The hotel

This very popular adults-only resort is on its own little stretch of paradise, with the pure white flat sands and crystal clear waters of Maroma Beach. This all-suite resort is nestled in carefully manicured gardens with a huge infinity swimming pool at it's heart, offering stunning views of the electric-blue waters of the Caribbean Sea stretching out in front of you. This hotel offers elegance and a wealth of activities that will keep you amused all day. Try a treatment at the spa, tee-off at the nearby golf course, or there are plenty of water sports on offer such as sailing and kayaking.

This was our second stay at Secrets Maroma Beach. The customer service, food, drinks, and amenities are all fantastic. Special thanks to Oscar (concierge building 24) and Luis (pizza lunch) for making our stay even better than the last one.

Really recommend staying here.. Beautiful beach, beautiful hotel, amazing staff and lovely food. We did not want to leave. We spent two weeks here for our honeymoon. Any slight hiccups we faced were dealt with quickly and efficiently.. Can't wait to go back.

the service and property condition were both good. Food and beverages were in general poor with roughly half being horrendous. Breakfast buffet was good if you like such things. Other meals were significant underperformers. Drinks were very low quality. Wine the same. Beer was fine
