I recently had the chance to explore Secrets Puerto Los Cabos, and I’m thrilled to share my experience with you. Nestled amid breathtaking landscapes, this adults-only resort offers a blend of luxury and serenity that truly captured my midwestern heart.
Before we dive into the reasons why we love Secrets Puerto Los Cabos, let’s first go over the destination, Los Cabos. I want to specifically touch on the differences between Los Cabos and Riviera May/Cancun All Inclusive Resort areas.
Location and Geography
Los Cabos, located at the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula, is famed for its dramatic desert landscape merged with stunning ocean views. It offers a blend of urban life in Cabo San Lucas with the traditional charm of San Jose del Cabo.
Riviera Maya is part of the Yucatán Peninsula’s Caribbean coast, stretching from Playa del Carmen to Tulum. It’s lush with jungles and cenotes, making it a haven for eco-tourism, paired with beautiful beaches.
Cancun lies on the northeast tip of the Yucatán Peninsula, distinguished by its vibrant nightlife and extensive white sandy beaches, offering a mix of modern resorts and ancient Mayan history nearby.
First Impressions: A Love Affair with the Views
From the moment I arrived, the panoramic vistas over the Sea of Cortez took my breath away. While the resort’s décor felt a little dated, it was impeccably clean, and trust me, the exceptional staff more than make up for any lack of modernity. My evenings were spent delighting in martinis at Rendezvous – a ritual that quickly became my favorite pre-dinner indulgence.
It is important for me to note what is included for everyone. If you want to know more about Secrets Puerto Los Cabos Preferred Club upgrade, please see our FAQ section below.
