Hi
I found Locogringos after I posted my message! Thanx though! ~Terri~

Stayed in Akumal in August. The rainy season was just beginning so you should be safe. We stayed at the Villas Flamingo... they were great. On the ocean with a pool too. Only 4 condos to the pool... so it was pretty much ours. Snorkling is GREAT! Go to the Yalku lagoon... its in Akumal and we either walked there or rode bikes. Its unbelievable. They charge you $5 to get in but its well worth it. We went there a bunch of times. Make sure you head out toward the ocean, and you will see huge sea turtles. Its amazing!
It is not a very touristy place... most restuarant bars etc close by midnight. La Buena Vida has great food and atmosphere.... and you can sit on the sand and have some cocktails! I believe you can sunbathe topless.... Have fun!

Hi! I own a condo at The Seven Seas at South Akumal. You will really like Las Hamacas and South Beach! The snorkeling in our bay is some of the absolute best!!! First of all, it is a private beach with only a handful of villas and condos so there are not a lot of people there.
I would bring some bug spray with DEET in it for evenings.
There are beaches south of Tulum where you can sunbath topless. TRuly, it is disrespectful of the Myan people to do this when you are visiting their country. South of Tulum it seems to be okay.
Hope you have a fabulous time!! We are going back down in March and I can't wait! You might be lucky enough to see turtles coming up on the beach to lay their eggs that time of year, or even some hatch! That is magic!!!
