The hotel

This is Secrets first ever resort in Cancun and it’s a stunner! Adults-only and Unlimited-Luxury®, the design is cutting edge with every state-of-the-art facility you can think of. All rooms have private balconies revealing magnificent views of every sunrise and sunset over the ocean or lagoon. For true indulgence, head to the Secrets Spa by Pevonia®, inspired by local cave-like structures and cenotes; it’s a sublime experience, guaranteed to take your breath away! If yoga is more your thing, join like-minded others for some zen-like meditation in the open air or head to the pool for a spot of water aerobics. If you’ve always wanted to salsa, there are dancing lessons galore. After an action-packed day, or indeed a day just spent soaking up the sun — the choice is yours — head back to your beautifully appointed suite for sundowners on the terrace or enjoy a sommelier-led wine tasting with some of the world’s finest wine collections. When it comes to dining, again you’re spoilt for choice. The finest cuisine from around the world is served to you in a variety of restaurants, each one the perfect venue to linger in a while, soaking up the romantic atmosphere. Fancy a film after dinner? Some evenings there are films on the beach or dance the night away in the sports bar to the latest DJ-spun tunes!

It's the end of a quick vacay to relax and enjoy and it couldn't be any better, this last days have been really cloudy but Sergio always shared with us he's incredible good vibes and smile, he really helped it be better even the weather wasn't like we wanted. Oh! Let's not forget about Angel, Pedro, Andre and Rogelio great staff, kinda good hotel.

We stayed here for a week at the end of March 2024. I arrrvied having been ill with a migraine on a ten hour flight, and although at the time I couldn’t think of anything worse a welcome champagne was offered! The staff were actually brilliant at quickly understanding I felt rubbish and we were quickly shown to the room and no one tried to demo the blinds or mini bar - the just let me shower and rest which was massively appreciated. Our butlers Sandra and Raquel were helpful without being in your face. We had a lovely room and balcony with a view of the lagoon and back and the room was spacious, clean, furnished to a high standard and the air con was brilliant, cold and quiet. We had an excellent choice of restaurants, we actually preferred the sea grill for breakfast rather than the restaurant by the private pool as it has a wide choice, quick service and you could see the sea. The gym was good for a hotel gym although a couple of items were out of service the whole stay, there was pressure on the treadmills but we countered this by running early outside. The service by the pool was excellent, we found it quite easy to get sunbeds and again the Butlers were very attentive. There was good entertainment by the pool and in the evenings. We particularly enjoyed the music in the red vine bar. We did not have a bad meal all trip - one restaurant did forget the beef in my partners meal 😂 but it was quickly rectified. The quality of food, drinks, coffee and cookies was excellent - the trips arranged from the hotel by am star were great had the beach was stunning. I would not hesitate to look at another hotel in this chain for our next vacation. Read less

I was nervous booking after reading some reviews but I must say our stay was like something out of a fairy tale. We made sure to tip well, which they all very much earned and deserved. I was very disappointed to see how many people did not tip at all for dinks and food and it broke my heart. You could see the gratitude in the workers faces when you gave them praise and left a tip, it made the trip so much better! A little bit goes a long way with them. People who say they get paid and shouldnt have to tip extra, are the same people leaving the bad reviews so take that as you will regarding tipping. Our butler Alberto was amazing, we wanted for nothing!! Our waiters Pumba lol, Alejandro and Altoro were amazing. Im sure I am forgetting many names but point is, it is not the hotel that makes this place amazing, it is the hard workers that made this vacation so please be sure to factor in tip money with you book your vacation and they will give you the best time of your life!!! We will be back every year because of the staff!! Read less

6th trip here. Staff is great but the complete lack of AC makes it unbearable to sleep. Multiple requests and multiple messages of problem solved without a solution or explanation. Again, staff is great but the management lets them down. Unfortunate.

Stayed here with 2 girlfriends for a longer weekend and I was so excited to write a review! We specifically were looking for an adults-only resort and this did not disappoint at all. I've stayed at many all-inclusive so my review is as thorough as possible. Pros - 15 minutes from the airport, very quick check-in process, no wristbands (yay!!). More traditional hotel than resort, so property is very compact and not a lot of walking. Rooms are large, very clean, and well-appointed. Beds and pillows are comfortable and they provide plenty of linens. Rooms are quiet. Went to the buffet for breakfast and lunch and it was super easy, never a line with a large choice of food and beverages. Bars/drinks are abundant and drinks are strong. They offer top-shelf brands (Ketel One, Jack Daniels, 1800, with no up charge). Reservations are not required for dinner. There's typically a 20-30 minute wait but they alert you through the app so is easy to have a drink while you wait for your table. We did the Steak, Asian, and Italian restaurants and all were fabulous. Also did room service and it was doable in a bind but not great. They have a 24-hour lobby cafe which was wonderful. Staff is fabulous, especially the entertainment staff, but everyone is personable, friendly and they all go above and beyond. A variety of entertainment acts on each evening although if you're used to the big nightly shows, these are very small and more reserved in comparison. More my preference but some may feel it's lacking if you like the big productions. Easy to arrange spas and excursions. Participated in the pool area games and loved the pool cycling and FitBoard exercise class. There are several pools and although people save chairs, there was always a chair available. Beach is very nice, well maintained and private although there are the beach solicitors which can get annoying. Chairs at the pool and beach are both very comfortable and the towels are large, fluffy, and no limit on how many you can use! Hot tubs are nice and very large. Cons - The set up of the room is strange, especially if you're not a couple. The toilet and shower are in separate encased rooms but they are glass and right by the door entrance. So no real privacy. There are two sinks on opposite sides so you're not in each other's way but with 3 girls, the toilet and shower situation was a little awkward. The bathroom near the outdoor bar Manatees is only one stall - they could use a larger bathroom in the outdoor area (maybe there's another one, I never found it and always went inside). As mentioned, others may want more of a night scene. They have a piano bar which is lively at night but it was pretty tame compared to other resorts. It was perfect for me! Very few cons as this property was perfect for my vacation style. I would highly recommend and look forward to staying here again! Read less
