We visited Secrets Maroma for a wedding this past weekend. It was such a wonderful weekend getting to see our friends’ daughter get married in paradise. It was beautiful, relaxing, delicious food, very friendly and courteous staff members. They attended to our every need. The grounds are gorgeous, the beach is so pretty and it was such a great trip. I didn’t want to come back home! Marco was our concierge and he was so kind to us. He always had a smile and a welcome for us and always asked what we needed and what he could do for us. He would text us the schedule for the day each day we were there. We will be back! THANK YOU! Read less

A beautiful resort—the entire complex is stunning, truly a dream! The staff are incredible. Everyone always goes 100% out of their way to make sure you’re doing well, and it really shows. I would especially like to praise Francia from the concierge team and Uriel from the entertainment team. No matter what you needed for the room—cables, etc.—it was taken care of within minutes. And a very special thanks to Uriel from the entertainment team: whenever you had nothing to do, he was always there for you. I can especially recommend the kayak tour—it’s free and offers a different kind of experience. To the entire team: thank you for allowing me to spend so many wonderful days with you. Read less

Outstanding resort. Rooms, pool, lobby, restaurant super modern & clean. Amazing food. EVERYONE is very friendly & helpful. Our concierge Bramdon really took care of us. Most definitely recommend Preferred Club for the perks. Only drawback was all the sargassum the week we were there. Made it impossible to enjoy the ocean, and beach was limited enjoyment as well with all the trucks and heavy equipment removing all of it. But hey, they can’t control that. We would definitely return. Read less
