We are headed to Secrets Akumal in February and I just found your videos! Thank you so much for taking the time to put these together. I am so excited to experience this resort! I do have a quick question if you are still following questions on these videos: How do you get all of your liquids to Mexico in a carry on only?? Sunscreen, aloe, makeup, etc. How do you do it? I would love to not check a bag but I'm nervous!

@MemoriesandMojitosTravel 10 ай бұрын

I buy 3oz items and I don’t limit how much I take. I’ve been taking as many liquids as I need (as long as it’s under 3.4oz) for over ten years. If I need 3 bags of liquids that’s how much I take, but normally it’s two bags for my husband and I. I use “hard” plastic bags from Amazon not ziploc bags. They are linked in my Amazon storefront 😊

We stayed at Secrets Akumal April 2018 and our hugest con was the "towel game". It was IMPOSSIBLE to get a spot around the main pool no matter how early you went ! The drink service at the beach was great ! Can't speak about drink service around the pool since we could NEVER get a spot

@MemoriesandMojitosTravel 2 жыл бұрын

We didn't see that issue (anymore than normal I guess). I know some resorts are good about removing belongings after an hour or two (which is how it should be), perhaps they have a pool concierge keeping a closer eye now. I also get up before the sun, so I do get first dibs. Beach service was fantastic!

@@MemoriesandMojitosTravel The funny thing is the 2 most expensive resorts we have ever visited (Secrets Akumal,Excellence Mujeres) had the worst towel games while the Hard Rock Vallarta, Hard Rock riviera Maya and any of the RIU resorts had very little towel game. My experience has been the resorts that use the “towel card” system always seem to have more loungers available.

We are considering a vacation in September to either Secrets Moxche or Secrets Akumal. Can you compare the pros and cons as compared to both? We are going for a 50th birthday and going with other couples and family members.

@jenweil9148 2 жыл бұрын

This might be an odd question, but could you share about reserving pool/beach loungers and if you would recommend a backpack or some sort of beach tote for bringing your items to these areas? Curious what is the best option to do that sort of thing! Thanks so much for sharing, looking forward to visiting!

@MemoriesandMojitosTravel 2 жыл бұрын

I definitely recommend a beach bag! You’ll have more stuff to carry than you probably think. People save with sunscreen, cups, books, etc. I don’t save a seat unless I’ll be sitting in it soon. So I’ll put my stuff down, go get breakfast, and then have my butt in the chair within an hour 🙂

@@MemoriesandMojitosTravel Sounds like a good ettiquette tip! So you'd say it's safe to leave non-valuables unattended for about that amount of time? Thanks again...

I’ve had sunscreen go missing from my chair before (at a variety of places). For the most part things are safe. But I’d never leave anything of value.

This is a hard one! It kinda depends where I am, because some resorts have better mixers than others. You’ll see I like sweet drinks: 1. Strawberry mojito 2. Mango margarita 3. Mango tango 4. Miami vice 5. Rum punch

Hi Brittany, My husband and I are looking to return Mexico this coming January. We typically stay on the Pacific side of Mexico (Huatulco, Punta Mita, Puerto Vallarta), but are planning to stay of the gulf side for this trip. We were not fans of the Riu Palace Peninsula or the hotel zone near Cancun. I know you've stayed at several of the hotels that I am interested in for our upcoming visit. Would you be willing to rank Secrets Akumal, Secrets Moxche and Atelier Playa Mujeres for me (1st, 2nd, 3rd)? Are they comparable at all? I've watched all of your videos on these resorts, but am having trouble deciding since they all look great. Thanks for any support you might be able to offer.

@MemoriesandMojitosTravel 10 ай бұрын

Hi Kristie! I’d connect with your travel agent to see what they think is the best option for you. I can rank them for what I like, but that has no bearing on how YOU like to vacation. I like them all for different reasons. Atelier is my current number one. If you don’t have a travel agent and would like to book with me you can fill out a quote request form and we can chat. Best of luck 😊

@kristierahm3396 10 ай бұрын

Thank you! I appreciate your quick and honest feedback. Over time, I’ve started to research and book on my own due to some issues that I’ve had with my travel agent in the past (I’ll spare you the details). I really respect and trust your opinion and would be interested in potentially booking with you in the future. For this trip, however, I have a credit available through Apple Vacations as a result of a cancellation that I made previously. Cheers!

@MemoriesandMojitosTravel 10 ай бұрын

@kristierahm3396 you’re welcome! For the future, any travel agent can apply the Apple Vacations credit. Just tell them about it from the beginning so they’re sure to book you with Apple.
