Thank you for helping us pick our 20th anniversary spot, we stay at Secrets Capri for our honeymoon, unfortunately they sold that location. This one looks amazing, thank you again for sharing your experience.
My husband and I are going there in December for the first time to celebrate our 25th Anniversary. We are SO excited! Do the restaurants have a dress policy? We weren't sure what all to pack. Also, will we know which places and activities are not included in the all-inclusive -- as in, what things will we have to pay for? (Ex. Restaurants, snorkeling, spa, etc.) We wanted to make sure we brought enough money. We also didn't want to break the bank.... Thanks for the video.
Hi Teresa, thanks for your comment and your support 😍 Oh wow... 25th anniversary - congratulations!!! There are a few restaurant with dress code (for example in the italian and french restaurant men need long pants), but I think I remember that at the buffet restaurant and also the 2 restaurants at the pool dress code was casual). Bring a lot of single dollar bills with you for tips. The waiters really appreciate it and we felt better treated as a result 😉 Food and drinks are all inclusive in all restaurants. If you want to have a bottle of wine for dinner you can choose from the menu, but it is payable. We stuck with the house wine which was just as delicious. You can book spa treatments and excursions by credit card or charge it on the room. Maybe some cash for snorkeling in the Akumal bay. There is also a ATM at the resort. Otherwise we wish you a great time in December 😍
Hey! Great video ! I was wondering , what age group is the most prominent in the resort, and do they have good entertainment and activities ? Since we want some relaxation but also want some fun. Is there a nightclub ? We are both in our early 20s
Hi Natasha, I would say the age group is mixed, but most are between 30 & 50. There is a night club/bar at the resort but I would say the resort is more for relaxation. There is also entertainment (more at the pool than at the beach), but they are not intrusive.
Thank you for posting! Looks like you had a great vacation! ! Do you think the preferred room worth the additional cost? The tub in the balcony looks nice 😊. We never been to all inclusive before and considering secrets akumal.
Hi Pam, thanks for your time watching the video and your support 🤩☺️ For us, the preferred room was worth it, we didn't use the jacuzzi on the balcony, but we did use the a la carte restaurant for breakfast (buffet is not really ours 😅) and we love rooms close to the beach. But everyone values different things on vacation 😉
@@inspiration2travel356 Thank you for responding :). if you don't mind sharing, how did you book the hotel (e.g., travel agent, direct, third party, etc.)?
hi thank you for an awesome video. How was the service, food and beach at secrets Akumal? Was the beach clear enough to walk in without any seaweed? What is your top 5 favorite resorts in Mexico or Caribbean based on food, room and the beach?
Hi, thanks for your time watching the video. Food was great (we used mainly the restaurants, not the buffet). Service was perfect from the moment they knew they were getting tip 😉 before the service was ok. Concerning seaweed... we travelled at the end of April, this is when the Sargassum period started. We haven't had any problems yet, so unfortunately we can't judge after that. However, Akumal is not as badly affected as Tulum. Unfortunately, we cannot answer your question about of our top 5 resorts in Mexico. This was our second time in Mexico and definitely the best all inclusive resort we ever traveled. We also loved the Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana in the Dominican Republic 😍
Hi Kevin, thanks for your time watching the video ☺️ I don‘t remember the room number, but I know it was building no 4 (booking was for a preferred club junior suite with king size bed and sea view) Hopefully that helps ☺️
Hi! We’re considering this for our honeymoon. Did you do any excursions while there? We’re wondering about the ease of transport between hotel and excursions. Also, did the restaurants require reservations? If so, how was that process? Thank you!
Hi Allison, an excellent choice for your honeymoon, we loved it there. We did a round trip with different hotels in Yucatan. However, we also did an excursion from this hotel, a tour to the Tulum and Coba Maja sites (we also have videos online of this excursion). We booked online, but you can also book through the hotel. We never needed a reservation for the restaurants, but we were always early in the restaurant (around 6:30 p.m.). Guests who arrived at 7:30 p.m. sometimes had to wait (depending on the restaurant).
Hi, we had not 1 rainy day in April, but end of April the sargassum season starts, so I would recommend travelling at the begin of the month and not at the end of April ☺️
I hope you mind my input.. but it is sargassum season... between May and October. I recently came back from D.R. it was overwhelming. I'm planning to maybe go here in December or January. Looks beautiful
Thanks for your comment :) We stayed at the end of April and realized it was the beginning of that time, but we were lucky and it was just a bit sargassum. The beach was just a dream and the staff tried very hard.
One of the best videos I've seen of this place, very well curated 👍🏾
Thank you so much for your time & support 🤩
Have you both tried Secrets Aura.. I'm trying to see which one I'd prefer for my next trip
@@michaelw6193 this was our first secrets resort experience ☺️
We just left here the service is beyond amazing

Great vid, thanks for sharing? How was the seaweed?
Thanks for your time watching our video :)
We travelled last year end of March, seaweed was not so bad... at least not around the resort.
Thank you for sharing. Is it all inclusive
Thanks for your support 🤩 yes it‘s all inclusive

We stayed in 3 hotels on our Yucatan tour and booked all over Booking.com

Your video was very well done. Thank you. Question: Did you tip in pesos or U$ Dollars?
Thank you for watching the video 🤩 we used U$ dollars ☺️
Who would you recommend for the Transfer company from the airport?
Hi, thanks for your comment :) We just took a cab at the airport.
Great video. We are heading there in Sept. Do you by chance remember this room number? We booked the same package.
Hi Kevin, thanks for your time watching the video ☺️ I don‘t remember the room number, but I know it was building no 4 (booking was for a preferred club junior suite with king size bed and sea view)
Hopefully that helps ☺️
This video is incredible! Goofy question, I know, but do you know if you are able to buy, or use, e-cigarettes in the resort?
thanks for your comment & support 🤩🤩🤩 sorry but we don‘t know about that 😔
That’s great to hear, honestly. It’s a nasty habit 😂
Nice video...vip worth it??
For us yes because of the rooms close to the sea and the a la carte breakfast & lunch. We don‘t really like buffet restaurants 😉
How was the towel game there? Were the chairs by pool/ on the beach mostly occupied? We'll be there in 2 weeks.
It was the worst at the infinity pool, not so bad at the beach and at the other pools 😉

What are your favorite restaurants at the resort? Thanks!!
Thanks for watching the video 🤩🤩🤩 we loved Oceana & Seaside grill 😍😋
Is April a good month to go to Mexico or is it rainy?
Hi, we had not 1 rainy day in April, but end of April the sargassum season starts, so I would recommend travelling at the begin of the month and not at the end of April ☺️
is there a dress code for men in the restaurants
Hi, yes there is in the most restaurants in the evening.
What time of year was this filmed? Worried about seaweed.
We stayed there at the end of April
I hope you mind my input.. but it is sargassum season... between May and October. I recently came back from D.R. it was overwhelming. I'm planning to maybe go here in December or January. Looks beautiful
