Jan 31, 20265 stars - good food, awesome staff
We went to secrets for a week for my birthday. This resort was EVERYTHING we wanted in a trip. I got nervous reading some reviews as there are always „those” reviews. We really enjoyed the food.The breakfast buffet had everything you could ask for. Steaks at castaways are bigger and better than a lot of steaks I’ve had back home. Hector at the Habachi table was such a joy! Recommend booking that atleast once. You won’t go hungry , there is always food available . Room service was great too - not a bad selection! Rooms were clean, service in the rooms was everything we needed . Our room was always cleaned perfectly Entertainment staff are awesome! This resort is definitely not party like cancun , but the staff really did a good job for the activities we had! The poolside volleyball was a daily thing for us , the cooking classes were so fun! The beach was beautiful - and loved that it was for our resort only. Staff at the entire resort were always smiling and always happy to help with anything. We look forward to coming back- it really was an escape .

Jan 30, 2026Not What We Expect From Secrets
To understand our point of view in a review of Secrets I need to say that the experience of blaring music all day and often into the night in all the pool and public areas is just not our thing. This is going to be a fine experience for many people, just not us. We expected a bit more polish to everything from the condition of the hotel to the food offerings to the delivery of requests. The staff was super attentive and over the course of our ten day stay we were able to zero in on the good food offerings and avoid the more lackluster. Some bright spots were breakfast at Castaways, the buffet for lunch, the Mexican Restaurant Tamarind and the French Restaurant Bordeaux. We enjoyed ourselves well enough but we wouldn't go back for this experience.

Quiet resort with gorgeous views and wonderful staff be
Secrets Huatulco is a great resort for a couples vacation. It is a short ride from the airport and every room has a gorgeous ocean view. We loved our room and balcony view. Our room was cool, comfortable and very clean. The restaurants were good. We especially liked the Bordeaux (French) restaurant and Spice (Asian). We really enjoyed the lunch options at the pool at the Barefoot Grill. A few afternoons featured made to order wood fired pizzas and twice they made a large paella which was fabulous. We had excellent service from our pool waiters. Ronaldo and Julio both were attentive and friendly and polite servers. We enjoyed getting to know them and really appreciated their attentive service. I attended many water yoga classes. Special mention to our instructor Ximena! She lead the classes professionally and was so warm and welcoming to everyone. She is an amazing teacher, patient, fun and helpful and most of all, incredibly positive and made sure everyone was having a good experience. Thank you Ximena! There are a few areas of the resort that are starting to show their age, and some general repair and maintenance would go a long way to making the public areas more attractive. The sports bar was very disappointing - not enough chairs, dingy atmosphere and it smelled bad. The sports bar drinks are served in very stained and scratched plastic drinkware. We would have loved to spend more time there but it was not a comfortable or inviting space. Overall we had a very good time at Secrets due to the great staff, good food and beautiful location.

Great Timing!
I picked a great 2 weeks to leave Chicago for Secrets in Huatulco. Weather is between 86-88 everyday without a cloud in the sky. Hotel service has been great from the moment we arrived and my room is great and kept extremely clean by Doris. We have taken advantage of some of the newer offerings for dining and were pleasantly surprised with the Italian Trattoria Night outside by the pool. From the ambience created by Alan and his staff including Italian music, wine and decorations, to the menu which was outstanding and done to perfection! Nothing better than to enjoy a great meal outside in fantastic comfortable weather when it’s below zero and snowing back home. As always, Nemorio is the best along with Gloria and Chef Angel! My 2 weeks is coming to a close but being here will get me through the rest of the winter! Rich Bruno
