This was one of my favorite resorts that I have visited. The vacation experience was very enjoyable as the resort has a very friendly staff, excellent dining, comfortable rooms and numerous activities. Starting off with the dining, there are a wide option of restaurants offered throughout the resort. All the restaurant were easy to get into without any reservations (we had to have reservations at other resorts) The highlight was the food, the best we have experienced at any Secrets. Our favorite was the Bordeaux restaurant, although the Portofino was excellent as well. In addition the drinks at all the bars made were wonderfully mixed and served. Our favorite servers were Moises, Pablo and Andreas in the Bordeaux and Manual in the Portofino. For activities, we enjoyed the pools. The best experience was the pool on the 8th floor overlooking the resort and ocean. Wonderful ambience and service at the pool. Best pool server was Julio, always looks out after you. When it came to other activities, Aydee of the entertainment team was instrumental in giving us the information. She was always fun to visit with when we saw her throughout the resort. We played Pickleball every morning with their instructor Rafael. He had players at all levels out playing, giving the new players assistance and tips while setting up games for the more experience players. The resort also had a well equipped gym that we visited every morning. They had a spin instructor giving a class every morning, but we did not take the class. Our room was very comfortable. spacious bathroom area with a shower giving you two options of shower heads to use. It had a super plush bed with plenty of pillows. The Secrets and Dreams share some of the common areas at this resort. The Secrets is located on the fourth floor and higher which offers exclusivity to the adults/couples for some of the restaurants and pools if you don't want to be around the kids. I would recommend this resort for anyone looking for a relaxing vacation at a top quality resort destination on the coast in Bahia Mita, just north of Puerto Vallarta.

Our Wedding Party and guests of over 90 people had a wonderful experience before, during, and after the wedding day. Details were excellent and our Wedding Planner, worked beautifully to make my daughter's day very special.

Trust the poor reviews. Have been all over mexico and never met such a dirty resort or a resort with so much misleading information. The Preferred versus Secrets labelling leads you to be stopped at every corner for them to tell you "can't go there or can't come in here" when we had the preferred package. The coffee shop is amazing and Pao at the preferred check in was patient and sweet, letting us into a restaurant we were restricted from.

Not all Secrets resorts are created equal, apparently. I had such high hopes, and it was the most disappointing vacation I’ve ever had. It’s just a slick concrete and glass beast plopped in the jungle. The layout was ridiculous, annoying, frustrating, unnecessary, and totally unenjoyable. It requires way too much walking and we were never able to find “our spot” and just relax. Let me explain why… Our room was a preferred club panoramic view on level 6. It was a view out the back of the property next door and a dog that barked all week. The bathroom shower is open to the entire room, so there is no privacy. The vanity is ridiculous and the whole thing is clearly designed by a man that doesn’t use toiletries or lighting to get ready. The sinks were gigantic and left no room for any stuff. Can’t see enough anywhere in the room to apply makeup. Closet, safe, nightstands were ok. We never used the plunge pool because it was ice cold. The adult side buffet was on our floor. Breakfast and coffee there was good, and outside the buffet was the preferred club bar. It is the only place AT THE ENTIRE RESORT to get a drink before 11 am. Yes, that’s correct. From our room down to the beach or the level 0 pools is a 10-15 minute adventure involving 2 different sets of elevators and then you get down there and you cannot even get a water to drink until 11. The pools on 0 were better than the pools on 6 & 8, but only because they were real pools, not just 2 feet deep like 6 & 8. None were clean, all had floating debris and suntan oil. Food was okay, but none of the restaurants blew us away. The burgers and fries at the Manatees pool were good and our best dinner was probably El Patio. The steaks at El Patio were better than the steaks at Bluewater Grill. Our dinner at Seaside Grill was pretty good, but the lunch vibe was too noisy and crazy. I wanted to love this place, but my reaction was just visceral hatred and it didn’t get better as the week went on. We actually changed our flights to leave a day early. I just didn’t want to be there anymore. Drinks were okay. The employees were okay. Our butler was worthless and only ever said no. We would never ever come back to this resort again, sorry. It wasn’t relaxing or special at all.

Cannot say enough about this beautiful resort. Would 100 % go again. The food is very good especially the market cafe for breakfast , the Blue Water grill and Bordeaux. Did not use room service as we were so busy enjoying the resort we did not have time. Coco Cafe was open 24hours and had great coffees snack and gelato for a quick bite. The staff is AMAZING. Really just felt a great deal of warmth from the Mexican people. Do not miss Tacoyatl for amazing street tacos and Mexican goodies in a cool vibe. ALL the bars were outstanding. All in all a great value
