Marianna for Cross Fit is great. I was definitely sore the next 2 days. She has different routines daily so you don’t get bored. Every day at 9 by the pool. We even had class in the pouring rain under the cabana!

Wife and I visited this resort several years ago. That visit was great but this one better. We had a swim out in building 15 and it was awesome.

Wife and I visited this resort several years ago. That visit was great but this one better. We had a swim out in building 15 and it was awesome. I could go on an on about the food, drinks, pool and beach. What separates this resort from every other we have visited is the people. We were treated like we were the only guests there. Our building concierge Miguel went above and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing but perfection. Virginia at Coco cafe treated us as we were family. We were fortunate to not get suckered into the timeshare sales pitch. All it took was a polite “no thank you”. Imagine that? The way some people speak of it you would think they was held at gunpoint and forced into it. Read less

Just got back from another amazing trip. Beach here is unbelievable. Food was incredible. The only thing I would chance is to have a couple more " house" wines on the menu. As of today they have only 2 reds and 2 whites but a very extensive list if you wish to upgrade for a fee. I want to mention a few people who went out of their way to… Read more

I couldn’t fault this hotel for service, food , quality of grounds and furnishings. Food is varied with different restaurants including Italian, Asian and French. No booking but that sometimes means you have to wait. High standard of cuisine. Lovely pool areas with beautiful plants and flowers everywhere. Many different places to sit . The beach is nice, some seaweed but they do clear it. A variety of music playing. Wonderful harpist one afternoon but some head banging stuff that grated after a while. Can be noisy round the sit up pool bar when the Americans have had their fill of drinks and start shouting at each other. We then escape to the beach. Good they have a non reserve for beds. Longer than thirty mins and you lose yours. Would be good if the hotel supplied diet tonic in the bars for those needing low sugar drinks. You can visit Chichen Itza from here but it’s a long day especially if there are a few drop off. Around 3-4 hours each way travelling. A taxi would be two hours each way. One issue we had was that we paid for an ocean view room, not partial view and were given the one in the photo below. They insisted this was a full ocean view. How, I just don’t know so be careful with your expectations. I would come back to this hotel. On the whole it was a great week and the smiling helpful staff.... apart from the one or two on reception.....enhanced our experience Read less

My wife and I just returned from 6 days at Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera in Cancun ... A truly BEAUTIFUL place having fantastic service (they can't do enough for you !!!) and excellent food, plus beautiful weather ... These are all major positives ... Now for the only MAJOR NEGATIVE - they laid out a disguised time-share-sell for their VIP Program the second we were done checking in. I mean really ??? We were paying for an expensive vacation there and within 20 minutes of arriving they were trying to rope us into attending a "free thank you breakfast" (that if attended included Spa-money credits) 'honoring' all of Secrets loyal patrons, trying to pin us down to a scheduled morning DURING our paid stay. Remember this is an all-inclusive paid stay so all meals are already included and our time there should be ONLY our time ... I smelled a bad-fish right off the get-go with the "thank you breakfast offer". This to me was very offensive considering I didn't pay all of this money to have them try and sell me yet another bill-of-goods after arriving there to relax. At best they should have maybe handed me a pamphlet describing the program and asking me to let them know later if I was interested ... period. Lots of hotels offer "free nights" stipulating you attend a sales pitch 1st - all to try to get you hooked into a time-share deal and some are worthwhile BUT to pitch this on a paid stay is unacceptable - IMHO !!! This is a big negative regarding their apparent 'policy'. Read less
