We had an absolutely delightful time at Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Maya Cancun. The resort is spaciously designed with spectacular views. Every meal was amazingly presented and tasted delicious. The staff was always friendly and tried to accommodate our every wish. The breeze by the ocean was so wonderful to experience and the service on the beach took care of everything from massages and food service to cold towels and sunglass cleaning. The service was impeccable! The entertainment staff worked so hard with all kinds of fun activities and the restaurant staff was so attentive making us feel special with every visit. All of the staff should be commended for their outstanding customer service skills. Just a few I can remember with their names include; our building 16 concierge Marcelo – he always made sure we were cared for and took care of our every need, Erika the UVC representative – was extra kind to us making sure we were whole after a luggage tag was lost, Xochitl – gave the most relaxing and enjoyable massages both at the beach and in the spa, the Bordeaux restaurant Chef – made the best signature salmon dish, it wasn’t on the menu but should be, our Bordeaux server Gilberto was especially professional and detailed in the presentation of our meals (we kept coming back), and all of the entertainment team especially America – who spoke to us often and made sure we didn’t miss a thing. Our favorite restaurants were Bordeaux, Portofino, Oceana, and the Seaside Grill. We are grateful for all the service we received to make for such a relaxing and wonderful anniversary experience.

We reserved the preferred swim out and that was the best decision ever!! Food, staff, drinks and activities were amazing!! Make sure you go to see one of the shows, you won’t regret it! Our concierge Roberto was the best of the best!! So sweet and accommodating. We had dinner in the wine cellar and our waiter was Raul and he was the best of the best!! Very informative about all kinds of wine and champagne. Best attitude! The seaweed was a bit out of control but that has nothing to do with the resort it’s just the season. Be prepared to get hit up about a 90 minute presentation. Seriously though you won’t regret staying here! Read less

We love this resort! From check-in to check-out, we were taken care of. Our building's (26) concierge, Roger, was amazing; he was very courteous, hardworking, and organized. The pool entertainment and wait staff were all very upbeat and great; our pool waiter, Helio, was awesome! We loved the restaurants; we especially loved the poolside dinner at Oceanside. Our waiter, Alex, was great and had great recommendations for our food and drinks. We stayed at this resort a few years ago and were pleasantly surprised that the quality, service, and even the staff were the same! It says a lot when you have a consistent staff. This makes us want to continue to come back. There was construction, seaweed, and even rain, but none of it changed the experience. The staff worked around it, and the entertainment was still on point! Kudos to the operations manager because we didn't feel like we lacked in any way in our experience. We will definitely be back.
