Just got back from Secrets Akumal and I honestly have to warn people about what happened. We recently discovered the Secrets resorts brand and were SUPER excited — we thought this would become our new vacation spot for years. And the first day really felt like that. The resort was gorgeous, the food was great, the beach was beautiful, and our ocean-view balcony room was amazing.Then everything went downhill.We were approached about this “90-minute anniversary presentation” where they said we’d get a $300 spa credit just for attending. We figured sure, why not? BIG mistake. It turned into almost 3 hours of a hard, aggressive sales pitch. Multiple people kept pushing a timeshare that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. And the moment we said no, they just kept rotating in new people to try and pressure us more. They would NOT take no for an answer. It was honestly so uncomfortable.The whole thing completely ruined our vacation. We spent thousands of dollars to relax at what’s supposed to be a high-end resort — not to be trapped in some scammy sales pitch. I’m honestly disgusted that Hyatt lets this happen at their properties.We thought Secrets would be our new go-to vacation destination, but after this? Never again. We’re done with Secrets and probably with Hyatt altogether. Just wanted to warn others so you don’t fall into the same trap.
