Secrets Vallarta Bay Puerto Vallarta - All Inclusive - Adults Only

It was paradise, the people were wonderful. I liked the activities they had going on bingo, texas holdem and water arobics

I would definitely go to one of the other Secrets Resort in the future.

my wife and i went to secrets vallarta bay on may 13 - may 18 and we had the best time ... the staff was great and sooo friendly ... the food was perfect and very fancy ... the pools and the beach and the rooms were just beautiful ... we had a junior suite with a ocean view on the 5th floor and the view is amazing ... room service was fast friendly and efficient ... hotel staff was always at the ready to help with anything ... house keeping was so good i wanted to take her home .... room was stocked with beverages and beer etc. never had to ask for anything ... towels ect always on the job ... went to las calettas ... its a private beach where you can snorkel and do other activities for about 5 hours .. boat ride was about 30 minutes but the employees on the boat entertained you the whole time and they were hillarious ... they served drinks and food free of charge ... we did the atv tour where you go into the hills of puerto vallarta on 4 wheelers and at the top you stop for a bit and have a beer or some food etc before returning ... our guides were luis and paco and they were so profesional ... so here is the breakdown of how it is in puerto vallarta for all the skeptics ... the people who live in puerto vallarta were so nice i was surprised i figured they were gonna be like ok here are more gringos in our city and be a little hostile ... not even close these people are awsome and the rest of the world needs to take a lesson from them .... even the many vendors who are selling thigs were very polite and if you are not interested just say no thank you and they leave you alone ... no crime no violence ,,, nothin ... so ok back to secrets hotel ... in my oppinion this is not a place if you are like 21 and wanna party ... my wife and i are 36 and 43 and this was perfect for us ... no loud club but plenty of music and bars and just good relaxing do what you want when you want kinda time ... we went to the vallartas casino which was nice .. but small compared to vegas and it only has machines but the staff were very friendly and helpful in showing us how to use the machines etc ... next to secrets at the bottomg of the driveway are two massage parlors i suggest the second on only because we went 3 times and it was great ... 45 dollars for a couples massage for an hour and not foofoo massage with a hot rock ... i mean a real massage that even your husband will like ... very clean and very quiet and no talking ... graciela in the resorts vallarta adventures set up our trips of snorkeling etc and she did a great job and gave us a lot of recomedations ... i know im jumping all over the place but i just got back last night and my mind is racing with all the stuff we did lol ,.ok so the only some what bad parts ... when you are on the beach at secrets they have people trying to sell you stuff but all you have to say is no thank you and thats that ... they dont come up to you they have to stay away unless you call them over and no one is pan handling either ,,, the pools close really early like 8 pm which kinda sucked but it was not that big of a deal for us ... taxi service was very nice and profesional ... some of them drive pretty fast but they are pros right lol so in the end we had a great time in puerto vallarta and will be going back year after year ... and to me secrets is a place of pure luxery and i would not think of staying anywhere else ...

Everything was just as awesome as in the descriptions we read about. The food was outstanding. We are already looking at going back soon. The only negative I can think of is the WiFi isn't all that great but it worked if we found the sweet spot.

3rd trip to a secrets hotel and we enjoyed our stay as usual. We requested an pref club ocean view and intially ended up on the 4th floor preferred club room. The 4th floor is not really ocean view as there is decorative stone wall across the balcony's that block the view unless you are standing up. all the other floors have the glass railings. No way see over if you are sitting. Requested another room but preferred club was full. They offerred us a room in the regular tower which we declined. Went back the next morning and they did have a master suite available on the 6th floor. We had to pay extra for it but decided to take it. It is a wonderfull suite with a plunge pool. Balcony is huge compared the other master suites on the other floors and this is the only one with a plunge pool. We did spend more time in our room than we had in past trips. Ordered room service a few times for breakfast. We had the best view from our deck. The hotel is close to the downtown and we were able to walk most places. Restaurants were good and similiar to the other secrets resorts we've been to. Drinks were good and they do serve premium alcohol ...just ask for it. Grey Goose Martini's were wonderful. Service was great except for one experience at the Mediteranean restaurant where we waited for over an hour and still no appetizer. When we asked they brough us a main course we never ordered....we asked for our appetizer...again not what we ordered. Frustrated...we got up and left and decided to try the Japanese restaurant. This worked out a lot better. This was only our second night so we were a little concerned. Never had another issue during our stay so must have been an off night. Loved the Sea Bass at the French restaurant and the red snapper at the Mexican restaurant. Great Fish Tacos for lunch at the Oceana. Didn't really like the combination of adults only with Now family resort. Restaurants and amenities are split between the 2 hotels. Found the resort very crowded and noisy compared to the Mayan hotels but expected this as we have been to Puerto vallarta many times. We would upgrade to the preferred club again if we go back to secrets PV. The setup is different than other secrets we have been to and we used the club a lot.

Food wasn't high quality except for the French food. Service was ok, except for them leaving our room service in our "secret box" for days. The beach was the most disappointing...the south side is much prettier.

I went to Secrets the last week of October and had a fantastic experience. Not only was the hotel beautiful, but the staff was across the board fantastic. Extremely friendly and helpful. Were there occasional service issues? Sure. But really, the entire staff seemed committed to making sure their guests had a good time. The only downside to staying on the Secrets side of the resort was the vantage/view situation. I stayed in the preferred tower, which was nice, but the terraces face North (I believe) and never are in the sun. You also can't see the sunset from the terraces in that tower. Not a huge deal -- there are great views from the lobby bar and you still have great ocean views from the Secrets tower -- but next time I might consider staying in the Now preferred tower instead. Overall a great trip.

Stay away from their sales pitch session! They tell you it's an hour and a half, but it ends up being four hours! Not to mention, they will not let you leave the sales meeting and will continue to make "offers" to try and wear you down. When we had enough & told them we were not purchasing a vacation package, the sales rep told us "maybe you are not our type of clientel since you can't affford this." We were highly offended since we had just spent several thousands of dollars to travel to their hotel. Never again!!

luxurious and yet good value as everything is included. The only surprise is the photography session. It was advertised as FREE. It turns out the 20-minute session is free but you have to pay to get the pictures. In my case they wanted 299 and that's US dollars, not peso. I felt it was misleading and wish it was clearer.

It's a great location and a great resort. We loved the room, the service, the amenities, pools were cleaned, and food was great, perfect for couples.
