Dec 17, 2025Great time at Secrets Vallarta Bay , HONEST REVIEW
Secrets Vallarta Bay is a really nice resort that offers amazing views in a great location. Of course with every resort there seems to be some minor flaws but the Pros definitely outweigh the cons IMO. The entire SVB staff are amazing from the moment you enter the resort until the time you leave and they truly help separate this resort from others that we've stayed at in the past. This is a smaller resort that shares some restaurants with the neighboring Dreams resort which we were initially concerned with however that was honestly never an issue during our stay. This resort offered some of the best food that we've ever had at an All Inclusive and the staff were always above & beyond helpful. If you have an opportunity to eat dinner at Capers do yourself a favor and ask for Francisco's section as him & his team were so much fun and also provided great recommendations. Cons ( Nit Picking) The resort hosts a lot of weddings & it can be pretty loud until quiet time which is 11pm. If you go to bed early this could potentially be something you might want to prepare for. The rooms were great but they did show some wear on the furniture. The entertainment was a bit underwhelming as it was mainly Karaoke, trivia or silent disco during our stay. Lunch starts at an awkward time of 1pm. Pros Amazing Staff Great location Beautiful views Very good food

Great trip at Vallarta bay
Great trip to Vallarta Bay. Would for sure come back. Pros-Food, pools, service, and layout/views Cons-Needs updating in rooms and some areas First time to Vallarta Bay, 50 plus times to MX. Service and the views are why you come here. Neither disappointed. Would recommend this resort to anyone. I have stayed at nicer for sure, but this one is solid. Big shout out to Fransico Garcia in Capers. Best waiter I have had at a resort. went back twice just to sit in his area.
