Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres

Every room at Secrets Playa Blanca is a suite. The entry Junior Suites are 54 m² with a tropical, garden or ocean view and a king bed or two doubles. Swim Out Junior Suites are 64 m² and open onto a pool. Preferred Club suites add a club lounge and butlers, and run up to ocean-front swim-outs, Master Suites of 114 to 177 m² and Presidential Suites of up to 268 m².

February is the priciest month. In our price checks for three nights for two, all-inclusive, a Junior Suite Tropical View cost $2,486 in mid-January 2027, $2,775 in late February, $2,277 in mid-March and $2,259 in mid-June, with taxes included. In early December 2026 it was $2,179 plus $317 in taxes paid at the hotel. In mid-February the cheapest suite available was an Ocean View at $2,884. Every all-inclusive rate we found was refundable, so there was no cheaper non-refundable option.

A swim-out costs about $300 to $450 more. The Swim Out Junior Suite cost $2,772 in January, $3,199 in late February, $2,624 in March and $2,605 in June. Preferred Club Junior Suites started at $2,671 in June and reached $3,256 in mid-February.

Read the resort-credit terms. One guest found at check-out that the credit that came with her booking could only partly be used for spa treatments, and nobody had told her at check-in. Another found the sauna and cold plunge were not open to Preferred Club guests.

Across 535 reviews, Secrets Playa Blanca holds a 9.2 out of 10. The 120 most recent reviews, from January to early November 2026, also average 9.2, with 81 perfect 10s. Most guests are couples, and one described the crowd as older and quieter, roughly 35 to 65.

The grounds and suites win guests over. Guests compare the gardens to a village in Bali, praise the choice of pools (a social one with activities, quieter ones, and a jungle pool built like a cenote) and say the suites are bigger than they look in photos. The beach gets praise for being raked clean, and guests in August and October saw little seaweed. Butlers and concierges in the Preferred Club come up by name again and again.

The food is a strength, with some misses. Many guests call the food the best part, Bordeaux in particular, and like that room service is included. Others found the grill restaurant, the red meat or room service weak, and a few felt the dishes did not match the cuisines they were named after.

The complaints repeat. Four guests describe pushy sales pitches for a Hyatt membership; one was kept for about three hours. Dining is the other sore point: waits of 40 minutes to an hour at the Japanese and Italian restaurants, queues at breakfast, and trouble getting a table at a decent hour. Men need long trousers at dinner, which three guests disliked in the heat. Two guests were kept awake by machinery moving sand at night or early in the morning, and in June one couple could only swim in the sea on one day because of seaweed. Some guests also found staff unsmiling, pool service thin and the layout hard to navigate.

Secrets Playa Blanca is on the road to Punta Sam and Isla Blanca in Costa Mujeres, north of the Playa Mujeres resorts and well away from downtown Cancún and the Hotel Zone. Guests mention the distance from the airport and from shopping, so plan on staying put and arrange a transfer in advance; our Cancún airport transfer guide compares the options.

The beach faces the calm waters toward Isla Mujeres, but it still gets seaweed in some months, as guests found in April and June. Our Cancún sargassum season guide explains when it is worst, and our guide to the best things to do in Cancún covers day trips if you do want to leave the resort.
