Real review from someone who’s been to over 20 all-inclusives!
This resort is truly a foodie’s paradise. If you’ve been to other all-inclusives, you know the food is usually just okay — but not here. Every meal was impressive. At night, you’ll find little food stands like a taco truck, a fruit-and-crepe cart, and even a fresh juice station. Everything tastes fresh and made with care.
There are plenty of restaurants, and none require reservations, which I loved — though be prepared for a bit of a wait during busy times (we waited up to two hours once). It’s not a big deal though; you can grab a drink and hang out until your table is ready.
The resort itself is stunning. There are so many pools and quiet corners that it never feels crowded. The steakhouse was a highlight — the bone marrow tartare and ceviche were incredible.
We had an oceanfront room. The view was nice, but the beach itself isn’t the typical turquoise-blue water you’d expect from Cancun — so if you’re coming for the beach, keep that in mind. You definitely trade a “wow” beach for amazing food and resort quality here.
We also upgraded to the Preferred Club. The main perks were a private check-in area with snacks, and access to the rooftop pool and restaurant, which were both worth it for the quieter vibe and great service.
Overall, we loved our stay and will only book Secrets Resorts moving forward. Highly recommend for couples who value great food, great service, and a relaxing, upscale atmosphere.
