It is important to note that Secrets Tulum is not on the beach. Before I went there, I could not confidently explain why this should not sway your decision at choosing this resort for your next adult only vacation. Now that I have had a chance to see the property and understand the value at the resort and the Beach Club as two separate options, I am 100% thrilled to say that the Beach Club is a very big value-add for your next vacation.
The Secrets Tulum Beach Club is in an unbeatable location in the heart of the Tulum Hotel Zone. You can take the included 25-minute shuttle from the resort. The Beach Club is idea for a lively day trip where you can enjoy a fun ambiance by the turquoise waters, indulge in a tropical drink or grab a bite to hear while relaxing in a lounger.
Do you want to venture off to the town of Tulum? No worries, you can take advantage of the private lockers, and showers. The last shuttle leaves around 5:15 Pm daily. You can also catch a cab from the area back to Secrets Tulum without any issue.
We loved the food, beverage, ocean, and more while we were there. I would not hesitate to go back!!!! This beach si for beach lovers!
While Secrets Tulum & Beach Club is not located directly on the beach, you will have full access to the Private Beach Club which comes with every room category at the resort. The Beach Club is located about 25-minutes from the resort and is well worth the drive. I enjoyed being able to get off of the property and did not find it a negative at all.
