Secrets Is Opening a New All-Inclusive in Playa del Carmen

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - January 22, 2021

AMResorts’ Secrets brand is set to expand in the Mexican Caribbean this year, Caribbean Journal has learned.

The company will be opening its new Secrets Playa del Carmen Resort and Spa in the “heart of the Riviera Maya,” this year, according to its Web site.

The 671-suite, adults-only, all-inclusive resort will be the 10th Secrets-branded resort in Mexico.

It will also be the first-ever Secrets resort to feature the new “Impression Club” experience, along with 14,600 square feet of event space.

The planned launch comes after AMResorts debuted six new resorts in the Caribbean-Mexico region in 2020.

“The region remains a cornerstone of ALG’s strategy to expand the AMResorts footprint, and the Group remains committed to supporting the recovery of these destinations from the COVID-19 pandemic,” parent company Apple Leisure Group said in a statement.
