If you are arriving from Tulum Airport, the best option is Chedraui Tulum. It is an easy stop before heading north to Akumal and is ideal for a full grocery run.

Inside Akumal, you will find a mix of convenience stores and smaller local grocery shops that are useful for everyday needs and quick top-up trips.

These stores are good for items such as bottled water, snacks, drinks, basic pantry staples, breakfast foods, produce, and other day-to-day essentials. Some also carry beer, wine, and a smaller selection of liquor.

They are very convenient for smaller shopping trips, although selection is more limited than at the larger supermarkets in Puerto Aventuras or Tulum.

The nearest full supermarkets are Chedraui Puerto Aventuras, about 15–20 minutes north, and Chedraui Tulum, about 20–25 minutes south.

These larger stores offer a fuller range of produce, meats, bakery items, household goods, and alcohol, so many guests choose to do one larger shop there and then use Akumal stores for smaller top-ups during their stay.

Generally, yes. Smaller stores in Akumal tend to be a bit more expensive than the larger supermarkets.

That convenience is often worth it for quick purchases, but for a full grocery run you will find better pricing and a wider selection at the larger stores outside Akumal.

Hours vary depending on the type of store. Local grocery stores in Akumal are typically open during the day and evening, while larger supermarkets such as Chedraui usually stay open slightly later.

For convenience stores, the OXXO and 7-Eleven at the entrance to Akumal are commonly listed as open 24 hours, which can be helpful for late arrivals or quick essentials.

Even so, store hours can occasionally vary, so it is still a good idea to do major shopping earlier in the day whenever possible.

In Quintana Roo, alcohol sales in stores and supermarkets are restricted by law. Retail sales are generally allowed from 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM, Monday through Saturday, and on Sundays they usually end at 5:00 PM.

There are also occasional dry law periods when alcohol sales are temporarily suspended, most commonly during elections. Similar temporary restrictions can also be imposed during storm or hurricane-related emergencies if local authorities announce them.

If you plan to buy wine, beer, or spirits for your stay, it is best to shop earlier in the day and not leave it until Sunday evening or the last minute.

Restaurants can still sell alcohol at times when the stores are not allowed to.
