The new-look resort is open.

Hyatt’s Secrets Playa Mujeres Golf and Spa Resort has officially reopened after an extensive renovation, unveiling a reimagined adults-only, all-inclusive experience just north of Cancun.

Set within the private, gated community of Playa Mujeres, the resort sits beside a Greg Norman–designed golf course and looks out over wide stretches of white sand and open Caribbean water. Its location places it about 35 minutes from Cancún International Airport, offering relative seclusion without sacrificing ease of arrival. The AAA Four Diamond, all-suite resort also gives you free access to the neighboring Dreams Playa Mujeres Golf & Spa Resort, expanding dining and activity options while preserving an adults-only atmosphere at Secrets itself.

According to general manager Mauricio Martinez, the renovation was designed to elevate every layer of the guest experience while staying true to the brand’s balance of romance, relaxation, and active escapes, particularly with direct access to one of the region’s most respected golf courses.

Accommodations With a Coastal Focus

All guest suites have been fully reimagined with what Hyatt calls a contemporary coastal design that leans on restraint rather than excess. Natural textures, softened lines, and fluid layouts shape rooms intended to feel calming and private, with color palettes drawn from sea and sky. 

For travelers seeking an elevated stay, the Preferred Club has a new two-story building that reshapes the arrival and daily flow of the experience. The ground floor houses a dedicated check-in lounge, while the second level features an exclusive ocean-view restaurant designed around long views and unhurried meals. Nearby, a newly-built private beach club offers a quieter beachfront setting, if you want distance from the main resort energy, particularly later in the day.

Reworked Arrival and Social Spaces

Public areas across the resort have been redesigned to create a more intuitive sense of movement from arrival through evening. The Rendezvous lobby bar has been relocated to the former main lobby, shifting it into a more central social role, while the check-in area has moved closer to guest accommodations to streamline arrivals and departures.

Meeting and event spaces have also been updated, positioning the resort more comfortably for group travel without overtaking its adults-only character. Enhancements to the Secrets Spa are scheduled to debut in mid-February, adding another layer to the resort’s wellness offering with refreshed facilities designed for recovery and relaxation.

Dining and Nightlife, Reimagined

Food and evening experiences have been central to the transformation. Desires Night Club and Coco Café now feature redesigned interiors that feel more contemporary while remaining familiar to returning guests. Portofino continues to anchor the Italian offering, refreshed with a more polished approach to both menu and setting.

Later in February, Bordeaux will reopen in a new form, shifting into an Amazonian-inspired concept intended to create a more immersive dining environment. The redesign signals a broader move across the resort toward experiences that feel distinct without becoming theatrical, allowing dining and nightlife to complement the atmosphere rather than overpower it.

What It Costs 

Prices are pretty high for Cancun: you can find rooms for about $1,143 per night, all inclusive, in February, according to what we found on Google Hotels.
