#Secrets resorts akumal upgrade#

I noticed while walking around the resort that due to construction there were a number of small pools of stagnant water, and this could be where they are originating from. I asked a staff member and they said the mosquitos were especially problematic for the swim-out suites but not for upper level rooms. Probably the only thing I did not like about my room (and the entire resort) were the mosquitos in the guest room’s entryway–they are prolific just in this area. However, there is no direct access from the swim-outs to any of the main pools, nor are there any built-in tiled beds.įor those of you who care about the possibility of afternoon sun on your terrace or balcony, be sure to request odd-numbered guest room buildings. (I made a video about my guest room, just follow this link). All pools at this resort are heated, including all swim-out pools. Entering and exiting the swim-out pool was easy with its double sets of stairs, while the water was very warm despite the season. I loved my Swim-Out Suite it was beautifully appointed with double vessel sinks, Jacuzzi tub, king bed, sitting room, and terrace daybed along with a small table and chair. I did not receive check-in at the Preferred Club, but I assume this will become standard practice for Preferred Club guests once the resort becomes fully operational.

This upgrade gave me closer beach access, free guest room WiFi, a larger terrace with daybed, access to the newly opened Preferred Club Lounge which was a stones-throw away at the end of building #4, access to a limited breakfast menu at Seaside Grill, pillow menu, three small in-room liquor bottles of Jack D, white Bacardi rum, Finlandia vodka, a small can of Pringles, a package of peanut M&M’s and a Snickers bar these items along with a fully-stocked mini-bar were replaced on a daily basis. Suite Swim-Out, I was given a complimentary upgrade to the Preferred Club section in building #6 (buildings #1 through #6 are Preferred Club with buildings #1 and #2 being oceanfront).

Although not quite ready for total occupation, the resort is still quite beautiful with little disruption to its general flow and serenity.Īlthough I had originally booked a Jr. Lots of construction was still going on in guest room building #9 and beyond which supposedly will contain convention center meeting rooms and facilities. According to the information that I currently have, the spa is scheduled to open Dec. 15 while the theater is supposed to open for performances around the same time there was no definitive opening date for the tennis courts. As a result, I have no pictures of and cannot comment on the spa, theater, or tennis courts since they were still under construction. 3, and during that time frame not all resort amenities had been opened for public use.
