Are Millenials Over Tulum?
Yes, Tulum, Cancun, and Playa Del Carmen continue to be the top destination for partying. However, Akumal has managed to maintain its core essence and is becoming the destination of choice among Millennials searching for great beach rentals at budget-friendly rates. Rather than staying in an urban cityscape or large hotel Millenials are preferring private villas on the beach to enjoy with their friends and families. This little sleepy beach town welcomes guests to connect with nature and the local community but shuts down at 10 PM allowing for plenty of rest and relaxation.
Location, Location, Location
Akumal's unique central location allows guests to explore Riviera Maya more freely than staying at an all-inclusive resort. The more adventurous travelers have discovered that the many Mayan ruins, nature parks, beach clubs, cenotes, and other attractions are just a short drive from Akumal. Plus, guests staying in North Akumal, Jade Bay, and South Akumal can walk to Akumal Bay and downtown where they'll find beachfront restaurants, dive shops, and stores.
Partying Smarter
Of course, Millenials haven't stopped having fun. Thanks to its proximity to Tulum and PDC millennials are still partying all over the coast! As always Millenials have a knack for discovering more convenient ways of getting around such as hiring a shuttle service to take them to and from one hot spot to another.
