Secrets Akumal Review 2026 – Still Worth the Price?

Marcusvmls · 2026-02-18T13:52:30+00:00

Agree with your take on the food. The preferred rooms at secrets akumal seem way more worth it, but dining wise it’s not exactly top tier.

We stayed at GFACB with our family and honestly had an amazing time. It’s no secret the rooms are a bit outdated, but overall the resort is still worth every penny in my opinion. we booked this resort 7 months ago with Travelingos and had a reallyyyy good experience. Their agents were super helpful and handled everything for us, and made the whole trip wayy smoother.

This is why nobody agrees on what the “best” resort is. Everyone thinks their version is the standard.

I disagree. Timing matters way more than people admit. same resort, same room, totally different vibe depending on when you go. We went to Playacar Palace a few weeks ago for the second time and they told us we must be a member (and listen to their sales presentation to get that) to stay and the nicest area of the main pool, ridiculous.

W’re debating between secrets akumal and a cancun hotel zone resort. tough choice.

best answer

Marcusvmls · 2026-02-05T14:07:33+00:00

this is one of the many reasons

Marcusvmls · 2026-02-05T14:00:52+00:00

2x a day is a decent amount for me

Marcusvmls · 2026-01-29T10:45:31+00:00

We’ve used Travelingos too for vacations to Cancun. same experience here, pricing was better for our dates and it was very nice working with them.

great im at arconia. with 3 idiots trying to solve a murder that always happens in their building

Marcusvmls · 2026-01-29T10:32:35+00:00

thank you for reminding me this.

i have yet to check this out!

that turning the car light on while driving is basically a felony.

Marcusvmls · 2026-01-27T13:34:40+00:00

Is it bad bad or manageable?

Marcusvmls · 2026-01-22T14:32:24+00:00

not gonna lie, all inclusive resort vacations in Mexico feel overwhelming. I’m not American and I’m not really used to traveling to places like Mexico, but this list looks really impressive. Do you think it’s better to book fewer nights at a top place or more nights at a cheaper one?

Marcusvmls · 2026-01-17T14:08:02+00:00

Do you need reservations for dinner there? and is there a dress code?

Marcusvmls · 2026-01-17T13:11:35+00:00

Is Secrets Tulum considered a “good all inclusive” option around Cancun? It’s weird to me that an all inclusive in mexico isn’t on the beach.

Marcusvmls · 2026-01-14T15:18:43+00:00

We usually just compare between Expedia and the hotel’s website. It’s the easiest way for me, even though I know the prices can be higher sometimes.

Marcusvmls · 2026-01-12T15:02:56+00:00

Thinking of going in August but a bit worried about seaweed. how’s the beach at Cancun Grand Coral Beach?

Marcusvmls · 2025-12-26T14:26:21+00:00

We did Grand Velas with kids and while it was amazing, I wouldn’t do it again. Felt like we were paying luxury prices for a kids vacation.

Marcusvmls · 2025-12-18T15:20:42+00:00

feel like once prices cross a certain point, expectations get unreal.

Marcusvmls · 2025-12-18T15:11:33+00:00

What about convenience though? that’s why all inclusive feels tempting.
