Rave: Secrets Resorts

I booked my honeymoon last night to Secrets Silversands, which looks like an amazing resort with beautiful pools, rooms and great service. I didn;t research too much into the resort, as I'd seen how much people like the resorts on here. Seeing as how it was the best value, I jumped on it.

After booking, I started reading about how horrible the beach is there. It's set on a coral reef, making it naturally rocky and hard to even wade in. Every single review about the beach either recommended not going n or brining water shoes. I tried to convince myself this was ok, but FI and I really are huge beach people. I will swim in the ocean for hours at a time.

I called this morning to change my reservation, and withint 15 minutes I had a room booked at Secrets Capri with a deluxe oceanfront room. Granted I did have to repurchase the travel insurance, but they were so good to work with. What a huge relief.

Lesson: Always read a lot of reviews before booking. And buy travel insurance!

  • I'm glad you switched!!  My bro/SIL went to to Silversands after me raving about our Secrets Maroma HM and they were SUPER disappointed in the beach.  They said it was so rocky that they never even went in.

    We had friends HM at Capri and loved it.  From talking with them and their pics, it seems really similar to Maroma Beach.

    Glad it worked out for you!
  • where is the Capri? Cancun? I have been considering the secrets silversands too. How much was the price difference at Capri?
  • Capri is in Playa Del Carmen; ~40 minutes from Cancun
