Each building has a concierge that is able to handle bookings or notify you of upcoming activities. My concierge was very helpful and communicated with me through whatsapp. You can also use the hyatt app to find this information. The resort offered many things to do throughout the day. There is also a beautiful beach, and the resort is a short walk to the town of Akumal. Activities were endless (in the morning). There are also some activities that have a limit on participants, so you may need to reserve early such as midnight for paddleboarding, or get to them at least an hour early to have a spot. Unfortunately pools were shutdown by 7. There were multiple restaurant/food options. Drinks were everywhere! There was also drink service at the pools. Room service was included and mini fridge restocked everyday. Tipping was not expected here, but they did accept pesos / US dollars. Overall an amazing experience. If you are looking for a relaxing vacation, this is a great place to start.

We came to Secrets for our wedding anniversary. It was a very nice experience compared to the…read morepreviouse all inclusive resort. Secrets is an adults-only resort, so you wouldn't see any kids running around. We were there for a week, and it was a really nice and relaxing time. It was a really nice adult vacation where all you do is eat and drink. Also, the resort offers activities you can join, but some require advance sign-up, which you can do through the app or your building's concierge. There were a good number of restaurants that you could go to. And there was a good number of bars as well. The staff was really nice and frendly always greeting you and making sure that you are okay. One downside is that if you want to lie at the beach, you will need to get there early to get a chair. A majority of the time, we were at the quiet pool, where people would just be doing their own thing, such as reading a book, on their phone, or just taking a nap. Some people would go into the pool from time to time. But definitely more relaxing.

This review long overdue We visited this resort in March…read more2026 and it was everything we wanted! We were looking for a smaller resort, not somewhere you had to take a trolley to go everywhere, you could walk across this resort in a few min. My first thoughts upon arrival were how beautiful and tropical it felt. The view from our room was amazing! I believe all rooms have waterview? We did get to try all 4 al la carts and the meals were fantastic! We really enjoyed.. the Brazilian / steakhouse! The staff were excellent, especially Alan in customer service, he went way up and beyond! German always there to help around the pool area.. and many others whose names escape me. The music at night was just right, Raymond playing for awhile and then bands would play for an hour or 2.. done by 1030 -11 so not too late, it is not a big party place, was exactly to out liking! I would highly recommend this resort if you are looking for a great reort to relax and can't wait to return!

I visited this resort over the summer and it's ok. There are definitely a lot of highlights which…read moreinclude : a great spa- the ladies working there were great and I had a very relaxing prenatal massage, nice large pools and access to a beach area, location overall is somewhat secluded which generally makes you feel safe. Downsides were: food/drink quality - nothing I ate or drank here blew me away, including buffet or specialty restaurants, availability of daybeds are limited- if you don't wake up before 7am to snag one, they all will be occupied by either people or their belongings marking territory, limited activities if you're not into snorkeling or water stuff. They had a tequila tasting and one night claimed to have salsa lessons but that didn't happen. The rooms are ok but getting to them, you'll see lots of bugs. I guess it is the middle of the jungle but be prepared!

When vacationing you want to enjoy your time not be getting scolded by the staff. I am a native spanish speaker and was still being treated horribly. When walking to use the bathroom at the restaurant I was stopped by a man guarding the door who greeted me as "hey girl are you eating at the restaurant." I am a full grown woman. The man at the entrance tried saying something to me without even looking in my direction so I had no idea he was a addressing me. Then he processed to scold me, " hey did you not hear me!" No thank you. Also, Like many of the property owners in the area, they are illegally charging a fee to access the beach which is suppose to be public property and free with an open road access. Also, if you arrive by taxi you have to wait "under a tree" waiting for one to arrive and take you back. We waited a very long time to find one. Would never stay here but would def. Return to snorkel in the lagoon next to it.

Although the beach here is sandy, there are lots of submerged rocks, a 15 minute walk up the beach brings you to good snorkeling territory. There's a kiddy pool for little ones and a bigger pool to keep older kids entertained. You can stock your kitchen at the Super-Ched market 15 minutes up the carretera. The restaurant has limited selection, but is inexpensive and everything is good. A bottle of Pacifico with chips and guac go down pretty nicely with the ocean view in the afternoon. The small village of Akumal is a 15 minute walk north. Tasty ice cream and yummy pastries can be found at the Turtle Bay Cafe. The city of Tulum is 25 min south, were you'll find Mayan ruins, bars and restaurants and tourist kitch. Just south of Akumal is Aktun Chen a "natural park" with caves, swimming in a cenote and zip-lines. We went for a week and didn't want to leave. We hope to go back next year!

We used Amstar for our transportation to and from the Montego Bay airport, which was arranged through cheapcarribean.com. Our stay here was great. They had evening entertainment such as a magic show, several musicians (pianist/singer, cellist, violinist), 6 or 7 restaurants, pools, and lots of fun in the sun. We stayed on the luxury adults only side, but would also venture over to the family side for some of the shows as well as for the beach (beach was much better on that side). We had a relaxing vacation, met friendly staff, and can't wait to visit again.

It feels warm and curated, not sterile like some of the other resorts we've visited. And their people, like Brian (pool concierge) and Ezekiel (pool bartender) make the experience so fun, seamless, and relaxing!

I was…read morearmed and ready with my "No thank you" phrase after reading so much about Timeshare purchase pressure on both Yelp and Trip Advisor. I am pleased to report that we were not pressured into hearing a sales pitch. This set our trip off on the right foot! Check-in took about an hour, which wasn't ideal. The welcome cocktail is virgin but the bartenders will add a shot of Grey Goose for you. Lots of top shelf alcohol available at every bar/restaurant. Our group was assigned a Host (Zulema) and she was available from start to finish. The rooms are very well appointed. We booked an oceanfront room and requested Prosecco and other libations for the room. Everything was delivered ahead of our arrival. Each unit has a Jacuzzi tub on the balcony. The tub fills quickly (10-15 minutes). The bathroom is an open concept, which I don't love. Each restaurant we visited was better than the next!The waitstaff at Unico was amazing! Extremely friendly and always accommodating. We registered for a wine tasting, and this was exceptionally fun and educational (additional cost of $145 per couple). There was a fee mix-up at checkout so review your bill carefully if you participate in any extras. I especially appreciated housekeeping twice per day. Turndown service is a lost art, and I absolutely love it! You will pay a bit more to stay here than at other resorts in Riviera Maya, but you get what you pay for. My husband and I booked two nights at Hard Rock directly afterwards and the difference in quality was apparent. Unico was head and shoulders above. Each vacation experience is unique and personal. Our experience with Unico was very enjoyable!
