“Heard this was the place for breakfast in Akumal and we were not disappointed! The crab cake benedict was just what I wanted. The hollandaise was good and with a hint of spice I could not name. My friend had crispy tortillas under huevos rancheros with tasty beans and sour cream. Upon tasting our first bites we both went "mmm" at the same time.
We sat in the large, open air palapa and chatted with an American now living in Akumal, working and helping with spay and neuter programs. The cafe sometimes does benefits for programs there. The wait staff was busy, efficient and polite. We left a big tip and a "Muy Rico!" to let them know how much we did like it, in case they missed our obvious pleasure.
According to their website, breakfast is served 7am-12, lunch 12-3pm daily and dinner Tuesday - Saturday 6-9pm. Also the bakery is available for wedding cakes. They offer free wi-fi for patrons.
We each had coca lites and jugo de pinas and our total was about $20. Very well spent. I highly recommend The Turtle Bay Cafe!â€
You get there by veering to the left as you come through the “front gate†of Akumal. Its in a little cluster of restaurants and shops.
so yes we will for SURE be going there in about 12 days, give or take there were 5 reviews (i think) on TA and they were all good, except for one food snob hehehe

Although, the cake we got was free, so I suppose that helped make it taste better too!
um yes, free cake ALWAYS tastes better
