    Nice getaway

    The resort is beautiful. The rooms were nice and clean with lots of pillows. The swimout would have been nice if the water was heated. I’m from northern Ohio so when I saw people complaining the swim outs were cold I figured they were southerners (sorry lol). But even as a northerner I could not stand the frigid water. All the employees are amazing and really go above and beyond. The beach isn’t really swimmable but we knew that before we went. Overall a pleasant experience.

    Foodbourne illness?

    The hotel is nice with spacious and clean rooms, and the service staff is outstanding! The pool area servers were amazing and truly made our trip enjoyable. However, on Day 2, 4 out of 8 of our group got sick after eating at the Italian restaurant. Initially, we thought it was food poisoning, but we later learned that other guests who ate at different restaurants also fell ill. The pool area was not busy at all. The beach was disappointing—dirty and in need of a cleanup. It looked like sewage, with a pipe feeding from the river into that part of the ocean. Although some people were swimming there, we found it better to walk 3 km down the beach for a decent swim. We also learned that guests from the previous week were sick as well as some staff members. Despite these issues, the Rosewater staff was incredible. I requested chicken soup that wasn’t on the menu, and the chef kindly made it for me and another guest. I met him to express my gratitude for his accommodation. We informed concierge about our illness, but they got defensive. While we understand it's not their fault, we wanted to bring attention to this issue so that more care could be taken in food preparation. Overall, the resort itself was clean.

    Food Poisoning and/or Virus

    The hotel is nice, rooms are spacious and clean, the service staff is outstanding! The pool area servers were amazing and made the trip! However, we were there when there was an outbreak of either food poisoning or a virus. We learned about this on Day 2 from some guys on the Breathless side. We spent most of our time on the Secrets side, to learn many people were affected by this bug. Our 21 yo daughter was hit by the bug on Day 3, she became violently ill with vomiting and diarrhea. The housekeeping staff was amazing, but the hotel manager and front desk staff were unconcerned and unhelpful. We had the doctor to the room twice, at a price tag of $650. No one from the hotel management called to check in, try to accommodate us or make us feel like they cared. When we checked out, we left copies of the doctor bills and were told we'd here from management that day, 3 days later and no word!

    Good time

    The entire resort was fun. We had a great time engaging with the friendly stafff. I stayed on the Secrets side and I enjoyed Rosewater and the Hibachi restaurant (on the breathless side) the most. The food was always good and the drinks were great.

    A Travel Agents Review

    We just got back last night (December 1st) and I wanted to write an honest review as a Canadian Travel agent. My husband and I (mid-late 30s) traveled with my parents (late 60s-early 70s) to Secrets Riviera Cancun, and had an unbelievable experience. I will preface this by saying we are big beach people, in fact is it usually in our top 3 “must haves” when choosing a resort. So the fact that this property has a very low scoring beach, and was still one of our best trip experiences speaks volumes. The staff is what makes this property so special. Hands down. They literally cannot do enough for the guests, and the genuine hospitality is felt throughout the entire property. We spent most of our days over at the Breathless pool, where Edwin and Rogelio looked after us with the upmost respect and enthusiasm. Our personal favourite waiter was Pedro from the Mexican restaurant, who also works the special events like Thanksgiving dinner and Mexican night. His infectious laugh and attention to detail made for an unforgettable experience each day we saw him. Being an agent, I acknowledge I am very fortunate that I am able to travel and experience a lot of resorts, but there has never been a resort that I felt the need to return a second time, until this one. I will be counting the days until I return to see all our wonderful friends we have made at the Secrets/Breathless property. Thank you!!
