Secrets Tulum All Inclusive Review: Worth It? (Full Resort Tour) [YouTube Bonus]

In this YouTube bonus episode, DeAndre reviews his and Taryn’s stay at Secrets Tulum Resort & Beach Club, an adults only all inclusive resort set inside the jungle just outside downtown Tulum. The property stands out for its cenote inspired architecture, circular buildings, and winding pools that create a unique design rarely seen at traditional beachfront resorts.

They walk through the overall experience, from their Preferred Club upgrade and swim out suite to the layout of the pools, restaurants, and rooftop party scene. The resort leans heavily into a jungle aesthetic, which creates beautiful views and privacy but can make navigation slightly confusing due to curved paths and segmented buildings.

Since the resort itself is not located directly on the beach, guests use a regular shuttle to reach the dedicated beach club. The system works well for travelers who enjoy splitting their day between pool relaxation and ocean time, though beach focused travelers may prefer a property directly on the sand.

The episode also covers the food, drink quality, and service experience, including standout service from the Preferred Club concierge team. DeAndre shares how they booked the stay entirely with Hyatt points at roughly 25,000 points per night, turning what could have been an expensive luxury stay into a nearly zero out of pocket vacation.

Key Highlights:

1. Adults only jungle resort: Secrets Tulum offers a unique cenote inspired design surrounded by mangroves and greenery.
2. Preferred Club upgrade value: Lounge access, better drinks, and concierge service significantly improved the stay.
3. Pools are the main attraction: The resort features multiple pools, rooftop events, and social areas.
4. Beach access requires a shuttle: Guests ride a short shuttle to the resort’s dedicated beach club.
5. Solid all inclusive dining: Restaurants like Jasmine and Blue Water Grill stood out for breakfast and dinner.
6. Strong concierge service: Personalized service helped create a VIP experience during the stay.
7. Great value on Hyatt points: Nights can often be booked for around 25,000 to 35,000 World of Hyatt points.
8. Points transfer options: Chase Ultimate Rewards and Bilt points transfer to Hyatt at a 1 to 1 rate.
9. Good fit for pool lovers: Travelers who prioritize pools and atmosphere will enjoy the resort most.
