Dec 08, 2025Nice 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.

Memorable stay
This hotel is beautiful, exceptionally clean and just the right size for couples looking to relax. There are plenty of activities at the pool for patrons who prefer that energy. The beach is quiet and offers many palapas, chairs and quiet time with guided yoga every morning! Rosewater restaurant is exclusive to Secrets guests and all other restaurants are located at this sister resort Breathless. Secrets guests have full access to Breathless and that resort is more lively with nighttime shows and activities. All rooms are well located, cresting around the pool and the beach is steps away. We enjoyed the beachfront master suite and watching the sunrise from our deck and relaxing on the deck jacuzzi or the indoor jacuzzi was amazing!! We also had a great experience at the Rosewater and Coquette Restaurants. The service, attentiveness and kindness of our servers at Rosewater made our stay memorable. Yesenia, José, Alberto were exceptional ! Aladdino our server and Priscilla hostess at Coquette were went above and beyond ! The only downfall is beach had brown seaweed which made the water look brownish post hurricane season but the hotel workers keep it very clean as there is never seaweed on the beach itself.
