Pros and cons of Secrets Maroma
PROS
- The beach is just UNREAL! There is no doubt mother nature’s changing the surrounding shorelines, but Maroma Beach is still one of the largest, clearest, and most beautiful beaches there is around.
- Receiving the AAA Five Diamond award uninterruptedly since 2014 is a true guarantee of top-notch service and luxurious accommodations.
- Rooms are divided into buildings, each with a concierge ready to assist you during your stay. This makes the service even more personalized.
- The infinity pool has a zero-level entry area on one side, so guests with mobility issues can safely enjoy a dip in the water.
- Another of the many great things about this resort is that you have covered hallways, so even during rain you can get between buildings without receiving a single drop.
CONS
- Secrets Maroma is not really known for being a party resort. There is evening entertainment, however, Desires nightclub will be closed due to Covid until further notice.
- The infinity pool is the quiet one, however, is super close to the activities and entertainment pool so there is not much difference.
Rooms and Sections
All 412 suites are divided between several 4 level buildings, each with an elevator. The decor is modern and elegant, with a lot of marble, wood, and bright color fabrics, and 65% of them offer some kind of ocean view from the balconies.
On the lower floor of each building, you’ll find the concierge desk, and swim-up suites have direct access to a private pool from their terrace, so no need to go far to dip your toes in the water!
The Preferred Club area is an extra level of luxury, where you enjoy personalized check-in and out, exclusive access to a Lounge, upgraded mini-bar amenities, daily afternoon tea, complimentary access to hydrotherapy areas of the spa, and an exclusive beach club!
How is the beach at Secrets Maroma?
Maroma beach itself has been voted as one of the World’s Best Beaches by Tripadvisor, Oyster, and USA Today’s 10 Best, and we couldn’t agree more!
The beach is ideal for long morning walks, practicing any water sport, or simply bathing under the Caribbean sun to get that necessarily vitamin sea.
More adventurous travelers will find parasailing, catamarans, windsurfing, and other activities available at Marina Maroma next door.
Food & Drinks
The food here is what you would expect from any high-end, awarded resort. Top-notch all the way! From the buffet to the grill and pizza oven at the beach and the specialty restaurants for dinner, everything is consistently excellent.
French, Mexican, Asian, Italian-inspired restaurants will provide you with delicious options at every meal. Remember to try the grill menu and to have a taco served by the pool!
Of course, no visit to Secrets Maroma would be complete without a few stops at Coco Cafe. The true star of the resort. You’ll love this wonderful little corner filled with sweet treats, pastries, and snacks. Our favorite!
Activities, Sports & Kids Club
The entertainment staff does a really good job of keeping you as busy as you want. You can try the aqua aerobics by the pool, volleyball by the beach, morning, yoga, tequila tastings, and so on.
At night, theme shows take the spotlight. So you can come here after dinner, grab a drink and enjoy the performance. Remember, no kids here.
Exchange Privileges

Secrets Maroma Wedding Locations
There are 4 outdoor locations to choose from for weddings at Secrets Maroma. Back-up locations are in the ballrooms.
Beach Weddings at Secrets Maroma
For either your wedding ceremony, cocktail, and/or reception, this is a dream location. With miles of gorgeous white sandy beach as far as your eyes can see. The Caribbean Sea is the backdrop. Set on a very private side of the resort. Great for large groups, with a capacity for 150 guests.
Wedding Gazebo by the Pool
This location has an ocean view and becomes pretty private thanks to the Gazebo’s lovely drapes (not featured in the unedited image). Your guests will face the beach during the ceremony. The surrounding terrace area can also be used for your cocktail hour and/or wedding reception. The capacity is for up to 80 guests.
Seaside and Oceana Terraces
Seaside: The largest terrace at the resort, with a capacity for 150 guests, expanding on to the garden area for more guests if needed. There is low traffic of people in this area in the late afternoon, so it is fairly private. The palm trees and ocean breeze make it a great outdoor tropical location for your cocktail or reception.
Oceana: Also a spacious terrace with a capacity of 120 guests for either cocktail hour or reception. It is located in the central area between the buildings.
Ballroom
If you want an indoor location for your cocktail or reception with A/C this is the spot for you. This area is also a bad weather backup. It offers several break-out areas for smaller groups but can fit up to 300 people if you use the entire ballroom space. It is right across the nightclub and has no curfew, unlike the other locations.
And of course, there’s a backup location for the ceremony as well, for crazy Caribbean weather reasons. Very spacious, with a lot of light and right by the ballroom.
