"If you want to have a quiet relaxing time, you will find it in this hotel. Good food. Beach has a lot of seaweed, we were not able to go in the beach. "

"Very clean hotel."

"Nice stay but the food was 7/10. Only stayed here to enjoy Xcaret Park but I’ve had better experiences in other resorts"

"Secrets Maroma Beach Resort truly exceeded all my expectations and provided an absolutely perfect vacation experience! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and exceptional service. The entire staff, including housekeeping, restaurant personnel, and bar tenders, were incredibly friendly, helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. One standout member of the staff was my personal concierge, Angel Lopez, who consistently went above and beyond. He was super quick to respond to any requests, always incredibly helpful, attentive to our needs, and remarkably accommodating, making our stay even more seamless and memorable. Beyond the outstanding service, the food at the resort was simply the best I've ever had at any resort, with diverse and delicious options to suit every palate. I wholeheartedly recommend Secrets Maroma Beach Resort and am already looking forward to my return visit!"

"We stayed at this property about six years ago and it was lovely. It has declined since that time. The service at the buffet is extremely poor. Good luck getting a refill on some water or coffee. The buffet food is average. While the hotel advertises that it has four restaurants, during our stay, only two were open each night. One of them was terrible and the others were average. The service in the restaurant is better than the service in the buffet. The bartenders at the pole bar in the quiet pool were excellent and did a great job and the drinks were delicious. The overall maintenance of the property is very poor. There are many broken loungers at the pool, and they do not clean the chairs and tables each night after the pool closes. Further, there are several areas where there should be reflecting pools, but they are empty, so instead of beautiful surroundings, it looks terrible with plumbing exposed. Also when we were visiting (early May) the beach is unusable due to seaweed in both the water and the beach, which also results in a terrible smell. "

"Food was not good. Asian restaurant was the best but other food was barely edible or had flavor."

"We had the best experience. Definitely coming back again!"

"We love vacationing on the Yucatan Peninsula over the last 15 years. We have stayed at several different resorts, condos, and even an ocean-front villa, but the Princess resort is by far our favorite. We've stayed at the Princess once or twice a year over the last 5 years, and brought family members to enjoy to resort with us. The resort has been doing some needed renovations over the last year and the updated rooms are beautiful. Our only disappointment with the new rooms is they removed the Jacuzzi tubs, which was one of our favorite perks, and replaced them with a nice looking but small bathtub. They also remodeled the restaurants and improved the dining options and experiences. They have several chefs available to cook to order food at the evening buffet. And the staff is always very helpful. We want to thank Francisco, Roberto, Lorenzo, Beatriz, and Angel for making all of our meals a wonderful experience, and also our favorite tram driver Bernie for his excellent service. The only other thing that could have made our vacation better was the beach conditions. The sargassum was really bad, and was piled up in big stinky mounds, so we didn't spend anytime at the beach. I don't know if it's possible for the resort to do something to improve that, but we spent our time enjoying the pools instead. We really enjoyed our stay and we will be back to the Princess!"

"Third floor pool was the only swim up bar. It had a film in the back right corner that we had to constantly stay away from or move to the filter. There was a dead lizard at the bottom of the pool at one point. Not sure how often they clean it. Bali beds are an up charge even afternoon when they haven’t been used and it’s with items (lobster dinner and tequila) that we wouldn’t have wanted. No info given regarding restaurants days open, times or that majority needed reservations at check in. AC broke in room 2x after being moved. Food was delicious. Don’t get a room by the pool- if you want to nap or go to bed early, The stairs hinder housekeeping and in the AM you hear them pulling or pushing carts up or down stairs in the hall. It wasn’t the most relaxing, but we enjoyed it and maneuvered around issues that didn’t work for us to make the best. Overall it was close to 5th Ave- something we’d never done and it was a new experience! Some staff weren’t the friendliest or helpful. Daily entertainment lacked but again gor the mo ey it was a good resort. "
