What to Know When You Arrive on a Sunday Afternoon in Akumal
Arriving in Akumal on a Sunday afternoon? Welcome. A little planning ahead can make a big difference in how smoothly your vacation begins, especially when it comes to groceries and beverages.
Sunday Alcohol Sales in Akumal
In Quintana Roo, alcohol sales at grocery stores, convenience stores, and liquor shops are not permitted after 5:00 PM on Sundays. This is a state-wide regulation and applies throughout Akumal, Playa del Carmen, and the Riviera Maya.
Restaurants, bars, and beach clubs may continue serving alcohol, but retail purchases stop at 5:00 PM. If you arrive later in the afternoon, you may not be able to buy drinks for your vacation home that evening.
Plan Ahead with Prestocking
To avoid last-minute errands or delays, we recommend notifying your property manager at least 72 hours before arrival if you would like your fridge stocked ahead of time.
