All three are owned by the same entity, and actually have a lot of visual similarities.  We've been To Maraoma Beach Several times, Akumal twice and Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres once.  We love 'em all!  But .... we do lean towards Akumal a lil ....  but next on our list to travet to is Akumal , with PBCM the following month!  A lot of the below is a compilation via various sources on the 'net. 🧭 Secrets Resorts Compared: Akumal vs Maroma Beach vs Playa Blanca All three are adults-only, all-inclusive luxury resorts, but they deliver very different experiences depending on what you value most. 🌿 Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya Best for Nature, Snorkeling & Relaxed Romance ✅ Pros Snorkeling with sea turtles directly off the beach Lush, jungle-style grounds create a romantic, immersive atmosphere Calm, laid-back vibe — great for couples who want to unplug Strong food and service consistency Easy access to cenotes, Akumal town, and Tulum ❌ Cons Bea...

 Our second time over the last few years.   This has been on my nephew's bucket list for many moons and to celebrate his 50th, four of us flew in to enjoy the Keys! Lucy and I jumped on a plane out of DFW for a direct flight, Pablo and Beth a day apart and flying in each with one stop.  Once on the ground, we Lucy and I grabbed a cab and less than 15 minutes later were at our Resort which we got via Airbnb. Turns out to be a great location on the water with two heated pools and just a quick jaunt from downtown.  Hour later Pablo cabs it over and we're ubering towards Duval to kick it up a lil.  Find some grub, pop into a few joints, grab some bottles to take home and we've got the first night in the books.

 Christmas 2025.   Found a good deal and headed South of the Border yet again!  We've been to Secrets Maroma Beach and Secrets Akumal several times each and this one, is the sister resort ..... all three of them are similar and have the same owner.  We'd heard good things about this one and had to give it a try.   Flew into Cancun from DFW and grabbed a Private van via a reservation I'd made through one of my club memberships.  Delayed us about 25 minutes more than necessary so lesson learned in there (last time using them!).   After about 50 minutes through traffic and  construction, we're pulling up to the resort.  Until recently, we've always gone south of Cancun so this is a lil different for us seeing different resorts and areas new to us. Once we pull in, they  have our names, whisk us away into the preferred club and we're immediately checked in.  I got a low cost King Suite, but with our UVC membership we have...
