Secrets Maroma Riviera Cancun beach has been named a a Rainforest Alliance Certified Hotel and won The Noble Beach Prize for the Best Beach Bliss, 2017!
Put this in your mind: you're lounging on the glistening sand with your favorite chilled cocktail. What used to be the sound of office chatter and kids is replaced with the purr of teal waves.

My love for Secrets is no secret
Secrets Maroma was paradise! The grounds are breathtaking, the food is delicious and plentiful, and the spa/hydrotherapy experience will not be forgotten.
We were always at ease.
First of all, how can you not be totally relaxed at an adults-only resort! I love my kids, but hearing no whining/crying/screaming over who plays Forte Nite--is what I call paradise. We went at the end of August when the resort was not at full capacity. So there was always a beach hut/chairs waiting for us and never a wait to be seated at restaurants. No reservations are necessary - so I didn't have to lock us into scheduled eating times. That's a vacation in itself - being that our lives revolve around our kids' crazy schedules!
The room was as breathtaking as our view.
Recently renovated, the room was exactly what I hoped for. Dim, warm lighting, upgraded bathroom with hot tub, and comfortable balcony with pool/partial ocean view. There is no need to upgrade to the Preferred Club for the direct ocean view. Also, I am picky when it comes to hotel rooms - and I get grossed out easily. This room smelled clean and fresh (not musty) and the sound-proofing was fantastic. Did not hear any outside noises. The last thing I want is noise during the middle of the night - after all, I could've stayed home with my kids for that!
You must overlook the seaweed on the beach.
Lots of seaweed collects by the shoreline... they are constantly trying to address that, so I can't blame the resort. Other resorts on the beach had the same problem. However, if you don't want guys scooting around on tractors trying to remove it - you may want to stay near the pool (which is gorgeous - and where most people stayed). We chose the beach, which was still perfect for us.
One thing I would change.
Once you go through the check-in process, a pushy Secrets employee takes you to a small table and literally shoves a sales presentation down your throat. Basically, you need to commit to an 1.5-hour breakfast the next day and you'll get $500 in spa credit. (I seem to doubt you get a $500 lump sum, as the credits I received in my original package needed to be dispersed out for different treatments. For example, the $40 I got in spa credits could only be used as $10 off for each spa purchase. Thanks for nothing! (When a basic massage costs $190 - they're not really doing you any favors.) This woman was quite pushy after we declined - and then cornered us 15 minutes later basically asking us why we were so distrustful. I have to admit, this left a bad impression for a 5-star resort. I subsequently loved my stay - and would go again. I'm telling my friends about it. I'm giving an overall positive review here. So they don't need to harass you like that when you walk in. It's cheesy and contrary to the relaxed feel you should have when you walk into a resort.
Though in a nutshell - I hope to go back next year!
Beautiful resort . Beach loaded with grass could not even get in the water! Food preparation very poor got sick as dogs after the first day!!!!!! Spent the entire week in the room.

If you have already booked a vacation package with CheapCaribbean.com, please call into our reservation center and an agent would be able to assist you with the most up to date pricing and information on upgrading to the Preferred Club. If you have not yet booked with us, you can choose to upgrade your room to the Preferred Club at the time of booking on our web site.
KristinCC
Join the Unlimited Vacation Club with AMResorts. The only other way is to have preferred status with RCI and trade for a week.
KaraokePhil
When you make your reservations only certian rooms like Ocean view are listed as prefered club. The term is listed in the discription of the room.
clykken
Either email the concierge or ask when you get there.
hardtoplease
I would suggest emailing Cheap Caribbean prior to your trip or speaking with your concierge once you arrive. Each building has their own concierge.
englishteacher11
To upgrade you have to pay. Just ask the front desk at check in, or call ahead before your trip.
Kevin45318
We've discovered that this can be done only through the initial reservation. Any changes that need to be made will be acknowledged, but not followed through.
Our initial comments were submitted back in 2010 and do not give us the option for new comments.
The resort intially was outstanding. However, on our 3rd visit, we make the follwing recommendations: Cushions on the resort/beach area need replacing. They've become old and uncomfortable and need to be replaced. The service throughout the pool/beach area has become vacant, unless you were "tip" friendly. Resort initiated a "SmartRoom" approach that directs rooms to shut off electricity with no movement in the room. I got sick and became bed-ridden, electricity shut off numoursly......very disappointing......
TV reception was non-existent....snowy, Spanish speaking only, etc.

Is the secrets eternity honeymoon package worth the difference between getting a preferred club room vs. a regular room (aka saving $350)?3 answers
My fiance and I are planning our honeymoon at Secrets Maroma and are wondering if the secrets eternity honeymoon package is worth it and if we should splurge $350 to get the preferred club room to be eligible for it. Overall, do you think PC is worth it?
6 years, 76 months ago
John
The Preferred Club offers upgraded and additional amenities that are not offered in the standard room categories. If you are looking for the most enjoyable and memorable experience then the Preferred Club may be a good option for you.
KristenCC
If you use the spa more than 2 times it is well worth staying in the PC.
Boziggy
Not worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You still have internet access in the main lobby.

Are there good options for vegetarian food (no seafood, no meat)?5 answers
6 years, 76 months ago
John
The restaurants do offer a variety of meal options. If you have specific dietary concerns, I would recommend contacting the resort directly.
KateHCC
Yes, they do have good vegiterian options
MHammer
Every restaurant had vegetarian options.
dkpmdp
So glad you asked this! I am a pescetarian so thankfully there were a few options for me but please be warned the majority of the food at the resort is MEAT MEAT MEAT and MORE MEAT. The refried beans have pork lard in them so avoid! They even put cut up pork in the mashed potatoes - ugh. That said if you're a good vegetarian (unlike me) there was lots of fresh veggies and fruits. But I have to admit I would not be thrilled to pay the prices for the few veggie options if I didn't eat the seafood. In other words a strict veg would be left with rice, potatoes, salad, fruit.
MandalaGal
we heard people asking for vegetarian and they seemed very happy with their options.

Unfortunately, this resort is not a good place to look for seashells. They do daily sweeps of the beach.
KristenCC
No. Beach is kept very clean
MHammer
It is one of the best beaches, but there are no shells....
traveler101
no shells on beach. just soft velveety sand everywhere!
gigi007
No, there were no shells that I saw. Our friends found a small piece of coral but that was all. The beaches are made of powdery sand that never gets hot. It is amazing.

We did not snorkeling and while we were not specifically looking for shells we do not recall seeing any to be picked up. :-(

Does this resort offer top shelf drinks, such as Grey Goose, Malibu Run, Corona, etc?8 answers

Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun may stock these brands, however the brands of beverages offered may vary. We do suggest contacting the resort directly for a more current list of beverages available during your stay.
MellissaCC
Most of the Bars they do
MHammer
Yes they have top shelf liquor.
Boziggy
Not at the outdoor/beach/pool bars
traveler101
yes my friend ordered grey goose but it wasnt shown on bar shelf. Had to ask for it, but they had it. MAlibu Rum and corona yes also
gigi007
Yes! They have everything and will make you anything as strong as you want.
crozpetal1
Yes, my husband ordered top shelf drinks and got them. There was Corona in the mini-bar and available at the pools, as well as other good local beers. He drank Modelo at the pool most days. The beer were usually served in cans while we were there. He also ordered bourbon and coke (general) and watched them mix it with Johnny Walker green label rather then using what we would consider sub-par bourbon. We observed several people get martinis made with Grey Goose, as they had specified.
DreamOn
Yes!! All top shelf liquor which is why we chose it. Also the food is top notch as well! Better than any other place!

Is it "safe" to leave your valuables in the safe?6 answers
I've read reviews from other resorts where people had valuables stolen out of the safe in their room!
6 years, 74 months ago
Memphis
We always advise clients to place all valuables in the safe in their room. Most safes are actually maintained by an outside company, which means that most employees of the resort do not have access to them.
KristinCC
Very Safe. The staff make you feel right at home.
MHammer
Absolutely! We used the safe every time we left our room and had no problems whatsoever. It is digital so you enter whatever code you want to. No staff has access to the code although I am sure they have a way of getting into it if something goes wrong. We were encouraged by our transportation driver and check in staff to use the safe for our protection.
Takeinasiesta
Yes
LindaB
yes it is safe. The whole resort felt very safe. The staff were the most
helpful we have ever met and they really seemed happy to do
anything for you without an attitude.
crozpetal1
Yes. Definitely. The staff is respectful and seem to be responsible. The safe is standard just as you would find in other hotels.

The answer to your question depends on where you are originating from. The Riviera Maya is located south of Cancun, from Puerto Morales to Punta Allen.
KateHCC
30 miles south of Cancun
MHammer
It was 35 minutes from the Cancun Airport.
dkpmdp
Secrets Maroma is right in the heart of Mayan Riviera - half way between Cancun and Playa Del Carmen. It's a $20 taxi and about 30 minutes to Playa Del Carmen.

Richland
just a few miles from Cancun, (that's where you fly into). A taxi drive may take you 25-40 minutes depending on your resort. We chose to take a private taxi from the airport and also for the return trip and it was about $115.00 for 4 people round trip. No issues.

As with all travel, inside or outside of the U.S., we recommend our clients keep their wits about them. Our resorts in Mexico do hire employees to check reservations prior to entry and our mutual clients safety is of utmost importance to us, our vendors, and our resorts. If you decide to sightsee while in Mexico, we recommend booking your excursions with us and keeping with the group.
LaurenCC
absolutely. the resort is very safe, and lots of security to get in and out of the resort.
Mushins
My wife and I felt safe the entire trip. However, we never left the resort. Two years ago, we went to a different resort, and took a short trip into the Cancun market. It turned out to be a tourist trap, it was a little unnerving but we never felt threatened. The Cancun airport seemed very safe, and everyone there was extremely friendly.
sgaard
You would be fine. We just like to stay at the resort and relax but we know people who got a cab and went shopping in Playa Del Carmen
and did tours in Tulum and had a great time and felt safe.
crozpetal1
We felt perfectly safe. We took a chartered van from the airport, and the resort itself sits well back from the road, and has a security gate. I would not rent a car and drive around myself, but felt more than safe at the resort.
stlbarb
We felt very safe at the resort. I even walked alone at times and always felt comfortable. It is secluded and there is fairly tight security at the gate of the resort. When we were boarding the shuttle to go the airport when our vacation had ended a person from the shuttle that was from another resort wanted to use the bathroom. She was not allowed to enter the lobby. They know their guests and always look out for them. The Cancun airport was well staffed by police. Our transport to the hotel had been prearranged through Cheep Caribbean and was right there to escort us to our hotel. Stay away from the counters and people in the airport as your leave the baggage area. They look legitimate but are trying to sell you on timeshares and false deals. Go directly to the outside of the airport to meet your transport. You will be fine. I felt welcomed and safe at all times.
dkpmdp
we didn't leave the resort, a little nerve racking getting through the Cancun immigration/customs. The trip to the resorts seem to be also a bit stressful, have heard both ends of the extremes...that it is completely safe because it is highly policed as they want to keep tourism safe...while hear it is a targeted area because of the tourism...we had no problems....but again, didn't leave the resort and I felt like we missed something because of that
ChrisR
We traveled from MO and had no trouble. We had a direct flight into Cancun and paid for transportation from the airport to the hotel through Cheap Caribbean. We felt very safe both at the airport and while on the resort. Secrets Maroma is located on a stretch of beach between Cancun and Playa del Carmen, and it seems like it is in a pretty well protected area. There was security coming and going from the resort, and the staff worked hard to ensure guests were not bothered by outside people. We did go in to Playa del Carmen on morning for some shopping, but we stayed on 5th avenue. We didn't feel unsafe, but I would not have felt comfortable wandering around outside of the tourist zone in Playa. We used a taxi to get to and from the hotel for our shopping excursion and had no problems with this either - though driving in Mexico is interesting, in my opinion.
DreamOn
It was completely safe. Most people don't even leave the resort because there is no reason to leave unless you to an excursion. I never once felt unsafe.

This resort is known for its beautiful beach. The water is mostly clear depending on the current weather which can effect on the water clarity.
CaitlinCC
The beach was right by the pool
LindaB
The water was clear. There was a little sand stirred up but it was pretty windy. Even so, the waves were not that big. Personally I thought it was perfect
sgaard
The water is very clear and has a sandy bottom however except for one day of the week we had stayed there the red or yellow flag was
up and the waves were rough so we just stayed at the pool.
crozpetal1
Water was the clearest I have ever seen (almost like a pool). Even after an overnight storm, the water the next morning was clear.
No high waves. Even when they had the "red" flag out, the waves were not high, and no undertow.
stlbarb
The water is clear and a beautiful azure blue. It is very calm because of the reef that is further out from the main swimming area. We went in every day.
dkpmdp
OMG the water is gorgeous! The sand isn't hot either. Last time we stayed at a resort near the airport and the waves were brutal and it was in April. This time, in July, in Rivera Maya, the water was like rippled glass. Ahhh!
BrookesGoing
we went Dec 13 -Dec 17th, it was clean but a bit choppy waves at breaking point, many people were in the water beyond the choppy part and seemed to really be enjoying it. It was calmer a little bit out...really nice beach
ChrisR
The water is super clear, the waves are small and calm. It's a definite Caribbean ocean feel. The beach is beautiful !

SUPER CLEAR. Best beach and water my wife and I have seen.
Small waves year round. The water is only 8ft deep 150 feet out. Super pretty beaches.

As this is an adults only resort they may allow topless sunbathing. Please contact the resort directly.
CaitlinCC
It was only topless friendly at the beach.
Nusia
We were there for 4 days and never saw anyone topless or nude.
sgaard
we were there for a week and never saw anyone topless so I think you would feel out of place . Maybe you should contact the resort itself and ask them what the policy is.
crozpetal1
Technically, yes, I've seen a few topless people at this resort, but it's certainly not the norm. And it may be restricted to the beach only.
otisskavier
No topless bathing is allowed any where.
dkpmdp
no, it would have been very odd to see topless. It was very high class - I think topless would have been totally off at this resort
ChrisR
I didn't see any rules against it, but I also did not see anyone topless. I don't think Mexico is the best place to go for topless.

I did not see anyone topless at the pool or beach.

Topless is not allowed at the pool but is okay on the beach. Did not see many topless.

We were there in July. The water was warm but refreshing. I do not know if they ever need to be heated.

The jacuzzi's are heated, large and gorgeous. The pools are not cold, you get used to them quickly. It is so warm there that there is no need to heat the pools.
BrookesGoing
No, they're warm without it.
KAverill
The pools were not heated but they also close at 6:00 pm so you wouldn't need them to be heated. It's super hot during the day and the refreshing pool water was just the right temp.
MandalaGal
the one where the swim up bar is heated - or at least warmer than the other
ChrisR
All the pools felt warm to me expect the infinity pool which was somewhat cool. Not sure if they were heated or just the sun is so hot there it keeps them all warm

The pools are not heated. They do have two jacuzzies off to the sode of the pool but noone used them because its hot in Cancun.

NettaBea213
You have upgraded liquor brands (Finlandia Vodka, Bacardi Rum, Jack Daniels, etc.) These are all replenished once a day. You have 6 bottles of water at all time with different snacks. I'm not sure how different they are from other mini bars. Yes, they do have a Nespresso Coffee/Tea Maker in the room which was great!
smmcalli
I was preferred club and we had 3 mini bottles in the room. 2 bottles were tequila ( a brand I had never seen before & a bottle of vodka ) however in the preferred club lounge the offer all top shelf drinks along with snacks.. I spent a lot of time in there
Ravennnnnn
They give you some mini bottles in the room. I think it was rum, vodka and whiskey. They replace them when you use it and I think they will leave you extra if you ask. You can also get drinks delivered by room service, but it takes a bit of time. I once ordered a double shot of crown and used it to make drinks in my room. :)
There is a Nespresso in the room with a variety of pods. I think if you ask the building concierge they will leave the kind you like best.

We don't like to go straight to bed after dinner. I would like to know if they have clubs with dj where couples can dance and have a good time. We are looking to book our honeymoon. We are a very fun active couple. We often hear that people have to leave the resorts and go into town at night looking for entertainment/dancing. We don't feel it's safe and can be costly.

Tough how they have so many names for this area. Been here twice...here is my explanation.

There are beach concierges to help find a spot. There are two sets of palapas and plenty of chairs. we never had trouble finding a spot for us to sit in the shade. There was no sense that we needed to rush down in the morning to grab a spot.

Yes, everyone was so friendly her I was completely comfortable. People sitting at the pool or at a restaurant was very easy to talk to meet a people for breakfast & dinner
Nisey1414
Visited here twice as a couple. Both visits saw singles. Not as common as couples, but yes singles looked to have a great time also. Some singles were there for a wedding...saw them at the sports bar, or club later evening time, and all looked happy. This is not a party resort in my opinion, but still many many fun things to do. Hard to be bored here.
EugeneK
I personally would not come here as a single person. Maybe if you had a group of singles coming together but still it is mostly couples celebrating anniversaries or honeymoons. I guess it depends on the reason for the trip. If you are looking to meet other single people, this is not the place to come.

The World Cafe is the buffet option- open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

There is a full spread breakfast/brunch through 11am. Never checked if it turned over into lunch as there was a "Barefoot Barbecue" by the pool that was available all afternoon with grilled food and sides. Also, there was a day where 30 servers came out to the pool offering a wide array of apps and desserts.
Spigoli
There is always a breakfast buffet, lunch buffet and theme dinner buffet. Which the theme dinner buffets are amazing! But then there are 4 more fancy restaurants that you can go choose from as well.

Jet skiing is right on the beach for an addition fee. For ATV and ziplining you would need to buy an Adventure package to the jungle park and its about 35 minutes away. Your fee provides transportation to and from and all the ziplining and Atv rides plus some under water caves and lunch.

Swim-Up Bar in the Swim-Up Room pool?2 answers
I want to book the swim-up room, but from the looks of it this pool doesn't connect to the larger pool with the swim-up bar. Is there bar service/a swim up bar in the swim-up room pool?
2 years, 24 months ago
Carrie
The swim up pools are specific to the building block you are in, they do not connect to the main pool/swim up bar.
CCGreg
You're correct, the room pools are separate from the larger "main" pools. They do not connect, meaning you will have to get out of the pool to go to the swim up bar.

The French restaurant, Bordeaux, has a wine cellar. Not too shabby.
Zip lines, swim with dolphins and eco-adventures are near - there might be a fee, but go for it. You only live once.
Chichen Itza and Coba Ruins are near - both are historical and beguiling.

When you've had enough sun, you can check out archery, dance lessons, and billiards.
