Every possible need we had was surpassed with a simple mention and they continued to make us feel like we were the most important people on the property. They made us feel like family! A huge thank you to Alfonso in building 27 who was stupendous and utterly kind. Jessica, janet and Alberto also went above and beyond as well. The property was very nicely appointed and kept in excellent maintenance. The beach was always being cleaned and the linens and towels clean and abundant. The entertainment was never boring and offered beautiful evening filled with awe. This was a much needed time away and we will be back! Read less

It really stands up over other Secrets hotels I have visited before... The service, the room, the bed, the toiletries, the pool, the food, the cafe, the beach... in general, very nice overall hotel. Upsides: Service: They really go all the way to make the best out of your stay Room: Clean, perfect maintenance, nice toiletries, amazing bed,… Read more
It really stands up over other Secrets hotels I have visited before... The service, the room, the bed, the toiletries, the pool, the food, the cafe, the beach... in general, very nice overall hotel. Upsides: Service: They really go all the way to make the best out of your stay Room: Clean, perfect maintenance, nice toiletries, amazing bed, although pillows could improve... Food: very good overall, special shout to Coco Cafe... just amazing! Downsides, if any... Buffet is currently undergoing renovations so, its temporarily placed in the conference room, wich makes it not as nice as the rest of the hotel, but it is still ok... anyway, there should be an A LA CARTE restaurant thats serves breakfast (as you can find in other Secrets hotels). Desires Music Lounge: This is definitely the weakest link of the chain, where to start... DJ sucks, speakers sound terrible, (really, they need to be replaced) , the place itself is old, strange, and outdated... I mean it is a minor hiccup, in an otherwise excellent resort... but, why?

The Secrets Marina Beach was a beautiful resort. Restaurants were top notch and the service was incredible. Our concierge Roberto in the Preferred Club was outstanding. He took care of everything for us and made us feel like royalty! I highly recommend this resort.
