A five-star escape with a very lively twist on the Yucatan Peninsula
juergd (Munich, Germany) on Feb 01, 2025
Preliminary remark: For a review of my stay kindly watch my comprehensive video review on my YouTube Channel Truly Excellent Hotels & More (link can be found in my profile) & don't forget to subscribe for further reviews of Truly Excellent Hotels & More around the globe. Nestled on the picturesque Yucatan Peninsula in Akumal, Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya is a secluded five-star retreat, just a 1-hour and 15-minute drive from Cancun International Airport. As part of the Hyatt Inclusive Collection, this adults-only resort offers an all-inclusive “Unlimited-Luxury” experience and received the AAA Five Diamond Award in 2023. The resort boasts 434 suites with views of lush tropical gardens or the Caribbean Sea. I stayed in a Junior Suite Ocean View King, featuring a king-size bed, flat-screen TV, sitting area, large desk, closet, and a furnished private terrace with an outdoor Jacuzzi tub. The bathroom included a hot tub for two, a separate rain shower, double vanities, and luxurious Le Labo toiletries. The view from our suite, while labeled as sea view, was dominated by the expansive tropical gardens and one of the main pools. Daily housekeeping and turndown service with complimentary chocolates and water, WiFi, a stocked minibar, and a Nespresso machine enhanced my stay. Breakfast at the Market Café offered an extensive buffet with freshly prepared Danish pastries, croissants, an assortment of breads, a variety of fruits and juices, cold cuts, cheeses, sashimi, smoked fish, vegetables, cereals, yogurts, and Mexican breakfast dishes. Hot breakfast dishes prepared at cooking stations included egg dishes, sausages, steaks, pancakes, and waffles with various toppings. The service was warm and attentive, with ample indoor and outdoor seating providing views of the tropical gardens. The resort features 12 pools, including an expansive infinity pool and several smaller, more intimate pools scattered throughout. The beach area, part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, is perfect for a jog or a quiet morning stroll at sunrise and offers excellent snorkeling and diving opportunities. Preferred Club guests enjoy exclusive access to a dedicated beach area with enhanced sun loungers and cabanas available for rent. Dining options include nine restaurants and two bars. The Oceania Restaurant offers fresh seafood dishes like coconut-breaded shrimp with curry mango sauce and an exquisite seafood platter, with exceptionally friendly and attentive service. The Bordeaux Restaurant provides an elegant French dining experience with à la carte cuisine in a romantic, Moulin Rouge-inspired atmosphere. The Portofino Restaurant serves exquisite Italian cuisine in an elegant setting, complemented by live piano music and friendly service. The Seaside Grill, located adjacent to the main pool, offers à la carte grilled specialties but was somewhat mediocre compared to other offerings. The Himitsu Restaurant, while providing a Japanese dining experience, fell short in culinary execution and service. The Desires nightclub features a live DJ, an expansive dance floor, and an outdoor area with a cozy fire pit, offering a vibrant entertainment experience. The resort's nightlife is vibrant, with numerous evening events, guest activities, and corporate functions. However, those seeking tranquility may find the energetic atmosphere overwhelming. The Secrets Spa offers a luxurious retreat with rejuvenating body and facial treatments, hydrotherapy, relaxing massages, and pampering salons. The fitness center, tennis courts, and a compact office center enhance the resort's amenities. Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya is also a sought-after wedding destination, with its opulent atmosphere, breathtaking oceanfront setting, and extensive wedding packages. In summary, Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya combines Caribbean elegance with lively entertainment, featuring impeccably maintained tropical gardens, friendly service, and solid culinary offerings. It is ideal for guests looking for a dynamic vacation experience.
Honeymoon in Paradise
EleanorH435886 on Jan 31, 2025
We’ve just returned from an 11 night honeymoon at Secrets Akumal. We were made to feel so special and looked after incredibly well the whole time, nothing was too much trouble and the service throughout the resort was outstanding. Our concierge Billie was brilliant, she WhatsApp’d us everyday with a schedule of the days events and was able to help with every request we had. It’s a huge, but very well kept resort, with lots of greenery and wildlife. We did get lost most days as the signage isn’t great but staff were always on hand to guide us. There are 3 large pools, we sat round the main pool most days as that’s where all the activities, music and food were. Never had trouble getting a sun bed and it didn’t feel overcrowded. A special mention and thank you to Ruben and Antonio who looked after us exceptionally well. The pool activities were brilliant, something different every day and the energy and friendliness of the entertainment team were the best we’ve ever come across. The beach is great, well kept and beautiful. We snorkelled with the Turtles and did paddle boarding which was so much fun. We visited all the restaurants except Oceana (fish restaurant) and this is the only negative we have about our experience. We’ve stayed at 2 other 5 star resorts (TRS Yucatan and The Royalton Suites) and found this to be the worst for the standard of food. Unfortunately my husband had food poisoning from eating Mussels at the French restaurant and I was also unwell after eating a burger at the Steakhouse. This put us off eating meat and fish for the duration of our stay which left us with limited options. We did notify the hotel who looked after us very well and checked in on us throughout our stay though. We didn’t hear of anyone else being unwell so we might have just been unlucky and it may not have been the hotels fault, but obviously it impacted our experience. We found that Himitsu (Japanese) was the best restaurant for the food. The presentation and taste of the food as well as the extensive choice on the menu was noticeably better than any of the others. The Teppanyaki table was also a nice experience and something a bit different. The evening entertainment was both good and disappointing for different reasons. We found the shows to be on the whole quite impressive, but on too early for an adults only hotel (8pm) and they only lasted 45mins to an hour. After that there was very little to do other than sit and drink, and as we’re not big drinkers this didn’t suit us, especially as there was no music in the lobby terrace bar. The nightclub opened at 10.30 which we went to once, but couldn’t have done this every night as it meant hanging around for an hour and a half for it to open! We found ourselves going back to the room at 9pm most nights. The spa was very nice, although overpriced. A 50 minute full body massage was $235 and that was the cheapest massage on offer. I only went because we received a $100 voucher towards it, which made the price more reasonable. I’ve had countless massages over the years and as much as it was nice, it wasn’t worth $235. Also, there was an extra charge of $25 for a scented essential oil which was sprung on me once I was in the treatment room. I had the option to decline, which I did, but this meant they only used a standard natural oil with no scent, a bit disappointing considering the price. We booked a preferred club room which in my opinion isn’t worth the extra money. You get a slightly different check in experience, access to a Greek restaurant and a private area inside for relaxing and drinking. The service was exceptional but I wouldn’t know if we were treated any better throughout the resort because we were in PC or if that was the standard for everyone. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, mainly because of the service and the grounds. We probably wouldn’t return but that doesn’t mean we wouldn’t recommend this to anyone looking for a luxurious holiday celebrating a special occasion.
