Imagine this: everything around you is without a blemish. The water is unnaturally blue (but it's real, trust us), the sand feels (and looks) like you're walking on baby powder, there is no limit on how many top-shelf margaritas you can order (good, because you're not driving) and the only thing that is on your schedule is a facial that includes caviar. Did you just teleport yourself to Eden?
No, this is you reveling at a fantasy-come-true, five-sun haven in the exotic, natural beauty of the Yucatan Peninsula.

Great Value!
I absolutely loves Secrets The Vine Cancún. The service is impeccable and they have their operations well thought out. The rooms are so luxurious. I opted for the run of the house package and we got a really nice room with a HUGE terrace, I mean huge! It can fit ten people on it easily with plenty of space. We had a great view of the ocean and everything. The maid service cleans twice a day, how cool! Room service is 24 hours, men have a more stricter dress code for the restaurants. I love that there is a store in the hotel. It’s like CVS met a cute retail clothing store. They have everything you need right in the hotel. The restaurants have great food and service. I really enjoyed breakfast and the Blue Grill. The ONLY CON I have about the hotel is the “VIP Services” staff aka TIMESHARE staff. They will tell you that they’re not timeshare people but they are. Some of the staff can be quite aggressive even when you’ve already turned them down. That’s the vibe though in Cancun, especially at the flea market. These people are super aggressive and it can ruin the experience sometimes. Other than that, I highly recommend Secrets!

Very highly recommend
My husband and I went to Cancun for our honeymoon, through Cheap Caribbean and I can easily say it was well worth every penny.
The resort we stayed at was very clean and so well kept. The service was absolutely amazing, as we were frequently being checked on and made sure we had anything/everything we needed. We upgraded to the preferred club, which I highly recommend doing. This gave us the ability to have a private check in, a butler, a roof top pool and a few other amenities. Our room had an amazing view and was extremely clean/well kept. The pools are great and the beach is amazing. I read tons of reviews saying that there's seaweed and debris along the beach, making it less attractive. I couldn't disagree with that more. The beach was absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. Yes there was some seaweed, but not enough to even have an impact. The number one reason I would give this trip for being a 10/10, is hands down the service. I have nothing but good things to say about the staff at Secrets the Vine. An example of the great service: I was in the gym working out in a somewhat secluded area where there are bikes. I was doing pushups on my knees and the man working in the gym took notice of this and brought me a yoga mat and a towel. Again, the staff there is phenomenal! The spa was great and I highly recommend visiting it if you want to relax and pamper yourself. If I had to say anything negative, it would only be that the food choices/restaurants are not extremely wide, but we were also there a full week. Had we been there less time, I wouldn't have minded at all. Overall, this was an amazing trip and I will absolutely book my next beach vacay with Cheap Caribbean!
Some basics about me and my POV.
I'm a man in my 40's that's single and traveled alone.
This was my 3rd trip to Cancun and second by myself.
What I look for in a resort:
Room is clean, in decent shape, and relaxing to spend time in.
My room exceeded my requirements and was literally paradise.
Beachfront for hotel extends all the way to the ocean.
This resort has a roped off area for hotel guests and the remaining distance to ocean is public access. This issue is my largest negative overall for this resort as I didn't really get to enjoy the beach / ocean. It is also the main reason I didn't book this hotel this year.
drink service - Waiters and waitresses to come by at least once an hour while in the lounge chairs.
Another failure on the part of this resort. I don't know if they were short staffed when I was there but I could be on the beach from 11 am to 4 pm and only be asked once if I wanted a beverage.
Meals - breakfast to include eggs, bacon, and coffee with an unobstructed view to the ocean. Lunch as something quick to grab and out of the sun. Dinner with multiple choices from all cultures.
The meals were above average but not as good as the last resort I was at. The coffee was exceptional and I could stay here just for the coffee.
The quality of other vacationers. While the hotel can't exactly control this, good people can make you want to come back.
The age range was perfect and it didn't seem like I was at a retirement home or a college party. There was a good mix of everyone. Did I mention I was single.... the women were beautiful and sexy. I just wish there were more single women there. The resort seemed to cater more to couples.
The last item I look for is low on my list but would definitely effect my decision to return. - Nightlife at the hotel
Ideally I'd like an area with a bar that specifically caters to singles. It would open after the evenings main event and close at 1 am.
This resort has multiple bars that are open late but I never felt welcome and felt out of place by all the couples hanging out.
Very spacious beautiful beach wonderful staff that can’t do enough
for you! Breakfast buffet - one of the best! Food is good- just
wish there was more offerings on the menu- (they are the same
every night) Blue grille steak house is great, the mexican
restaurant- skip! No shopping in the resort just 1 little
boutique- The pools are beautiful- get there early - cause
people get up at 6 am to mark there chairs - (really didn’t like
that they could hold a chair/ or cabanas all day!
Overall it was a great vacation- a little pricey for only 4 days
But i would definitely recommend!

Junior Suites typically offer a bit of a larger room that the Deluxe, the decor may be a little different, or the rooms may be on specific floors--this varies from resort to resort and comes down to the price range you are comfortable in.
LaurenCC
yes, I believe it was extra $35/day and I booked it at the front desk, higher floor with awesome views, access to an additional pool and bar and lounge, access to one spa day too.
gowithflo
I got a deluxe room and I would book that again
1vacationer
IMHO It was, we got the Jr. Preferred suite. The only thing a step up would be the 2 rm suite (forget the name) but for the amount of time we spent in the room over our 8 day stay, we didnt feel it was nec.
TeamSlopala
We were going to upgrade to the honeymoon sweet for an extra $100 per night but it faces the lagoon and it does not give you the premier benefits. We had a deluxe room and it was more than what we needed.

I don't think so, but there is what was described to us a a large shopping area a mere 5 minutes away by taxi. We didn't go, but that is what an employee of The Vine told me.
HappyLady20
No not really. You need to take the bus, but they run right in front of the resort every few minutes (easy and affordable).
sunandsurflover
Yes, one in walking distance and several other via bus. Buses come by often and it is only $1 each way.
Dgauv
You could walk to the mall but it's a hike. Pay the buck and take the bus

there is a shopping complex, but its about 3-4km away. There is a bus stop about a block from the resort, and it's only ~$1 to ride each way, I'd recommend that over walking it

About 10 minutes away. Need to take a bus (very easy and affordable) or taxi. The resort also sets up nightclub transportation .
sunandsurflover
It is further than a walk but they have a great bus system that will get you to town, probably about a 20 minute ride +/- and only $1 each way. I believe the hotel may offer a group bus to night clubs for a fee but don't quote me on that - check with them in advance if it is important to you.
Dgauv
not far. just hope on the bus it's only a $1.00 one way, the hotel will tell you where they go and what bus to take. It's not complicated at all

Is snorkeling included in this hotel?6 answers
I've heard the ocean can be a little rough at the resort, but the resort states that they have snorkeling included in the "all-inclusive".
6 years, 84 months ago
Mr Mendez
I'm not sure if it is or not. I do know it comes with some of the tour packages, but if the water is too rough, they will not let you go for safety reasons.
Truffle45
Snorkeling excursions are available at an additional cost.
CaitlinCC
No--water sports and snorkeling are virtually impossible due to how rough the ocean is. We had red flag warnings the entire time we visited, so you could swim at your own risk. The sea was definitely rough--fun to play in, but too rough for snorkeling. We never saw a single jet ski or anyone actually "swimming" in the ocean.
baseballmom73
The ocean is ruff ....red flag everyday....not sure on the snorkeling being all inclusive but you can book many excersions through the hotel and I'm sure they will take you to a calmer area

It was a very low-key resort for the most part. I probably wouldn't go there for a bachelorette party, I would want somewhere with more music and possibly closer to town.
However, if you're looking to unwind and relax (but still drink your face off) this could be a good option.

The Weather app on my phone has shown Cancun to be cloudy pretty much every day for the past two weeks. Is it Ever sunny?2 answers
We're going in September. What's the weather in Cancun typically like?
6 years, 79 months ago
WashDC
Mexico is considered to have a tropical climate, much like the Caribbean. The weather forecast will typically show a 40%-80% chance of rain daily, but usually it is just a passing afternoon shower. The weather is very similar to the weather in Florida.
KristenCC
We went in October. The weather app on the phone showed cloudy every day before we left, but the weather was perfect. Sunny every day (5 days), no rain, hardly any clouds. Weather app is not always accurate.

Just got back from a vacation at this hotel. We met several couples, some to which purchased the preferred club. Let's just say they were at our pool the entire time, and stated it was not worth the extra money. the only benefit was, you get a different pool and several extra items stocked in your mini bar. They said thier pool was too stale and too many older people no fun at all. I hope that helps.

Pool Renovations3 answers
Do you have any more details on the pool renovations? I was one click away from booking my vacation (September 9th-September 14th) and read that section! :( I really don't want to stay at a hotel that the pools are under contruction but really wanted to stay here at Secrets The Vine. Totally bummed!
5 years, 68 months ago

The renovations are considered "light" in comparison to most resort renovations projects. This is taking place during the lighter travel period in order to affect the smallest amount of people. Additionally, since they are only working on 1 pool at a time, it should not impact your stay significantly.
If you have any further questions, please call us at 1.800.915.2322.
SamCC
My wife and I just got back from our stay at Secrets The Vine Cancun (July 24-28) and none of the pools were closed or under any sort of renovation. Now, I don't know if they have a renovation planned for September and haven't started renovating yet. I can tell you that while we were at the resort we no reason why they would renovate any pools because all facilities were in top condition. If you have already planned your trip to another resort in September make sure your next trip to Cancun is at Secrets The Vine. My wife and I really want to go back. Hope this helps.

The editor on the site don't allow me the use specific language to answer you, as some of the terms are restricted so that they are not used as slurs. So trying to make the editor allow this post, I'll say that during our week here, we've met and seen weddings of people from many backgrounds.

Do you have gluten free options?2 answers
4 years, 58 months ago
Coco
I don't have any food allergies so I can't comment specifically on gluten free. However, I believe you would have these because at every restaurant we ate in the resort we were specifically asked about food allergies. At the Hibachi grill they made special accommodations for a guy next to us who had allergies to onions (i.e. cooked his food separately and without onions).
DURL002
Almost every time that we went to one of the 7 restaurants at Secrets the Vine Resort in Cancun, the hostess or waiter would ask if either one of us had food allergies. I also noticed that at the breakfast buffet (which was huge and awesome!), they did offer gluten-free bread.

Secrets the Vine is a gated property at which only guests or people who pay for a day pass can be there. Safety of the guests is always the number one concern when staying at any of these properties.

If there isn’t an option for it when your wanting to book it is probably already booked, I figured that out when I was trying to book a date and then changed the date and it was available then.
Kennygil
You will have to upgrade once you get there, or call them directly. They speak very good English.

Room Information
Secrets The Vine Resort and Spa Cancun features 497 guest rooms equipped with a furnished patio or terrace and views of the Caribbean Sea and Laguna Nichupte. Rooms come expertly appointed with a sofa, safety deposit box, 24-hour room service, 42" satellite TV, complimentary Wi-Fi and daily refreshed mini bar.
As of June 2018 you can bring your furry friend along!
Being greeted with cold towels and champagne - a refreshing way to remove that travel gunk and get vacay-ing.
The luxurious, chic architecture (sleek, white, boxy) that awakens your inner rock star.
Divine suites (think Architectural Digest) with private balconies or terraces boasting stunning vistas of teal surf.
Some rooms have double rain shower heads. (You'll feel like royalty).
Stress-busting, melt-into-the-sand spa that offers side-by-side couples massages on the beach.
The Seaweed Wrap (all that messy stuff that washes up on the beach is good for something).
Private concierges and butlers are available - you can really milk this whole royalty thing if you want.
Secrets box for private room service delivery - you don't ever have to see a human if you don't want to.
It's Foodie Friendly: there are gluten-free items on the menu, wine (3,000 + labels) and tequila tastings, and more.
If you upgrade to the Preferred Club, there's a plethora of Mediterranean delicacies to be had at Olio, a hot grub spot.
What We'd Change
Bars on the property close at 1am or earlier--a challenge for dedicated night owls. If you're hankering for some fun until the sun's up, legendary Cancun nightlife is only a short cab ride away.
Why You Should Go
Only 15 minutes away from the airport - you'll be there before you blink any eye to start the margaritas and shots.
Swimming with the darling dolphins is near at Isla Mujeres.
Cabs to downtown Cancun for your evening festivities are pricey - there are buses available for just a buck.
Get up early to reserve the coveted, dreamy cabanas - they go quickly.
Upgrade to Preferred Club, get better rooms, a private pool, and exquisite desserts/fine liquors and more.
For adventure buffs (or those with crippling sunburns), Mayan Ruins are not far away.
13 Golf Courses (your lucky 13) are near for your latent Tiger Woods.
Food at the airport is high (seems they're quite proud of their average fare), so pack your own superior snacks.
There's deep-sea fishing, horseback riding & Euro-bungee (you're a human slingshot, but you don't go flying off into space).
Cigar rolling (don't tire yourself out!), dance lessons and much more - the list goes on and on.
