Cancun’s Hotel Zone got a serious upgrade this fall: Secrets Mirabel Cancun has officially opened in November 2025. And trust us — this isn’t just a “new resort.” It’s the rebirth of a classic property into one of the most exciting luxury launches Cancun has seen in years.
We’ve been tracking this one since it was announced. Our team has spoken directly with resort leadership, dug into the floorplans, and even flown our drones over the site (check out our September drone video below). And because we’re always here to give you the real scoop, we’ll also share our insider tips — like the fact that the Secrets Spa just opened at the end of March 2026.

From NOW Emerald to Secrets Mirabel Cancun
If Secrets Mirabel looks familiar, that’s because this site has been a resort for over 40 years. Most recently, it was NOW Emerald Cancun, which closed in late 2023 for a total transformation.
Let’s be clear: this is not just a renovation. It’s essentially a reconstruction. The historic main building was preserved, but everything inside — colors, décor, furniture, layouts — has been completely rebuilt to Secrets standards. On top of that, a brand-new Preferred Club tower has been added right up front with prime oceanfront views.
✨ Major changes you’ll notice:
117 new Preferred Club suites in their own building, with tubs in the bathrooms and oversized balconies.
A rooftop Sky Bar on the 7th floor of the Preferred Club tower, complete with lagoon-view infinity pool (open 9 a.m.–11 p.m.).
One of the largest Preferred Club Lounges in Cancun, overlooking the ocean, serving premium drinks and gourmet snacks daily.
Sleeker modern exterior, reimagined pools, and completely updated interiors.

Leadership That Knows Luxury
Secrets Mirabel isn’t just shiny — it’s stacked with talent from some of the world’s top hotels:
Federico Echaiz (GM) – 20+ years as GM at Belmond Maroma, plus luxury pedigree from Park Hyatt Argentina.
Rodrigo Centeno (Assoc. Director of Sales) – comes from Impression Isla Mujeres, Hyatt’s ultra-luxury boutique brand.
Georgina Godoy (Director of Sales) – formerly at Secrets Los Cabos and Nobu.
This isn’t by accident. Hyatt recruited a dream team from Mexico’s most exclusive resorts. That’s why service here will feel more boutique luxury than “big all-inclusive.”
I had the chance to sit down with Georgina Godoy in September 2025 to talk all about Secrets Mirabel and learn all the ins/outs of this new allinclusive resort!
