The hype
Travelers love the space and peaceful jungle vibes but get frustrated by the distance to the beach and confusing shuttle schedules.
Anah Village By Sunest
$120-250 / noche
Reserva esto si You want a spacious, modern apartment with resort perks but prefer jungle quiet over a crowded all-inclusive pool deck.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- Access to the massive Bahia Principe resort amenities without the wristband crowd
- Spacious 1-2 bedroom layouts with full kitchens and laundry
- Dead quiet at night surrounded by lush Mayan jungle
Resumen rápido: It’s a condo complex deep inside a mega-resort, so you'll need a car (or patience for the shuttle) to see the ocean.
Reseñado por @KvnNva2093374: I found the ultimate jungle hideaway in Akumal. The pool at Anah Village is huge and surrounded by trees, making it feel like a private sanctuary. If you love sleek modern design and need to disconnect, you have to stay here.
Lo que dijeron los huéspedes que se hospedaron aquí
Reality check
The 'pool bar' is often unstaffed or seasonal, and you can't just walk into the Bahia Principe all-inclusive buffets without buying a day pass.
- You have a rental car and want to explore Akumal and Tulum on your own terms
- You prefer cooking your own breakfast in a full kitchen
- You want access to a golf course (PGA Riviera Maya) right next door
Limpieza y Mantenimiento
7.8
- Housekeeping: Weekly housekeeping is standard for many bookings; daily service often costs extra. Consistency varies by unit manager.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally clean modern tile, but humidity can cause musty smells if AC isn't run. Watch for hard water buildup.
- Maintenance: Newer construction (2021-ish) means things work, but 'under construction' dust is a factor in common areas.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel quality; bring your own beach towel if you want something plush.
- Odors & scents: Fresh jungle air, occasionally interrupted by swampy smells from the mangroves or construction dust.

Antes de reservar
Es bueno saberlo
- You are inside the Bahia Principe gates; security is tight, so have your ID ready.
- The 'free beach club' access is usually for Kay Beach, which is nice but requires a shuttle.
- Grocery delivery is available, but stocking up at Chedraui in Puerto Aventuras or Tulum before arrival is cheaper.
Qué llevar
- Biodegradable bug spray (the jungle mosquitoes are real)
- Nespresso pods (check if your unit has a machine, many do)
- Rental car reservation (taxis inside the complex are overpriced)
Genio de Habitaciones
Mejores opciones
- Top-floor units for better jungle breezes and less noise from neighbors above
- Corner units for extra light and larger wrap-around balconies
Habitaciones a evitar
- Ground floor units near the pool if you value privacy (people walk right by)
- Units facing active construction sites (ask specifically when booking)
Genio de Solicitud de Habitación – copiar y pegar
“I am looking for a quiet upper-floor unit away from any active construction. If possible, I'd prefer a building closer to the shuttle stop.”
Preguntas frecuentes y consejos ocultos
Todo lo que realmente quieres saber antes de reservar.
Is it all-inclusive?
No. It is a condo-hotel. You can buy day passes to the nearby Bahia Principe all-inclusive resorts (~$80-100/person), but food/drink is not included at Anah.
How far is the beach?
About 2 miles (3-4 km). You cannot walk it comfortably. Use the free shuttle or drive.
Is there a gym?
Yes, there is a small gym on-site within the Anah complex, plus access to wellness activities.
Do I have to pay for electricity?
Likely yes. Most rentals here include a daily allowance (e.g., 20kWh) and charge for excess. Don't leave the AC on when you leave.
Is the pool heated?
No, but the Riviera Maya heat usually keeps it comfortable year-round.
Can I use the Bahia Principe pools?
Generally no, unless you purchase a day pass. You are restricted to the Anah Village pools and the designated beach clubs.
Consejos de Insiders
- ✨
Ask the concierge for the 'residents' discount card' which might get you deals at the golf course or wellness center.
- ✨
The shuttle to the beach has a schedule—take a photo of it immediately upon arrival as it changes seasonally.
- ✨
Visit the 'Jungle Fish' beach club for a more chill, upscale vibe than the main resort beach.
5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The 'pool bar' is often just a structure with no bartender—BYOB is the norm.
💡You might spot coatimundis and monkeys right from your balcony (hide your food).
💡The water pressure can be hit-or-miss on upper floors.
💡Cell signal can be spotty inside the concrete buildings; rely on the WiFi.
💡It feels more like a residential neighborhood than a hotel—you might be the only guests at the pool.
