Last summer my husband and I stayed at an all inclusive resort in Riveria Maya. There were so many resorts to choose from! But after a lot of research, we chose Secrets Maroma. Some of the reasons we chose this resort was because it was decently priced and adult only.
Rooms: The resort has multiple rooms to chose from depending on the amount you want to spend. We chose the swim out suite. This room has it’s own private patio with direct access to a swim out pool. It’s a nice way to have some privacy from the main pools.
Food: Throughout the resort, there are seven restaurants to choose from. Although the food isn’t great, there are several options to choose from. Some of the options include French, Mexican, Asian, and Italian cuisine. One of my favorite features was the 24 hour room service. Bars are located throughout the resort. My favorites were the swim up bar, pool side bar, and beach bar. Tip: Be sure to bring cash to tip the staff. They prefer US currency.
Activities: You will never get bored at this resort! There’s something to go each day. The resort offers kayaking, snorkeling, putt putt, ping pong, tennis, and more. Each day they have a pool activity. My favorite was bingo and volleyball foam party. Tip: Each morning, they leave a schedule of the day’s events. Use that to help plan your day.
Excursions: Even though they cost extra money, I highly recommend taking an excursion. The lobby has different travel companies that will help you choose which excursion you want to go on. While we were there, we did two. The first one we did took us to Talum and Akumal to snorkel with sea turtles. The second we did was a snorkeling excursion that took us to a cenote, cave, and lagoon. Lunch was included with both excursions; it was nice to try traditional mexican food (it was delicious). Tip: Choose an excursion that gets you the most bang for your buck and allows you to see multiple places.

My favorite place to drink was in the hammock by the pool.
