When staying in Akumal, you will find that rental cars provide an economical form of transportation in and around the town. You can take the direct route and drive from the Cancun airport to Akumal via Highway #307.
Akumal is an easy trip on a well-maintained four lane divided highway from the Cancun airport. We are about 100 kilometers south of the airport, which translates to a 1 to 1� hour trip.
From the airport, take the first right exit to Highway 307. Just follow the Playa del Carmen exit signs south onto the highway. There is a gas station and McDonalds on the right just after getting on 307 if you need gas or a snack. In 20 minutes, you can stop at Puerto Morelos for gas or a convenience store. Although many gas stations are available in Mexico, it�s always a good idea to stop if you have less than a quarter of a tank of gas left.
Further along highway 307, you will pass through Playa del Carmen. There are many eateries here as well as mega supermarkets. Don�t go over 80 kph as they use radar heavily. And watch out for topes (speed bumps)! They love them in this entire area.
After you leave Puerto Aventuras, you are only 10 minutes from the Akumal exit.
To get to South Akumal check your odometer at the overpass in Akumal and travel exactly 4 kilometers past Akumal to the returno at Bahia Principe and then go back towards Akumal for 2 kilometers where you will see the exit for South Akumal (Akumal Sur). This is the entrance to South Akumal. Our home is the only yellow house on the street. (For more complete directions, please print the map on our website http://akumalvacation.com/)
Most places take Credit Cards or US dollars, but we recommend that you change some dollars to pesos before you get to Akumal, either at AmEx in the Cancun airport or in a bank in Playa del Carmen. There are ATM machines at the banks in
Playa del Carmen and Tulum as well in the Bahia Principe Resort 2 km south of our villa where you can get pesos if needed.
If you want to go to North Akumal just make a U-turn at the first returno after the overpass and then turn right at the overpass. When entering the town of Akumal, you will pass an information stand. This stand is an ideal place to pick up a local map of the area for current and future reference during your stay!
Just before the Arch, you will see the Super Chomack on your right, and Mulgren�s Lavenderia, Oshun Boutique, and Minisuper Las Palmas on your left. The outdoor fruiteria may be open, and is a great area to buy some fresh produce for a taste of the local fare. If you failed to make reservations before arriving in Akumal, the information stand will also be able to refer you to a reputable local establishment.
Something to note about the drivers in Mexico is that observing stop signs is mostly optional. Taxicabs seem to have the right of way, and it is best to simply stay patient and allow the other drivers to do what they wish.
Defensive driving is the most important skill when operating a vehicle in and around Akumal. If you feel afraid driving in a foreign land, perhaps you should hire a cab driver.
