    Amazing resort and incredible staff! Secrets Akumal 10/10

    We had the BEST time at Secrets Akumal. You will be hard pressed to find something not right with this resort. Everything was incredible. The food is amazing, the resort is stunning and the beach is incredible. It was a truly amazing week. Entertainment team : we had so much fun with the entertainment team - special shout outs to Rene, Gabriel, Max, Abrahim and Carlos for so much fun with lots of pool and beach volleyball, pool basket ball and the crazy games!! thanks also Andrea for a wonderful bike ride tour and guacamole class, and Gina for a really fun movie quiz and Isabel for fun classes. Reception: special mention to Diego who helped me get some antibiotics ordered and delivered, much appreciated. Pool team: huge thanks to Israel for always being so happy and helpful with drinks and food everyday! Asian restaurant: thank you Adolfo for a wonderful Teppanyaki experience! The staff especially are wonderful and really made our trip. The servers in all restaurants, breakfast and pools were incredibly hospitable and worked super hard - as do the ground staff, bell boys etc. You see everyone working so hard in the heat and always happy to say hello to you. We will definitely return to Secrets Akumal. We had a great experience and was faultless in our eyes.

    Sun, Sea and Cenotes

    Not 48 hours back in the UK and already I am desperate to get back to Secrets Akumal. I'm not one for writing reviews but I felt that anyone debating whether or not visit.. YOU MUST! Upon arrival, we were greeted with a glass of prosecco, checked - in and given an overview of the hotel and restaurants by our concierge, Diego. Off to a good start! Anyone travelling from the UK/ Europe knows that with the time difference, you're up early the next day! Walking along the crystal clear waters of the hotel beachfront of Akumal (Mayan for turtle - quick clue) you get to see how beautiful it is. The hotel offers a snorkelling trip just off the beach to the see the turtles. Its not IF but WHEN... its incredible so see in their natural environment and worth booking! You can grab a snorkelling kit from the hotel also and venture out on your own if you want to chance it. In the evenings, we sampled the many restaurants but calling out Portofino (Italian) and Bordeaux (French) as our favourites. If you go for the steak grill - wear your big pants as they are pretty big and cooked amazingly! There are an array of shows throughout the week and live music in the lobby bar if you want to chill. Desires however, the club, for the one bight we could manage to go BIG! Throughout or 9 days, we enjoyed every moment. But for us, what makes a hotel is the people. Everyone of the resort team made the stay for us unforgettable. A HUUGE call out to the entertainment team down at the activity pool. Maximillion, Reme, Ibrahim, Gina, Andrea, Isabella and of course, Gabriel! My partner and I jumped in, quite literally, to everything on offer. Volleyball, Pool Volleyball, Crazy Games, Guacamole sessions and of course, the pool bar! Shout out to Israel on the pool service who kept our drinks full! We had such an incredible time and will certainly be back in the future ! Thank you Secrets Akumal Team!!

    Love Secrets Akumal

    This was our second time at Secrets Akumal! We really enjoyed our first time and the second time was even better. We have been to many resorts throughout Mexico and have never done the same one twice so I think that speaks for itself. The grounds are beautiful, the food and drinks are great, the staff is always helpful (loved our concierge for building 5 Diana). The beach is superb. It was our anniversary trip and they made us feel special on multiple occasions - the sign on our door, waiters at the restaurants knowing it was our anniversary and bringing out special deserts, etc.

    Partial ocean view room - AMAZING service

    From the minute we walked into the resort I KNEW we chose the right one. The service was amazing. We were given a tour of our suite and introduced to the people who would help us during our stay. The food was amazing and the coffee was strong. My favorite place to dine at was the seafood spot called Oceana and of course Coco Cafe. We got an ocean view room and it was PERFECT. The amenities and non-alcoholic drinks were DEVINE! i could float in the pool drinking strawberry margaritas all day. It was such a beautiful time and i'd def will be back.

    Absolutely exceeded our expectations

    This is the first time our group has been to Mexico (and an all inclusive) and our time at Secrets Akumal was incredible. I could rave about literally everything - the food, the drinks, the service (shoutout to Johanna for amazing "mystery" drinks), the rooms, the ambience and the entertainment. We didn't feel the need to leave the resort at all because of everything that was offered. We will definitely return and highly recommend!
