Unforgettable stay at Secrets Akumal
miaa475 on Jan 04, 2026
Secrets Akumal truly exceeded all expectations, but what made this stay exceptional was the entertainment team. They are the heart of the resort and kept every day fun, energetic, and engaging. A huge special mention to Alan, who took the fitness classes to a whole new level. His energy, motivation, and positivity made every session something to look forward to. Whether it was morning stretch, water aerobics, beach volleyball, pool volleyball, crazy games, dance lessons, even bingo, or the many other activities, there was always something happening and it never felt repetitive or forced — just genuinely fun. Also a big thank you to Liz, Brandon, Max, and Andres- each of them brought their own personality, enthusiasm, and professionalism, making the activities inclusive and enjoyable for everyone. Thanks to this team, I stayed active, laughed constantly, and was never bored for a moment. The breakfast is outstanding, easily some of the best quality food I’ve had anywhere in the world. The variety, freshness, and presentation were incredible and set the tone for the day. Restaurants, second to none. I’d recommend booking the Japanese restaurant on arrival- this is not to be missed. Also loved the 24hr room service and the coffee shop!! The events each night were outstanding too. The poolside service is impeccable. You never have an empty glass- staff are attentive, friendly, and always happy to help, making it effortless to relax and enjoy the day. Miguel and Manuel make the best margaritas and hangover mocktails too!! From start to finish, Secrets Akumal delivers luxury, fun, and exceptional service. I can’t recommend this resort highly enough and will absolutely be returning.
Nice, but not as serene as I’d hoped
WarrenK106 (Toronto, Canada) on Jan 03, 2026
The good: • The staff are wonderful. The dedicated concierges are especially incredible — thank you, Leidy and Jose! • The food is quite good overall, and the restaurants actually feel like lovely and proper restaurants, not just large rooms. • Plenty of pool options: lively pools and a genuinely quiet pool. • Everything was easy, smooth, and very accommodating throughout my stay. • The spa is probably the nicest I’ve seen at an all-inclusive resort — truly impressive. • A very pretty resort The not-so-good: • The resort was rowdier and busier than I expected. It’s not a foam party scene, but it also isn’t the serene couples’ retreat it’s often marketed as, which was disappointing. • The timeshare pitch at check-in was a low point. It was disguised as something else, intentionally confusing, and frankly felt sneaky. Even worse, the actual presentations happen in the main buffet, so you’re eating breakfast while watching tables around you get pitched. It really breaks the relaxing atmosphere. • Vendors on the beach were persistent. Not aggressive, but they didn’t leave guests alone for long. I understand it’s a public beach, but it still affected the experience enough that I mostly avoided the beach. • It truly is confusing to find your way around. Not sure why this isn’t addressed with better signage. Seems like an easy fix. • Lighting outside the rooms at night is laughably dim. Quite dark and potentially unsafe. • The ‘famous’ poolside pizza… meh. Wasn’t great. Inconsistent. So-so. Overall: A very good resort with lots to like, but I probably wouldn’t return. There are other places I’d rather explore, and nothing here was compelling enough to draw me back personally.
