![]() To get to 5th Avenue, the main downtown area in Playa Del Carmen it took about 15 minutes and the cab ride was $18 from the resort and $20 to get back. It took about 35 minutes via shuttle from the airport and you go through two gates with security to get into the resort. They also offered another couple $400 in resort credit- way more than the $150 they offered us! 9. Many of the other couples we met at the resort felt bamboozled into doing the tour and regretted it. We declined as we’ve learned from experience that these meetings are high pressure and last for HOURS. ![]() They try to entice you by giving you vouchers for hotel spa services or activities. Be aware that when you check in they introduce you to someone that will offer to give you a “tour” of the resort and have you sign up for a breakfast with them. Like every resort I’ve been to in Mexico, they will try to sell you a timeshare. If you want privacy I recommend NOT getting the ocean view. Normally I opt for an ocean view but in this case, I’m very happy we didn’t! Every room has its own soaking tub on the patio and the ocean view room patios are visible from the pool area. We booked our trip 1.5 weeks before we went so the only room available was the Junior King Suite- tropical view. It was very easy to use! Seasoul restaurant is so beautiful and right on the beach 8. Room service is also ordered on their in-room tablet. I ended up enjoying the app because you could see the menus before you got to the restaurant. They also have QR codes for menus at restaurants- one day I left my phone in the room and they did have printed menus so that was fine. I’m not the most technical person and I could figure it out but the first day was kind of frustrating. One app is how you get into your room and one app has all of the restaurant times, menus, activities… etc. When you check in you have to download two apps (make sure you have room on your phone before you arrive!). If you are one of those people that don’t like having your phone with you while you’re on vacation then Secrets Moxche may not be the resort for you. ![]() Burgers, nachos, weird salads, fruit plates… no tacos. The pool food was decent but the menu was minimal. All have servers that take your drink and food orders. There are pools with bars and more private pools available. There is also plenty of room to get away from them if you choose. We saw volleyball, basketball, and a football throwing competition throughout our day at that pool. They have pool games at the bottom/ party pool by the beach but they were brief and not obnoxious. They have amazing live music during the day at a few of the pools! Not mariachi music, but acoustic/ relaxing music with hits we all know and love. You have to be very specific if you want premium liquor and some of the servers said it isn’t available. They sneak up on you though… Although Secrets Moxche is all-inclusive and they claim they include premium liquor in your fee, the pool bars are serving the bottom shelf. Also, the espresso martinis are to die for. The Cafe was our savior that day.Īs for drinks- the mango or tamarind margaritas are a MUST. We missed it the first day and couldn’t figure out where to get food because none of the restaurants were open yet. The breakfast buffet restaurant closes at 11 am. All types of milk and milk alternatives too! The cafe also had ice cream, pastries, yogurt, granola, and mini sandwiches. Here they had lattes, frappes, iced drinks, espresso… etc. In my experience, resort staff in Mexico stare at you blankly when you ask for even the most simple iced coffee. One of our favorite parts of the resort was that they had a cafe that was open 24/7. It made some of the more rambunctious folks sober up before coming to dinner in a nice restaurant. This might sound like a downer but it was actually really nice. They have a strict dress code and Steve had to change his outfit our first night there. *Men, make sure to pack pants and shoes other than flip-flops for the restaurants.
