Dec 10, 2025Exceeded our expectations
Secrets Riviera Cancun exceeded our expectations. The staff were amazing. They took care of us the entire trip with a smile on their face. We never waited for a drink. It was nice to have access to the Breathless side and all of their restaurants and entertainment. It was even nicer to have the preferred access to the Secrets side and the VIP bar. Special shout out to Eduardo who was our favorite bartender. Loved watching him make our craft cocktails. Also make sure to eat most of your meals at Rosewater. You can thank me later

Nice hotel, friendly attentive staff!
The resort is very nice as far as rooms, restaurants and pools. If you’re looking for beach experience you will be disappointed as water is very murky and full of seaweed. The staff is extremely good with the guests. Special shout out at Edwardo at the Secrets side preferred club bar. No matter how many people were at the bar he got our drinks fast, prepared some very special cocktails and talked to us. The spa is also amazing, we asked for services and prices first day snd were quoted some crazy prices. Two days later a guy from the spa was walking along the beach offering same services for half the price, a guess you have to negotiate, something that most people are not used to. Overall very nice experience!

Dec 07, 2025Stay Away
Bad service, dirty rooms (my blanket had dried blood on it), dirty beach and water (cigarette butts all over the sand). Don't expect great service at all if you're an UVC MEMBER. I wouldn't send my worst enemy here.

Our Favorite Cancun Resort
The beach is not the best, but this resort is amazing because of the staff and their love for their job and the guests. We were taken care of for 6 amazing days - and this was our third visit to this resort…and we can’t wait to book again! Favorite staff members: Luis by the Secrets pool, Cruz, Urbano, Nedel - all pool servers! Danny and Mario are pool concierges and the best! Yesenia and Alfredo at Rosewater are so attentive- and Karla will great you with a beautiful smile when you arrive. Lidia in the Breathless preferred bar (Exhale Club)- be sure to ask her for a special drink! Try all the restaurants, but definitely do NOT pass on Coquette! Book Hibachi if you can. All the rooms are gorgeous, but make sure you know the swim outs are chilly in the winter- unless it’s when the sun is directly on them during the day. The swim out is our favorite- but only during spring or summer. The ocean front rooms are breathtaking and our go-to. This resort is small on the Secrets side, which we love, but it’s nice to go over to the wild side if you need more excitement.

Dec 06, 2025Ok, mediocre at best.
The resort was beautiful, the beach was minimal, and service was ok. Not what i expected out of a secrets resort. We had a good time but not better than any other non secrets resorts we have stayed at in the past. Long waits for dinner. Long wait for drinks during the evening. The resort seems short staffed. No complaints on the hard working individuals of the resorts who were always quick so smile and say hi, they need more help. The resort was much nicer than surrounding resorts.
