Hotel Secreto

When traveling, I like simple, understated and beautifully-designed hotels. I don’t like a “scene” and I don’t need to be fussed over. Just responded to upon request and left alone otherwise. When Ian Shrager introduced Morgan’s Hotel in New York City, it was a revelation. To find that kind of simple elegance on level of Isla Mujeres was a surprise and a true delight. The taxi pulled up in front of a beautiful, but unsigned modern building and let us out. I said “are you sure this is the Secreto?” He said yes, we walked up the steps and two women welcomed us to a simple but beautiful living room and sitting room area. Within one minute, I was in ny room, pleasantly large, simply designed with a large sitting area outside, looking out over the pool and beyond the pool to a beautiful, small private beach. The room had everything I needed, including small refrigerator and everything was perfect. Many restaurants are within walking distance and three days later, I hated to have to leave. I would not consider staying anywhere else in Cancun or Isla.

Secreto is now our home away from home! We go to Isla Mujeres at least once a year and we won’t stay anywhere else! The ladies at the desk are all amazing! Angel on the roof is great!

The hotel was delightful, and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. Unfortunately Isla Mujeres does not have great food. This is not my first time to the island. We tried three of the recommended restaurants. All were mediocre at best. Secreto is wonderful!

We prefer this type of smaller resort feel. Secreto is in good condition, but you need to appreciate the modern style, sacrificing drawers / closet storage space.

Great spot centrally located, staff was very accommodating. Close to all the downtown amenities and Playa Norte

What a perfect way to spend our first ever vacation there. The staff was amazing and the property was conveniently located. If I had a wish for future enhancements I would add (1) Hot Tub, (2) Chair in room & (3) Clean and modernize Gym. All in all we loved our stay here.

Awesome place great service and great food in the area.

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Secreto. The small, intimate atmosphere never felt crowded, and our second-floor ocean view room lived up to expectations. Our room was large and the bed was comfy. The hotel's location—just a short walk to town and Playa Norte but tucked away enough to stay peaceful—was ideal. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful. The pool area was a definite plus; we always found chairs near the beach end, and the hotel’s beach was quiet, with no vendors and very few people. We also enjoyed the rooftop bar with live music in the evening. The only things that could have improved our stay were better humidity control in the rooms and a slightly warmer pool temperature.

Great place

Very comfortable 3 night stay - well worth paying the extra for a second floor balcony room. Welcome tranquil spot in an otherwise very touristed area. Short walking distance to the public beach, eateries and dive centre.
