Envision this: you are lounging at the resort pool with a view of endless blue - there is no discernible division between sea and sky. But you can't keep your eyes off the water. How many colors of blue are there? This conundrum beckons you and you decide you've got to go beneath the surface, below this heavenly azure to see what's underneath. Luckily, there's a world-renowned Dive House and the second largest coral reef in the world at your feet.

My trip
the stay was excellent the staff were very nice and friendly
This resort is really great. The room was just beautiful and the food was always good at all locations. I snorkeled right off the beach and saw many colorful fish. The drinks tasted good and were pretty strong! The room was cleaned to perfection every day. I loved our stay and will be back
Our vacation in Mexico was fantastic. All our hotel arrangements were just as planned and the food and activities were just as good. Would use cheap cariibbean again and again to travel on vacation. Thanks again
I loved the all inclusive option. The restaurant choices were good. We loved the buffet option and the French restaurant. We loved our swim up pool and the service we received from the staff at the pool restaurant. It was truly paradise. I will book through this again!

What is the Premium Beer there,, And do they have other beer available? Also, is this a 100% non-smoking Resort?5 answers
5 years, 65 months ago
Northern Indiana
It would be best checking directly with the resort as the international and domestic premium beer brands may vary. Most resorts have designated areas in which smoking is permitted. For answers to any specific questions, please feel free to contact the resort directly at 1-800-413-3886.
MariaCC
They had Sol and Dos X. Smoking is allowed.
ninatally
Its not non-smoking at all. Many people were smoking. Just not inside the restaurants. No premium beer that I saw, most beers were Dos Equis XX and Sol beer. Local brews. Not alot of premium alcohol either. You have to ask. And repeat often. Ask for your drink to be strong if you are looking to catch a buzz.
IrishMom15
Smoking is allowed on the beach and at the skybar and on your balcony. The only beer I saw was dos equis. Plenty of premium liquor.
koala
don,t remember lol

Dos Equis and Tecate were the available beers. Smoking is allowed anywhere on the resort.

5 years, 64 months ago
Indianapolis
Cozumel doesn't have much nightlife.
KellyCC
They had activities every night at the resort so we never left. There are a few places in town though like Carlos and Charley's.
ninatally
Not really. You can go to the Sabor side and it's a little more lively (karoke, DJ, dancing) than the Sky Bar, or take a taxi into town, but not a lot of nightlife to speak of
IrishMom15
Carlos and Charlies is within walking distance, right down the beach.
Jmlong
Yes Skybar at Aura has some and Desires at Sunscape Sabor next door does also. We didn't leave the resort for nightlife as it was sufficient for us, but you could take a taxi to town if desired.

Is ground transportation (from airport in Cancun to resort in Cozumel) included in this deal?3 answers
5 years, 64 months ago
Texas Hill Country
Please be advised that flights are usually booked into the Cozumel Airport. The resort is located 20 minutes away from Cozumel International Airport (CZM). We do offer the option of purchasing the roundtrip airport transfer service with your vacation package during the booking process.
MariaCC
We flew into Cozumel and purchased ground transportation through Cheap Caribbean when we booked our trip. It was very nice because we didn't have to worry about any of the sales people hounding us at the airport.
ninatally
No, I would try to book a transport with Olympic Tours. They were fantastic. Once you clear customs, DO NOT stop for anyone looking to "direct" you to the proper person to look for your tour bus. Look for a representative outside the doors wearing an BRIGHT ORANGE shirt and clearly marked Olympic Tours. Cost is $40 round trip to resort/airport

what about diving5 answers
Does resort have facilities on premise, what about equipment storage if brought...cost per tank
5 years, 64 months ago
diver Dave
The resort does have a full-service on-site dive operator and Dive Shop. For pricing, we recommend checking directly with the resort for the most accurate information. The telephone number to contact Secrets Resorts directly is 1-866-GOSECRETS (437-3273).
MariaCC
They have excursions that will pick you up right at the dock on the Secrets property. It's an extra cost (it's not part of the all-inclusive). For storage, can't you leave the equipment in your room?
Jmlong
yes they do however we used dive martin and they were great - pick up at the dock, etc - we rinsed gear in our over-sized walk-in shower and placed on veranda
purdue
I wouldn't recommend using the hotel dive shop. The boats were crowded with people. I would recommend using one of the other dive shops that will pick you up at the hotel pier and store your equipment. We used Scuba Tony and they were GREAT!
LarryPdx
No idea about costs as we are not divers, but the dive shop is right there at the south end of the resort, the dive boat leaves right from the pier, and we saw several other guests with their own gear.

how is the snorkeling right offf the beach5 answers
5 years, 64 months ago
ELE
Snorkeling is very good in Cozumel!
KellyCC
The snorkling is awesome with clear water and some fish, tou are better off taking the day trip to the reefs and really seeing lots of suff
Nitronick
Most of the larger fish are under the dock including some angelfish, and we saw a small stingray there too. We drifted north all the way to the end of the sabor resort and saw a trunkfish, lots of young versions of snapper, parrot fish, sergeant majors and other small fish as well as a brief encounter with a barracuda. A very tiny amount of coral and a couple anemones.
koala
Snorkeling is ok but the beaches full of thick seaweed. Honestly the over all beach is very poor and not well maintained there are 3 other resorts near buy that are much nicer .
Vaca123
Yes, you can get free snorkel gear from the watersports stand at the resort. There are lots of fish that hang out under the pier and around the area, but no coral and they are not super colorful tropical looking fish. There is a 2x daily snorkeling tour that takes you to 3 reefs (30 mins to snorkel at each), which I think is about $35pp. I heard it was really good snorkeling but we didn't go ourselves.

Will my previous booking still be for Secrets Aura even though it was booked when Sabor and Secrets were one resort?2 answers
I booked a room with a slide a few months ago when Secrets Aura and Sabor Cozumel were under the management; now I see that the resort has split into two different resorts. My booking through Cheap Caribbean says it is for Sabor Cozumel, but I paid for a room that is now part of Secrets Aura. I am very concerned about where I will be staying especially since I was not notified of this change. Please let me know if I will be staying at Secrets Aura or Sabor Cozumel. Thanks!

Please call our office to discuss your reservation.
KellyCC
I just got back from my vacation there. The rooms that have the swim out slides are in the Secrets part of the resort, although this section used to be a part of Sabor. We stayed in that section you are talking about, checked in at Secrets Aura, but that's also what we booked on CheapCaribbean (we booked Secrets Aura). It probably doesn't matter though. They are still owned by the same company and we could eat/drink at restaurants/bars at both Secrets and Sabor. To my knowledge the only difference is Secrets does not allow children.

Aura rooms compared to "old Sabor"?3 answers
We have stayed at the Sabor exclusive for the past three years. We are looking to possibly "upgrade" this year and stay at the Aura, however, we notice that the swim up pool view under Aura, is actually the old Sabor section. How do I assure that I am booking in the new building closest to the ocean? We toured this building last year and they all had floor to ceiling glass facing the beach/lazy river. First floor was swim up,second floor was defiantly all ocean view and third floor had the upstairs with lap pool and sun deck.
5 years, 63 months ago
Ukiah,Ca
We would be able to request this area of the resort for you if you would like. However, room requests are based upon availability at the time of check in and not guaranteed. To ensure you were in the section you mentioned, you would need to book a room in that area of the resort.
KristenCC
The renovated rooms are the ocean view swim out rooms. The junior swim out rooms are the old Sabor buildings.
LilNater
When booking you have to tell them you want "ocean view". All of the Aura rooms are ocean view and in the newer end or ocean side of the building.
We booked an ocean view swim up suite and loved it. The Sabor is all the back side of the resort, Aura ocean side.

Are pants required for men at dinner (evening meal)?6 answers
Do any of the restaurants require pants for men at the evening meal?
5 years, 63 months ago
Dale
Yes, which kinda sucks. You're on vacation relaxing, not dressing for a ball. With that said, MANY people look like they are going to the prom. You can get by with Nice jeans and women can wear capris,
bratty1
We recommend bringing a pair of pants (and close toed shoes) for dinner; attire will be business/nice casual.
LaurenCC
Yes, pants are required at 2 of the 3 restaurants. And no open toed (flip flop) shoes.
IrishMom15
Two of them do and they are the best restaurants on the resort. Plan to bring at least a couple pairs.
Jmlong
They say for the men it's "casual elegance" which means pants. However the entire time we were there (first week in April) men were coming and going in pants and shorts.
They didn't seem to have a problem either way.
AnnieTulsa
The website says that some of them require pants for men. However, I saw men in nicer shorts at every restaurant. Though, generally people were fairly dressed up for dinner, so you would probably feel out of place in shorts.
theburts
Yes, most of the dinner restaurants require men to have long pants.

For more information please contact the resort directly.
CaitlinCC
We just returned (first week in April) and the current was not strong at all.
We didn't do any shore diving other than snorkeling.
AnnieTulsa
Most of the larger fish are under the dock including some angelfish, and we saw a small stingray there too. We drifted north all the way to the end of the sabor resort and saw a trunkfish, lots of young versions of snapper, parrot fish, sergeant majors and other small fish as well as a brief encounter with a barracuda. A very tiny amount of coral and a couple anemones.
koala
I enjoyed the snorkeling and saw a lot of beautiful fish since there is coral reef on the shore. No strong current or waves.
Travelgirl777
Current is not strong at all. Lots of schools fish under the dock including turtles, sting rays, lobsters, and a few barricudas. Snorkel equipment is available free at the dive shop as well. I actually thought the diving here was as good as the reef we explored.

For further details, please call us at 1.800.915.2322.

There were some rocks to walk past when first entering the water but easy to do or you can walk down the pier and jump in or climb down the ladder making it easy to swim or snorkle.
txdonahues
There are a few rocks where you enter the water but it is very easy to get in. The beach area is very nice for swimming and snorkeling.

The beach area is not a wide one, and the water is very rocky. If you go out a little past the shoreline, it gets less rocky. Definitely take water shoes.

No they are not included. You can book through Amstar on Secrets website or get a taxi for around $25 I think. Taxis do not come right up to the arrival area so you have to walk out and find one.

Not sure but a long time ago. The Secrets resorts were comprised of 2 older hotels, a Wyndham and a Sabor hotel. Secrets has been updating but there are still some upgrades they need to make.

Is the hotel's beach shore sandy, smooth, or rocky?5 answers

The beach is a beautiful, white sand beach, which is not rocky. Just sandy and beautiful.
JeannieCC
Sandy
Sunshine12344412
beach is sandy, past waterline is very rocky, bring watershoes
goodtime52
Very rocky,if you're planning to go in,bring in some watershoes
Vinnnny
Mostly sandy but as you enter the water its pretty uneven (but smooth) rock. The best thing that I found was once I got into 1-2 foot deep water was to lay down and begin swimming to avoid slipping on the rocks.

Resort Deposit5 answers
Other travel sites state there is a 2500 MXN peso (roughly $130.00) deposit required upon arrival...considering this is not a cheap resort to start off with, is this true? The resort listing says nothing of the sort. If it does indeed require this deposit, is this refundable? My husband and I have been to a handful of AI's that did not require any deposits (all fees, taxes, deposits were included in the price of the stay). Thanks in advance!

Resorts do often put a hold on your credit card at the time of check-in for incidentals, which is refundable so long as there is nothing additional that would need to be charged to your card (i.e, damages, ordering items that cost additional, etc.). The amount, however, does vary per resort and would need to be discussed with them directly.
JeannieCC
We did not have to pay any deposit
Sunshine12344412
No deposit is required
Vinnnny
We did not have to give a deposit at this resort.

Deal of the day room4 answers
My husband and I are coming to this resort on Tuesday and we booked a DOD room...I'm a little concerned we will get some hole in the wall room as most of the complaints on this resort are in regards to the rooms. Has anyone else booked the DOD room, and what was your experience like?
1 year, 21 months ago
hlmartin89
The Deal of the Day room isn't a specific room category, it just means you'll be placed in the lead-in/lowest room category available. Generally this means you'd be placed in one of the pool view rooms for this resort.
JeannieCC
We are here now. What does "DOD" stand for?
JimTrunks
My husband and I had a DOD room on our third visit (just came home from our fourth time). It was the BEST room we've had yet! They gave us a nice ocean view room with an amazing bathroom with a huge tub and shower. Not a bad room at the resort!!!
DMinTN
I can't imagine any of the rooms being a joke in the wall. Ours was awesome!! Very clean and comfortable.
TripnLea
I booked DOD as did 3 other couples who we were traveling with. Everyone was happy with their room. While we were not near each other it worked out well because we used entire resort complex instead of staying in one area. We did not ask to be near each other when we arrived though.

Unfortunately this resort does not have a lazy river.
JeannieCC
sort of. The pool makes a circle but doesn't really flow. Its fun to float around though.
goodtime52
We had a swimup oceanview room on the lazy river and it was awesome. Glad we paid the extra!

A pier to wander out on and get hypnotized by the point where the blue water meets the azure horizon.
What We'd Change
Cozumel doesn't have as many activities as Cancun. After all, it is an island. But Secrets always has a lot of adult-only activities to keep you entertained.
Why You Should Go
You're just 20 minutes away from the airport so your rockin' vacay will start before you know it.
You're just 15 minutes away from downtown Cozumel. Just a $15 (U.S. dollars) to cab it there.
You can upgrade to Preferred Club which means better rooms, private swimming pool, and much more.
The mysteriously cool Chicen Itza and Coba Ruins are a short hop away. (Ooo-ahhh).
Lit tennis courts. Woot!
You can improve your game on an 18-hole golf course designed by the great Jack Nicklaus.
The largest beachfront in Cozumel is out back.
You can try you hand at kayaking, Hobie cats and water volleyball - don't be shy. Dive in!
Bring your aqua shoes - the beach is like finely ground seashells.
Most restaurants require men to wear long pants and no flip flops.
Probably no going shirtless or tank tops, unless you're a male Abercrombie model.
