Dear Friends,
If you’re dreaming of a luxury escape to the Mexican Caribbean, Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun is one resort that should be at the top of your list. I personally stayed here in March 2022, and even now—years later—I still think about how peaceful, pampering, and perfect the entire experience was.
This adults-only all-inclusive resort in the Riviera Maya has everything you’d want in a romantic getaway: a world-class beach, gorgeous swim-out suites, gourmet dining, top-shelf drinks, and service that feels effortless. Here’s my full review and tips for making the most of your stay.
First Impressions of Secrets Maroma Beach
From the moment we arrived, the attention to detail stood out. Cold towels and champagne at check-in? Yes, please. The resort grounds are tropical and immaculate, filled with lush greenery, serene walkways, and hidden corners perfect for quiet time.
The Beach: Truly One of the Best in Mexico
Maroma Beach is consistently ranked one of the most beautiful beaches in the world—and it lives up to the hype. Soft, powdery white sand and calm turquoise water stretch as far as the eye can see. There are plenty of loungers, attentive beachside drink service, and peaceful vibes all day long. We rented a private cabana to make our beach day extra-special!
Swim-Out Suite Review: Worth It?
We stayed in a first-floor swim-out suite, and it was absolutely worth it. Having our own private pool access made everything feel extra indulgent. Whether it was an early morning float or a quiet dip before dinner, we used it every day. The suite itself was elegant, spacious, and well-appointed—with a king bed, large bathroom, and private terrace.
One of my favorite features? The Secrets Box—a discreet room service drop-off so you can enjoy breakfast (or late-night dessert!) without anyone knocking on your door.
Secrets Maroma Beach: A Truly All-Inclusive Experience
Unlike some resorts that nickel-and-dime you for every extra, Secrets Resorts are truly all-inclusive. Your stay includes:
-
Unlimited à la carte dining
-
Top-shelf spirits and drinks
-
24-hour room service
-
Pool and beach wait service
-
Daily activities and nightly entertainment
-
No wristbands, no reservations (for most restaurants), and no surprise charges
It’s the kind of vacation where you can truly relax.
The Spa by Pevonia: A Must-Visit
The Secrets Spa by Pevonia was one of the highlights of our trip. It’s beautifully designed with a full hydrotherapy circuit, tranquil treatment rooms, and peaceful outdoor lounges. I booked a massage on our second day—and it was so good, I went back again before we left. The therapists were intuitive and professional, and the entire spa experience felt like a deep exhale. Even if you’re not a spa regular, I highly recommend booking at least one treatment.
Dining at Secrets Maroma Beach
The food here is outstanding. With nine restaurants and a café, you’ll never be bored with the options. Our favorites were the French restaurant, Bordeaux, and the fresh seafood dishes at the pool grill.
There are no reservations required at most venues, which means you can dine on your own schedule. Every restaurant offers something unique, and the presentation and flavors exceeded expectations—especially for an all-inclusive.
Of course, the drinks were equally impressive. Whether it was a margarita by the pool, wine with dinner, or cocktails at the piano bar, we never waited long or got anything watered down.
Daily Activities & Entertainment
Secrets Maroma strikes the perfect balance between relaxation and recreation. You can do as little or as much as you’d like—yoga on the beach, snorkeling, beach volleyball, or lounging by the pool. In the evening, the live entertainment was surprisingly good—think acrobatics, live music, and themed events without feeling over-the-top.
Travel Tip: Book the Preferred Club
If you’re looking for a more elevated experience, I highly recommend booking a Preferred Club room at Secrets Maroma Beach. Here’s what it includes:
-
Private Preferred Club lounge with premium snacks and drinks
-
Upgraded mini-bar and bath amenities
-
Access to an exclusive Preferred Club beach and pool area
-
Personalized concierge service
-
Early check-in and late check-out (subject to availability)
It’s ideal for travelers who appreciate a little more privacy and VIP service during their stay.

Whether you’re celebrating a honeymoon, anniversary, or just need to disconnect and recharge, this resort delivers in every category: beautiful rooms, world-class beach, elevated dining, and genuinely thoughtful service.
Having personally stayed here, I can confidently say it’s one of my favorite properties in the Riviera Maya—and I wouldn’t hesitate to return.
