I can’t even contain my excitement that I have a TRAVEL DIARY blog post to share with you guys! Its been well over a year.. maybe even a year and a half and these are my favorite to write! Obviously you guys know travel is in my websites name but most of you haven’t been around since the beginning when I exclusively shared travel content. Since the beginning so much has changed and I share so many other things {which I love} but it is nice to get back to traveling and sharing about it. Anyways, now I am blabbing about nothing. Our stay with Secrets Playa Mujeres was INCREDIBLE. We loved the views, the food, the staff, the atmosphere. It was all great and they were so great with my gluten allergy! I could go on and on but the concierge staff were amazing, the bar staff, restaurant staff at ALL of the restaurants were just the nicest.
Secrets Playa Mujeres Golf & Spa Resort
Overview

1 swim up bar, 1 beach bar and 7 bars/lounges
An amazing spa
We were there for 4 nights and 5 days and it was the perfect amount of time. TIP: Being flexible with travel dates has really helped us in finding the best deals. Secrets Playa Mujeres is all-inclusive and had a ton fun activities on site. They had everything from jet ski rentals, parasailing, a great pool with a swim up bar, an infinity pool, tons of restaurants with different cuisines. They also have their own beach that is just beautiful! At Secrets, all tips are technically included but we tipped throughout the whole trip. We pulled out cash at the hotel in the Preferred Clubhouse down by the rooms. We got out about $150 in ones and fives.
They were also iPads in each room and on the iPad was a list of the restaurants that were open that evening, which activities were going on during the day, if the nightclub was open. These had a ton of information that was very helpful. A lot of these things were usually questions that you would call the concierge for but all of the information was just right there in front of you. We were in the preferred area of the resort so we actually had a special breakfast restaurant that we were able to go to. The Restaurant was amazing it’s called Oceana and YUM. Breakfast lunch and dinner we’re all spot on we loved it there and had breakfast there every day even though we had other options.
We were there for Dustin’s birthday and they went all out for him! We had a bottle of champaign brought to the room and they left a little dessert for him that said “Happy Birthday” on the plate. They also put a birthday banner on our door which was really cool to walk up and see! Maria worked in the front of the hotel when you checked in and she really took the time to get to know us! We also were greeted by the concierge and that’s where I was given a little card that I gave to the restaurants to let them know that I have a gluten allergy. It was in English and Spanish just to make sure there wasn’t any miscommunication. I felt 100% safe eating at every single restaurant! I would also just like to take a moment to complain that THIS is the only photo I took out of ALLLLL of the food I ate while on vacation?! Oh well, these tacos were GOOD! Like SO good!
What to Wear
I actually brought double the amount of swimsuits that are linked below but the rest were sold out or no longer sold! I have had really great luck with Shein swimwear, especially since we are in the pool all of the time now and wear them most days of the week! Amazon swimsuits are also really great and at a great price point! I will do a swim round up of sorts in the near future for you guys!
Secrets Playa Mujeres was an actual dream. We actually visited as guests and left members, we were so impressed! Have you traveled to/stayed at a Secrets or Dreams location before? What was your experience? I would love to know what you thought of it. You can comment below or you can send me an email at tarynintotravel@gmail.com and I will respond to you there!
