Beautiful

Secrets :Playa Mujeres was an amazing resort. The staff were friendly and fun to be around. The food was awesome. No shortage of drinks. Our room was spacious and the turn down service was great. We would return.

Enjoyable

Beautiful resort - very nice people. The only negative was the constant seaweed on the beach and in the water! The food was good, restaurants were very nice. I liked the fact that we were able to visit the Dreams Resort.

Fantastic Resort

Secrets is a Beautiful Resort close to beach. Great restaurants. Staff is excellent. For golfers the Greg Norman designed course is in spectacular condition with Beautiful ocean views. Spent 7 nights and never felt we needed to leave the resort.

Beautiful resort / Great staff

This was my husband and I first experience at a Secrets resort in Mexico. We had a spectacular Ocean view room and experienced beautiful sunrises most morning. The grounds and facilities are well maintained and the beach is beautiful. The daily entertainment was great. We ate at all restaurants and even took advantage of the restaurant at the Dreams resort next door which is really close. All were inviting, beautifully decorated and the food was Ok. The staff, at every level were welcomin [... read more]g, friendly and professional.

Secrets Playa Mujeres

We spent a week at the Secrets Playa Mujeres at the end of February 2019. This was our first time in PM which is about 30-40 minutes north of Cancun - the area is beautiful and seems more relaxed and secluded than Cancun or the Mayan Riviera. The resort is beautiful and well maintained - lots of chairs around the pool and on the beach. There are the expected "chair savers" that are out early in the morning but that happens pretty much anywhere and is hard to control. We spent the majorit [... read more]y of our time at the main pool and enjoyed the drinks, entertainment, people watching and the daily volleyball match. Service was really good poolside. We spent a half day at the spa and each got massages because we got a deal (50% off) when we checked in...worth it with the deal. If there is one downside to this resort it is food quality...not that the food is bad because it isn't; in fact breakfast and lunch either at the buffet or the grills, etc. was really good. It was the dinners for us, they just weren't "great". We tried every restaurant and the food was generally underwhelming. I admit that I'm maybe being a little more critical because of the price we paid for the vacation (and we are "foodies" although we eat pretty much anything) but I just want to help in managing expectations as we did feel a bit let down after our evening meals. All in all, a really nice resort; beautiful beaches and pools, great amenities and service, good to average food.

Would not go back ! I would not recommend this place

I really thought fir a month should I write a review or just leave it alone ! Then I thought I would be doing the next person a public disservice! So I am suggesting you move on please do not waste your money on this place , and this is current Jan 2019 , it would have to be the worst resort I have ever been and the most expensive! Which really does not make sense .

One of the better Secrets

There were no surprises with this hotel it is exactly as pictured. Everything is laid out in a U-shaped centred around the pool. We paid for a oceanview room but I had wanted to upgrade to a tub on the patio. I found out that this would be a downgrade which was quite surprising. The majority of restaurants are such a short distance away from the rooms it is just a nice walk and is not far at all as some reviews lead you to believe . The entertainment was phenomenal. Everywhere we went there  [... read more]was live music. Every afternoon there was a band that played at the pool, there was always a violin player or a singer outside the theatre entertaining the crowds as well as the theatre itself . The service was above par. The drinks were served quickly, there was very little wait at the restaurants, housekeeping was prompt and kept our room clean. The lazy river at Dreams was a lot of fun and a nice perk. Just being able to walk over to Dreams is actually a nice perk . As the first full day of our arrival was very rainy we took up the offer to listen to the travel club presentation in exchange for resort credits. This presentation was to be 90 minutes. After the 90 minutes we advised we would not be purchasing. The sellers absolutely would not take no for an answer. They kept bringing another person to talk to us to make another offer. We continued to say no and requested our resort credits. They kept us for 2 1/2 hours before we finally got the credits. It was extremely frustrating and a very unpleasant way to start off our vacation.

Not so much

I promise the general manager not to go public! Bad experience will not recommend will not go back ! 😷😷😷😷🧐🧐🧐😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕

Not what we were expected

Booked this hotel to celebrate moms's 70th and my 50th. First is not easy to get to down town Cancún or Hotel zone. It was 30 dollars each way to go out of the hotel, we were told it was 15 minutes from the airport and close to downtown it was not true. Is sold as a Resort & Spa "Adults only" so you expect quite time: Well it was not quite... there was too much noise full of drunk people. Noise until 2 or 3 in the morning. Upgrade is not need it. Why pay extra money for something you are no [... read more]t getting? This hotel is advertised as a 5 dimonds!!! Well is a long way to get there. The food is not what you expect from a five dimonds resort. I know it is all inclusive but you are paying a lot to be there and beside that the upgrade for the concierge privilege club is no necessary you get the same as eveybody else. Room service was very good and accommodating to our needs since my BF got sick (maybe the food?). There was lots of not smoking signs even in the washroom and there was not even one sign regarding not to drink the tap water im the room. The better restaurant was Oceana. Service was good, food was good. The main buffet has lots of room for improvement starting with the food contamination. The ideal on any buffet is that the last customer find the food as if he was the first customer... yes is a high expectation but when you pay that money you can't lower your expectations and you will losse your appetite when all you can see is like leftovers. Tried Gaucho at Dreams... lots of noise, i knew there was kids around. 1hr wait to seat 1 person and then the buffet was nothing but Disgusting. The French restaurant was ok. The italian restaurant was the best, food and service excellent, presentation was great. After complaining to the concierge Manager fir 2 days they offered a bottle of red wine not the best but hey! was included! After all we were happy at the wine cellar where we were allowed to have dessert just because we were getting engaged! But we got nothing special from the resort. All the employees are happy and willing to serve you very attentive but food management has room for improvement. Oh one last thing as a club privilege upgrade we got access to the Spa to the hydrotherapy... we asked for bathrobs and we never got them on our visit to the spa.

Trip of a Lifetime!

What an amazing resort. The grounds were lush, and the beach sand like flour between our toes. A wonderful variety of fine restaurants to enjoy, as well as great entertainment. We were probably most impressed with the friendliness and courtesy of the staff. It felt like it was an honour to serve us!

Excellent service

The hotel staff were amazing and so friendly. The resort was absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, the noise level throughout the night kept us up and there was construction going on at the hotel beside us. We asked to be moved but the hotel was at full capacity. They did try to get us a room at Dreams but we didn't want to be surrounded by children. Overall, the hotel, staff and food were great!

PARADISE IN CANCUN!

This was our second time at a Secrets resort and it was amazing! We were here for a Family wedding and it was lovely on the beach. The grounds are beautiful, clean and well kept. The food was good with a nice variety to choose from and the Margaritas were number one! By far the staff at this resort really make it awesome. Friendly and they make it so much fun! Shout outs to Sexy Ross and Sexy Manny in entertainment. Wilberth, Antonio and Pino at the pool bar. HOLA!!!!

Best all-inclusive resort

I almost never leave reviews but I cannot say enough about secrets Playa Mujeres Cancun. The resort exceeded all our expectations. The staff were friendly and attentive. The pool was large, clean, perfect temperature with plenty of loungers and umbrellas. The beach was incredible, we really enjoyed the bar on the beach with the swings. The rooms were large and had a beautiful view of the pool, ocean and resort. And the food... oh the food was delicious, such a wide selection to satisfy any palet [... read more]te. I could write an entire review alone on Bordeaux (French cuisine), Portofino (Italian), and their market cafe. Secrets Playa Mujeres was excellent!!

Secrets Playa Mujeres - Nice Resort with a few Issues

Nov 2018 This may be a bit long but is worth the read. Booked this resort for our wedding/honeymoon. This resort is about 40 minutes north of Cancun airport. The resort itself is isolated from the rest of Cancun which was perfect for us. The fact that it's adults only was also a bonus. We booked the Preferred Club Junior Suite - Oceanview. The resort itself is beautiful but was a bit overwhelming when you first arrive as it is very spread out. We were taken to the Preferred Club Lou [... read more]nge where we checked in and were treated to gourmet food and desserts and fabulous mojitos! We were in building three which has a view of the ocean and the pool. The room was very clean, the bed was very comfortable, there was a jacuzzi tub on the outside balcony as well as a jacuzzi tub in the bathroom along with a rainfall shower. The mini bar and in room snacks were stocked daily! The staff were very pleasant no matter where you were on the resort. The food was amazing and there was a huge variety at the buffet...no complaints with the food at all. You had to line up outside the buffet restaurant to be seated for breakfast and lunch but the wait was usually quite short. There was no buffet available for dinner which was a problem for us as we were a group of 11 and as they do not allow reservations except for one restaurant on site, we had a terrible time finding a place for all of us to eat at once. If you plan on going to this resort with a group larger than four people, I would definitely not recommend it as dinner time was very frustrating trying to get us all accommodated! The Himatsu restaurant allows reservations but you must line up for this only on the day you want the reservation. I was in line at 3:30pm one day in anticipation of them starting to take reservations at 4:00pm so I could get a good reservation time. I was the fourth person in line and when it was my turn to make the reservation, I was told I could only book for 11 people at 9:30pm! To me that's just ridiculous! The Oceana restaurant was closed due to renovations which means the resort was one restaurant down and this should have been taken into consideration by the resort as well. We tried to have dinner at the Sunset Grill and got there at 7:30pm. We were told we couldn't be seated until 8:00pm. At five minutes to 8, I asked if we could be seated. We were taken to a table for 11 people and not two minutes after we sat down we were told that they had made a mistake and that they had a reservation for another group of 11 people which they thought was us, even though we were told that you couldn't make reservations for this restaurant. We were then asked to leave the restaurant which was very insulting. At that point, we asked where they could serve all of us. We were told we could go to the El Patio Mexican restaurant but we had eaten there the night before and didn't want the same menu. They seated us at El Patio and were able to give us the menu from the Oceana restaurant so that they could accommodate us. Octavio who is the manager of El Patio was very kind to us and we appreciate his service. That being said, Secrets needs to step up it's game when it comes to larger groups. I don't know how many weddings are done there every day but there was at least one wedding every day we were there and I'm sure that we are not the only group to have this issue. The restaurants should be more accommodating and allow the bigger groups to book reservations for the restaurants, especially when they know it is a wedding party bringing them business. Regardless, all of the food at the resort was exceptional and the wait staff at the buffet and all the restaurants offered tremendous service. Aside from the issues with the restaurants, I would definitely recommend this resort for weddings. Our wedding planner Ana was amazing from beginning to end. From the email conversations to arrange the wedding to the actual wedding day, she was polite, knowledgeable and very easy to work with! I truly appreciate all of her assistance! There were so many options to choose from and you could spend as much or as little as you wanted to make it the wedding of your dreams. The wedding was better than we had anticipated and we didn't have to break the bank to get what we wanted. We had the option of a beach wedding or the wedding gazebo overlooking the ocean. We chose the gazebo but we saw weddings done on the beach while we were there and both settings were amazing! The officiant was also amazing! She was thoughtful, pleasant and knew the ceremony inside and out. Her voice was soft spoken and very pleasing, almost maternal. I'm so glad that we had her as our officiant, she really made the ceremony special. From the music we chose, the sand ceremony, the champagne toast and the the beautiful set up of our terrace dinner overlooking the ocean, we were impressed by it all! My bouquet was even more beautiful than I had anticipated and the roses smelled beautiful!!! The florist did an amazing job with the rest of the flowers as well! Once again, the food was amazing and the service staff was top notch! Being part of the Preferred Club, we were able to use the palapas on the beach! They were very comfortable and kept you out of the direct sun. The staff were very good when they were there but there were times when you didn't see the drink waiters or the staff to set up the palapas for a long period of time. It was faster to go to the bar on the beach yourself to get your own drink. It happened to to very windy while we were there so a lot of seaweed had accumulated on the beach. They were definitely on top of it though with people and machines clearing the beach constantly. The water wasn't blue but it was very nice and you were able to swim in it everyday. One day there happened to be a red flag on one end of the beach due to sting rays but you were still able to swim in the opposite end of the beach. The sand was really soft and white and nice as well. We went over to the Dreams sister resort just to check it out one day. It was nice but we found the grounds of Secrets to be nicer and you definitely noticed that it was much more child oriented. The entertainment at the resort was fantastic. Every night was a different show. We really enjoyed the circus night, rock show and Mexican night! They are not to be missed! The grounds were very well kept and they were constantly cleaning around the resort. It was fun to see so many iguanas around the grounds and they really didn't seem to be too afraid of the people as long as you left them alone. You should be aware that this resort offers time shares. They ask you to participate in a presentation but they really don't pressure you. If you say no, they leave you alone. All in all, the resort was great, the people were great, the beach was great, the food was great and the weather was great! Our only real complaint was not being able to be accommodated properly for group dinners at the resort. We are definitely sold on the Secrets brand and would visit another resort but not with a large group! If you are a couple or a group of four than this resort is perfect!

Okay resort

I would give this resort a 3 1-2 out of 5 . There are some very good things about this resort but also some things that need improvement . Our check in was quite slow and when we got to our room the bell hop told us where the bars were and restaurants but the map of the resort didn’t give building numbers so when we left and since it was dark our whole group had trouble finding our way back to our rooms . Okay I will now go through my estimates of the resort from top to bottom . The staff here [... read more] are 6 stars everyone was helpful and always smiling except a lady from front desk who was not very nice when I phoned about checkout . The room was 5star always cleaned and we never had a problem with hot water . The beach was 5 star as once tropical storm Michael left there was no problem with sea weed and you could walk for miles along a great sand beach . The pool and grounds were 5 star with lots of umbrellas for shade and good waiter service . But here is the problem with this resort . The food is only marginal at best . We were here for my daughters wedding and when we got our meal the steak and fish tasted okay but everything was cold . The breakfast at secrets was okay with a good omelet station but the breakfast buffet was very limited whereas the buffet next door at dreams was much bigger but noisy and busy .lunch was just okay not great but not bad and the ala carts where hit and miss with some really good and others okay to poor . When we arrived home we had 1 person taken to hospital from the airport with a bad ecoli infection and at least 1 other person with stomach trouble . I liked the resort but with the food trouble and the fact that they are fairly pricey I will probably not return here

Beautiful resort!

The rooms, pool, beach/ocean and restaurants were amazing. The food was exceptional, as I've always found in Mexico. We enjoyed being a short golf cart ride to Dreams, where the restaurants and bars were equally as nice. Having access to more at Dreams was a perk. The Secrets resort was beautiful but some restaurants were a golf cart ride away making the resort seem a little smaller while you were in the main area.

Thanksgiving trip

The beach was spectacular. The employees were wonderful. The food was terrible as a whole and my husband contracted an illness which caused hospitalization the night he returned home. This was an important trip that went terribly bad on our final day. We enjoyed our time with family and friends.

Unbelievable resort!!

The resort met above our expectations! The checking in was very fast for the first time ever of us travelling our room was ready right away ! As soon as we got out of her shadow someone greeted us with a hot towel champagne. It was a very fancy resort however they’re also was a lot of activity great night life but plenty of room to just relax if that’s what you wanted . The food was unbelievable of course ! The pool was awesome with plenty of activities or just relaxation with an amazin [... read more]g view of the ocean. The only negative thing I would have to say and this is just me nitpicking is some of the restaurants would take a long time and the portions were very small. The beach wasn’t the nicest we’ve been to . But other than that no complaints the staff were amazing as per expected. Especially “Tomas” and “Sophia”. Thank you !!

Great location

The hotel grounds were immaculate and the entire service team were outstanding. Lots of smiles, friendly interactions and incredibly accommodating. Food was good, not great. Found the selection at the restaurants to be somewhat limited but quality was good.
