Jul 17, 2025Wonderful experiance despite of the pools repairs
The property is beautiful and food was very good. The whole team of the preferred lounge was very attentive. Our personal butler, Jose Becerra, was constantly in communication, answering our questions, accommodating our needs and making reservations for dinners. That was our first time staying at Secrets and we loved it!

Jul 16, 2025Do not stay here July 1-August 15, 2025
Do NOT come here right now. The main pool by the ocean is under construction and there is jack hammering happening all day. As a result, they have a huge barrier set up so you can’t even see the ocean at all from the only pool that is still open. They are blasting music to try and cover up the sound. It doesn’t work. They make no mention of this on their website, when you book or even when you check in. I was told construction started July 1 and would be wrapped by August 15, 2025. So if you are scheduling a time to come in that window, I’d cancel. Truly. My wife and I checked in and then checked out in 1 hour. They didn’t fight it at all because they know it’s bad. Lots of good options in PV. This isn’t one at the moment.

Great food, Great staff and service
Secrets Vallarta Bay was a great experience. This is our third all inclusive resort we've tried and compared to the others we've tried, this was great. We opted for the "preferred club" rooms/experience which gives you access to a separate building with your own personal concierge, bar, and lounge. While we didn't use the bar/lounge much, our personal concierge, Jose, was amazing. We could book reservations through him, ask him all sorts of questions, and he proactively texted us all the activities within the resort for the day. That experience alone made the preferred club upgrade worth it. The other thing I'll say, the food was extremely good compared to other all inclusives we've tried. In my experience, the buffet is usually a rehash of what the other restaurants on site off but here, the buffet genuinely offered different foods and themes each day. It was perfect for breakfasts and lunches. The more formal spots like the hibachi and french restaurants were nothing short of amazing. Overall, we really enjoyed our time here and we'll be exploring more secrets/dreams resorts in the future.

Jul 15, 2025Great Service, But Disrupted Stay
While the food and service during our stay were truly excellent and very much appreciated, we were disappointed to find that there was only one adult pool — something we weren’t informed about prior to arrival. What made things worse was the constant construction noise throughout the entire week, which significantly impacted our ability to relax. We had chosen this trip for a peaceful getaway, and had we known about the disruption in advance, we might have made different arrangements. We hope future guests will be notified of such circumstances ahead of time.

- AdvisoryStarting July 1 the main pool and hot tub will undergo renovations, including tile and deck updates. Phase one (until July 20) may involve noise and minor dust, while phase two (July 21–August 28) will have intermittent noise. Temporary walls and work hours (10:00 AM–7:00 PM) will minimize disruptions. The entertainment pool will remain open, with extra lounge chairs available. All poolside activities will relocate there for guest enjoyment. We appreciate your patience during this upgrade.
