It will include 362 suite rooms and will offer Sunscape's Unlimited-Fun vacation concept, which includes:

24-hour access to restaurants and bars without reservation required

The Sunscape Akumal is situated in an infinite green jungle, near natural Mayan wonders, and rests on a beautiful strip of white sand beach, just 20 minutes from Tulum and 35 minutes from Playa del Carmen.
