Hey Debby. Thanks for the comment. This is a great resort for anyone with mobility issues.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hey. Thanks for watching. I hope you plan a great trip.

Thanks for watching and I appreciate the kind comment.

Thank you for watching. I appreciate that Star.

For your 1st all-inclusive, I think you picked a great place. I know you will love it. The steak house is very good. Free entertainment every night. All you can drink and sun. Shoot me a comment after and let me know what you think. Makeithappenwithdon@gmail.com

@@MakeItHappenWithDon Thanks for the fast response I highly appreciate you and yes I will be glad to leave you a feed back after trip

I dont think they have more free wine than other resorts. I have been to Maroma and would choose Maroma over The Vine. It depends on what you like. The Vine is a high rise hotel. Very compact. And Maroma is more spread out with many pools and beautiful grounds. As far as the free activities, they have what all the other all inclusive resorts offer. I think Sandals is the only one that offers more activities, but it's very expensive. Go hope this helps.

You are welcome. Great resort. 2 thumbs 👍 👍 up.

Congratulations. You will love Secrets. All cocktails are included. You can get just about any drink you desire. If you bring your own cup like a Yeti, they will even fill that up for you. The only money you need is for tips. Thanks for watching.

Yes

You are welcome. Thanks for watching.

Congratulations 🎊 You will love this place. We did not do any excursions. If you want to do excursions, I would book them at the resort. NOT THE AIRPORT. Keep your head down and walk outside to your transfer. The excursion sales people at the Airport will hassle you. Lol. Enjoy your honeymoon and thanks for watching our video.

We LOVE Secrets resorts and The Vine didn't disappoint. Thank you for watching and I appreciate the comment.

You are welcome. I enjoy making these videos and hope to do lots more in 2022. Thanks for watching.

I believe we went June 16th. I'm so happy that my video was helpful to you. I hope you have a great trip wherever you decide to go.

As far as tipping, we would tip our servers at meals and bar tenders. The difference is that you don't need to tip a percentage. Just a couple bucks. I was told once that if you leave the tip on the table, they all split it. If you put it in their hand, it's theirs to keep. If we had an exceptional server, we would tip directly to them. As far as housekeeping , sometimes we would take travel size bath and bodyworks products that we get on clearance. We will leave them to housekeeping and they seem to love it. As far as reservations, we never needed them at restaurants. Just show up. You would need a spa reservation, but we always waited till we were there, as they would come around the pool and offer special deals. You don't need a car. You can schedule excursions which will provide transportation. Or get a bus, ect...

Great questions! I was wondering about the same things. A group of us will be there this month too. I hope you have a great vacation.

The other resorts were brand new and more spread out. We like the high rise look for Vegas, but when we go to the beach, we like the more spread out resorts with meandering pools. Remember that it is all inclusive, so when we go to eat, we order many different entrées so we can try more items. Also, if you bring your own Yeti style cup, they will be happy to fill it w your favorite beverage. 😉

Thanks for watching.

You are correct. Thanks for watching:)

When you get into the elevator and want to go to the blue water grill or the infinity pool… You push button “12”

The food at Secrets is pretty darn good. Now, it's not Las Vegas food. Which is amazing. As far as the bars closing at 11, I'm not sure. We are usually back to the room after the shows.

Thanks for the comment. The sargassum wasn't awful when we were there but that was 1 year ago. That seems to change with weather. I would recommend going on TripAdvisor. Read the current comments and Q&A section. They usually ya'll about the seaweed.

Yes. They have different shows every night and always love music.

The Vine is like a high rise hotel. The other ones are spread out with lots of different pools and different areas. At secrets akumal you can swim with sea turtles.

The bathrooms are impressive. Thanks for watching.

When we went 6 months ago they did not ask for a card. I don't think any of the resorts ask to see a card. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching my video. I am sorry, but we did not eat at the seafood restaurant, but judging by the food at the other restaurants, I would bet that the seafood is amazing.

@@MakeItHappenWithDon they really don't have a seafood restaurant. You order seafood at the restaurant. We were disappointed that their was hardly any seafood!

Sandra Cain - When I stayed the best spot for seafood was the beachside bar/restaurant. It was almost all that was served - from ceviche, oysters, etc. You’ll have to hit that spot on your next visit. :)

We were there June 16th till the 23rd. Our room number was 1603. There is a room review video that I did if you are interested in seeing the room. Thanks for watching.

@@MakeItHappenWithDon thanks ! Oh sure I will love to watch that video too. 👍

Hey. Thanks for watching. This resort is all-inclusive. You will only need cash for tips and souvenirs. If you wanna buy a nice bottle of wine, there may be an extra charge. Bring some singles to to your servers. Let me know about your trip when you return. I'm sure you will love it.

@@MakeItHappenWithDon Hey thank you for responding and okay perfect then. I can’t wait to go, the resort seems amazing, thank you for this amazing video as well again! One last question, I wouldn’t need to exchange USD for pesos since everything is all-inclusive correct? Thank you again

Ok. You do not need to exchange your US dollars. Also, if you need change for tips, they will make change for you at the main desk. You are in for a great trip, and if you have never done all-inclusive before, you will be hooked. The best way to vacation.

@@MakeItHappenWithDon thank you so much I appreciate it! I can’t wait to go and see

We have never been to breathless. I heard that it is more of a party place. Everyone that I've talked to says that it is very nice.

We always book through Apple vacations. When we do, we pay the 1 price. There has never been extra "hidden" fees added. Only extras would be spa treatments, day trips, or souvenirs. Hope you have a great trip.

We have never been required to wear a wristband at any secrets resort. In not sure a to how strict they are about guests coming in. 🤔

The DJI OM 5 is $160 ish and worth it.

Thanks Jacob. I agree. After I edited this video, I infact did purchase a gimbal because I saw how shaky it was. My videos will be better going forward.

We book through apple vacations and transportation is included. Check with who you book it through. If it's not included, check out Canada transfers. We used them once and they were very reasonable.

@@MakeItHappenWithDon thank you!

Heck, no. No specific restaurant. It's amazing. Food food food. 24 hours a day. Amazing breakfast buffet plus a sit down breakfast. Lunch buffet, lunch sit down restaurant, plus poolside grilled feast daily. 6 restaurants for dinner. Order as much as you want. 24 hour coffee shop w pastries and sandwiches. A sports bar with burgers, wings, etc... oh ya and 24 hour room service. All inclusive means what it says. Eat what you want. Whenever you want. As much as you want. Pay for nothing. Just need money for tips. They will have special bottles of wine for an additional fee, but all alcohol is also included. Top shelf liquors too. You will love it.

@@MakeItHappenWithDon Oh wow, this sounds really exciting! Thank you so much!

Let me know how you liked it after your trip please.

I would have to say Maroma or Akumal. Both amazing. They opened a new one but I have not been there. Moxche in Playa Del Carmen.

@@MakeItHappenWithDon Thanks Don!

Thanks for watching. They have representatives in the lobby to help you book excursions or tours. As far as kayaks, or water sports at the beach area, I think they do have them at a desk by the poolside restaurant Sea salt. I didn't see any out when we were there, but the water was extremely rough. Red flag the whole time.

No they don't!

Its a tie. We loved Secrets Akumal. You can swim with sea turtles there right off the beach. And Secrets Cap Cana in Punta Cana was AMAZING.

Great place

We got 5 nights all-inclusive for $2,700.00. Thanks for watching

@@MakeItHappenWithDon wow I feel pretty good then going with $2300 for 5 nights travel included. Great video

Hey quick question, I’m going in two weeks for 4 nights. What is an estimate you believe I should bring in usd cash? I booked excursions and everything already so I believe only expenses will be food , drinks and etc

It's all-included. You don't need any money except for tips and souvenirs.

Hmmmm. We did not get preferred club. It does give you access to the rooftop pool. I guess you should decide if it is in the budget or not. I don't think you will miss out if you do not get preferred club at this Secrets Resort.

Don't do it! It is a rip-off!!! You really don't get any special perks. We paid $2500.00 for 10 nights....don't do it! Live and learn.

I don't get comp'd in Mexico
