I like how Kevin gets you your cawfee in the morning! Stayed here in May '23 partly based on your vids. Had the best time! Keep up the good work, hope you get to Secrets Playa Blanca soon!
I was waiting for this. I love your videos and I know it might sound crazy but I’m trying to find something for next week, I think this might be it😄😄 of course if I can find availability.
I love your videos. It gives you a better feel for the resort than most “walk through” videos. What do you recommend as far as when to arrive to the airport in Cancun going home? I have heard between 2-3 hours. Looking forward to your next video!❤
I was wondering if you have ever been to Haven Riviera Cancun? We cannot find too much information on it, and it looks really amazing! Curious if it's on your radar of resorts to visit?
I was actually booked there a few years ago, and cancelled due to very bad reviews from colleagues. It’s super hit or miss. I may go to check it out for myself next year. The rooms and pool are very nice. Beach not so much. Service is iffy.
@@MemoriesandMojitosTravel That is what I am finding on tripadvisor. Hit or miss reviews on service and food, but the pools are great. Thank you for letting me know, we will likely keep searching. Secrets Akumal this November, and still searching for a good March break contender.
I highly suggest you don't!! We made the massive mistake of going there when our normal resort Excellence Riviera Cancun was fully booked. Haven was the worst resort I've stepped foot on in my life.
I can't believe you are drinking tequila, let alone without a sugary mixer 🤣....glad to hear you booked your Christmas/10 year anniversary, we booked it there too 🇺🇸😎😁.....KW here we come!
Thank you! I get all my rafts at 5 below. If you don’t have that store they also sell the same one at Walmart, Target and Amazon (they just cost more!) Have fun ☀️
I love your videos, I am going with my husband for our 33 wedding anniversary the July 26, 2022 for one week. I was very confuse between the choice of the hotel, I almost book at the Valentin Imperial Rivera Maya and I change for the Secrets! We never been to a Secrets before and with your videos, I am very please with my choice, thank you so much! By the way, you are both very sweet and nice heart people ! It's nice to see people young like you giving so much to the others ! Merci beaucoup from Québec ! xx PS with your great experience do you think the hotel do something special for the wedding anniversary?? and thanks again you are doing a great job with your videos.
@@MemoriesandMojitosTravel We are currently trying to decide between Valentin and Secrets, if snorkeling and water activities were what we were looking for first which would you choose?
Hello! When you stopped at Yal Ku on the bike tour, did you have to pay to enter? We are definitely planning on doing the bike tour when we go and want to be prepared. Thank you!
Hi there! Love your videos! If we wanted to book with you as a travel agent do you any requirements where you have to spend a certain amount? I’ve talked to one travel agent who didn’t want to work with us as he said his minimum amount you had to spend was a little over $5,000. We’ve been to Mexico before looking to go back never used a travel agent but thought it would be a lot more helpful as I’m having a hard time finding which resort. Thanks! ☺️
Hi Casey, Thank you! I do not have a minimum spend, however I don’t book super budget focused resorts (because I want my clients to be happy). Please submit a quote request if you’re interested in working together and I’ll get you somewhere great 🙂 memoriesandmojitos.com/quote-request/
@@MemoriesandMojitosTravel Is it necessary to call and book the bike tour/Asian restaurant Tepanyaki before arrival? Or just book with host when checking in? We are going to Akumal in June and also first time to Mexico.
They are like night and day! Size, price, aesthetic, entertainment, etc. I like them both, but they are so different! If you plan to visit both eventually, I’d start with Aura since it’s the oldest
If your budget allows, I’d do it without hesitation. However I’d happily go back to Majestic for the 3rd time, so if you’d rather save the $500 and get a massage, I support that!
1. the crepe station! OMG
2. adding the bike tour to my list
3. I really liked your dress
Thank you! The nutella crepes are always my favorite :)
I have to say secrets akumal looks like your best resort yet
We loved secrets Akumal! Thinking about secrets cap Cana for may/June 2023 but very nervous about the sea weed.
If you are worried about seaweed for upcoming travels, book your vacation not in prime time seaweed seasons...
You guys look like you're having so much fun!
the resort looks amazing, can't wait to see the rest
Love the video! I really liked the idea of the pirate show! Looks fun!
Thank you!

Does Kevin sound like he’s from Boston?!
@@MemoriesandMojitosTravel He does, at times!
I never knew leaving things behind for house keeping was a thing! That's a wonderful idea thankyou.
I talk more about it in the day 5 video 🙂
I was waiting for this. I love your videos and I know it might sound crazy but I’m trying to find something for next week, I think this might be it😄😄 of course if I can find availability.
Yikes! You better pick something quick. Inventory is low across the board 😊
@@MemoriesandMojitosTravel yes, I noticed that. Wish me luck 🙃
We are going on 25Apr2022. So excited!
I love your videos. It gives you a better feel for the resort than most “walk through” videos. What do you recommend as far as when to arrive to the airport in Cancun going home? I have heard between 2-3 hours. Looking forward to your next video!❤
Thank you! 3 hours for sure. Your shuttle company will tell you when they’ll pick you up, based on your flight time 🙂
I am going in a couple weeks staying here aswell cant wait!
Have fun!
I'm going to this resort in June. Can't wait!!!
You’ll have the best time 😬
I hope so 😊
Ok you answered my question. Amd I’m trying to do clear tequila w seltzer good idea on the squirt
I always bring them with me! So good 😊
Some fun entertainment here!
Yes!
On the bike tour were you able to stop to swim at the lagoon? If not is it something you can walk to on your own? Any cost?
You can walk there to explore on your own. There’s not time to swim with the tour. I think the entry cost starts at $15pp.
What has been your favourite resort so far? I was looking at coming here... But I can't decide!
Currently Atelier Playa Mujeres, but I’m on my way back there now. So we shall see if it remains at the top! SA is great too
I was wondering if you have ever been to Haven Riviera Cancun?

I love tequila!🍹
KW is the following week, assuming flights aren’t $10,000 by then 😬
You're going to both?
Great video! We leave on June 4 and I am counting the days. What is the pool float you have?
Thank you! I get all my rafts at 5 below. If you don’t have that store they also sell the same one at Walmart, Target and Amazon (they just cost more!) Have fun ☀️

Thank you! Keep the Valentin on your list for next time, I’ve been 3x- love it there! At check in let them know it’s your anniversary! Have fun 🤍
@@MemoriesandMojitosTravel We are currently trying to decide between Valentin and Secrets, if snorkeling and water activities were what we were looking for first which would you choose?
@@MemoriesandMojitosTravel do you think the food was better at Akumal over VIM?
Hello! When you stopped at Yal Ku on the bike tour, did you have to pay to enter? We are definitely planning on doing the bike tour when we go and want to be prepared. Thank you!
No! But if you go without the tour, then yes 🙂
Mini beers???? What are those? Looks yummy!
Licor 43 and then top with frozen heavy cream or Baileys 😊
I have heard mixed reviews about the beach at Akumal. People say it's very crowded with snorkelers. What did you think about it?
No, I didn’t find it crowded. Keep watching the remaining days for my take on the beach 🙂
@@MemoriesandMojitosTravel Thank you very much!
Ahhh to be young and be able to stay up past 8pm😁
My preferred bedtime is 9pm….however I have to stay up just late enough to capture the events. And then I’m off to bed 😬
YAYYYYYY

The bike tour looked like fun. Was it included or was there a fee?
Super fun (and included!)
What a great idea to do a bike tour! Was that offered theu the resort?
Yes!

@@shaochengpei1183 nothing can be booked until you’re on site. Have fun!
Secrets Akumal v Secrets Aura Cozumel pro v cons? Seen both videos!
They are like night and day! Size, price, aesthetic, entertainment, etc. I like them both, but they are so different! If you plan to visit both eventually, I’d start with Aura since it’s the oldest
Great video! Majestic elegance costa mujeres or here?
Akumal- no comparison! (But majestic is great for the price).
@@MemoriesandMojitosTravel Wow really! We are wondering if we should pay 500$ more for this place or not.
If your budget allows, I’d do it without hesitation. However I’d happily go back to Majestic for the 3rd time, so if you’d rather save the $500 and get a massage, I support that!
@@MemoriesandMojitosTravel Don't want to be annoying but what stands out with akumal compared to majestic?
It’s just a step above (all around). Food better at Secrets. Drinks better at Majestic.
Did you take your own floaty
Always!
yum, crepes
