If you are looking for a romantic getaway Secrets the Vine in Cancun is a great option. I spent my 3rd wedding anniversary there enjoying views of the Caribbean Sea, excellent food, and much more. Four days is the perfect amount of time for a short getaway, and with the flight to Cancun from Chicago being under three hours, it’s easy to do for a weekend. Keep reading for my Secrets the Vine Cancun reviews.
Secrets the Vine is located in the hotel zone of Cancun and is a short drive from the airport. Upon arrival, we were greeted with Champagne and ushered to the 21st floor for our Preferred Club check-in. The whole process was extremely easy, stress-free, and a bit luxurious. After checking in, we were escorted to our room by our butler, Eduardo, who showed us all the features of our Oceanview Suite and explained that he and his team were available for anything that we needed. There are also convenient tablets in each room that allow you to order room service, book services, and contact members of the Secrets team at the hotel. As far as romantic resorts in Cancun go, Secrets the Vine is unrivaled.
Secrets Of The Vine Preferred Club
For anyone new to this resort I would highly recommend the Preferred Club, if only for the use of the Preferred Club pool. The entire resort is beautiful but getting to experience the views from the rooftop pool, that looks over the entire grounds as well as Caribbean Sea is truly breathtaking. It is a small pool area, perfect for mingling with friends or for enjoying the company of your significant other on a romantic getaway. The private bungalows are on a first come first serve basis, but we were always able to get one, which is great for a midday nap or to get out of the sun and enjoy your favorite book. The Preferred Club option made Secrets the Vine one of the most romantic Cancun resorts.
A Romantic Dinner In Cancun
Although we didn’t do any excursions over the weekend, we did book a private dinner on the beach. This is a top pick from me if you are looking to do a romantic dinner in Cancun. The reservations go quick, so if you are interested in the romantic dinner option make sure you see a concierge early in your trip to ensure that they will have a reservation available. We ate in a private gazebo on the edge of the beach that overlooked the ocean, with the hotel as our backdrop. The dinner included two waiters who were able to assist us in setting the perfect scene. The setting was better than any romantic restaurants in Cancun. This is a great option for anniversaries, honeymoons, or engagement trips. The food was absolutely delicious, you pre-pick your items when you book with the concierge, and a bottle of wine is included with the meal price. I would highly recommend this activity, as it is a great way to set the tone of your trip and something special to do with your significant other.
Secrets Of The Vine Dining Options
Aside from our romantic dinner for two, the food and bar options at the resort are excellent. You can enjoy an expansive breakfast buffet that includes both Mexican and American favorites, eat at the mouthwatering Mediterranean restaurant located on the Preferred Club pool level, or enjoy a wine tasting every day in the lobby outside of the wine bar. With 8 restaurants and 7 bars you will have constant options for food and dining no matter how long your stay.
In-Room Dining & Romance Packages
Another way to enhance your romantic getaway is the in-room dining. Now this is no regular room service, this is definitely a wonderful add on that will make your trip extra special. As part of the romance packages available to honeymooners or couples celebrating anniversaries is a romantic breakfast in the room. You can set this up with your butler if you are on the Preferred Club level. You choose your food options and time the night before and in the morning your food and mimosas are brought to your room and set up either in the room or on the balcony. With a stunning view of both the lagoon and the Caribbean Sea, it only made sense for us to enjoy our breakfast on the balcony. Eat-in the provided bathrobe and slippers and take in the expansive ocean views while you sip on champagne and eat your favorite breakfast foods. If you are looking for romantic Cancun vacations, Secretes the Vine pulls out all the stops.
