Host was great, cleaning staff was amazing and the location was great. The beach sea moss was the only downside, but I know that’s not within the control of the host. Overall great family vacation for 12 people. Would def come back to the area and rent here again.

The Villa is beautiful, tastefully decorated and set up for groups to gather together or find quiet solo areas.The pool was clean and the maid service excellent. Our family loved the convenience of the pool and the beach being so accessible since it provided flexibility for all family members. The kitchen is well stocked and we loved our delicious "Welcome meal" that was available through our host. You will enjoy the kindness and friendliness of the hosts as they make you feel at home and are excellent at communication. Beach items are well stocked and included toys, paddle board, snorkel masks and kayaks.

Very nice beach. Best bedrooms upstairs. My husband can’t do those steps so we had the small bedroom and bath downstairs. I would have preferred a bigger bedroom. Owners very helpful and receptive to food ideas.

Best vacation

We had such a great time and a lot of it had to do with our stay at the villa. Miguel was extremely nice, helpful and prepared delicious meals. We stayed at the Fish Villa and it was much more beautiful than it was in the photos. I’m hoping I can organize another stay at Playa Del Secreto. 5 stars all around.

Perfect Location!

We had the most wonderful spring break experience at our stay in this lovely home. The location is fabulous...not too far from the airport, grocery store, restaurants, and local attractions but RIGHT on a fabulously secluded beach! Our main goal was to be away from crowded beaches and this villa delivered! It was just perfect for our family of 6.

Wonderful Stay at the Secret Beach Villa

Had a fantastic stay at the Beach Villa. Liza and Miguel were fantastic hosts, very friendly and prompt with communication. They provided everything we needed for our family vacation including crib and pack and play for 2 babies. Miguel even cooked delicious meals for us (the lobster surf and turf was unreal!) and made a cake for a birthday! We already want to go back!

Amazing home!

Miguel and Liza were incredible. We had Miguel’s dinners twice & everything was SO good. We booked the massage, and the airport shuttle transfer. The owners were so helpful with everything & payment at the end was very easy. Any questions were quickly answered. I felt like we were at a hotel! We had 6 people staying, with so much extra space. Close to town, and the airport. Thank you so much! Highly recommend.

Amazing time

Thank you Miguel and team. We had an amazing time and the property was beautiful. Miguel cooked the best food, which was a huge treat. House was awesome, pool and beach remarkable. Waking up with that view each morning was spectacular. Loved the local and quiet atmosphere. We had a really great time - it was fun for all ages. Will definitely come again. We really appreciated the hospitality from Miguel and his staff. Best Mexico vacation….

Serenity

We had a fantastic stay. Miguel & Liza are very good at helping from start to finish; recommendations, feeding us… a lot of food! The villa was stocked upon arrival with all of our groceries. Miguel was available right away if we had a question. He made our catch of the day and then some for one of our dinners. The service staff very friendly and hard working. They really took care of us! We will be back and recommend you find this gem with the ocean with private beach right in your back yard.

Best vacation!!!!

We all loved Liza and Miguel’s place so much! They were excellent hosts- organized and the property was so clean. We had a great section of beach and our kids loved exploring the little tide pools a short walk away. It was so convenient for the kids to run out to the pool or beach whenever they wanted and to quickly get back inside when they needed a break from the sun. Adults loved the food and Miguel’s cooking class was a lot of fun! Would recommend going into Puerto Morelos for a day and also check out some ceynotes. We’d love to come back!

Amazing!

Couldn’t ask for a better location for our vacation. We had our 6 grandkids and between the pool and the beach, they had non stop fun. We had Chef Miguel cook dinner for us every night. The meals were delivered timely, hot and were delicious. Loved how the Villa’s were beautifully decorated with items appropriate to their name. We stayed in the Fish and Boat Villa’s. There was plenty of seating inside and out to spread out. Thank you Liza and Miguel for everything you did to make our vacation memorable.

My family and I stayed in the villas, we had all three, and had a wonderful time. Liza and Miguel have a very well run property. The furnishings, towels, sheets, beach lounges all very nice. We had two meals prepared, very tasty, generous portions something for everyone. The weather was great a little wind but enjoyable. The pickup service was great. All in all Liza and Miguel contributed to a wonderful time had by all. Thanks for my wonder banner the polish queen

We could not have enjoyed our stay more. Liza and Miguel are top notch hosts. From the instructions for pre arrival, booking transportation from the airport, making sure I had a wheelchair at the airport when I arrived (it’s a very long walk) to the check in process, everything went smoothly. They couldn’t do enough for us. Miguel is a top notch chef. The food was so delicious, the staff incredibly friendly and everyone so friendly. Liza and Miguel did so many small kindnesses for us. I can’t stress enough how much we enjoyed our stay. The villa is incredible! Having your own pool, being able to just go into the ocean any time is awesome for prairie dwellers like us. The kids and adults had the time of their lives. There’s so much to do here but if you value privacy you have that too. It’s beautiful, it’s rejuvenating and relaxing. The little decorating touches are really well done and add so much to the atmosphere. I can’t recommend this villa enough.

Absolutely Wonderful!

Secret Beach Villas was simply awesome! The location is easy and convenient to the Cancun Airport and the property is safe and secure, just to get started! The beach is quite literally one of the best in all of Mexico. The sand is pristine, the water clean, and ocean safe to swim and play in. The villa is wonderful and worked very well for our group of seven. Do yourself a favor and use Miguel as your chef! His food is amazing and we looked forward to every meal! I don't know what will be more memorable over time, Miguel's cooking or the superb quality of the beach and ocean! Either way, both were fabulous and the Secret Beach Villas will definitely be at the top of our list for future vacations!

Loved it

I truly love the rustic feel to the home. Everyday we received house cleaning services, and restocked our toilet paper and towels daily; so my family and friends did not have to worry about anything. We arrived and Miguel quickly stocked the bar for us, he even provided a loaner cooler chest for our excursions. Miguel was always visible and available to help us enjoy our stay. We noticed the staff was always working , from cleaning the pools to the property. Everyone was very friendly and made us feel very safe staying there and welcomed. We truly enjoyed our stay and will plan on coming back again ❤️

Incredible Beaches

My family and I absolutely loved this property. We visited Cancun for a wedding. The wedding took place in an expensive resort, but a couple of siblings and I decided to stay at a quieter place without all the noise, I have a two-month-old son and thought it would be better for him. We fell in love with the property and especially the view we had to the sea! The property is beautiful and Liza and Miguel are absolutely incredible hosts. They were attentive to our needs and were more than helpful throughout the entirety of our planning and stay. The sea at the property is absolutely beautiful. We compared this beachfront with the expensive beachfront where the wedding took place and there is no comparison. The beach and the maintenance are truly how the picture shows. I cannot give a higher recommendation and I am looking forward to visiting again.

Paradise

My family stayed in the fish villa for a week. From the beginning of the trip to the end, our experience was amazing! Miguel and Liza were great hosts who were always available if we needed anything. The house was perfect! Nothing feels better than walking right out of a house, past the private pool, and walking straight onto the beach! The location is perfect, 30 minutes from Cancun and 30 minutes from Playa del Carmen. We really liked visiting Puerto Morelos, which was only a 15 minute drive. Honestly, all the beaches in Cancun and Playa del Carmen were packed. We appreciated our quite beach in front of the villa. The service was great. There were housekeepers who cleaned everything up daily. And a person who cleaned the beach and pool area. I highly recommend staying here!!!
