This is it. Stop your search. These are the best villas in all of Mexico, maybe the world. The care and attention the team gave to the design of the rooms and the ambiance of the property... My dad visibly gasped the first time he walked through the Palapa and saw the property. We booked these villas for our wedding, and it was the best choice of our lives. All of our guests easily said it was the best wedding weekend they've ever attended. Beach volleyball, bonfire, karaoke, bartenders on request, yoga studio, beachfront access, a pool in every villa, a full snack bar, and dinner menu. It was perfect in every way, shape, and form, and I can't believe we were lucky enough to have booked it. Thank you to Oscar and the team for providing first-class service and making our weekend magical. It wouldn't have been the same without your support. Stop reading and start booking. Seriously, we're already planning our 5-year anniversary here and we will be back again and again.

AMAZING WEDDING! let me just start by addressing the review below about my wedding. This unit was not part of Hacienda and due to the unfortunate accident at the other offsite apartment the individual felt the need to add things on there that are not what we really experienced nor a part of hacienda. Our wedding and stay for the four days of the resort were simply amazing and the staff and Oscar were hands on and made everyone feel welcome and special. Doy our planner worked with us for a year and helped us achieve our dream wedding and made sure we had the best of times. We had our whole family and friends with us and although some unexpected events occured like seaweed coming on the beach(no one can control that - and hacienda worked to remove some of it) we made the best of it and had a blast. The food was wonderful, the DJ was super accommodating, the staff at the wedding and for the weekend went above and beyond to assure us that we had all the little things for our BBQ, and other activities. I would recommend this place a 100 times over for anyone looking to have a special unique wedding or vacation getaway, we stayed here 2 times before deciding to finalize it as our venue and we are so glad that we did because it was a great time. So whether you are looking to rent one villa, or the whole place, you won't be let down as it is a wonderful place to enjoy life or celebrate any occasion.

We recently stayed at Hacienda Del Secreto in Playa del Carmen for a family reunion with a large group of about 40, and we have nothing but positive feedback to share. The personalized hospitality we received exceeded all expectations. The beachfront location was excellent, and the food and chef services provided were outstanding, making our dining experiences truly memorable. The villas were beautifully designed with high-quality amenities, offering personalized accommodation that catered to our every need. The onsite access to entertainment facilities such as kayaks, a beachfront fire pit, volleyball and basketball courts, as well as pools and jacuzzis, ensured that there was never a dull moment. I highly recommend Hacienda Del Secreto for family and friends gatherings. It surpasses any all-inclusive resorts you may be considering. The property owners and management team members were extremely helpful, friendly, and genuinely cared about ensuring our positive experience. Comparing this to all inclusive resorts would be unfair and does injustice to what truly is a remarkable experience with utmost privacy and great personal attention.
