GROCERY DELIVERY

The easiest way to get groceries is to order them online and have them delivered to your Akumal lodging upon arrival, so that you can spend important time enjoying your Akumal vacation. Please contact Gessi at Riviera Maya Groceries for this service.

Had a long day of traveling and don't want to cook or go sit in a restaurant? Order an arrival night dinner. Some villas offer this, or you can order directly from Turtle Bay Bakery who will deliver free of charge to the Akumal Area.
