My wife and I recently returned from a wonderful, one week stay at Secrets Maroma. It was our second time there, and we will definitely return in the future. Yes the resort is beautiful, the food is amazing, and the “extras” are limitless. But, in my opinion, what really sets Secrets Maroma apart is the staff. The culture this staff has created, made it seem to put all of the guests in a good mood and ready to meet others and have fun. Our concierge, Angel Lopez, went above and beyond for us, at every opportunity. Not only did he meet our every need, but at each encounter, he asked if there was anything else that he could do. The activities staff was really something. Oscar, Angel, Omar, and Monica made every activity fun. I’m sorry that I didn’t get more names because they all were great. We brought books to read, but set them aside to enjoy the many activities with our new friends and the incredible staff. Our pool server, Dario, made sure our drinks were never empty. And always had a welcoming smile. We highly recommend Secets Maroma! Read less
