Mar 16, 2025Great location with a beautiful beach. Great service, food and drinks. Good spa.
Great location and beautiful resort. Very nice beach area, preferred amenities are great. Also great service. Our butlers Eddy and Anna at bldg 1 went above expectations. Also Moises at bldg 6. Elias at beach balis provide great service, also Cesar and Srita Diaz (LA) servirse at the beach bali and preferred pools. At the preferred lounge Gabby and Maria great service. Wonderful stay and we already booked again this place for 2026 stay. Food was very good. Room at bldg 1 excepcional oceanfront view and amenities in the room/balcony.

Great service, nice resort, delicious food, willing to come back.
We booked preferred room, which is great, spacious and has nice ocean view! The bathroom is good, we even have ocean view in the bathtub! The bathtub in terrace is impressive too. Our butler, Eduardo, gave us the best service, we’d like to give him 5/5 stars! The waiters in the resort are very nice, they smiled and said hello to us whenever they saw us. We definitely will come back and recommend it to our friends too.

Unreal Experience
The butler service was unbelievable. The daily text letting us know the activities for the day was great. They took care of all our requests. The preferred club pool and beach supervisor Eli is the man. He set us up every day on the beach in the morning and by the pool in the afternoon. Every restaurant was top notch and delicious. Highly recommended and would definitely go back!

Favorite all-inclusive of the 10+ we’ve experienced
My wife and I have stayed at over a dozen all-inclusives in the Cancun/Riviera Maya area, Puerto Vallarta, and the Dominican Republic, and Secrets Playa Blanca was our favorite. Listing highlights somewhat in the order we experienced them: - Short trip from the airport (35-40 min) - Super-fast check-in (Preferred Club - 5 min) - Minimal pressure to attend the Hyatt Club “timeshare” presentation (only took 3-4 emphatic “no thanks”) - Friendly 10-minute hosted familiarization walk around property - Rooms (3415, 3412) ready well before 3pm, luggage delivered just a few minutes after room arrival. Beautiful view of the ocean and the pool from the room. Spacious, well-appointed, nicely stocked mini-bar/snacks. - Excellent experience throughout our stay with our butler Eduardo. Even though his scheduled hours were noon-8pm daily, he consistently responded within minutes regardless of the time we contacted him (although we didn’t abuse the after-hours times). He scheduled dinners, Bali beds, water-therapy spa treatment (on a moment’s notice), and our chef’s table dinner at the Mexican restaurant, among other things. He also decorated our room one evening with rose petals and a filled hot tub for our anniversary. - Eduardo checked in with us multiple times per day via What’sApp or when he saw us in person to make sure everything was going well. He was genuinely interested in our satisfaction. - We had other great experiences with Christian, Sandra, Celeste, Abraham, and the wonderfully delightful Ali at the Preferred Club bar. While we’ve had great service at other resorts, SPB service was over-the-top. The staff was incredibly friendly, would initiate and participate in conversation as if they knew you your whole life, offer great suggestions for both on-property and off-property activities (like which ferry and golf cart companies to use for a day trip to Isla Mujeres, which places to eat there, etc.). They even help you with your “Spanglish”. It was impressive how many would recognize us as well as remember our names. - We only intended to rent a Bali bed for one day but ended up doing 3 days as they were so delightful (2nd row from the beach, 2nd bed from the right in the PC area each day). - Food was outstanding, we ate at the seafood, French, Italian, Asian (table as well as hibachi), and Mexican (chef’s table experience - which was wonderful - 5 custom courses not available in the restaurant, plus a tequila tasting), as well as the buffet several times, poolside grill and pop-ups, room service, and beach service. Each experience was great. - Drinks were prepared just right, quality liquors and ingredients. Favorites were the carajillo, caipirinha, margarita, and a surprisingly well-made old fashioned (both the bourbon and rum versions). - The water journey spa treatment (included with preferred) was very relaxing, highly recommended. I could easily go on. My wife and I always say “this place was nice, but we’ll try a different place next time” - Secrets Playa Blanca is the first place we’d return to for a repeat stay. It’s that great. It just needs to stay within the affordable range, which we’ve seen be an issue at previous resorts we’ve liked, they seem to nearly double in price within a year. Maybe I shouldn’t leave such a good review ;-)
