Nestled along the pristine shores of the Riviera Maya, Secrets Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa beckons travelers with promises of luxury, relaxation, and an escape from the ordinary. I went with my husband for 4 nights to celebrate my birthday and had an absolutely wonderful time.
Arrival and Welcome
From the moment I stepped into the resort, I was surrounded by elegance and warmth. The lobby, adorned with contemporary Mexican décor, set the tone for the luxurious experience that awaited me. The staff donned smiles and was attentive to every detail, ensuring a seamless check-in process.
A refreshing welcome drink and a cool towel were offered right when we got off our shuttle. The concierge team stepped up right away to help with our bags.
Accommodations
The resort has a variety of room options, including an option for a walk-out pool. I opted for an oceanfront suite with a balcony jacuzzi, and the moment I opened the door to my room, I was met with breathtaking views of the turquoise Caribbean waters. The room itself was a blend of modern aesthetics and traditional Mexican influences, creating an inviting and serene atmosphere.
The attention to detail in the room’s design and amenities was evident. The plush bedding, a well-stocked minibar, and jacuzzi on the private balcony elevated the overall experience. The room’s cleanliness and meticulous housekeeping further added to the sense of comfort and relaxation.
The Food!
One of the highlights of my stay at Secrets Riviera Cancun was undoubtedly the food. With many different restaurants offering diverse cuisines, the resort caters to every palate.
One standout experience was dining at the French-inspired restaurant. The combination of exquisite dishes, a carefully curated wine list, and impeccable service made it a memorable evening. The resort’s commitment to culinary excellence was further evident in the themed nights, such as the Mexican Fiesta, where guests could savor local delicacies while enjoying live music and entertainment.
“Unlimited Luxury”
Secrets Riviera Cancun is an “Unlimited-Luxury” resort, a concept that transcends traditional all-inclusive offerings. Beyond the standard amenities, this approach ensures that guests enjoy a level of luxury that extends to every aspect of their stay. Unlimited-Luxury means no reservations required for dining, top-shelf spirits, 24-hour room service, and a host of activities and entertainment options.
The resort’s dedication to providing a seamless and indulgent experience was evident in every detail, from the premium brands available at the bars to the complimentary pool and beachside service. The Unlimited-Luxury concept truly allows guests to immerse themselves in the pleasures of the resort without worrying about additional costs or limitations.
The Spa
No luxury resort experience is complete without a visit to the spa, and Secrets Riviera Cancun did not disappoint. The Secrets Spa by Pevonia is a haven of tranquility, offering a range of rejuvenating treatments and therapies. From traditional Mayan massages to hydrotherapy circuits, the spa experience was a journey into relaxation and renewal.
I indulged in a signature massage, and the skilled therapists combined ancient techniques with modern practices to create a truly therapeutic experience. The spa facilities, including steam rooms, saunas, and a serene relaxation lounge, added to the overall sense of well-being.
Entertainment and Activities
While relaxation is paramount at Secrets Riviera Cancun, the resort also offers a plethora of entertainment and activities for those seeking a more active experience. From daily fitness classes to water aerobics, there was always something happening for those who wanted to stay active.
Evenings were filled with live music, dance performances, and themed parties. The resort’s entertainment team ensured that guests could choose between lively social gatherings or intimate, quiet moments, tailoring the experience to individual preferences.
Exploring the Secrets: Unique Features
The pool areas were a highlight, featuring swim-up bars, infinity pools, and private cabanas. The immaculately landscaped grounds created a tropical paradise, and the beachfront access allowed for a seamless transition between poolside relaxation and oceanfront serenity.
Only Secrets guests are allowed to use the relaxing Secrets pool but Secrets guests are allowed to walk next door to the more “party vibe” pools at the Breathless Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa pools.
Environmental Responsibility
Secrets Riviera Cancun has implemented various eco-friendly initiatives, including waste reduction programs, water conservation efforts, and the use of environmentally friendly products.
I was pleased to see the resort’s dedication to preserving the natural beauty of the Riviera Maya. The lush landscaping, abundant greenery, and efforts to minimize the ecological impact of the resort added an extra layer of appreciation for my stay.
