Secrets Moxché

Secrets Moxche, located in Playa del Carmen first opened its doors in April 2022 and has fast become one of the most sought-after resorts in Cancun. I felt extremely fortunate to have spent a week there in September on my first every Gold Travel Counsellors Trip.

Located 5 miles north of downtown Playa del Carmen and 30 miles south of Cancun’s International Airport, it will take 40 minutes to reach this stunning resort from airport.

My first impressions were wow, greeted in the usual 5-star Secrets fashion, cold face cloth and crisp glass of bubbles… I was taken from the entrance to the Preferred Club Lounge check in area for a very personal and warm check in.

Secrets Moxche has a total of 485 rooms with a few different categories to choose from. I stayed in a Preferred Club Junior Suite with (in my opinion) the best view of the entire resort - check out my pictures and you can decide. The room was so bright and spacious and the bathroom was just out of this world with every amenity you might require over your stay including sun cream and mosquito spray. The balcony with my amazing view had a large bathtub and corner couch. The room itself had all the top-level amenities you would expect in a 5-star all-inclusive resort including steamer and hair dryer and the mini bar was fully stocked and replenished with soft drinks, wines and beer. Like all Secret properties, Moxché has the interactive tablet beside the bed which allows you check daily activities, make reservations in restaurants and spa, check weather etc … extremely useful.

Secrets Moxché has a total of 10 restaurants, 7 bars and Coco Café, a 24-hour coffee shop. I didn’t get to experience them all, but here’s my thoughts on what I did experience. Market Café served Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner each day. I had breakfast here most mornings and some mornings there was live music including a singer, harpist and another morning a sax player. A wide variety and selection of food, hot and cold and displayed so lovely. Very friendly service.

Bisou was a French Restaurant and I ate here the first night, typical French, small portions but very appealing on the eye.

Barefoot Grill is the perfect name for this Secrets favourite. Serving from 11-6 each day and located right by the pools. Perfect for something quick and easy such as pizza, wings, hotdogs, tacos. etc.

Seasoul, is a Seafood Restaurant open for lunch and dinner each day. The fish tacos are their speciality and I loved the open-air concept of the restaurant and the rope swings at the bar was really cool.

Bamboo, this is an Asian Restaurant, lovely location overlooking the lagoon pool and live music every lunchtime. It’s also open for dinner each evening. The Conservatory, this is the Preferred Club restaurant and breakfast, lunch and dinner here is out of this world.

Allora is an Italian Restaurant. I ate here the last night and it was one of the nicest meals I had. There is indoor and outdoor seating, I sat outside and enjoyed a pesto pasta dish with a lovely glass of Pinot Grigio and watched the evening go by.

The resorts boasts 8 heated pools as well as 3 man-made cenotes pools, unique to this specific resort. The Lagoon pool is large and a quieter pool overall. Great place to spend the late afternoon and you can also listen to music from Bamboo.

Many of the pools have hot tubs, hammocks and sunchairs in the pool itself. The main pool is located next to the beach and this is the largest and busiest pool with a swim up Sugar Reef Bar. The musicians that played here daily were really amazing and there were numerous other acts around the pool, not to mention the pool activities itself … a busy location, but lots of fun. I must mention the Nightclub, The Gypsy Club, a secret spot, hidden behind the Pharmacy shelves, a speakeasy so you must have the daily password! This was a busy spot every evening and the music had us all on the dance floor.

I would also like to highlight how absolutely amazing and immaculate the staff were. They took pride in their roles, the resort and their appearance. The service was very efficient. All in all, I loved this luxurious property. It is a perfect location for honeymoon, anniversary trip, couples escape, girlie getaway or even a group trip. With so many options, this adult only resort has something for everyone. I would strongly recommend Preferred Club here, I believe it’s worth it for the rooftop restaurant, (the conservatory) and infinity pool.

If this stunning 5 Star Adult Only property appeals to you, reach out.
