Imagine this: you are on a float in an infinity pool with no apparent end in sight, drifting between sweet dreaming and restful waking. You open one eye and see it in the distance: the turquoise ocean and azure sky - they are as one. You don't know where one begins and the other stops, this heart-stopping hue of heavenly blue. Is this an adult beverage-induced illusion?
No. This bliss, this Beach Nirvana is real. And you can enter in to it.

Secrets PV
Second visit...Always a great time!! Friendly staff always there for whatever you may need!! Will recommend and will be back!!
In all of our 70 plus years this is undoubtedly the BEST VACATION EVER. It was every thing we hoped for and much more. The staff at Secrets was amazing. They not only would tell you where something was, they took you there personally. The food was outstanding and the service was outstanding. We would completely recommend this vacation to anyone and everyone.
The only thing we would do different would be to choose a different airline. The airline was horrible. Going through Dallas Ft. Worth was a nightmare that we will never do again.
My husband and I went for 5 days 4 night. Resort was good, pools were nice. Spa was really nice inside. One of the days we were here was raining and the hotel held all the activities indoors which was very entertaining, there was a mariachi band, dancers, casino, appetizers and much more in the lobby, it felt good seeing the hotel cares you having a good time despite of the rain, we also went to the spa as it was indoors. Everything was good in our trip except for the beach. The current is very strong, there are a lot of people trying to sell you stuff, the sand is rocky and hurts your feet. Literally nobody is in the beach bc is so ugly. If you spend all your time in the pools, restaurants and spa, it's perfect.
Overall, if you want some luxury and pampering, this was a great deal. You never had to lift a finger, everyone was happy to bring you whatever your heart desired. I had never stayed at a place like this before and now am assured that I prefer more realism and connection.
Pros:
- Staff were friendly, helpful
- Food everywhere - the little buffet in our “Preferred Club” lobby was always delicious
- Adult beverages everywhere and then some - bar in almost every lobby, servers to fetch you a drink when at the beach or pool, room service to deliver if you ran out of your mini bar, etc.
- Rooms were classy and had great A/C.
- Comfy, firm beds
- There’s a department store just outside the resort, across the street. Better to go there than pay $20 for sunscreen at the resort convenience store.
- Quick and easy bus ride to the Malecon and Zona Romantica areas.
- No kids!
- We upgraded our last night to one of the 7th floor rooms with its own pool. Ahhhhhhmazing. This was what we were looking for - quiet, fantastic view, could barely hear the thumping of the music from the pool area.
Cons:
- EVERYONE, except servers, was trying to sell you something. Spa services, tours, an upgraded room, etc. It was exhausting to always be on guard.
- The non-hotel folks who work the beach selling whatnot were relentless. The hotel has someone keeping an eye to make sure there wasn’t too much harassment but there were dozens of sellers (just trying to make a living, which I totally understand), and every few seconds someone was yelling to get your attention. Not exactly relaxing beach time.
- There was no Mexican culture within the resort, despite being staffed almost entirely by locals. It was entirely catered to white people, which was disappointing. There wasn’t even a Mexican restaurant!
- The outdoor music started at 8am and went to 11pm. I love music but don’t want a constant barrage. Sometimes I want to listen to the waves or my husband talking. The entire pool area, which all hotel rooms border, is sprinkled with speakers. The music is fairly ambient until about 10am when all of the pool/manufactured fun started being promoted. Then it was all euro-electronic thumping until the 80s/90s cover bands started their nightly sets. Can’t we at least get a mariachi band up in here?
- So. Many. Woo. Girls and Dude-Bros. Once the pools close, things are a little more manageable at the ground level, though.

My impression was mostly couples, but there were some singles either traveling together or college-age with their parents. Good percentage of Canadians and Mexicans vacationing here. We met some nice people who we wanted to spend time with at the pool and later each evening. The all-inclusive concept made it easy to hang together with no worries about who was "buying" the next round.
ChicagoCouple
Almost all couples.
BonBon63
We didn't run into any single people down there.

mostly couples
Redginger
I really don't know. I traveled with my adult daughter. Maybe more couples than singles when we traveled in October
bestbubbe
It would depend on when you go. Spring break or Summer time would probable be better if your looking to meet singles. but in late January when I went there were very few single people there.

I really only saw couples or groups of people.
1 single per every 5 couples

What is the pool like for the junior suite swimout?10 answers
Is it a private pool? Or does it just provide direct access to the public pool? Are these rooms ground level or higher levels? Thank you!
6 years, 78 months ago

We recommend checking with the hotel directly for the most up-to-date information. You may reach them via email at: info.sevpv@secretsresorts.com or by calling 1-800-GOSECRETS.
BILLCC
The jr swim out pools share the pool with about 5 other suites. It's not private. The pool is on it's own and doesn't get any sun until the afternoon. The other thing someone who was staying in one said was that the pool was really warm. Not refreshing until later in the night.
evesf
It's neither private nor a part of the main pool. It's basically shared with a couple other swim-out suites. Maybe two or three others. It's a fairly small shared area, but not quite private. They are located on the ground level. The preferred suites are on higher levels and include balcony hot tubs.
Raptorous
The swim out pools are private pools for the lower level rooms. They run the length of the building and shared by everyone on the ground level. They do not connect to any of the other pools. I think the sweet on the top of the preferred tower had a private pool, but not positive.
tthomas201
yes it is a private pool but they are on the ground level only
joemal5
They are shared private pools. Ground floor only. In other words, its a strip of pool right off your patio that you share with all your neighbors--but are off limits to the public.
TehPhisherman
The swim out suites had a private pool. It was separate and not connected to the public pools. These rooms are ground level.
tish26
These rooms are ground level and do not provide any privacy. All of the swimout rooms are in the shade full time. I would not recommend for the $
Scooter10
The junior swim out is a garden level. The pool is pretty private and is only shared by the four rooms on that level.
MikeyC
Don't know, I have never stayed in one.
Badnews
The swim out suite has a pool shared with a few other rooms, does not connect to the larger pools. But seemed very nice and well maintained.

Can you walk to any sandy beaches nearby???5 answers
6 years, 76 months ago
seahawks
There are beaches near this particular resort.
CoryCC
the resort is on the beach but if you want to go to another beach you will need to take a taxi
joemal5
There are two types of sand on the beach in front of secrets. 1. the imported sand, which is soft and nice. and 2. The native sand which really isn't sand--more live gravel--and I don't recommend trying to walk on it without shoes.
TehPhisherman
There is a beach directly in front of the resort. It isn't a white sand beach though. I found the sand a bit rough on my feet.
MikeyC
The beach itself is sandy but it is rocky right at water. Seemed to be that way on nearby beaches also. Recommend wearing water shoes.

Most resorts have a designated outside area which allows smoking.

Walk a few steps to the beach. Probably the best place for that.

You can smoke everywhere except the spa area ~ from what I observed

She can smoke in many places like on the balcony, any of the outside areas including near the pools and bars.

People smoking in the common areas such as lobby and outdoors at pool. Also saw smoking on balconies.

Do you have to drink bottled water at this resort and what about the ice in the drinks?10 answers
5 years, 72 months ago
chicago
You don't have too, but they recommend you do for comfort reasons! I drank plenty of mixed drinks with their ice and had no problems!
TandT2013
The water and the ice at the resort is fine to drink. We advise that you drink bottled water when not on the resort property. For more information please contact the resort directly at www.secretsresorts.com.
LisaCC
They pretty much serve bottle water everywhere. I drank my drinks with ice and it was fine. There was an American who we met that was responsible for selling time shares at the resort and he told us that since the hotel is new and has new piping that you could drink from the tap there and it would be fine.
vacationmaster
You don't have to, they purify their water. My wife and I drank the water at the restaurants and ice with no issues
Fdstang89
We did not have any problems with the water in the resort. It is a very clean resort and very high quality. They do have plenty of bottled water available though.
MikeyC
No, the water is adequately filtered as is the ice.
Sprat
Nobody Sick, even downtown Puerto Vallarta. Water is safe for Americans...
SuperDave61
no, all ice & water is filtered, however they give you as much bottled water as you want
usuallycruise
I drank bottled water which was everywhere and I had no problem with the ice in the drinks

Yes, but the bottles are readily available and free. The room information says tap water is fine for showers and brushing your teeth. I usually rinse my mouth and toothbrush well with bottled water when I'm done brushing.

Both the Preferred Club Jr. Suite Garden View and Preferred Club Jr. Suite Ocean View include a jacuzzi and jacuzzi tub.
BethCC
my room in the preferred club tower had both.

If you upgrade to the Private Tower, Jr Suite Ocean View there is a hot tub on the balcony. Not very private ~
Scooter10
Some balconies have jacuzzis but not all. The bottom floors had swim up pools.
AngCarol
yes it does
thaliam1
In the room there is a jacuzzi tub and in the preferred area there are jacuzzis on the balcony

This depends on your suite. It should be in the description.

We're a gay couple, we had no issues with being openly gay in the hotel. Most of the entertainers seem to be flamboyantly gay

I heard from another couple there that it was not worth it. We did the regular booking and our room was perfect. I would save your money.
pcklr
Depends what you want. The downstairs bar and snacks was a nice perk. We never used the jacuzzi on the balcony. The additional concierge service was helpful. If i did this again i would choose a swim out room on the ground floor. That is a fun thing to do if you have a group of friends, then you can invite them over. We were there for our daughter's wedding and two guests upgraded to adjoining swim out rooms. These became a popular venue for the party!
ocean7
Yes
because there is a hot tub on the balcony and a small food and bar on the bottom floor
No
because the in-room WiFi is very spotty and we were not able to connect the majority of the time
They will only provide you with 4 beers a day
They will only provide you with one airplane size liquor bottle each day in your room
With virtually no WiFi and little in-room alcohol (not as portrayed) not sure if the total price increase difference was worth it.
FrequentBeachTraveller
Not that we could see. But evidently the 'Preferred Status' provides you a personal butler. But we weren't told that until the day before we left. The 'private lounge' is tiny. The food sits out all day and isn't that special.

It does not. If you have any further questions, you may contact the resort directly or call and speak to one of our Beachologists at 1-800-915-2322.
TimCC
No, but the beach is pretty rocky
Marebare
There is no steep grade to beach water. However, the beach water is not safe for vacationers to enjoy.
Beachbumdl
No. The beach which is part of the resort is not very deep. Beyond that is the public beach area which does has a slope to it and is also not very deep before you get to the water. The resort's beach is separated from the public beach by a rope.

No steep angle but LOTS of rocks!

Is Adult Only 18+ or do you have to be 21?5 answers
I am wondering if the hotel (adult-only) means 18+ or is it 21?
2 years, 31 months ago
Aubss
18+
CCGreg
I believe it is actually 25 & and over.
Shabob
Per the sign on the outside of the building, adult is 18+.
VacationerAZ
18+ but it's mostly a lot older. But they share the resort with Now that allows families. (Which was a big surprise for us for our honeymoon) they keep it pretty well separated for the pool and beach, but there are some restaurants on the now side that you'll want to go to.
Bmp17
18+

lobsterstatus90
Yes. The Secrets side has access to Now/Amber, but the Secrets side is available only to Adults (18+).
VacationerAZ
I believe so BUT you can ask when you get there. We were there as a couple and never wanted to leave our side until we went to the board walk for a few hours.
Ramirez
Yes, you can. Several of the restaurants are on the now side.

Must you be a preferred member to have access to both this resort and the NOW Amber resort or is that included in the normal booking.?5 answers
2 years, 30 months ago
Kansas
Guests at Secrets Vallarta Bay have free flow access to an additional seven restaurants, five bars, and facilities at nearby Now Amber. You do not need to be a Preferred Club member to have this access.
JeannieCC
We were told that anyone staying on the Secrets side could visit the Now Amber Resort. You did not have to be a Preferred Club member.
Newleywed67
No, you have access to both resorts with any booking. Unless you have children then you wouldn't have access to the Secrets side.
MsCoray
No. You can access both! Only limitation would be if you were staying at NOW, your kids can't come to Secrets.
Mtbeyonce
That is included in the normal. The Preferred has the benefit of a bar all its own, check in and check out desk only for the Preferred guests so quicker service, lounge area with tables, couches & tv and mini breakfast buffet, lunch & dinner snacks.

Where's the best room?5 answers
I've heard the preferred club doesn't get much sun? Is it worth the upgrade to stay there? I'm trying to decide on my room.
Thanks,
Robyn
2 years, 30 months ago
Robyn
The amount of sun depends on room location, view, etc. As for as whether the upgrade is worth it is purely based on opinion. The preferred club does get upgraded amenities:
Enjoy the fully equipped bathroom with premier amenities, free in-suite Internet and a daily refreshed upgraded mini-bar. Plus, with the Preferred Club, you'll also get a private lounge, daily continental breakfast, afternoon hors d'oeuvres with desserts and fine liquors, complimentary newspaper, concierge service and VIP status.
JeannieCC
It is worth the quality drinks and buffet
JulieMR
The Preferred tower faces north. The regular adults-only tower faces due west, so you would get the afternoon and evening sun into your balcony and room. Because the resort is built in a "C" shape, much of the patio area is shaded until mid-morning. (The family area faces the Preferred Tower, but the two areas are separated by the pools and greenery.)
VacationerAZ
My boyfriend and I had the junior ocean suit view and it was AMAZING! We loved everything about it. We thought about upgrading when we arrived but didn't and had decided upon leaving we were glad we didn't spend the extra (lot of extra) money.
AshleyTheresa
Hard to say. We didn't upgrade because it was an extra $200+ a day. However others mentioned they booked the preferred room online prior and there wasn't much price difference. We loved our standard king room in the main tower and didn't feel like we were missing out.

Dining beneath a palapa at the Oceana (delish seafood), soaking in the epic ocean view and purr of the surf.
The magnificent infinity pool with swim-up bar (service is fast!) and outside Jacuzzi.
What We'd Change
On-site dining is tasty, but options can feel limited without the local flair of a Mexican-themed restaurant. Of course, since the resort is near the boardwalk you still have plenty of access to the local cuisine.
Why You Should Go
It's a short hop to El Malecon, a mile-long boardwalk full of shopping, restaurants and bars.
Playa Quimixto, an isolated beach you can only get to by boat, is perfect for some privacy, peace and quiet.
Bucerias, a laid back town just north of PV, is also good for escaping the clamor of crowds.
Secrets Vallarta Bay PV is Rainforest Alliance Certified. Big kudos.
