Wow! What a trip!
Top of the line on everything from the room, to the dining options, to the pools. Beautiful, well kept grounds. The beach was beautiful but very rocky. Drinks were exceptional. Service unsurpassed.
Loved the resort and food, service was excellent.
The pools were very nice but the beach was not. The wooden docks they built look very cheap and block the view of the ocean. Ocean swimming should be with water shoes only as it is very rocky. The water was very dirty and allot of trash collects on the piers. If you are not a beach lover then this place will work for you. One thing I must say is we have been to many carribean islands and also Mexican resorts... and the service here really stood out and the food was excellent.
This was a very nice place to vacation. It was a beautiful place but I was told that this place was for singles and couples....lol boy was that wrong..I was the only single person out there..It got so bad that i left a day or two early cuz i was tha odd ball out..lol but nice place.. great service ...

Can you swim at the beach? Is it rocky?12 answers

Sam I am
Yes, you can, although they warn you not to because the waves are rough and big. They can be, but if you're from the beach, they aren't bad at all.
JessN
No, you cannot swim by the beach (unless you have aqua socks). It is far too rocky and has too much coral - very few spots are just sand.
TheHoneymooners
No... this is not a swimming beach......Rocks everywhere and the water really isn't the pretty water we were looking for........
slick1532
The water is shallow. Not good for swimming.
NeedaVaction
You can but the water is dirty and very rocky. I woudn't recommend do so at the resort we stayed at. Texas beaches are better. We did visit resorts closer to Cancun where the beaches were beautiful and perfect.
red10
You can swim at the beach, but I didn't see a lot of people doing that and the beach is rocky.
DonO
The water is very shallow to approximately 100 yards out. It's not rocky, but there's a good deal of seaweed on the floor there. The water is nice and clear too.
Dinks6
really can't swim on the beach, very rocky and painful to step on the coral and lotsa seaweed too.
Nasri
no...you cannot swim at this beach. you must take a walk to the South for about 1/2 a mile past a dog that might bite your head off unless you are willing to sink you body into the disgusting water in front of the house that has this dog...avoid this resort..see my review.
more00sunplease
Rocky, but you can swim if you take your time getting in.
JeffB32
You can definitely swim at the beach, you just need to go out beyond the first 15 feet, because there is some seaweed by the coast and some rocks. But, you can go out for a long way before you reach neck deep.
SilentButDeadly
We didn't go to the beach, really. I don't think it's really a beach for swimming. The pools were great, though. The beach was actually the only common complaint I overheard. (I really didn't hear any other complaints)

What is a swim-out room?11 answers
Literary, step out onto the patio and step off into pool?
1 year, 12 months ago
Mike
Most of these swim-out rooms have a bit of lawn in-between the patio and the actual pool, so you can pull out your chairs and get some sun on the lawn in front of your room...see attached picture
NHMATraveler
I have seen other resorts' swim outs to be the pool water coming up into your staircase out of the patio so you can simply step into the water from your patio. But here at Secrets Siilversands, the swim out rooms are like this - room, patio, then a foot of lawn, then the edge of the pool.
AvidVacationers
there is a small grassy area between the patio and the pool, maybe 5'...but the pools are very close for the bottom floor, swim out rooms
sunnymo
HI MIKE, A SWIM OUR ROOM IS A ROOM WITH A POOL DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE SLIDING GLASS DOOR TO YOUR ROOM.T HEY ARE VERY CONVENIENT. STEP ONTO THE PATIO AND THEN RIGHT IN THE POOL. ENJOY....
nursemade
Yes, if you have a room on the first floor. All first floor rooms have a patio that is in front of the pool. Downside, there is no privacy for a first floor patio. All rooms above the ground floor have porches that are private.
tttt
Maybe 2 feet of grass between your patio and the pool
Micah741
It is a ground floor room, you walk out and within a few feet there is a pool. Not very private....
Catherinek25
No, the "swim out" rooms are a total waste of money. There is a lot of grass to walk on before you get to the pool from the room, and to be honest, advertising it as a swim out is just a lie.It's not like the Sandals resorts, those really are made to where you can walk out of your room into the pool. Also, if you stay in building 6, you can see the ocean from the room. Try one of those. Also, if you are interested in scuba/snorkleing, the beach here is the worst I have ever seen. Our main reason for going was to enjoy swimming in the ocean, and we were not able to do that at all becasue of all the rocks.
vjobe413
Yep... you walk out and within 20 seconds... BOOM... you're in a pool.
SukiMySuki
There might be 5-15 ft. of grass in between depending on where your room is.
braveopenseas
A room facing the pool areas. Generally there is a small grassy area in between the room and pool for privacy. Very convenient since most come with beach chairs right in front.
Anonymous
There is about 6 feet of grass between the patio and the pool.

do you need reservations for the restaurants?4 answers
We are planning on going for 4 nights. Just wanted to make sure we would not run into any problems with dining on the resort.
3 months ago
melrose
The Secrets Resorts do not require dinner reservations at any of their restaurants.
MeganCC
You do not have to make reservations at any of the restaurants, with the exception of the Hibachi grill at Himitsu Restaurant. They do offer regular dining, though, as well. Just make sure to check out the dress codes as we did see a few couples get turned away for their shorts. (side note: the website said that some restaurants require "formal" attire, but none did while we were there....just "casual elegance"! Just so you aren't too overdressed like we were one night!!)
frostygirl
Dining was incredible. I would call to find out which restaurants are open when you go though. You need reservations for Himachi only if you want to eat Hibachi style otherwise we didn't need any for any restaurants. If you like sushi then you definitely want to go when Himachi is open. The rolls and the sashami was amazing!
The Fench restaurant was also very good along with Rata Touiolle.
We didn't eat at the steak place but heard it was very good. I am very critical when it comes to food and this place did not dissapoint.
zspeed95
You just need a reservation in the Hibachi resturant. All others are first come first serve and normally no wait. We had 85 percent occupation last week while we were there.

Anyone know spa prices?3 answers
Just looking to get a general idea. If you got any service, it would be great to hear how much you paid and for what. Thanks.

Upon reviewing the resort's website for their spa, http://www.secretsresorts.com/silversands/spa.asp, it does not appear that they list the pricing for the services offered.
MariaCC
Spa is very expensive as most of them at resorts are. This spa does have free amenities for all guests though. There is a calming pool and a hot therapy pool along with a cold therapy pool.. all free for all guests.
zspeed95
Spa prices are kind of high. $300 for a couples, $140 for a single person.

Hotel Description
Unlimited-Luxury® at Secrets Silversands Riviera Cancun
Ready to trade the hustle and bustle for a private paradise? Head for tropical sands and Unlimited-Luxury® at beachfront Secrets Silversands Riviera Cancun. For adults only, and 15 miles south of Cancun, this is the perfect choice for couples and singles looking for ultra-modern, luxurious style.
Relax under a palapa, or take advantage of eight sparkling pools with an outrageous 43,000 sq ft of refreshing waters for play or a peaceful float. Swim up to Manatees for a frosty margarita before deciding which of the nine excellent restaurants you'd like to try first at Secrets Silversands Riviera Cancun. Unlimited-Luxury® options include everything from fettuccine alfredo at Portofino and canard l'orange at Bordeaux to teppanyaki shows at Himitsu and fresh fish at Oceana, providing enough choices to try something new every night of your special vacation.
After a culinary world tour, meet new friends at one of the eight bars or take in the nightly theatrical shows. Rendezvous is a prime spot for sipping cosmos in a chic atmosphere, and we hear the beachside Barracuda Bar is happening after nightfall.
Peace and quiet doesn't mean you have to lie around all day! Nothing clears the mind like snorkeling through coral reefs, paddling out your frustrations in a kayak, hitting a perfect serve over the tennis net or knocking out a solid mile on a treadmill at the fitness center. Once your mind is clear, slip into a robe at The Secrets Spa by Pevonia, where a Swedish massage and purifying hydrotherapy help work wonders for winding down a long day of fun in paradise.
The 433 all-suite Secrets Silversands Riviera Cancun welcomes guests to unwind in splendor thanks to chic interiors and unbelievably comfy beds. Why bother walking back when you can just swim to the room when you choose the fun Junior Suite Swim-Out? And with perks like 24-hour room service and a fully stocked mini bar, you and your sweetie can savor a quiet night together as you plan another day of heavenly bliss at this resort.
