Secrets Marina Riviera Maya opens in 2027, and Hyatt hasn’t announced the month yet, but you know I’ll be one of the first to know and share it! It’s a brand-new, adults-only Secrets in Puerto Morelos, between Cancún and Playa del Carmen and about 25 minutes from Cancún airport. You get 450 suites, a rooftop bar and pool, a spa designed around floating treatment cabins over a lagoon, and the Unlimited-Luxury all-inclusive with every dinner à la carte. Everything here is based on what Hyatt has released as of November 2026.
Three things decide whether this is your resort: every oceanfront suite is Preferred Club, swim-outs come at both levels, and the beach here is generally not the draw. The reef 10 minutes away is. With a convention center, it’s built for wedding groups as much as couples.
Rooms aren’t bookable yet, and I’m watching for the day they are. Join my waitlist with your dates and the suite you want, and I’ll reach out to book you the moment rooms go live.

Pre-Opening Status: What We Know So Far
Secrets Marina Riviera Maya isn’t bookable yet, and there’s no opening date beyond 2027: Hyatt hasn’t named a month, and no rooms are loaded for any date. Join the waitlist with your dates, and I’ll book you the moment inventory goes live.
Caballeros Vacations Pro Tip
Put a first-choice suite and a backup in your waitlist trip details. The day rooms load, I grab the scarce categories first: oceanfront, swim-outs and the two-bed suites. With a backup picked, a sold-out first choice doesn't cost you a day.
Should you aim for the opening weeks? I would. Somebody gets to be first on those mattresses, first into the swim-outs and first at the rooftop bar for sunset.
Early guests get a quiet property, staff with real time for them, and opening rates that are sometimes absolutely amazing. Through my close partnership with Hyatt, I’ll have exclusive rates here too. New resorts work out details in their first weeks, so you’re trading a few rough edges for pricing and attention that are hard to come by later.
This one has been a long time coming. It was first announced back in 2022, and it’s a ground-up build with no older hotel underneath it. Weighing Punta Cana too? Read up on Secrets Macao Beach, another new Secrets opening in 2027.

Who Will Actually Like Staying at Secrets Marina Riviera Maya
This is a big, brand-new adults-only resort with a convention center and a modest beach, and that decides who it fits.
Book it if you are:
- A couple who wants a brand-new Secrets close to the airport. Cancún airport is about 25 minutes away.
- A Preferred Club person who wants oceanfront. All 61 oceanfront suites are Preferred Club, so the club and the view come as a pair.
- A swim-out fan. There are 72 swim-out suites at both levels, so you don’t need the club to step off your terrace into the pool.
- Planning a wedding or an incentive trip. The convention center, the rooftop and wedding packages from elopements to 79 guests make this an easy group pick.
- A foodie who wants à la carte every night. All six dinner restaurants are à la carte, and only Himitsu’s teppanyaki tables need a reservation.
- A snorkeler or diver. The Puerto Morelos National Reef Park is 10 minutes away.
- Someone who likes a real town nearby. Puerto Morelos’s town square, with local restaurants, cafés and the leaning lighthouse, is 5 minutes away.
- Traveling with a small dog. Dogs under 22 lb stay in specific suites for $75 a night, and I’ll book the right one.
Skip it if you are:
- Dreaming of a wide, swimmable postcard beach. This stretch of Puerto Morelos shore is generally narrow and rocky in spots, with seagrass close to shore. If the beach is the whole point, look at a different stretch of coast.
- Traveling with kids. Secrets is adults-only, 18 and older.
- Hoping to fit four in one suite. No suite sleeps more than three, and only 67 of the 450 take a third person.
- After a quiet boutique. With 450 suites and a convention center for 834, expect a big resort with groups and weddings in the mix.
Getting There
Cancún International Airport (CUN) is about 25 minutes from Secrets Marina Riviera Maya, and private roundtrip airport transfers are included when you book through me. The resort sits in Puerto Morelos, between Cancún and Playa del Carmen.
I’ve been to Dreams Jade, Dreams Riviera Cancún, Dreams Sapphire and the Secrets and Breathless Riviera Cancún pair, the five closest, so I know this corner of the coast. The nearest sister resorts, by drive time:
- Dreams Jade: 3 minutes
- Dreams Riviera Cancún and Dreams Sapphire: 10 minutes
- Secrets Riviera Cancún and Breathless Riviera Cancún: 15 minutes
- Secrets Maroma Beach: 25 minutes
- Secrets Mirabel Cancún: 33 minutes
- Secrets Moxché Playa del Carmen: 35 minutes
- Secrets Playa Mujeres: 47 minutes
- Secrets Akumal: 64 minutes
- Secrets Playa Blanca: 79 minutes
If Secrets Mirabel Cancún is on your shortlist, my full Secrets Mirabel Cancún guide covers it in detail. Once you’re booked, read up on what to do before you fly to Cancún and the Riviera Maya.
The Setting: Puerto Morelos, Between Cancún and Playa del Carmen
Puerto Morelos is five minutes from the resort, and it’s a real town. The square has local restaurants, cafés and artisan shops, and the famous leaning lighthouse stands by the water. Pescadores, a craft brewery, is worth a stop when you want a night off the property. The town even has its own Tren Maya station.
The bigger draws sit just outside town:
- Puerto Morelos National Reef Park: 10 minutes away, part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the world’s second-largest coral reef system
- Ruta de los Cenotes: 15 minutes away, a jungle road to cenotes for swimming, ziplining and kayaking, including Cenote Zapote (whose Hell’s Bells formations suit divers) and Boca del Puma
- Sport fishing: seasonal, for sailfish, mahi-mahi, tuna and marlin
Secrets Marina Riviera Maya sits marina-side, with access to a full-service marina, 1,300 feet of beachfront and four recreational piers. Hyatt describes a contemporary design with nautical details and guest-room balconies that curve to echo the marina. Many signature spaces face the ocean, including the rooftop, the restaurants, the Preferred Club areas and the spa.
Hyatt hasn’t released photos of the resort yet, so the photos here show Puerto Morelos and the beach at Dreams Jade next door.
- Best for: couples who want a real town, a reef and cenotes within 15 minutes
- Not for: anyone who wants shops right outside the gate; town is a five-minute drive

Rooms and Suites at Secrets Marina Riviera Maya
Secrets Marina Riviera Maya has 450 suites. That’s 423 Junior Suites from 468 to 552 square feet, 25 Master Suites, one Governador Suite and a single Presidential Suite Swim Out at 1,708 square feet. Every suite has a furnished balcony or terrace, a 65-inch TV, a Nespresso machine, a rain shower and a minibar refreshed daily with soft drinks, water and beer.
The suite math:
- Swim-outs: 72, and 37 of them are regular suites, so you don’t need the club to get one (the club’s 35 include 5 Master Suites and the Presidential)
- Oceanfront: 61, all Preferred Club; outside the club, the best view is ocean view (140 suites)
- Balcony soaking tub for two: 138 suites, all Preferred Club
- Two beds: only 67 suites, with two doubles for up to three; every king suite sleeps two

| Preferred Club Presidential Suite Swim Out | Swim-out | 1,708 sq ft | 1 king | 2 | 1 |
Junior Suites, 468 to 552 sq ft
Regular Junior Suites come three ways. Pool View suites (468 sq ft) look over the pools in warm wood and soft neutral tones. Ocean View suites are the same size and face the Caribbean, and at 140 suites they’re the biggest category in the resort. Swim Out suites (552 sq ft) have a terrace that opens straight into the pool. The two-bed versions have two double beds rather than queens.
Caballeros Vacations Pro Tip
Traveling as three, or sharing with a friend? Only 67 suites have two beds, just 15 of them swim-outs, and none sleeps four. Tell me now and those are the first suites I'll book the day rooms load.
Preferred Club Junior Suites, 531 to 552 sq ft
Preferred Club Junior Suites run 531 square feet, 63 more than a regular Junior Suite. The Pool View, Ocean View and Ocean Front versions add an outdoor soaking tub for two on the balcony or terrace. Oceanfront Junior Suites exist only here: 30 Ocean Front plus 5 Swim Out Ocean Front. Swim Outs are 552 square feet at both levels, so the club’s 24 Junior Suite Swim Outs add perks rather than space.
Caballeros Vacations Pro Tip
Want oceanfront AND a swim-out? Only 10 suites give you both: the 5 Junior Suites Swim Out Ocean Front and the 5 Master Suites Swim Out. Tell me now and they top my list the day rooms load.
Master, Governador and Presidential Suites
All 25 Master Suites are Preferred Club and oceanfront. The 20 Master Suites Ocean Front come in at 1,055 sq ft, more than double a regular Junior Suite. You get a king bedroom, a living space, a bathroom with a double vanity, freestanding soaking tub and separate shower, plus a soaking tub for two outside. The 5 Master Suites Swim Out run 1,128 sq ft with the same kind of bedroom and bathroom and a terrace that opens into the pool.
The single Governador Suite is oceanfront at 1,619 square feet. The single Presidential Suite Swim Out adds a separate king bedroom, living and dining areas in stone and warm wood, a bar area and direct swim-out access.
Eighteen suites connect and four are accessible. Four of you? Book two, ideally a connecting pair, and I’ll confirm the right ones for your dates.
Is Preferred Club Worth It at Secrets Marina Riviera Maya?
Preferred Club covers 174 of the 450 suites at Secrets Marina Riviera Maya, and here it decides your view as much as your perks. Set aside the generic extras for a second (personalized check-in and checkout, an upgraded minibar and bath amenities, a pillow aromatherapy menu, a club concierge from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). What you’re paying for:
- Oceanfront: all 61 oceanfront suites in the resort are Preferred Club
- The tub: an outdoor soaking tub for two on the balcony or terrace, in 138 club suites and nowhere else
- The space: club Junior Suites are 63 sq ft bigger than regular ones
- The infinity pool: club guests only, with Bali beds and Sugar Reef, a pool bar for about eight (10 a.m. to 11 p.m.)
- The beach: a private club area with personalized Beach Club service and its own bar (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.)
- The lounge: hot and cold hors d’oeuvres in the afternoon, plus desserts and fine liquors
- Breakfast at Seaside Grill: club guests only, 8 to 10 a.m.
So is it worth it? If you want the ocean right outside your door, Preferred Club is the ONLY way to get it, and the decision is made. The same goes if the balcony soaking tub is the picture in your head. And if you’d walk past that infinity pool every afternoon wishing you were in it, book it and don’t look back.
Skip it if a swim-out is your priority. Both levels have them, and 37 of the 72 are regular suites. Skip it too if your days belong to Puerto Morelos, the reef and the cenotes, because the club does its best work while you’re out. Regular suites still get every dinner restaurant, eight of the ten bars, the main pools and the beach.
Rates aren’t loaded yet. When they are, I’ll quote both levels side by side. Still choosing which Secrets to book? See my comparison of Secrets Playa Blanca, Playa Mujeres, Maroma Beach, Akumal and Moxché.

Dining at Secrets Marina Riviera Maya: 9 Places to Eat
Count them this way: seven restaurants plus Barefoot Grill by the pool and the 24-hour Coco Café, for nine places to eat. Every dinner is à la carte (Market Café, the buffet, serves breakfast and lunch only), and nothing needs a reservation except Himitsu’s teppanyaki tables. Gluten-free and vegetarian options are available, and how many restaurants open each night depends on occupancy.
Portofino (Italian)
Classic Italian with an extensive wine selection. Dinner 6 to 11 p.m., casual elegance.
Himitsu (Pan-Asian, Sushi and Teppanyaki)
Pan-Asian cooking and sushi, plus teppanyaki tables. Dinner 6 to 11 p.m., casual elegance.
Caballeros Vacations Pro Tip
Want teppanyaki? Reserve Himitsu's tables early in your stay. They're the only seats in the resort that need a reservation, so don't leave them for your last night.
El Patio (Mexican)
Traditional Mexican with regional flavors. Dinner 6 to 11 p.m., casual elegance.
Oceana (Seafood)
Seafood overlooking the Caribbean. Lunch 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and dinner 6:30 to 11 p.m., both casual, so it’s the easy dinner when you’d rather skip long pants.
Seaside Grill (Steakhouse)
Steakhouse and grill. Lunch noon to 5 p.m. and dinner 6:30 to 11 p.m., casual. Breakfast, 8 to 10 a.m., is Preferred Club only.
The Amazon-Inspired Restaurant (Name Coming)
The sixth dinner restaurant is Amazon-inspired, and Hyatt is still finalizing its name and menu. Dinner 6 to 11 p.m., casual elegance.
Market Café (Buffet)
International buffet with live cooking stations and regional specialties. Breakfast 7 to 11 a.m. and lunch 12:30 to 4 p.m., casual.
Barefoot Grill (Poolside Lunch)
Grilled specialties right in the pool area. Lunch noon to 6 p.m., casual.
Coco Café (24-Hour Coffee Shop)
The Hyatt Inclusive Collection coffee shop: premium coffee, fresh pastries, sandwiches and late-night snacks around the clock, casual.
Dress Codes, Decoded
- Casual: Bermudas (long shorts) or capris, with sneakers or sandals; no sleeveless shirts for men; women need a cover-up over swimwear
- Casual elegance: long pants for men, with a collared or short-sleeve dress shirt; dress shoes, sneakers or dress sandals; no sleeveless shirts or flip-flops
There’s no formal restaurant here, so leave the jacket at home. Oceana and Seaside Grill are the only dinner restaurants where casual dress works.
Wine Dinners, Themed Nights and Sip, Savor & See
Room service runs 24 hours, and themed nights by the pool bring live entertainment and carving stations. Wine tastings in the cellar and wine-pairing dinners for 2 to 10 cost extra. So does a private romantic dinner the concierge sets up at an appointed spot (price varies by location, and blackout dates may apply).
Sip, Savor & See gets you dinner, cocktails and that evening’s entertainment at participating sister resorts in the region, plus their bars and theater from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. It doesn’t include a day pass. Book with the concierge by 3 p.m., up to four per seating, and cover your own ride.
- Best for: couples who want a sit-down dinner every night without booking ahead
- Not for: buffet-dinner fans or anyone after a formal night; Market Café closes after lunch
Bars at Secrets Marina Riviera Maya: 10 Including the Rooftop
Secrets Marina Riviera Maya has 10 bars, with unlimited top-shelf spirits included in Unlimited-Luxury.
- Rooftop Bar: The signature sunset spot, with panoramic Caribbean views and room for only about 56, so head up early.
- Rendezvous: The lobby bar, 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.
- Pool Bar: At the central pool, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- Manatee: The swim-up bar at the main pool, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- Barracuda: The beach bar for everyone, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- Sugar Reef: The Preferred Club pool bar, 10 a.m. to 11 p.m., seating only about eight.
- Preferred Beach Club: The club’s own beach bar, with personalized service from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- Revive: The juice bar, for when fresh juice beats a cocktail.
- Show Time: The theater bar, 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.
- Desires: The sports bar and nightclub, 10 p.m. to 1 a.m., and the biggest bar here.
After 6 p.m. the main pool and beach bars close. Evenings move to Rendezvous (and Sugar Reef, until 11, for club guests), then Desires and Show Time.
- Best for: couples who like a sunset drink up high and a night out that wraps by 1 a.m.
- Not for: serious night owls
Pools at Secrets Marina Riviera Maya
Secrets Marina Riviera Maya has three resort pools plus a rooftop pool:
- Central pool: home of the Pool Bar
- Main pool: with Manatee, the swim-up bar
- Preferred Club infinity pool: club guests only, with Bali beds and the Sugar Reef bar
- Rooftop pool: in the rooftop event area, with the Rooftop Bar and Caribbean views
Outdoor jacuzzis round out the water, and wait service covers the pools and beach. The Pool Bar and Manatee run 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sugar Reef stays open until 11 p.m. The 72 swim-out suites (37 regular, 35 Preferred Club) open straight onto pool water.
- Best for: pool-day people and anyone booking a swim-out
The Beach at Secrets Marina Riviera Maya
Secrets Marina Riviera Maya has 1,300 feet of beachfront with four recreational piers. Barracuda, the beach bar, is open to everyone from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Preferred Club guests get a private beach area with its own bar.
The resort isn’t open yet, so read this as an expectation. I’ve been to Dreams Jade next door, and this stretch of Puerto Morelos shore is generally not great. The beach is narrow and rocky in spots, and seagrass close to shore can cloud the water, though some days it’s clear and turquoise.
The upside is sargassum. In the 2026 season, Puerto Morelos’s sargassum barrier worked remarkably well, and the town had some truly beautiful beach days while much of the Riviera Maya struggled. If seaweed worries you, see which Riviera Maya all-inclusive resorts have sargassum barriers before you pick.
The real water draw is the Puerto Morelos National Reef Park, 10 minutes away. It’s part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the world’s second-largest coral reef system, with snorkeling and diving in protected water.
Caballeros Vacations Pro Tip
Pack water shoes. Some entrances to the ocean along this shore are rocky, and a pair makes getting in and out easy on your feet.
- Best for: snorkelers and divers, pool people, and anyone who treats the beach as a bonus
- Not for: anyone whose trip hinges on a wide, swimmable postcard beach; book a different stretch of coast
Secrets Spa and the Fitness Center
Secrets Spa runs 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. (seasonal hours may vary) across about 15,500 square feet, indoors and out. There are 12 treatment cabins, including 3 doubles for couples and a party suite, and Hyatt’s design plan suspends floating treatment cabins over a tranquil lagoon. The treatment menu is still being finalized, and treatments cost extra. With 12 cabins serving 450 suites, I’d book your treatments early in your stay.
If you’re celebrating, the romance packages add spa perks. Honeymoon Bliss includes a 25-minute couples massage plus a couples spa treatment, and Wedding in Paradise and Gift of Love take 15% off treatments.
The oceanfront fitness center has sea views and cardio and strength training equipment, and it’s open 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Activities, Entertainment and the Reef
Most of the daytime program is included.
- On land: beach volleyball, pickleball, ping-pong, dance, art and Spanish classes, cocktail and mixology classes, tequila tastings and Texas Hold’em poker
- In the water: kayaks, paddleboards, pool volleyball, pool cycling, water aerobics, water polo, water blackjack and water basketball
- Extra cost: catamaran trips, deep-sea and sport fishing, jet skis and wave runners, scuba diving, water skiing and golf at nearby courses
- Evenings: the theater and its Show Time bar, Desires nightclub until 1 a.m., themed nights and live nightly entertainment
Beyond the Resort: Puerto Morelos Reef, Cenotes and Sport Fishing
The Puerto Morelos National Reef Park, 10 minutes away, is the first outing to plan. You get snorkeling and diving in protected water on the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. The Ruta de los Cenotes starts 15 minutes away, with jungle cenotes for swimming, ziplining and kayaking. Divers head for Hell’s Bells, the underwater formations at Cenote Zapote.
Sport fishing runs in season for sailfish, mahi-mahi, tuna and marlin, and Crococun Eco Park runs guided wildlife tours. Playa del Carmen, Xcaret, Xel-Há, the Tulum ruins and Chichén Itzá make the bigger day trips. The concierge arranges excursions and transportation, or I can set them up before you go.
- Best for: active couples who want classes by day and a reef close by
Pet Policy: Small Dogs Welcome
Adults-only resorts rarely take dogs, but Secrets Marina Riviera Maya does. Small dogs under 22 lb (10 kg) stay for $75 per night, one dog per suite, in specific suite categories only. Book through me and I’ll put you in the right one.
Your dog gets a kit: a bed, food and water bowls with a mat, a rope toy, a bone, waste bags and a door hanger.
What to bring to check-in:
- Your dog’s details: name, weight, age, color and breed
- Vaccinations: a vet certificate for Bordetella and rabies from the last 12 months
- Flea and tick: proof of current treatment
The house rules:
- Off-limits: the pools, spa, fitness center, shops and golf facilities
- The beach: never, under local regulations
- Outside your suite: on a leash or carried
- Alone in the suite: never over two hours and never overnight; tell the front desk, hang the door hanger and keep your phone on
- Housekeeping: only with you there
It suits small-dog owners who’d rather bring the dog than board it, not anyone picturing beach days together.
Weddings at Secrets Marina Riviera Maya
Every wedding date from opening day through December 20, 2027 is priced from one Hyatt price list, with taxes and gratuities included in every package. Your date sets the price: August to October costs less than November to July, and Monday to Wednesday less than Thursday to Sunday. Each pair below shows Monday to Wednesday first.
Wedding in Paradise (up to 10 guests)
$1,799 or $1,949 for November to July; $1,599 or $1,749 for August to October. It works for vow renewals too. You get a symbolic ceremony (a judge or minister costs extra), an on-site coordinator, a bouquet and boutonniere, cake and a sparkling-wine toast for up to 10, 15% off spa treatments and breakfast in bed with mimosas.
Wedding in Paradise is complimentary when five rooms, in any category, book at least three nights, or with a seven-night stay in a qualifying Preferred Club suite.
Eternal Love (up to 20 guests)

Beyond Memorable (up to 79 guests)
$13,949 or $14,699 for November to July; $12,649 or $13,349 for August to October. It’s built for the whole weekend: a welcome cocktail party with a private bar, a two-hour rehearsal dinner, a private ceremony, a three-hour private reception with a buffet and private bar, and a dedicated coordinator. It needs at least 75 paid room nights.
Elope in Luxury (2 people)
$1,999 or $2,099 for November to July; $1,799 or $1,899 for August to October. Just the two of you: a coordinator, two beauty services, a symbolic ceremony, 20 digital photos, cake and a toast, a romantic dinner that night and the hydrotherapy circuit.
Dulha & Dulhan (South Asian weddings, up to 79 guests)
$12,349 or $12,999 for November to July; $11,199 or $11,799 for August to October. A coordinator certified in South Asian weddings, a four-hour sangeet and mehndi, the baraat, a mandap ceremony and a four-hour reception with an Indian-cuisine buffet. It needs 25 rooms for at least three nights.
Honeymoon Bliss (2 people)
From $1,799: sparkling wine, fruit and flowers on arrival, breakfast in bed, a 25-minute couples massage plus a couples spa treatment, a private dinner one evening with a bottle of domestic wine, and petit fours at turndown every night.

$949 or $999 for November to July; $849 or $899 for August to October. A coordinator, the ceremony, a sparkling toast, a certificate, a special dinner and the anniversary package, complimentary with five nights in a qualifying Preferred Club suite.
Gift of Love (complimentary)
A newlywed and anniversary package (sparkling wine, fruit, breakfast in bed and 15% off spa) within three months of the wedding or over your anniversary. Bring your invitation or certificate.
Love at First Site (planning visit)
Engaged couples can visit to plan, then earn a credit by booking within 30 days of getting home: $500 toward wedding extras for 45 or more room nights, $100 toward a seven-night honeymoon, or $200 toward a bachelor or bachelorette trip of nine or more room nights.
Venues and Lead Times
Hyatt hasn’t assigned ceremony and reception venues yet. The named event settings are the rooftop, the beach, the Preferred Club beach, the theater and the ballroom. Book at least 30 days ahead, and a year ahead for Beyond Memorable and Dulha & Dulhan.
Most of these packages add complimentary anniversary nights: five paid nights over your first anniversary earn two, and four earn one. Tell me your date and headcount, and I’ll match you to the right package.
- Best for: groups that can fill five rooms for three nights, and big weddings up to 79
- Not for: a tiny ceremony at a quiet resort; with 450 suites, you’ll share it with plenty of other guests
Groups and Meetings: The Convention Center
Secrets Marina Riviera Maya has a full convention center: about 11,600 sq ft (1,078 sq m) with its own motor-lobby entrance, seating up to 834 theater-style or 770 at round tables. The principal ballroom divides into salons:

Two breakout rooms for 8 each and a boardroom for 12 handle the smaller sessions, and events can also move up to the rooftop or out to the beachfront. Groups of five or more rooms come through me, so send me your dates and headcount and I’ll set up the room block with you.
- Best for: incentive trips, company meetings and big weddings that want a ballroom on site
- Not for: couples who want a resort with no meeting crowd
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Secrets Marina Riviera Maya opening date?
Hyatt says Secrets Marina Riviera Maya opens in 2027 but hasn’t announced the month or day, and no rooms are loaded for any date yet. I’m watching for both, and I’ll update this guide the day the date is set.
Can I book Secrets Marina Riviera Maya now?
Not yet. No inventory is loaded for any date. Join the waitlist on this page with your dates, the suite you want and a backup. I’ll book you the day reservations open, with exclusive rates and private roundtrip airport transfers included.
Where is Secrets Marina Riviera Maya?
In Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo, Mexico, between Cancún and Playa del Carmen, with 1,300 feet of marina-side beachfront. The town square and its leaning lighthouse are 5 minutes away, the Puerto Morelos National Reef Park 10 and the Ruta de los Cenotes 15. Sister resort Dreams Jade is just 3 minutes down the road.
Is Secrets Marina Riviera Maya adults-only?
Yes. Every guest must be 18 or older, and there’s no kids club. Programming runs from mixology classes and tequila tastings to a theater with live entertainment and the Desires nightclub until 1 a.m. Small dogs are welcome too, which is rare for an adults-only resort.
How far is Secrets Marina Riviera Maya from Cancún airport?
About 25 minutes from Cancún International Airport (CUN). Book through me and private roundtrip airport transfers are included. The ride is set before you land, and it’s just your party in the car, straight to the resort.
Is Secrets Marina Riviera Maya a new build or a renovation?
A new build, from the ground up, with no older hotel underneath. The project was first announced in 2022, and every suite, pool, restaurant and the rooftop will be brand-new on opening day. The first guests are the first to sleep in every suite.
How many rooms does Secrets Marina Riviera Maya have?
450, all suites: 423 Junior Suites from 468 to 552 sq ft, 25 Master Suites, one Governador Suite and one Presidential Suite Swim Out at 1,708 sq ft. Of those, 174 are Preferred Club. Every suite has a balcony or terrace, only 67 have two beds, and no suite sleeps more than three.
Does Secrets Marina Riviera Maya have swim-out suites?
Yes, 72, at both levels: 37 regular and 35 Preferred Club, so you don’t need the club to get one. Swim-out Junior Suites are 552 sq ft at either level, 15 of the 72 have two double beds, and 10 are oceanfront (all Preferred Club).
Which suites are oceanfront at Secrets Marina Riviera Maya?
All 61 oceanfront suites are Preferred Club: 30 Junior Suite Ocean Fronts, 5 Junior Suite Swim Out Ocean Fronts, 20 Master Suite Ocean Fronts, 5 Master Suite Swim Outs and the Governador Suite. Outside the club, the best view is ocean view, in 140 regular Junior Suites.
Is Preferred Club worth it at Secrets Marina Riviera Maya?
Yes, if you want oceanfront or a soaking tub for two on your balcony, since only Preferred Club has them. The club adds its own infinity pool, a private beach area with a bar, a lounge and breakfast at Seaside Grill. Skip it if a swim-out is the priority: 37 of the 72 are regular suites.
How many restaurants does Secrets Marina Riviera Maya have?
Nine places to eat: seven restaurants plus Barefoot Grill and the 24-hour Coco Café. Portofino, Himitsu, El Patio, Oceana, Seaside Grill and an Amazon-inspired restaurant serve dinner à la carte, and Market Café is the breakfast and lunch buffet. Only Himitsu’s teppanyaki tables need a reservation.
Is the beach good at Secrets Marina Riviera Maya?
Not really. I’ve been to Dreams Jade next door, and this stretch of Puerto Morelos shore is narrow, rocky in spots and prone to seagrass that can cloud the water. The town’s sargassum barrier worked remarkably well in the 2026 season, and the reef park 10 minutes away is the real water draw.
Are dogs allowed at Secrets Marina Riviera Maya?
Yes, small dogs under 22 lb, one per suite, for $75 a night in specific suite categories, and I’ll book the right one. Bring Bordetella and rabies records from the last 12 months and proof of flea and tick treatment. Dogs stay out of the pools, spa, gym, shops and beach.
Can you get married at Secrets Marina Riviera Maya?
Yes. For August to October dates, Monday to Wednesday, Wedding in Paradise starts at $1,599, Elope in Luxury at $1,799, Eternal Love (up to 20 guests) at $5,349 and Beyond Memorable (up to 79) at $12,649. November to July costs more. Wedding in Paradise is complimentary when five rooms book at least three nights, or with seven nights in a qualifying Preferred Club suite.
What other new Secrets resorts open in 2027?
Secrets Macao Beach in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, also opens in 2027, on March 1. Secrets Marina Riviera Maya is the Mexican Caribbean option, month still to come. Torn between the two? I’m happy to help you weigh them.
Final Thoughts on Secrets Marina Riviera Maya
Secrets Marina Riviera Maya is a big, brand-new, adults-only Secrets about 25 minutes from Cancún airport. It suits couples and wedding groups who want new suites, à la carte dinners every night and a rooftop bar at sunset. If that’s you, grab the opening window: a quiet property, staff with time for you, and opening rates.
Pick your suite first. All 61 oceanfront suites are Preferred Club, the 72 swim-outs come at both levels, and both will go fast. Then go in with honest beach expectations. This stretch of shore is generally not the draw, so pack water shoes and give your best ocean day to the reef park 10 minutes away.
