•  1/25/2026 -  Destination Weddings

“From start to finish, our destination wedding experience was nothing short of incredible, and we cannot thank Vincent Vacations enough for making our dream wedding a reality... The experience was smooth, stress-free, and thoughtfully handled every step of the way.”
-From Kimber & Davin

Discover Why Secrets Akumal is a Top-Tier Choice—and How Our Experts Handle the Logistics for Your Entire Guest List.

If you are looking for a destination wedding that blends sophisticated luxury with the natural, laid-back beauty of the Mexican Caribbean, you have likely heard of Akumal. Known as the "Place of the Turtles," this stunning stretch of coast is home to Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya—a resort that consistently wins the hearts of our couples and their guests alike.

Planning a celebration for 50+ people in another country can feel overwhelming, but as Kimber and Davin discovered this past October, it doesn't have to be. Here is why Secrets Akumal is a "gem" of a venue and how the All Inclusive Weddings team turns a complex group trip into a seamless celebration.

Why We Love Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya

1. A Breathtaking Natural Setting

Located in the heart of the Riviera Maya, Secrets Akumal sits on a beach famous for its white sand and calm waters, which are ideal for snorkeling with sea turtles. The resort grounds are beautifully maintained, offering a perfect balance of lush tropical greenery and high-end comfort that serves as a stunning backdrop for wedding photography.

2. Award-Winning Coordination

A destination wedding is only as good as the team on the ground. At Secrets Akumal, the on-site wedding team, led by experts like coordinator Elsa del Razo, is known for bringing a couple's specific vision to life. From emotional ceremonies to perfectly executed receptions, they ensure the day flows smoothly so you can focus on the milestone.

3. The "Unlimited-Luxury®" Experience

Your guests aren't just attending a wedding; they are enjoying a world-class vacation. Kimber and Davin’s guests raved about the experience, citing:

• Exceptional Dining & Spa: Gourmet à la carte options and a world-class spa ensure everyone feels pampered.
• Personalized Service: From the concierge to the restaurant teams, the staff goes above and beyond to make every guest feel welcomed.
• Adults-Only Atmosphere: A sophisticated environment that allows for a relaxed, romantic celebration.

Why Smart Couples Book Through "All Inclusive Weddings"

Kimber and Davin celebrated with approximately fifty family members and friends. Managing 50 separate travel itineraries, airport transfers, and room preferences is a full-time job. That is where we come in.

1. We Manage the "Guest Stress"

Our lead agents, like Katherine Milam, handle the heavy lifting. We manage the booking, travel logistics, and group details for every single one of your guests. From the moment they land in Mexico, their transportation and resort logistics are perfectly coordinated.

2. Locked-In Rates & Perk Optimization

We specialize in destination weddings at all-inclusive resorts. We negotiate group room blocks to ensure your guests get the best rates, and we make sure every booking counts toward your wedding amenities—earning you potential credits for cocktail parties or room upgrades.

3. Professional Advocacy

We are your voice with the resort. While resort coordinators handle the day-of details, we handle the months of planning, contract clarifications, and payment management that happen beforehand. We make a large group trip feel "easy and enjoyable".

The Verdict?

Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya is a stunning canvas for your "I Do's," and All Inclusive Weddings (a division of Vincent Vacations) is the expert team that ensures your masterpiece is painted without a hitch.

You deserve to be a guest at your own wedding. Let us handle the spreadsheets while you handle the memories.

Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya Review With Sally and John

•  5/26/2025 -  Destination Weddings

Just a few days after Fourth of July, Sally and John made their way to Secrets Akumal for an intimate destination wedding of their dreams. They knew they wanted a private ceremony for the two to cherish and found that Secrets Akumal had what exactly what they were looking for. When the couple first began planning their special day, they were immediately drawn to Secrets Akumal and the local inspiration throughout the hotel. The private ceremony took place in the gazebo by the ocean, which made for a picture perfect moment. 

See the special moments this couple had while enjoying their dream destination wedding.

What is your favorite memory from your big day?

Every minute of our big day was memorable, every single minute. We wouldn’t have changed a thing and would get married at Secrets Akumal again if we could!

What was your favorite amenity?

We loved everything about Secrets Akumal from the moment we arrived to the moment we departed. From the welcoming we received at check-in, our host Aldo was fantastic our entire stay, checking on us daily and attending to any requests we had. The Spa was fabulous and the 20% inclusion rate made it possible for us to visit many time during our stay. The food was outstanding at all the restaurants, but Mi Carissa was our favorite. The service and grace of the staff, the Chef who came to our table, creating a menu just for our Wedding Celebration dinner was exceptional. Also, our Estancia Suite was magnificent!

Describe your big day in three sentences.

My day began at 1:00 pm when the Styling Trio entered our suite and transformed me into a beautiful bride by doing my hair and makeup. Our wedding coordinator, Brenda, was there the entire time from the styling in the suite to our Wedding Night Celebration Dinner, and graciously attended to every detail, creating a fairytale wedding for us. Our wedding was personalized and intimate and surpassed every expectation we had.

And so the adventure begins…

Sally and John’s experience at Secrets Akumal continued to exceed expectations even after the big day. The days following their wedding were filled with poolside relaxation, snorkeling with sea turtles just steps from the beach, and romantic candlelit dinners under the stars. The couple mentioned how the tranquil atmosphere and adults-only setting made it feel like they had the entire resort to themselves. From spontaneous beach walks at sunrise to sipping cocktails at the swim-up bar, every moment added to the magic. They even booked a professional photo session through the resort to capture their honeymoon glow—and now have those memories beautifully preserved. Secrets Akumal wasn’t just a wedding venue; it was the beginning of a lifelong love story.
