Secrets Resorts & Spas

One of the best resorts I’ve visited. From the room itself to the staff, everything was first-​class. Friendly faces at every turn. I will definitely be back!

Had an absolute awesome time at Secrets. All of their pictures on their website were very accurate. All décor is upscale and beautiful. Food was delicious. I took a star away, because they didn’t have filet mignon. It wasn’t lobster season, so maybe that’s why they didn’t have lobster? I heard you could have paid extra? The pool wait staff was the best!!! Another reason for the lost star was the ‘membership’ presentation. We knew what we were getting into and were possibly interested. After their 5 salesmen and the change in their attitude, from friendly to almost degrading, we chose to not participate. Then, everyday we would see them walking in the hallways, etc., it make it awkward. Besides that part, the property was beautiful. A little far from Cabo San Lucas, (and pricey $ 180 round trip taxi), and they should have a better discount for guest to play golf. I really wished they played more top 40 music all day at maybe one of the pools. More beach life would have been good too. We may come back with a group of people, to create more fun/​laughs. It was very romantic and maybe ²⁄₃ days max would have been perfect. Also, wanted to shout out to Lia. She was an entertainer (water activities, painting, yoga, etc.), her personality was awesome and it was neat seeing her everyday. The daily golf putting tournament was a lot of fun too (my game improved ;)

This place is AWESOME !!! Guys if you want a place to get your romance on, and act like you got it all together you have to visit Secrets. In fact you don’t have to leave the resort because they have almost everything you need or want. However it’s not «cheap» so I would suggest this as a special occasion destination. By the way the spa and golf course are also top notch.

Was great until I went down with food poisoning. Have to be careful, no doubt people are friendly, facilities are great, but going down for 1.5 days offsets any positives. Not the only one in the group who went down with food poisoning.
14 bowl movements in an 8 hour period, dehydration, high blood pressure, high heartbeat as a result. Won’t be going back.
Had just hired new food services director which makes sense. They need someone to fix the quality foods served.

Really loved Staying here. Had a swim out suite, all of the restaurants were awesome, staff was friendly. The spa was one of the most beautiful spas I have ever been to. It is a bit far from the fun but that can be a good thing depending on what you’re looking for.

Beautiful resort with an amazing staff! Every meal was delicious. My favorite part of the trip was the pool service. All the waiters there really hustle and no one skimps on pouring the top shelf. No complaints.
*Be aware of the overly entitled rich bitches that vist. you’re bond to run into at least one a day yelling and cursing at staff.

We just returned from a week at Secrets Resorts & Spas in Cabo, Sur, Mexico. What an exciting adventure! This resort is one of the best we’ve experienced. Great shows, food, music. Our pool-​side experiences were greatly enhanced by «Gabino», our server. He was attentive, proficient and very friendly. He always went the extra mile to make us comfortable and special. Thanks «Gabi!»
We enjoyed the restaurants, especially the Portofino. Our room was very clean and well-​attended. The entire staff is very courteous & helpful. I will definitely recommend this resort to friends & family. Thank you all!

Not as good as Secrets Maroma Beach, but way better than Secrets Capri.
This is a new facility and it has lots of nice touches. It’s missing their French restaurant. The Mexican restaurant did not have working heaters for the outdoor patio, but the others did.
This place hosts lots of corporate conventions, so the quality of service drops dramatically when the groups roll in. Otherwise service is great.
The golf course that the rooms overlook belong to the next door Marriott, do there’s only a 10% discount available. Most of the rooms have great ocean views, so the preferred club is an unnecessary upgrade.

Absolutely an amazing experience! Unbelievable service, the resort was absolutely immaculate. For such a large resort it never felt crowded, plenty or room at the pools and bars. Oceana was our favorite for dinner, great view of the ocean. Our server prepared a table-​side flaming dessert for us, very delicious. There was always something going on at secrets. Every evening with turn down service there an agenda for the next day.
Only drawback is that Secrets is far away from some excursion locations but the peace and quiet was well worth the cost a cab (taxi station right next to the resort). Look for excursions with pickup and drop off $ 25 cab to San Jose 10 minutes or $ 60 ride from Cabo San Lucas 30 plus minutes.
The hotel spa was unbelievable. Almost any spa service gets u free all day access to the sauna and steam room and hydrotherapy pool circuit ($ 70 value).
I would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for an adults only resort. Wish we could’ve stayed longer.

We booked through Costco to travel to secrets resort puerto los cabos for our honeymoon. I thought I should tell you our experience.
THE BAD:
–Right when my wife and I arrived at the resort for our honeymoon, we were handed champagne and greeted with smiles. We were so excited to be on our honeymoon, especially in a all inclusive resort like this. We read all the reviews and knew that this was the place we wanted to go. Once we got our bags off the shuttle we went to check in, now this is where it got me quite upset. My wife and I booked our trip through Costco and we booked the Junior Suite Swim-​out Ocean view King bed, for 7 nights. Costco guarantee a complimentary upgrade that will be available at check in. So when we booked our room we were looking forward to getting a better one than we paid for. This is not what happened. They tried to upgrade us to the room that we already paid for, they didn’t believe me that that is what we already paid for so I had to show them. Once they saw that they said that we were in the farthest building on the resort and they could upgrade us to the same room that we had to another building that was closer for $ 1300 USD!!! EXCUSE ME! They did not give us a upgrade, in fact we had to use our $ 200 resort credit plus an additional $ 650 USD to get the same room we PAID for already in a different building so we didn’t have to use a golf cart. Now the original room they had us in didn’t even have an ocean view like we paid for. This was a disaster. I was so pissed and on my honeymoon trying to enjoy every minute with my wife we just paid the difference of the $ 650. Now that this was over we had to go and talk to another person about becoming a member and attending a 90 minute lecture/​sales pitch! NO THANKS! I have already spent enough money.
–Bringing our marriage license for our free honeymoon package and we didn’t even get it until Rueben got us handled. He is below in my comments. Also, we were told we get two free nights for our 1 year anniversary. That didn’t happen until we had to pull teeth and talk to 3 different people and in the end they filled out the coupon wrong.
–Advertising as a golf resort is a crock, you have to pay a taxi to even take you to the course. You get no discount as they say you do but you pay what everyone else pays. The golf course is all inclusive which is nice but if your tee time was at 7:30am like mine, you get no benefits for that because the food places weren’t even open until I was on hole 13.
–The resort closes parts of the resort for private events and does not tell you when or give you a heads up. You will just get a 30min-​1hr notice. Like for instance one night we wanted to go to the Italian restaurant, well we couldn’t because there was a private event. or even one day we got kicked out of the pool for another event. This kept happening. They need to show and tell you what is going on a few days in advance so you can plan accordingly.
–The daily newspaper they give out should give the details of these closures.
–Service at Himitsu the restaurant was extremely slow, but the food is amazing
–The dress code in the book they give you doesn’t match with what they say at the restaurants.
–The room above us started leaking water over our balcony for hours! Once I finally got the concierge to find out who was in the room they said they couldn’t help us for another 2 hrs. So we had to listen to water pouring over our balcony for about 3.5 hrs when we were trying to take a nap. The water stayed on our patio for the remainder of our trip which was about two days.
–Every time you ask someone for a price on transportation its a different price and a different time. Need to be all on the same page.
–They only provide you with airplane bottles and snacks the first three days, after that you get nothing. Including water bottles, that isn’t right especially how hot it is down there!
–There was a sewer smell in the shower and around our building
THE GOOD:
–Rueben at the preferred club conseirge is amazing! He saved our experience actually! Thanks buddy!
–Marcos at our private dinner on the beach was absolutely amazing!
–Fernando was very helpful and great personality,
–Maid service was excellent
–food was amazing
–pool waiters were attentive and great like Pilar
–bathrooms were always clean and in convenient locations
–The whole staff was polite and very accommodating. They really care.
–It feels like two different resorts one in the day and one at night, that is cool
— Entertainment team was great! They really did a great job keeping you busy
–There were always seats at the pool with towels

Amazing resort. Clean, the food is amazing, rooms are beautiful, staff is nice. I have not 1 bad thing to say about this place. I will definitely be coming back.

Just spent 4 days here & let me tell you it was amazing. Everything was so clean, & the food was excellent. All the staff was super friendly & very attentive. The pools were awesome with ocean views for as far as you could see. Not to mention the fact that it’s adults only makes it extremely nice, the last thing you wanna do on vacation is have someone’s kids splashing you or screaming all day. Highly recommend the ceviche trio & if you can upgrade to a swim out pool, it’s really nice being able to be in the pool at 1 in the morning if you want to. Can’t wait to plan our next trip.

This place was so much fun! Staff was incredible, friendly and attentive. The grounds were beautiful and well-​kept. The food was delicious! Some items were hit or miss imo, but if you didn’t like your entrée then you could easily order something else. The drinks were slightly weak so I would order doubles. There were plenty of activities to keep you busy if you wanted. I didn’t feel like we had to leave the resort at all. I would definitely come back again!

Nice clean place, good drinks, the food is hit or miss depending on which restaurant you eat at. The pool is nice, lots of fun activities planned by the staff, the A/​C in the room is crazy cold like an igloo. So I have to say overall I liked the place.

My boyfriend and I booked this resort through Costco. We had extremely high expectations and I must say we were not at all disappointed.
Upon arrival, the staff greets you with a chilled glass of champagne and a scented cool towel.
We were promptly directed to the lobby for check in. All the desk agents were busy so we were then directed to the lounge until one of the agents were available. The lounge was stunning and high end as it could be. A few minutes later, we were checked in and ready to enjoy our vacation.
Being that this is an all inclusive resort, I highly recommend trying a little bit of everything. The first night we went to their Asian themed restaurant called Himitsu. The decorations inside would rival any restaurant in Los Angeles or Orange County. Great ambiance. For an all inclusive, the food was pretty stellar. I recommend the duck Sichuan, the sashimi (very fresh, presented as a flower), and the pad Thai. Honestly though, just try anything that you think sounds good. If you don’t like it, go on to the next dish! Dessert was excellent as well. My favorite was the green tea sorbet with strawberry sauce.
I won’t breakdown the entire trip day by day but just the gist.
Pools here are excellent. Is there a better word for excellent? If so please insert here. Get there early and reserve yourself a floatie. I was floating in mine like a princess as my boyfriend towed me around.
Favorite drink: Miami vice. It’s a piña colada con fresa.
Portofino restaurant is their Italian place. The pasta was good but not epic. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t eat there again. I just know what I would stick to (lobster ravioli). The dish of the night was osso bucco. Hands down best dish there.
Gym– very good. We worked out twice. Everything was set up nicely. No complaints.
Beach– man that sea of Cortez is one unforgiving son of a bitch. I wouldn’t go in there with that undertow. Lovely set up of the outdoor activity area. Plenty of places to sit and palabras all around.
Oceana restaurant– breakfast here is nice. Dinner was kind of meh for me. Probably least favorite dinner place. Breakfast was good.
Seaside grill– perfect lunch by poolside restaurant. Ceviche was great.
El Patio restaurant– my favorite restaurant of the trip. I would certainly hope that a Mexican resort would serve excellent Mexican food. They didn’t disappoint. Highlight was the ceviche Acapulco style (I think it was with papaya). Coco flan was great!
Market café– buffet breakfast. Wasn’t the best but was still good. I loaded up on all the fresh fruit!
The coffee at the resort was super strong and delicious. I recommend that you all try it.
We had such an amazing and relaxing time at Secrets Los Cabo. We saw that there were quite a few weddings taking place. I would say if someone was thinking of doing a destination wedding, know that the staff is very professional and are detail oriented.
Thank you Secrets for making our vacation so special and relaxing.

As far as properties in (or near) Cabo go, I think this is one of the best places you can get. The staff here is friendly (though sometimes unorganized) and the food is really top notch. The beach is really far from the hotel buildings but if the beach is important to you, ask for a room in building 8 (this is also a quiet area). If you prefer to be near the restaurants & parties, ask for building 4. They are about 35 min from Cabo downtown but only 10 min from San Jose, which is a little nicer for shopping.

I would go back in a heartbeat. There are a lot of good things to say about Secrets Puerto Los Cabos but for me it boiled down to a few key things:
Location/​Grounds– This location is a bit out of town, and the shops at the resort don’t have everything you might need, but if you ask the bellman you can get a private car or a taxi into town for cheap. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained, and almost everyone greets you and says hello as you walk around.
Service– As good as it gets. The staff go above and beyond, and don’t seem to know the word «no.» Even though it’s all inclusive, tipping will get you almost anything you want. More than once we requested something that wasn’t on the menu, or wasn’t part of the normal service, and every time the staff came though.
Food– I didn’t have a bad meal here. Were there some things I liked more than others? Sure, but that’s the nature of eating out. You can’t win them all. Overall, I give the food 4 out of 5.
Feeling like a swamp monster after drinking too much the night before? Call up room service at 11am because you can’t get out of bed– just tell them what you would like– I didn’t even look at the menu, I just asked. Again, a couple bucks tip won’t hurt.
Quick story– We were enjoying some beverages out by the beach bar, which is a little ways away from the nearest food service, and a chef came out with a big serving tray of ceviche on crackers and gave it out to anyone that wanted. One of the people at the bar didn’t want it, but was hungry. A few minutes later a server showed up with food from one of the restaurants in a covered dish. Just an example of above and beyond service.
P. S. Room service is included, mini bar in the room is included, everything is included. Except the spa, and the high end Tequila that’s extra. Tips, I’m telling you people– float a couple bucks here and there will get you anything you want.
Secrets Puerto Los Cabos, I will be back!

oh yes! this place is amazing! beyond my expectations!
I am generally not a fan of all inclusive, but Secrets knows how to do it!
this resort is an adults only resort (they family versions is called Dreams).
There were quite a few honeymooners, but also older couples, girls trips etc…
We came here with 3 other couples for a getaway. The other couples selected the resort and invited us to join them… sure .why not?
We purchased our package through Costco.
heads up… if you are with others. make sure you purchase the exact same category or you may end up in a completely different building. It would be nice if we had known this… we ended up having to upgrade when we checked in. ugh! if i had known this I could have purchased through costco for less!
the grounds are gorgeous!
our room included a concierge lounge (totally worth it to get apps and drinks in a relaxed intimate room)
we started and ended our days here…
overall food was good… I wasn’t a fan of the buffet. there was nothing wrong with it. just not my thing.
we ate at the asian restaurant, the mexican restaurant and the seafood restaurant, the pool quick service place and the sit down place by the pool. (my friends went to the italian place but I went to bed early that night and missed out. They said it was the best meal there)…all the food was good. I have no complaints at all. and i’m a bit of a food snob. I ate like 10 different kinds of ceviche during our mini trip!
drinks were all good quality… i live by the belief that I never drink cheap alcohol… i would rather not drink at all… no headaches at all!!!
good selection at all bars… the concierge room had a few additional options available to us (score!)
I love love love this place! it is pricey… but if you can swing it… it is very worthwhile.
oh and wifi throughout the resort… i could facetime our friends or my kids back home whenever i wanted to!

My first time at an all inclusive. I’ve heard the pros and cons but decided to go with a small group for three nights. Wow! What an amazing place. Beautiful and newer. We stayed in one of the rooms with a swim out pool. It was a nice room with a great shower. The restaurants were top notch and even some of the special buffets were quite good.
The best thing about this place is that it is for adults only. Leave the kids at home and enjoy pools without loud little kids everywhere! The grounds are beautiful and the beach is gorgeous. There’s a nice bar right by the beach with swing set seats as chairs. Service is top notch here. They serve top shelf alcohol too. I could go on and on…
But here’s a few tips:
Tip. Even though not necessary a few bucks here and there will provide an even better experience especially in the pool area.
Room service can be very busy and slow. Order even if you’re not hungry. By the time it gets there you will be.
The Japanese restaurant is the only place that requires a reservation. They only take same day reservations. You can call first thing in the morning at 7am. The only part of the restaurant that needs reservations is the teppanyaki tables. The other part of the restaurant doesn’t need reservations.
I observed the pro all inclusive guests all had thermal mugs. That’s smart because they filled up their mugs with cold drinks and it keeps it cold in the hot sun!
Be specific with your dunk order. I found a vodka cranberry had more cranberry than anything else. Instead order a grey goose with a splash of cranberry. Much better!
In speaking with other guests who have been to a lot of all inclusive places they all said this was one of the best by far. I will definitely be back!

Hermoso Hotel con varios tipos de Restaurantes, habitaciones con buen gusto y cómodas, servicio de primera, cerca del Aeropuerto, construido en una nueva sección llamada Puerto Los Cabos, cerca de la Marina, club de Golf impresionante

This is the newest Secrets in Los Cabos — an all-​inclusive, adults only resort located in beautiful Puerto Los Cabos.
Rooms & upgrades:
All of the rooms here are stunning, but the ocean views are spectacular! Room upgrades include a swim up pool, or a balcony with a jacuzzi tub. Further, you can upgrade from garden view to ocean view. The Preferred Club upgrade gives you private concierge, a clubhouse with snacks and premium beverages throughout the day, more convenient room location (we were in building 6 — a stone’s throw from everything), etc. We took advantage of the added benefits often, though the jury is still out on whether or not they’re ACTUALLY worth the price. But I don’t think I’ll find out next time!
If you’re celebrating a honeymoon or anniversary, make sure to bring either a copy or a photo of your marriage certificate (they don’t need the original) for some very nice extras during your stay (including a banner on your door, 15% off spa services, and a beautifully catered romantic breakfast).
Food:
Excellent all inclusive food options including Italian, Seafood, Mexican and Japanese restaurants; a buffet; a poolside grill; 24 hour room service. Reservations are only required at the hibachi tables of the Japanese restaurant. We especially loved the Mexican restaurant, El Patio, and hibachi, though the food was excellent everywhere. The service in all of the restaurants was beyond compare. A 5 star dining experience every time.
Service:
Phenomenal! It seems there is no request too large and I don’t think any of the staff knows the word «no». There were a number of times on our trip where they went above and beyond for us. For example, they have the most delicious chocolate chip cookies in the lobby where you check in, but they’re not offered anywhere else on the resort. One night, with a hankering for these cookies, we went to the Preferred Club and asked where we could find them. A few minutes later, one of the staff showed up in a golf cart with a dozen cookies wrapped in a basket just for us!
Activities:
There’s sports and activities offered daily at the pool — water aerobics, pool basketball and volleyball, poolside games and raffles, and even poolside poker. It’s there if you want it but none of this stuff will make your pool day any less relaxing. Each night there is a different event (some of them are a little lame but they’re nice to check out) — a beach party, magic show, «rock show», casino night, etc. Or if you want something a little more low-​key they show a movie outside nightly with popcorn and refreshments. We watched «The Lucky One» and «The Notebook».
Pools:
There are 2 and they’re both beautiful! One is smaller and more secluded with amazing views of the ocean and mountains. The big pool is closer to the pool bar (swim-​up and walk-​up) and has more of the action. During our stay there was only 30% occupancy at the resort so we never had an issue finding a great spot at either pool. Plenty of umbrellas and tables, and the poolside concierge will help you lay out your towels and set up your spot. The drink service was fantastic and I was even able to order lunch from the poolside grill and eat it right in my lounger!
Other:
–Gym: Towels, both dry and cold, and water provided. High quality fitness equipment. Very busy in the mornings.
–Spa: did not use, but seemed very expensive. I live in Las Vegas with some of the best spas in the world and much lower prices so I didn’t partake.
Downsides:
–The restaurants are not all open every day, so you should ask for a schedule beforehand to plan your food itinerary if you don’t want to repeat restaurants too much. We found the food options to be very limited at certain times, despite all the restaurants they have.
–The daily itinerary (the Sundial) is sometimes not updated on the television and/​or not given to you. And sometimes it’s inaccurate as to which restaurants are open or closed that day.
–The music in the resort is so calming and relaxing at first… until you realize it’s on a constant loop and start getting REALLY annoyed by hearing the same stuff over and over. None of it is top 40, or even current or well known. That was probably my biggest peeve at the resort. The music was also very annoying at the gym and in the lobby bar.
–There is some serious construction eye sores right next to the resort as they’re building a Marriott property there. There was no noise whatsoever, it just looked terrible.
Overall:
Truly the vacation of a lifetime. You will NOT regret a penny spent on your trip to Secrets. As soon as we got home, my husband was already researching online for pricing to go back. Memories like this can’t be recreated!
