I got a call from Secrets this morning saying my Dec. reservation for the brand new Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres had been cancelled due to a delay in the resort opening.

Instead of Dec. 1, 2023, the new opening date is projected for Feb. 1, 2024, and even that date was not solidly confirmed by the Secrets rep I spoke with.  So, hold off on booking this resort right now because obviously there are lots of problems the company is dealing with concerning this new Secrets.

Since I booked directly on the resort website, I was offered a voucher for a future stay at the new Secrets for the same specifications (number of nights, number in the party, type of room) if I were to select another Secrets resort for my original dates of stay.  Since I’ve already been to the other Secrets resorts in this area of Mexico I have had a particular interest in, I opted out; if you are in the same boat you can get a free future stay at the new Secrets if your reservation has been cancelled, but only if you’ve booked directly with Secrets and are willing to substitute another Secrets resort.

Instead of 4 nights at Secrets Playa Blanca, I will be staying at the renovated Secrets Capri which is now the Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya, another adults-only resort.  The total Dec. trip will consist of starting off at the Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen for a couple of nights for a brief exploration of Playa del Carmen, then off to the brand new Secrets Tulum for 3 nights, then 4 nights at the Hyatt in a Tropical View Swim-Up.

So, stay tuned for my upcoming solo adventure!  I’m really looking forward to sharing this trip with you…You can follow me on my Instagram page at allinclusivegal.
