    Jan 2025 couple review

    Staff is hands down incredible. Didnt have a single bad interaction with anyone. Special shout out to our concierge Sofia. She texted us every morning with a morning guide to activities throughout the day. She provided cenote recommendations in the area, booked our hydrotherapy sessions for us and even had a bath prepared upon request. The grounds here are absolutely stunning. Love how much greenery is around and the beach is beautiful. Food ranged from OK to great. A lot depends on personal preference so I wont go into much detail but El Patio was our favorite highly recommend lamb birria tacos.

    Can’t wait to go back !

    Just left and already miss this place! The lush foliage that fills the resort , the many pools to choose on and being doted on by ALL the staff made this resort stand out Big Time! Karina was our concierge and we utilized her services fully from blowing up our pool floaties to ordering room service her friendly smile was great to see each morning ! Gina and Maximillos & Carla with the entertainment team were our highlights during the day with pool volleyball and drink making competitions and Bingo! They brought the energy which was delightful for us since it is really an older crowd at this resort. Ruben was our pool waiter and he always found us to say Hi, adjust our shade, make sure we were good! Ivan at the barefoot bar made the BEST and most consistent drinks.. trust me on this one haha! If I had any complaints at all is that our swim up ( which we were VERY excited to use) was completely shaded all day so we never used the swim up once. I appreciate the privacy of the trees but it was not worth the upgrade at all. Additionally every restaurant was sooo good with the exception of EL Patio the Mexican, it was our least favorite but definitely not our Favorite. The best is the Himitsu grill is the best, you need a reservation for the Tepanyaki Grill but you can just walk in for the sushi menu! Sooo delicious we went back twice! Snorkel right off our beach you don’t need to book anything you’ll see turtles, fish and stingrays ! You can rent a mask at the resort for like 4 dollars. I read reviews that they are pushy with trying to sell you timeshare or preferred upgrades , they only asked us once and we politely declined and did not hear about it again. Overall absolutely loved this place!

    Rid & Nelson Wedding week.

    My son got married at secrets of Akumal. The wedding was absolutely beautiful and all the staff were so welcoming and fun. Also the food at Akumal was the best I’ve ever eaten. The afternoon lunch barbecues were phenomenal as worthy buffets for the evening shows. We feel so lucky to have been able to share a special time with family and friends at such a wonderful place. All of the staff were so pleasant and helpful. It’s really show that they love their jobs.

    SPA and site improvements were below par.

    Did not get the free massage offered with my reservation. Did not get the free hydrotherapy with my guests at the same time like I did at the last Secrets. The grounds are so dense that you cannot see any improvements to find your way. Wasted a lot of time getting lost.
