Akumal's nightlife is minimal by Riviera Maya standards — this is a village that goes to bed early, and that is one of its selling points. The options are a handful of open-air bars, a couple of hotel terraces, and the beach at sunset. La Buena Vida on Half Moon Bay is the most social spot, with its rope-swing bar stools and margaritas. For a quieter drink, the dive shops often know where the locals go.
