Playa del Secreto Villa | Secret Beach Fish Villa - on Beach - Private Pool - Owner is a Chef - Very Safe!

5 Bedroom Villa in Playa del Secreto

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.

Summary: Miguel and Liza were incredible. We had Miguel’s dinners twice & everything was SO good. We booked the massage, and the airport shuttle transfer. The owners were so helpful with everything & payment at the end was very easy. Any questions were quickly answered. I felt like we were at a hotel! We had 6 people staying, with so much extra space. Close to town, and the airport. Thank you so much! Highly recommend.

Summary: We had a fantastic stay. Miguel & Liza are very good at helping from start to finish; recommendations, feeding us… a lot of food! The villa was stocked upon arrival with all of our groceries. Miguel was available right away if we had a question. He made our catch of the day and then some for one of our dinners. The service staff very friendly and hard working. They really took care of us! We will be back and recommend you find this gem with the ocean with private beach right in your back yard.

Summary: The Fish Villa was an amazing place to stay for the week! Where to begin? Liza was extremely easy to deal with beforehand and during our stay, always answering questions very quickly. Miguel met us on arrival and gave us a great overview of the property and also some good advice about Puerto Morelos. He was always available to answer questions. The property was spotless when we arrived and the maids gave a valiant effort daily in keeping it that way, even though we were a party of 9 ranging from 4 years old to 81 years old. The pool and deck were attended to every morning before we all got up. We ordered the Welcome Dinner and a birthday celebration dinner from Miguel and both were delicious. And so much food! We always had enough for lunch the next day. The property looks just like it does in the photos, and although the beach did have sargassum washing up daily the beach was still wonderful. Beautiful warm water with waves just right for our young grandsons. Many sandcastles were built! There were also lots of boogy boards and other toys on the property which we used regularly. The villas are about a 15 minute drive from town so we recommend hiring a car. And book Get Away car rentals through Liza. They were an amazing company to deal with, dropping off our cars as asked for and meeting us at the airport to pick them up when we left. We all highly recommend this property. You won't regret it!!

Summary: We had such a great time and a lot of it had to do with our stay at the villa. Miguel was extremely nice, helpful and prepared delicious meals. We stayed at the Fish Villa and it was much more beautiful than it was in the photos. I’m hoping I can organize another stay at Playa Del Secreto. 5 stars all around.

Summary: Hands down, best vacation VRBO ever!! Communications and coordination were personable, direct with owners, spot-on accurate, overly accommodating and full service high-quality from booking and transfers, to tours, excursions, groceries, dinners, cleaning services etc. The Villa is spectacular and set up for couples, families, friends, groups etc. Luxury treatment by local onsite care takers for all needs! We were treated better than family and every request was met and exceeded our expectations. The grocery and dinner service was out of this world and made the trip a unique success!! There is no comparison to the qualify of dinners prepared by the owner chef and his team! So good, cost effective and convenient!! We traveled with 3 couples and 3 single adults. The 9 of us were very comfortable and enjoyed all the amenities. Having private pool, beautiful ocean front steps away, all the beach chairs, beds, tables….very spoiled. Better than resorts and ocean front location and beach can not be beat. Thank you for the best vacation Liza and Miguel. We will be back as often as possible and recommend you to all our friends!!

Summary: Had a fantastic stay at the Beach Villa. Liza and Miguel were fantastic hosts, very friendly and prompt with communication. They provided everything we needed for our family vacation including crib and pack and play for 2 babies. Miguel even cooked delicious meals for us (the lobster surf and turf was unreal!) and made a cake for a birthday! We already want to go back!

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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

Summary: 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!
