Romantic Escape at Secrets Riviera Cancun
Our Adults-Only Getaway in a Preferred Club Ocean View Suite
In September 2024, my wife and I escaped to paradise for a romantic, adults-only getaway at Secrets Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa—and it was exactly what we needed. Tucked between lush mangroves and the turquoise Caribbean Sea, this boutique-style resort delivered laid-back luxury, stunning ocean views, and the signature level of service we’ve come to expect from Secrets.
✨ Our Room: Preferred Club Junior Suite Ocean View
We booked a Preferred Club Junior Suite Ocean View, and from the moment we walked in, we were wowed. The view alone was breathtaking—endless blue water just outside our balcony doors. The room felt modern and peaceful, with plenty of space to unwind.
As Preferred Club guests, we enjoyed a number of upgraded amenities—private check-in, access to a premium lounge, and more personalized service that made our stay feel extra special.
🍽️ Dining: One Big Hit and a Few Misses
We found ourselves returning again and again to the Preferred Club restaurant. The atmosphere was elevated and intimate, and the food? Consistently excellent. It became our go-to spot for breakfast and dinner—it was that good.
Unfortunately, not every dining venue delivered the same experience:
The Mexican restaurant felt inauthentic—lacking the traditional flavors and spice we were hoping for, especially in a country known for its cuisine.
The Italian restaurant was the weakest link. As New Yorkers from the tri-state area, we have high expectations when it comes to Italian food—and this didn’t come close.
Even so, we never went hungry. The room service, poolside bites, and club-level offerings kept us satisfied.
☀️ A Chill Vibe with the Option to Turn Up
What makes Secrets Riviera Cancun unique is its connection to Breathless Riviera Cancun—a high-energy, party-forward resort next door. As Secrets guests, we had full access to both properties, which gave us the best of both worlds:
During the day, we soaked up the calm, romantic vibe of Secrets: quiet pools, relaxed lounges, and cozy beachfront spots.
When we wanted a little more energy, we crossed over to Breathless for live DJ sets, themed events, and a livelier scene.
It was the perfect balance—relax when you want, party when you feel like it.
Why Secrets Will Always Be Our Adults-Only Favorite
We’ve trusted the Secrets brand for years, and this trip only deepened our loyalty. The intimate atmosphere, the thoughtful service, the upscale feel without being pretentious—it all hits just right. Secrets Riviera Cancun may not be perfect, but the highlights far outweighed the few misses.
Final Thoughts
If you’re looking for a peaceful, romantic getaway in Mexico with a flexible vibe, Secrets Riviera Cancun is a fantastic option. Book into the Preferred Club for a noticeably elevated experience—and take full advantage of the dual access to both serenity and celebration.
