If you're dreaming of a tropical escape that blends relaxation, luxury, and a touch of adventure, Secrets Tulum Resort and Beach Club should be on your radar. Nestled in the heart of Tulum, this adults-only resort offers a serene getaway that combines eco-conscious design with the lavishness we Canadians love when heading south. After staying here, I can confidently say it offers some unique experiences you won’t want to miss.
Poolside Paradise Meets the Beach
One of the standout features of Secrets Tulum is their pool areas. Imagine lounging by a pool with soft sand beneath your feet—yes, sand! The poolside setup mimics a beach environment, giving you the best of both worlds. As someone who adores the beach, I loved that I didn’t feel like I was missing out while relaxing by the pool. It was my first time experiencing something like this, and it was an absolute treat.
The Beach Club Experience
While the resort isn’t directly beachfront due to local government efforts to preserve the area’s natural beauty, the Beach Club more than makes up for it. It’s a short 20-minute ride from the resort on a safari-style, open-air truck. The ride itself is part of the adventure, as you pass through the charming, smaller parts of Tulum.
Once you arrive, the Beach Club feels like an extension of the resort. Unlimited food and drinks, attentive waiter service, and even a swimming pool—it’s all included. The ocean here is stunning, with crystal-clear waters perfect for a refreshing dip, though on my visit, it was delightfully choppy with small waves adding a touch of excitement.
Cozy Luxury in Every Detail
The rooms at Secrets Tulum are a haven of comfort. One of my favorite features was the "secret delivery door" for room service. You can order through their app, choose a delivery time, and have your meal left in a private compartment—ideal for those moments when you’re relaxing in your pajamas and don’t want to be disturbed. Speaking of room service, the menu offered an impressive variety, and deliveries were always prompt.
And let’s not forget the thoughtful touches like plush bathrobes and slippers. It’s those little details that make your stay feel extra special.
A Sand-Filled Lobby Bar
The lobby bar is another unique spot, with areas where sand covers the floor, creating a relaxed, barefoot vibe even indoors. Whether you’re sipping a margarita or just soaking in the atmosphere, it’s a great way to unwind and ease into vacation mode.
Why Secrets Tulum Stands Out
What sets Secrets Tulum apart is how it seamlessly blends luxurious amenities with the natural beauty and charm of Tulum. From eco-friendly design choices to unique experiences like the sand-bottomed pools and off-site Beach Club, it’s clear the resort prioritizes both guest satisfaction and the preservation of Tulum’s enchanting environment.
Tips for Your Stay
Beach Club Timing: Take advantage of the frequent shuttles to the Beach Club. Spend a day enjoying the ocean breeze and the same high level of service you’d get at the resort.
Room Service Convenience: Use the app for seamless room service and other requests—it’s straightforward and efficient.
Relax in Style: Don’t skip out on the bathrobe and slipper experience. It’s the little luxuries that make the stay so memorable.
For Canadians looking to escape the cold and bask in a tropical haven, Secrets Tulum Resort and Beach Club offers the perfect mix of comfort, adventure, and eco-conscious luxury. Whether it’s your first trip to Tulum or your tenth, this resort is bound to leave a lasting impression.
