Nice Resort, however not what I thought a Secrets resort would be

Nice clean resort, however very loud annoying music everyday by the pool, not relaxing at all, so not the place to go if your looking for peace and quiet. Not able to swim in the ocean too rough, no one walks the beach, very strange. Very misleading as to what's included, had to pay for most top shelf liquors or wines, so don't be fooled by the unlimited luxery line. At least 2 restaurants closed every night, the Italian restaurant ran out of Cabernet all 3 night's we went for dinner. Rooms  [... read more]were nice, however we paid for a partial ocean view room and we're put in a room over looking the pool, we were told it was better as the ocean view rooms you could hear the construction of a new hotel being built next door, that's fine, however don't make me pay for it!! We were unable to to get back into our rooms 3 different nights, each time we were told the electronic lock would be fixed and it never was, very dissapointing. Suzy and Louisa at the pool were fabulous, always took care of us ensuring we stayed well hydrated!! Victor at the Brazilian restaurant at Dreams was amazing!!! He made us feel welcome as did the beautiful greater outside, I cant recall her name but she had the nicest smile! Although the food was great no complaints, given the price point for this resort I expected to see more seafood and steak offerings however not options. Given the price point I was a bit disappointed, we usually go to the Iberostar Grand Punta Cana, no comparison, the Grand is far superior in every way.

A little to far off the beat and track

There is no real grounds area. Main restaurants too far away, have to take shuttle, when raining very unpleasant. Room was good only after moving twice. They do not offer single room rates. Beach fair as too much overgrowth around beach brought in animals and bugs.

Spectacular Property

We travelled to this resort in mid February and I can honestly say everything was amazing. From the staff being friendly and helpful, to great food all around to satisfy everyone's tastes to the clean resort that has people working on the cleanliness all day and I can't say enough about the entire hard working staff from when you first get there to the cleaning & service staff right to the entertainment staff to keep the guest entertained during the days and night.

Amazing Reaort / Bad food

This Reaort was amazing and beautiful but the food was terrible and there service for preferred was also terrible... would not go back to this resort and paid 12.000.00 for this trip was a waste of money.

Fantastic stay!

We stayed here from December 9-18th and from the minute we arrived the service was wonderful and staff friendly and helpful! Our room was a standard room but was large and clean, comfy bed and beautiful tub and shower. It seemed as though almost all of the balconies faced the pool or ocean so there weren’t any bad views. The beach and pools were beautiful and the pools nice and warm, and hot tubs actually hot! The gym was great, new equipment and Victor was by far our favorite staff member [... read more]. He was extremely helpful for being the staff assigned to the gym....he was like a personal trainer!! Thanks Victor! Food was great and drinks were fabulous; the French restaurant had the best French onion soup I have ever had! You will not be disappointed if you stay at this resort!!

Resort was good

Overall the hotel was average. The rooms were very nice and comfortable. The pool was nice but pool chairs were dirty. The beach had alot of seaweed so not really nice for swimming. The food was average. They ran out of food at the a la carte restaurants and the wait times were very long. The breakfast was standard but the wait was long.

Mexican style relaxing resort

Dining amazing. Resort nice. Great pool, ocean. Towels handled in a positive way, no problems Comfortable loungers, esp. when your their more than a week. Unusual design, in that the main lobby is not natural to go to or use only at the beginning and the end. I view it as a sales office. It’s not very friendly. Someone introduced themselves as our personal concierge, we’ll, he was our salesman...never heard or saw him afterwards, insincere truly. They greet you like other secrets res [... read more]orts with a glass of champagne but it is not sincere, and when your leaving there is a length of time waiting,so your sitting there, many people In Fact so it would be natural and sincere to offer a bottle of water...they don’t. You remember the first moments and the last they should be taught this. Also some secrets, had management, staff doing surveys, asking guests their opinions, etc.....nothing here. Many guests were complaining their rooms were too close to the pwedding pavilion and noisy, loud, esp. base music bright lighting, too late into the evening. Now our room wasn’t near it, but I surely can understand , we did here it late one evening. The pavilion and wedding set up should not interfere with other guests.paviollion is situated by rooms that have ocean view....suggest either moving the pavilion or redesign and / or supply those ocean view rooms to wedding parties ONLY. Also regarding design, the rooms lack storage areas, we’ve been at other secrets, but these rooms lack drawers / cubes. Could be easily rectified by adding some to the wardrobe and nite tables. Ifour them one guest is definitely living out of their luggage. In general, they were managed in more of an authentic Mexican style than other secrets. Including their entertainment dept. although enthusiastic. Their pool music too loud! No management present, apparently they have all gone to the offfices now located at the new hotel next door. This absence was my immediate observation. Staff want to help but they need more English training and seem reactionary vs. Proactive. I. E. Mini bar not filled daily, we as guests should not have to call ...daily. Grounds are nice. Staff generally good, I want to call out Giovanni from the pool service/ bar area, and Alex, pool concierge, outsiding and made for a great time. Excellent.

First Class Resort

This resort was luxury and class all the way. The photos on the webpage are exactly what you get. The service is excellent. We loved not having to make a reservation for dinner and just ate whenever and wherever we wanted too. Make sure to dress well for dinner Men should have pants, collared shirt and most importantly, dress shoes..All meals were presented stylishly, even room service, The food was of a high quality. The coffee is not great so we learned to ask only for expresso. The beach had [... read more] silky white sand and was clean but did have a seaweed bed not far off shore and there was a lot of loose seaweed in the water and always seaweed on the beach even though there were staff who came and cleaned it off the beach twice a day. We still spent all our time at the beach and didn't use the pool at all. The only issue I had was the jet skis that raced up and down parallel to the beach constantly. This left the smell of gasoline in the air and a bit of a film on the water. As this resort is right next to a dolphin sanctuary, the jet skis should go! We required medical attention during our stay and the resort doctor came right to our room and arranged transportation to the hospital and for the specialist to see promptly. The concierge phoned twice the next day to see if all was well and did we have everything we needed. The one comment I would make is that this resort is to the north if Cancun by about 15 - 20 minutes. This impacted the excursions we did as everything has to go through peak hour traffic in downtown Cancun, coming and going. This added an extra hour on to any exciursion and we felt it wasn't worth spending the 5 hours driving to swim in a cenote or swim with turtles etc! The golf course was beautiful and challenging. The spa was as good as the best I've seen - or better. My massage was excellent. The downside was the upsellibg on checkin. The two tiered guest system preferred guest or VIP with their own special clubs etc. This made you feel a little second class. The resort dollars that you got on check in were very limited use and we ended up only using $40 of the $200 that we had . One complaint at the Oceana restaurant was that we could only sit at the open windo with the view if we bought a bootleg of wine. We don't drink wine and so missed this experience. Very exclusive and left us feeling less. Thisvresort is extremely luxurious and comfortable .

Awesome resort. Well laid out with pool, beach and restaurants

Resort only 4 years old. Location has the best beaches in Mexico. Ocean was always calm. Breakfast and lunch restaurants were located all near beach and pool area. 5 min walk or a 2min golf cart ride to the dinner restaurants and entertainment area which were at the main lobby area. This eliminated any noise from the entertainment areas for the rooms. All the food at the restaurants were top notch. No reservations required.

Wonderful resort

A beautiful room and ocean view welcomed us. The hotel including a golf course was very well maintained. The only problem was bed sheets and pillow cases; they smelled strange, maybe because of th water washed with? Food was excellent. Staff was very helpful to arrange our requests and very professional. I'd like to come back again!

Beautiful resort with excellent service!

The service was exceptional from the restaurants, bars to the entertainment team, the room was very clean. The grounds were very well maintained and the food and drinks were amazing. I enjoyed a very relaxing vacation and would certainly go back!

Breathtaking Everythjng

Our experience was 5 star everyday. We were fortunate to experience great weather, impeccable service, and the food and amenities were fantastic! I hope we can travel to this resort again! We used the pools, beach front was awesome and the hotel gym. I'm sure the entertainment was good, as we were told, however we were in bed early most nights, and early to rise to see the fabulous sunrises.

Beautiful resort

wow where do I start? the resort was fabulous, the grounds were beautiful. All the work is done by hand. Very impressive. I felt it necessary to tip a couple of gardeners a buck, because it does not appear that they get much recognition. The rooms were awesome as it turned out we were able to upgrade to a oceanview/pool view room. the resteraunts were all awesome, great service or shall I say prompt service.

That being said I am unable to drink a lot through the day, for medical reasons, therefore i'd go to the pool bar for a pop my order was taken and then I had to wait for the guy to ask another group of people and make there six drinks or however many and get back to me with a simple pop, was not impressed with that. All other staff were very friendly and helpful.

Very nice resort

The beaches were definitely not as the photos shown in the brochure. The rooms are very nice. We were in room 3001 very close to the ongoing construction and we were O.K. with that, the pounding didn't start till 9am. The food was great, the Italian restaurant was very disappointing. The biggest complaint was with the staffing at this resort. The expectation of staff to receive tips was some what uncomfortable. It was like a sense of entitlement.

Beautiful Resort

This hotel stands out for its cleanliness and quality of food, drink and service. Every drink was made with the best top shelf alcohol assuring a amazing drink. Every meal was made to be the best it could be, using quality ingredients and paying attention to its detail. We booked with Trip Central and Carol was amazing. She paid attention to every wish we had and put us in s resort perfectly matched for us.

We are a Dresms / Secrets customer for years now and will stay so for a long time based on the quality and service. Secrets Playa Mujetes has all the details covered. Everything!!!!!

Glorious Get-Away

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation at the Secrets Playa Mujeres resort. The grounds are beautiful, the rooms are spotless and the service was outstanding. The food was scrumptious although we were disappointed in the Seaside Grill which wasn't as formal for dinner as we were expecting - many quests were dressed up only to be sat beside guys in bathing suits and baseball caps. It should not be promoted as formal dining. We had outstanding food and service at the Italian, French and Japanese r [... read more]estaurants. We will most certainly return to this resort.

Fantastic Resort!

6 ladies in our group stayed at this resort to celebrate 3 of us who turned 60. The resort is beautiful, and we felt completely safe. I loved that there was lots to do, and the Recreational staff are a hoot! Many of us tried the yoga and Pilates classes on the beach gazebo first thing in the morning, which was so peaceful, not to mention a darn good workout! At noon, many of us did the aquafit class in the pool. The instructors actually came into the pool with us for much of the class, and made  [... read more]us laugh so hard, that you forgot you were excercizing! We did the bicycle tour, which was really nice, and beginner level. We saw monkeys and got to hold a baby crocodile & exotic birds. Rooms lovely, and we were spoiled by all staff. Meals were lovely, and it was nice not to have to reserve tables. There were plenty of beach lounges around the pool area & on beach with umbrella's for shade. Our plane was delayed 2 hours in Toronto, so our ocean view rooms that we paid extra for had been booked to other customers by the time we arrived, but the hotel manager, Enrique, took care of this by assigning us to premium rooms for the first night, and moving our bags the next day to the rooms we booked while we carried on with our day. He showed up daily to check in with us and make sure that all was satisfactory, even ensuring we had good tables at restaurants. Don't forget to do tequila tasting, & sushi making classes at pool. Dianna will crack you up big time!

A relaxing , beautiful resort

The resort is well kept , clean , lots of vegetation Food is very good, lots of choices , esp healthy choices ie daily fresh fish , shrimp, salmon the variety of fruits is fine, more local grown mangos would have been nice , but in general good.

Incredible resort

This resort was luxurious and the staff went out of their way to make our stay memorable ❤ I travel often and this is by far the best place! Some downfalls were the lack of drainage. It rained alot so some of our guests rooms got flooded out. They also have construction next door behind building 2 which starts around 7 am daily.

Beautiful resort

This resort is newer and the drainage design is extremely poor. Rained a lot and my room flooded constantly . Hallways filled with inches of water & dirt. Ceilings full of water then ceilings on the ground. The resort staff are the finest! The food incredible!
