We absolutely loved our stay at Secrets. The food, and more importantly, the service were top notch. We felt so welcomed and treated by everyone there. The views of the pool and ocean were awesome too. This was our honeymoon and we love every minute of it! The waitstaff was incredible, including Luis at Bordeux, as well as Cristina at the Market Cafe, Ivan at Seaside Grill, Eduardo at the buffet, and Jaime Laguas, Martha Barrientos, Alejandro Witzil, and Frankcelly at the pool. Armando helped us at the front desk and was great. The food was very good - I specifically loved the variety of the buffet, while my wife enjoyed more of the fine-dining experiences at the restaurants, specifically the Mediterranean meal at Dreams. We had a great experience at the Spa with hydrotherapy and massages - Mine and Betsy were both great. This was our first time in Mexico and at an all-inclusive resort and could not recommend this place enough. We have a wonderful travel agent who found us this place (Thank you Lorie!). Read less

They need to go ahead and close now. Service is lacking with a large portion of the staff while others go above and beyond. Very different from other Secret resorts. The resort is in need of a deep clean and maintenance. The water in the pools is cool but the hot tubs are comfortable.

We enjoyed our stay. As a Globalist, I felt we were treated special. Our King 1 bedroom ocean view suite was excellent. The hydro therapy session is a must. I wish we had done sooner and more often. Highly recommend Oceana for breakfast and lunch. We did not care for dinner at Seaside. We did not care for the wine selection, but realize… Read more

Highly recommend Oceana for breakfast and lunch. We did not care for dinner at Seaside. We did not care for the wine selection, but realize this is subjective. The staff is a great asset to this resort. I am told that the resort is going to be refurbished and we will return once it is complete. Read less

The best service we have ever experienced in any resort, ever! We have been to many resorts in Mexico, including several other Secrets and this is the best we have ever been to. On top of the service, the food was phenomenal and we enjoyed every single restaurant, the buffet, and pool asado. Kudos to Marcela, our favourite poolside server, Daniel at Seaside, and Raul at Bordeaux. You made our stay that much more enjoyable. Our group of seven was accommodated everywhere we went. Also, the guacamole class was great and so tasty. The resort is closing for renovations in April, but I’d suggest going before to experience the best ever! Read less

We loved our stay at this resort! Our room was fantastic and the housekeeping staff were meticulous with their daily cleaning and turndown service. All the pool and bar staff were great! A special thank-you to Jaime, Alejandro, Juan & Martha! We will definitely stay at this resort again!
