This month we will review the last 3 Secrets Resorts. They are located in the Riviera Maya area of Mexico. They are the Secrets Akumal, Secrets Maroma Beach, And Secrets Riviera Cancun. These are the final 3 Secrets Resorts in the AM Resorts Secrets chain.
The first one we will look at is the Secrets Riviera Cancun. This used to be the Preferred Club section of the Breathless Resort so now the complex holds the Breathless Resort and the Secrets Riviera Cancun Resort. This makes sense because the Preferred Club section of the Breathless was the quiet section. It sits on a beautiful stretch of beach with the ability to walk forever. Guests do have access to the Breathless Resort next door, but the Secrets is like a private quiet sanctuary that you can retreat to. There is enough separation that the activities at the Breathless resort do not impose on the tranquility of the Secrets Resort.
Accommodations at the Secrets Riviera Cancun consist of all Preferred Club level Jr. Suites and Suites starting with the Preferred Club Jr Suite Tropical View, the Preferred Club Jr Suite Ocean View, Preferred Club Jr Suite Swim-out Tropical View, Preferred Club Jr Suite Ocean Front, Preferred Club Jr Suite Swim-out Ocean Front, 1,076 sq. ft.
