed (sargassum) blooms made the smell in and around the unit unbearable. Some large resorts cart the sargassum to another location each day but Del Sol builds a huge pile of it next to the complex (which is better for the environment but bad for your senses) which you have to walk over to get to La Buena Vida restaurant and its really gross.
Additionally, the tile in the condo and just outside the unit leading to the beach is extremely slippery and since it’s always moist from the humidity, my family and I fell a few times.
The condo is very bare and the there are gaps in many of the windows so mosquitos and that horrible smell are inside.
The flies relentlessly swarming our food at La Buena Vida restaurant were awful and made us not want to go back.
We ended up only staying one of the four nights we booked this unit because of all the issues and the management was generous enough to refund the remaining three nights, which we really appreciated.
We are total beach people and thought this would be the perfect place for us so we were really disappointed but again, appreciate management working with us.
