"Everything was wonderful. Staff was fantastic, friendly, and fun."

"We stayed at Hilton for one night. The room and facilities are super clean. Room is modern and comfortable and quiet. There’s a pool area for each building. I wish I booked all my stay here. The lobby is magnificent facing the ocean. You immediately feel luxurious when entering it. It’s worth the money comparing with other hotels in Cancun at the same price range. "

"amazing stay "

"What a magical resort! It’s a great place for a family vacation. We loved seeing the monkeys, coatis, and iguanas. The cenotes and natural surroundings were the main reasons we chose this resort. All the restaurant options were fabulous! We especially loved the Japanese restaurant, El Tempo. One great benefit of booking through Expedia is that the hotel concierge will make three restaurant reservations for you. The weather wasn’t ideal for us, but we embraced it—snorkeling in the rain and even spotting a small stingray at the resort’s beach. Be sure to bring water shoes, and you’ll have no trouble walking on the rocky parts of the shore. The rooms were perfect for families, and the bunk beds were an incredible option! The staff were fabulous and so was the night time shows. What a gem of a place! We can’t wait to return!"

"My wife and I just stayed here for a 4 night quick trip (1/24-1/28). This was our first time in a Secrets resort. We loved this place! Pros - The food was fantastic! The drinks were great - a little on the weak side, but we didn’t mind since day drinking is hard. :-) Grounds were well maintained. Never had a hard time getting a chair at the pool if you were out there before 10am. Staff was super friendly! Rooms are very nice - we had a swim out room and loved the pool. Cons - The only place to get bottled water is in the room, and I had to ask more than once to get it refilled. (Meaning, ask twice in the same day because no one showed) However - they have a really cool room service secret cabinet that they can drop it in, so they don’t have to disturb you when dropping things off. Marco the bartender at the Mexican restaurant, Jacob who worked in the pool area, and Gloria who appeared to manage the rooftop Preferred restaurant were wonderful! It’s a beautiful place - we would go again for sure. "

"Very nice resort "

"This is truly an amazing property and worth the money. The rooms were nice and clean. The food was top notch at all restaurants, especially the a la carte. We only visited Xplor park which was a lot of fun. My only reasons for not giving 5 starts in all categories were due to the following: 1. As noted in many reviews, the staff push you to attend a presentation for the expanded area of the hotel. This is actually a sales tactic for a membership (which you may or may not be interested in). Though they promise a 90 minute presentation in exchange for a $200 credit, it ended up being over 3 hours between the breakfast with the sales staff then further meetings with managers etc. etc. They need to be more honest up front about the time commitment. Fortunately, the $200 credit is paid at the end which we used at the spa with no issues. 2. We had a garden suite room. It was a ground level floor very close to where people walk to and from the restaurants or the pool. It becomes very loud at night as the room was not very sound proof. To avoid these issues, upgrade your room so you get a higher level, and avoid the sales presentation (unless you feel 3 1/2 hours of your time is worth $200USD). Overall, I will definitely come back in the future."

"Very nice resort."
