Secrets Playa Blanca | NEW Resort WORTH IT or NOT?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 чер 2024
- This all inclusive resort in Cancun might be the best NEW resort we've been to ever! Secrets Playa Blanca is an amazing adults only all inclusive in Cancun Mexico.
From the moment we saw this luxury resort we knew we needed to give it a try. Secrets Resorts are great and we have had a lot of luck with them. They are truly luxurious and live up to the idea of hidden gems, although they are hiding in plain sight.
Our big question for this trip was to see if going to a new resort was worth it or not. We wanted to see if they had it together or if there were just too many kinks still to work out?
We definitely found that this Cancun all inclusive resort has some things to work on still, but no question the positives outweigh the negatives. We highly recommend giving this resort a try, even if you decide to wait a little while...
In this video we share with you some of our commentary from our trip we took to Secrets Playa Blanca in March 2024 and our thoughts while we were there.

We were at Impressions in Oct and LOVED IT. . We are hoping to cme here in Oct of this year. I have clients there at the end of May and I have cautioned them about the "newness", they are in your room category, so loved to see your video of it, beautiful!
Impressions is great!!! I hope you do get go to playa Blanca in October, you’ll love it. Your client are going to have so much fun. All the best - glad the video could help.
We are going the last week of April, looking forward to it.
Have fun - it's an awesome place! Let me know how it goes
Great video. I really enjoyed it. I was curious about the hospitality room. Was that provided because you are a member?
Thanks! We are actually not members. We had a late flight and didn’t leave the resort until after 3pm, but had to be out of the room before that. So we asked about using a shower and the butler arranged for us to use the room.
Enjoyed this video. The ocean front room with the view looked perfect! We just left Secrets Moxche last week. AMAZING RESORT!!!! we are trying to pick our July trip. Just a little nervous because Moxché really lived up to the hype. Would you suggest going back, trying playa Blanca, or somewhere else? Thank you in advance for the guidance 🧡7️⃣
We did impression moxche and love it also! My wife constantly compared playa Blanca to moxche the whole time we were there. It’s a great one to give a try. Just remember that July in Cancun is very very hot, and they have a lot of open air spaces at playa Blanca.
Moxche was amazing. About to try Blanca.
When did you go? I'm going this october, i'm hoping everything is open by that time? Especially Gym😂😅
We went in March of this year. I sure would hope everything would be open by then. It should be great! Hope you have tons of fun!!!
Great video you guys. Please tell me this. I have knee issues and going up and down stairs is a problem wirh me. Does this resort have facilities in place (elevators, ramps, golf carts etc) to help me get everywhere I might want to go? (ie: from room to restaurants, beach, pool etc..) Thanks so much, Steve S.
Thanks! Yes from what I can remember, once you are down from the lobby there are ramps, good walkways around the resort, and then elevators in each building for the rooms. The only thing I'm not sure of is if there is an elevator at the lobby. I know there is a big set of stairs to get down after checkin, but then after that everything you would need is down on pretty much just one level. Other than checking in and out we didnt need to go to the lobby at all. And again not sure, they might have an elevator in the lobby area, I just don't know. Hopefully this info helps
How long was impressions open before you went when it was new? This resort looks great and I’m currently booked for June 19th the gym not being open isn’t an issue for us. Would you think 6 months of being open is a good time limit? This is my wife and I 3rd ever resort going for 5 days for our 10th anniversary. Good video by the way.
We were there at Impression Moxche for Valentine's in February of 2023. I google and it says it opened in Dec 2022... so I guess it had been open for about 3 months when we went. I personally would go back this weekend if I could.... I think 6 months in will be great, it was great when we were there. I know they've already opened a couple of the other restaurants. Super excited for yall and happy 10th coming up!!! Let me know how the trip goes and what you think. Glad you liked the video
What type of room is this? It looks really big. We are huge Secrets fan. We have been to Impression Moxhce, Tulum and Bahia Mita. Looking into this resort in July.
The room category was the Preferred Club Master Suite Ocean Front. You're right, it was big and the view was incredible. We did Impression Moxche last year and loved it. Haven't done bahia mita but just got back from Secrets Tulum last week. You'll love this one for July... but remember July will be HOT!!! Bring lots of sunscreen!
We are looking at this for sept 24 do you think that's enough time for the resort to be fully ready ?
Honestly I couldn't be sure but I would think so. It was great when we were there and I've seen posts where they've opened more restaurants and amenities. I think September would be great!
We’re heading to Secrets Maroma, is that one any good?
Yes! Maroma is great. Loved the beach there more than anything else. We really liked preferred club for the reserved beach section. But next time I would really try to upgrade to an ocean view or ocean front room. You can see in our Secrets Maroma video the view we had was just a tropical view and I personally love to look out onto the ocean. I'm super excited for yall - Hope you have lots of fun!!
When were u there? I want to go in June but not if the gym isn’t open.
We were there beginning of March. I think I remember them saying that gym and spa were suppose to be opened by June 1st but I think they are running behind schedule on stuff. If it’s not open by then maybe just throw down some pushups and a run on the beach 🤷♂️😂. I’d find a way to get there. It’s great
@HighlandSuccessful Website officially says spa and gym will not be open until July as it’s been updated
@@pokes1789 I just saw someone post a couple days ago about that change also.
How’s the nightlife?
While we were there they had the nightly entertainment show and of course the bar was open. People were out and it was lively but not a big party atmosphere like Royalton Chic tries for with their rooftop glow party. Plus, the resort is way up north so you can't walk out to any of the local clubs in the hotel zone if you wanted to.
The landscaping is a joke, the palm trees look dead, concrete everywhere, the beach is just ok, the water is not turquoise as I would expect, sorry but the resort is underwhelming, I’m sure the luxury and service is there but the look of it isn’t great
Was everything fully operational when you guys went? Also how did you get from Cancun airport to the hotel?
When we went there were still some things that weren't open like the gym and spa and quite a few of the restaurants, as well as what they call the jungle pool. We did know that prior to going and it didn't bother us. I some restaurants and the jungle pool have opened since then, but think the spa and gym might still be delayed opening. For transportation we used a company called Nexus.
@@kyle-ok thanks for the response! We’re using USA Transfers. $130 round trip. Steep price but we booked very last minute.
@@xWeaponOfChoicex yeah we've found the prices fluctuate. we booked ours about a week out from arrival and cheapest rate with nexus was $75 round trip for the private transfer but we ended up opting for the deluxe car option (suv) so it ended up being $142. In retrospect should have stuck with the cheaper rate.
