Jul 08, 2025We loved this place
This was our first time in Mexico and we were recommended this resort and it did not disappoint. Everything was fantastic from the service to the amenities. We did Yoga, We used the Paddle Boards we went on a catamaran. Jaime helped us with the beach activities and was very helpful. We loved Veronica and Jorge on the entertainment crew at the pool!

Amazing people amazing experiences
Jose Becerra y Carlos Miranda Made a trip here amazing. They assisted us navigating our days and dinners at night. Also prepared transportation to and from hotel and answered any simple questions we had during our 1 week stay during the 4th of July week. Highly recommend!

Jul 08, 2025Friendliest of staff members, very clean and very good food.
Place was extremely nice. Right out of the taxi the first day we were greeted with a tasty drink and shown where to go. Our concierge Jose Becerra was very helpful and friendly, he texted us usually once a day just making sure we had everything we needed. And of course whenever we saw him he asked us how everything was. The only downside was this was their slow season so there was unexpected construction going on, on their secrets side, but we had access to the dreams side as well. Best entertainment staff as well! We would love to come back.

Jul 08, 2025Not great, not terrible
Positives: The food and drinks were great; I'd say this was the best part of our experience. We were also very satisfied with our room, particularly the air conditioning. The staff was lovely and very helpful. Negatives: Upon our arrival to the resort right after we checked in, we were aggressively sold the VIP package, which we had no interest in. This soured our initial experience. If you are approached by the VIP staff when you check in, I recommend you politely decline sitting down with them. The music at the pools was far too loud and obnoxious. We felt there was no way to relax because the music was so invasive. This would have been fine if there was a quiet pool to retreat to, but there was nothing like this. On our third day, we received a notification that the main pool would be under construction. When we went down to the pool the following day, the secondary pool was overcrowded due to the main pool being shut down. The combination of the loud music and the sound of construction was overwhelming. The primary purpose of our vacation was to relax and unwind at the pool, but this felt impossible. Unfortunately, the negatives outweighed the positives for us.

Jul 07, 2025Misleading Booking – Nonstop Construction Noise
We stayed at Secrets Puerto Vallarta over July 4th weekend and were shocked to find the resort under heavy construction, including two main pools and the wet bar. There was nonstop drilling all day, every day, with no warning at booking. We came for a relaxing, adults-only vacation but were told to go to the family-friendly Dreams resort next door to escape the noise, which didn’t help. Totally ruined the trip. This was not the experience we paid for, and the lack of transparency is unacceptable. Wouldn’t recommend unless you can somehow be sure construction is done.

- 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.
