Inviting, crystal clear Caribbean waters and powder white sand fringe Playa del Secreto, the most beautiful beach along the Riviera Maya. The beach stretches over a mile along the blue ocean, with only a dozen upscale homes dotted along the water's edge. Wild mangrove and freshwater pools attract beautiful birds, and healthy reef is home to spectacular tropical Caribbean sea life.

The tranquil beach is just 20 minutes from Cancun and 15 minutes from Playa del Carmen, making it the perfect central point for exploring Mexico's attractions - Mayan ruins, world class diving, sports fishing and more. Playa del Secreto means "Secret Beach" in Spanish, and a secret is what this beautiful residential community remains. This is a private community of homeowners, committed to preserving Playa del Secreto as a peaceful, tranquil, private location by controlling growth and development of the beach.

Hacienda del Secreto is the jewel of Playa del Secreto. Memorable, relaxing vacations can be spent in these luxury ocean front homes...

Guest Comments

We wanted to express our appreciation for ensuring that our vacation was delightful, full of fun and excitement. The accommodations (Canteena) was exactly what we needed. Everyone was pleased. As usual the food prepared for us was great. Birthday dinners for three in our party. A youngster, for which the food plan was perfect.

Thanks to all!

We have a large immediate family of 5 children and spouses, and 13 grandchildren (and now one grandson spouse). In July 2010, 22 and sometimes 24 of this immediate family attended a granddaughter's wedding in the Cancun area and spent a great week at the Casa Del Secreto Resort. The resort is on the ocean waterfront with very good security. We were housed in 3 different but adjacent buildings in the complex which offered an excellent combination of privacy and togetherness in the common areas. We had 2 full kitchens, living /dining areas, and 9 bedrooms (2 palacial suites with outstanding ocean views) with private baths as well as access to the common area of the Palapa Jack building. The Resort offered a wide variety of outdoor and indoor activities which provided something of interest to everyone including the teenagers and young adults. We were able to prepare meals if we wished, had excellent maid service and enjoyed 2 exceptionally good dinners in the Palapa Jack facility prepared by the Resort staff for our group. The employees were courteous and friendly and went out of their way to satisfy our wishes and needs. It was a great week for our family!
