We spent a month (May 31 - June 29) in La Sirena unit 18. I was working from "anywhere" with my husband and our three year old and one year old. Wifi worked well, held up to zoom calls and working remote well. The unit is really well set up for kids - they have a baby gate in the unit and were able to provide two pop up cribs. I did bring cheap crib mattresses - this is really necessary as the cribs don't have decent mattresses. That's fine, for the convenience factor. We rented a golf cart for the month with help from the property manager Francesca. Very safe going in and out of town with the kids in the cart. The beach is actually great with kids because it does have the rock wall to keep them from going into the ocean on their own. However, this is not a "swimming beach" if you have kids. Any kid under 6 who isn't ready to snorkel will not be swimming in the ocean. You'll need to go into town for that - which for us, was no biggie. We went in for beach, ate at Lolha, got ice cream, etc almost daily. We had a chef service, with Chef Antonio who owns the company, who staffed Nestor for our unit. Great option - there isn't great grocery shopping in Akumal so it was most time and cost effective to have a chef since we were there for so long with kids. You can buy diapers and such in town, and we did Walmart Mexico delivery for a few things we forgot. Amazon also delivers to the unit. Note that shipping times will take longer so don't expect fast delivery. The unit has everything you need for cooking/kitchen. There is a decently stocked amount of beach gear - a few random snorkel masks, some kids fins, etc. The snorkeling here is second to none. I'm a diver, and truly why dive when you have snorkeling this good. Some days the tide/current was strong, which is a given with pressure systems. But on the calm days, the best ever. The sargassum wasn't bad - the complex is on the tip of the bay so really doesn't get impacted by the seaweed!
