Secret Beach Fish Villa - on Beach - Private Pool - Owner is a Chef - Very Safe!


The Secret Beach Fish Villa has long been a favorite of the Mayan Riviera and for some good reasons.

Located in a Very Small Safe Gated (Guard 24/7) Residential Community of High-End Villas - no crowds - very private. Close to all the local attractions but tucked away on the Mayan Riviera's Secret Beach (Playa del Secreto) is known as the nicest beach along the Mayan Riviera that our Staff rakes daily. We are also a Turtle Nest Sanctuary. Nice time to come is during the Turtle season.

Amazing!
Couldn’t ask for a better location for our vacation. We had our 6 grandkids and between the pool and the beach, they had non stop fun. We had Chef Miguel cook dinner for us every night. The meals were delivered timely, hot and were delicious. Loved how the Villa’s were beautifully decorated with items appropriate to their name. We stayed in the Fish and Boat Villa’s. There was plenty of seating inside and out to spread out. Thank you Liza and Miguel for everything you did to make our vacation memorable.

nice place for a group or family
we were looking for a place for our family to enjoy without having to venture into mexico nightlife or mix into college crowd type cancun so this was perfect. the house was nice, Anna , Miguels assistant was so sweet, Miguel was very attentive & kind. Liza does all the preplanning so unfortunately we could not meet in person, but most everything is done by email before hand. Very detailed. I will say so much so that it is a bit confusing. (and I am I detail fanatic!) but appreciate it all the same. word of advice: do use the links to book extras ahead yourself, I did not realize I was supposed to do that, I thought I had read they would do that, and I sort of felt like I was really bothering them constantly. Massages are NOT on the beach like in the photo, but they were nice . Not alot of beach, alot of seaweed, but absolutely beautiful! Clean, beach house vibe, pool is cleaned at night and morning. wonderful people

Best Vacation Ever
We celebrated my 60th birthday with this amazing trip. It was an absolute dream! From the very beginning, communication with Liza was prompt, friendly, and so helpful. She set up things like a transport van to pick us up/return us to airport, car rental, and even had the place put up some decorations for my birthday! Once we arrived Miguel was our contact person and chef. He greeted us with a smile and was always available to assist us in any way. And he was our fabulous chef! Let me tell you we ate most all our dinners and some breakfasts through their chef service and it was one of the highlights of our trip! If you can, do it! We found it to be much more affordable and delicious than any other food experience away from their place. And their place…it was beyond incredible! The view, private pool, steps to the beach (raked and cleaned each day), housekeeping, couldn’t be more convenient or better. My family (ages 5, 6, 32, 34, 35, 60, 68, and 78) all gave it a strong 10/10!! My grandson even learned how to swim while there. And we always felt safe, as the beach is “private” and the area is gated and guarded 24/7. This was my dream vacation and Liza, Miguel, and staff were a big part in making it possible! We all hope to return!

Best vacation!!!!
We all loved Liza and Miguel’s place so much! They were excellent hosts- organized and the property was so clean. We had a great section of beach and our kids loved exploring the little tide pools a short walk away. It was so convenient for the kids to run out to the pool or beach whenever they wanted and to quickly get back inside when they needed a break from the sun. Adults loved the food and Miguel’s cooking class was a lot of fun! Would recommend going into Puerto Morelos for a day and also check out some ceynotes. We’d love to come back!

We had the most wonderful spring break experience at our stay in this lovely home. The location is fabulous...not too far from the airport, grocery store, restaurants, and local attractions but RIGHT on a fabulously secluded beach! Our main goal was to be away from crowded beaches and this villa delivered! It was just perfect for our family of 6.

Absolutely Wonderful!
Secret Beach Villas was simply awesome! The location is easy and convenient to the Cancun Airport and the property is safe and secure, just to get started! The beach is quite literally one of the best in all of Mexico. The sand is pristine, the water clean, and ocean safe to swim and play in. The villa is wonderful and worked very well for our group of seven. Do yourself a favor and use Miguel as your chef! His food is amazing and we looked forward to every meal! I don't know what will be more memorable over time, Miguel's cooking or the superb quality of the beach and ocean! Either way, both were fabulous and the Secret Beach Villas will definitely be at the top of our list for future vacations!

My family stayed in the fish villa for a week. From the beginning of the trip to the end, our experience was amazing! Miguel and Liza were great hosts who were always available if we needed anything. The house was perfect! Nothing feels better than walking right out of a house, past the private pool, and walking straight onto the beach! The location is perfect, 30 minutes from Cancun and 30 minutes from Playa del Carmen. We really liked visiting Puerto Morelos, which was only a 15 minute drive. Honestly, all the beaches in Cancun and Playa del Carmen were packed. We appreciated our quite beach in front of the villa. The service was great. There were housekeepers who cleaned everything up daily. And a person who cleaned the beach and pool area. I highly recommend staying here!!!

It was all that we'd hoped for.
My extended family has had a reunion in Mexico every winter for a long time, and we've rented several different houses over the years. This one really is as advertised ( that's not to be taken for granted)! Everything was clean, orderly, and maintained (and the daily cleaners were very non-intrusive, which we appreciated). We arrived to the groceries we ordered and a really terrific prepared meal (empanadas, sides, margaritas) and that level of service lasted our entire stay. When little things did go wrong (broken chair, TV trouble), someone was there to fix it right away. And the property itself is fantastic! We've stayed in bigger houses but none was better at accomodating our large group comfortably for meals and just happily hanging out. The pool was cleaned every day and the beach was the best yet--just soft, white sand, perfect for even our toddler to roll in the waves. I also really appreciated how every request we made (recommendations for excursions, transport to and from airport, etc.) was handled quickly and smoothly. This one really is a winner.

Perfect getaway for families, esp with young children
We had a really wonderful stay with Miguel and Liza. We really couldn't ask for a better set up with our young children. We rented the house with two families, with total 4 children under 4. Liza was very communicative before check in, and answered all of our questions. She helped us arrange transfers to airport, which were seamless. She also helped us get groceries and baby items for the children, including pack n plays, gates, and high chairs. When you check in, Miguel takes over. He is a wonderful chef! We opted to get breakfast and dinner nearly every day of our stay. The food is delicious and enjoyed by all! There are many different meal options, and we enjoyed everything we ordered. (fish tacos are a must!) He even helped us to get a medication for our daughter while we are there. The property is extremely safe! This is a gated community with a guard. The property is very clean. they take wonderful care of the pool and beach which was pristine. We loved the option of having pool and beach right outside for maximum convenience with young kids with nap schedules etc. This was not a negative for us, but just note that it is quite far from attractions and town. It was $60 USD roundtrip to get to closest town for our one dinner out. This would likely not be ideal stay for people trying to go out often and party, etc. This is a great situation for larger groups if you want to rent multiple adjacent villas. Also the construction is very sound and cement walls makes it nearly impossible to hear your neighbors. The staff do an excellent job keeping everything looking great. This is the first place we've ever stayed that we for sure plan to come back. We've already told so many friends and family about it, but dont want to let the secret out! :)

Wow what a great place to stay
The Fish Villa was a great property for our married children and us older folks. The setting is totally amazing with immediate access to the ocean if that’s not enough, we enjoyed the personal pool as well. The water accessories were perfect and met all our needs. We were eight adults and we could not have been happier. We were isolated with a guarded gate and felt totally safe at all times. We used the food service at the villa for many evenings and the food was incredible with plenty of great and exciting food. We also took advantage of the cooking class with Chef Miguel. Any foodie would love to attend the two hour class. It was hands-on and so much fun!!! We drove two cars to give us lots of options. We really liked that part of it. The beach was perfect.

A week of pure relaxation
Rather than the typical resort you’d find along the Riviera Maya, I was looking for a relaxing beach house experience for my family of 4. Having been to the area many times and resting after a major illness, I was looking for a vacation rental that would deliver pure relaxation - and the Playa Secreto Fish Villa more than delivered! From the moment we booked, Liza and Miguel took care of everything - our biggest decision each day was deciding which spectacular menu items we would order. The house is exceptionally clean - about thirty minutes after we arrived I realized I had been walking around the house barefoot, so I looked down to get a view of the bottoms of my feet - and they were completely clean, I couldn’t believe it! I had walked every square inch of the Villa checking things out and oooing and ahhhing over each room, and there was not a stitch of dirt to be found. Because we were looking to stay on property and relax, we had almost every one of our meals prepared by the amazing chef Miguel & his team - and the food was absolutely amazing. We had 1 vegetarian in our group, and 3 meat eaters, and everyone absolutely raved about the food. We would have happy hour (a pitcher of cocktails + a large appetizer) served early afternoon everyday - around lunch time, and then dinner around sunset (7 pm). There was always plenty of food for leftovers, which we would save and use to start our breakfast in the morning, accompanied by eggs, fresh fruit, and coffee that Liza and Miguel stocked for us in the refrigerator ahead of our arrival. The beach is absolutely beautiful, perfect warm turquoise water with equally perfect powdery white sand, and a matching sandy ocean bottom makes for a difficult decision when it comes to ocean or pool. We spent most of our days pivoting back and forth from the ocean to the pool, where we would move our umbrella along with the sun to keep an area of the pool shaded for reading books and sipping cocktails. Liza and Miguel’s team is incredibly kind and very helpful, and we felt like a part of the family by the end of the week. They arranged everything for us from airport transportation to covid testing for the flight home, grocery shopping, every meal, in-home massages, and even taxis when we needed them. We couldn’t ask for a better stay, and can’t wait to return!
