We go to Cozumel and Akumal a couple times a year. Our Dec trip is usually split between both places. Cozumel first for 4 days of diving. We've never had a problem arranging a late check out so we can get in 2 am dives, shower, pack and get a 3 or 4pm ferry. Then we head to Akumal for 5 nights. We do a few days of ocean dives which are very laid back and easy, and totally different then Cozumel. We also do a day or two of cenotes. In Cozumel we try different places to stay and I haven't found one so far that I love so much that I can't stay anywhere else. We dive with Living Underwater and have always had a great time. (Jeremy will allow non-divers at no charge if there's room on the boat). In Akumal we rent a condo at Vista del Mar and do our ocean dives with Akumal Dive Adventures. The best cenote experience we've had was with Dennis from Diablo Divers.
Akumal is a good location if you want to do day trips to ruins like Tulum and Coba. There are also lots of other places to go close by. And of course, you're only about a 25 minutes from Playa del Carmen if Akumal gets too quiet for you. If you're going before Christmas it is pretty quiet.
