The hotel

This very popular adults-only resort is on its own little stretch of paradise, with the pure white flat sands and crystal clear waters of Maroma Beach. This all-suite resort is nestled in carefully manicured gardens with a huge infinity swimming pool at it's heart, offering stunning views of the electric-blue waters of the Caribbean Sea stretching out in front of you. This hotel offers elegance and a wealth of activities that will keep you amused all day. Try a treatment at the spa, tee-off at the nearby golf course, or there are plenty of water sports on offer such as sailing and kayaking. For true night owls, there is Desires Music Lounge, with a resident DJ and a selection of tropical drinks to keep you going until the early hours.

Secrets Maroma is a beautiful resort with an amazing staff and a spectacular beach! The team in the Preferred Club—Carlos, Alexis, Alfredo & Richard—were terrific! The food and the service were excellent. Our concierges Zayda and Roger took care of our every need. Luis & Mauricio on the Preferred beach staff were also great!

Amazing resort that pays attention to detail! We are UVC members and traveled with 7 other couples. Everyone raved about the service, food, and the beach. Spent a lot of time at the preferred beach … it was heaven! Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to return!

We haven't been to Mexico in quite a while but this resort made up for lost time. We can't complain about the food, staff, beach or accommodations. All of those things were more than we expected. We also enjoyed the trip the resort provided to shopping in Playa del Carmen at 5th Avenue. That was truly the highlight of our trip. My only disappointment is that I don't like living with wildlife. If there are a few animals wondering, no problem but it's evident that this resort is infested with coatis. So when I saw the coatis walking on the beach sand underneath some lounge chairs, I was done. Read less
