Fodor's Expert Review Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancún

Strip away the gourmet restaurants, elegant rooms, and 18 swimming pools, and you're still basking on Mexico’s best beach. Secrets pushes typical all-inclusive boundaries by including, well, pretty much everything: international calls, gratuities, premium drinks, greens fees at the nearby El Mayakoba Golf Course, plus a laundry list of activities like sailing, archery, dance classes, and tennis clinics. Six of the eight restaurants are open 24 hours, and reservations are never required—even at the popular French-inspired Bordeaux (request a cellar table); if you'd rather dine in, room service is unobtrusively delivered through Secrets' signature magic box. Guest rooms ooze luxury with their carved rich woods, canopy-draped poster beds, and private Jacuzzis; Buildings 17 and 27 have unobstructed ocean views, but 85% of the rooms look onto the sea.
