Secrets Moxche Playa Del Carmen

First impression—sweeping views, very clean, friendly service! This venue is definitely about the many pools in lush surroundings with different vibes for all preferences (but you do need to get your chair before 9am). All of this leads down to the powder-soft beach and ocean. They could stand to add more palapas and chairs to fully utilize the south end of the beach. The beach is gorgeous with super soft sand and some scattered palm trees. The resort does a diligent job of cleaning the beachfront—some days had sargasm in the water and some did not. My husband especially likes that is a very walkable beach. The poolside & beachside concierge were helpful and very willing to move chairs and umbrellas to help us get setup; but I have yet to find a resort that does not have a problem with “saved chairs” that nobody returns to. The rooms are very nice! We got a “better Garden View room” which had amazing privacy, facing the interior of the resort and one of the few GV with a tub on the terrace. The beds & blackout curtains are awesome!! Lots of space and fresh finishes in a very cool rustic-elegance vibe. Breakfast buffet was very good, with options for vegan and gluten- free bread station with toaster. Smoothie station and crepes station were popular options and of course our favorite is the omelette station. The pop-up taco stand and crepes cart were very popular for that “in-between time”. Dinners have been delicious and beautifully presented! We like having reservation options at some locations. Men generally wore long pants here in March and temperature was very comfortable. I did not see anyone turned away for shorts though. Overall a more nicely dressed clientele than some other locations. Music by the pool and in the evening was very enjoyable without drowning out conversations. The gym was busy but usually a bit of available space—lots of cardio equipment including Peloton bikes and a Spin class studio, another studio for yoga and Pilates. On the beach there were plenty of games and activities happening but we were glad that the staff only asked once and did not nag us to come play when we were just relaxing. Just a heads up that it is very challenging terrain for wheelchairs or mobility scooters (bumpy stone sidewalks) with many changes in elevation and not always an obvious ramp. I cannot comment on the shows or nightclub since we opted out. We were told that the swim out rooms had super-cold water this time of year. Overall we would highly recommend!! Side note: Our first 3 days coincided with a large work-trip group (300+); I’m not a huge fan of the convention excursions as they seem to consume all the resources …. It was so much more relaxing for the later part of our trip. We asked about the seasonality of conventions at the front desk and were told that March and October have a lot and then November has a lot of wedding parties.

This was an awesome trip! The entertainment team is awesome

Secrets Moxche is about 35 minutes from the airport. The beach is beautiful with plenty of options for lounge chairs. The water is beautiful and the food at the restaurants was amazing. The food far exceeded resort food. This food is 4 - 5 star quality. The room (we had an ocean view junior suite) was plenty roomy, clean with a terrace bath tub. This is our 2nd visit and we'll be back for 3rds. I highly recommend it.

Jessica, Miguel, Sandy, Jose fro m the entertainment crew were amazing. They made our trip so much fun!!! The show Elements was very impressive. The acrobatics, musical and dancing skills were so great!! Our rooms were well taken care of. This was all around a great trip!!

Jessica, Miguel, sandy, Jose from the entertainment team are great.
