Secrets Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa

Cancun, Mexico

Virgin rating

The hotel

Unlimited luxury, completely adults-only, with everything you might possibly need from an all-inclusive holiday included. Take a dip in the pool, or put your toes in the sand and swim in the sea instead. Try your hand at a range of water sports, and if you're into golf, you're in luck as there're 3 courses nearby with your name on. With access to the Breathless Resort next door, there's a whole range of places to eat and drink at all times of day, whether it's watching the sun set with a cocktail in hand, or picking up a quick breakfast before a day by the pool. And after a day in the sun, your suite will be a welcome retreat with everything from pillow menus to your very own Tequila bar.

Had the greatest experience with my husband disconnecting from work and the daily routine. Staff attention was top-notch, very clean, and entertainment was on point.

The hotel is nice for a couple getaway, it only has one restaurant but you can go to breathless next to it. The best restaurant is the French one. Luis is the best and Esther. The entertainment is not good at all. Everything they put on the pictures is a lie no entertainment whatsoever outside in the pool or near the beach. I think the best thing about this hotel was our room no bottles like noted and swim out was good at front ocean. The ocean is dirty and small. Would not go again compared to the other secrets.

We had an amazing time and the staff was so friendly and helpful. Stephen was a fantastic host! Andres was also helpful, as was Mancel, Johnny, Manuel, Christian, Angell, Frank, Joaquin, and the rest of the staff. We will definitely be back.
