Amenities at Secrets Akumal

Secrets Akumal is one of the most exclusive hotels in the area. Most likely, here you won’t find a room for less than USD $500, though they have good deals at times. They also offer different packages. The one called Unlimited-Luxury is all-inclusive and gives you access to its wide variety of restaurants and bars of all kinds and tastes.

Speaking of a wide variety, there are also many pools in Secrets Akumal—over 10 pools in this place, and they’re very well designed. The most central ones are gigantic with rounded corners that give it nooks and crannies that guarantee you a comfortable space even in high season.

Among the many other things Secrets Akumal has to provide its guests with their dream stay are a gym, golf course, events with live music, cooking, Latin American dancing, and much more.

The beach

Of course, Akumal is most famous for its turtles. Normally, you’d have to go to Akumal Beach and pay for a guided tour to see them in their natural habitat, but, at Secrets Akumal, you can have that same experience by yourself. The hotel has snorkels and diver’s masks available for its guests, who can then go swim in the sea, looking for a sea turtle or two. They only ask you to be responsible, and not bother the animals.
