Weddings at Secrets Maroma Beach | Our Honest Review 2026

Is Secrets Maroma Beach the wedding resort of your dreams?

This adults-only resort sits on one of the world’s top-rated beaches.

And it’s one of my picks for couples who want an intimate, romantic wedding rather than a big, high-energy party.

And I have the DL on all you need to know.

You’ll get wedding packages, room types, entertainment options & more!

Ready? Let’s dive in…

Secrets Maroma Beach Weddings

1. Hotel Overview

★★★★★ | ADULTS-ONLY | ALL-INCLUSIVE | PLAYA DEL CARMEN

Secrets Maroma Beach is an adults-only, all-inclusive resort on Maroma Beach.

It’s roughly 35 minutes from Cancun International Airport, and is spread across around 500 acres.

That’s bigger than most Hotel Zone resorts, though smaller than some of the sprawling mega-resorts further down the Riviera Maya coast.

Covered walkways connect the buildings, which is a nice if your wedding runs into any rain.

You can enjoy elegant accommodations, world-class dining, unlimited top-shelf spirits, nightly entertainment & so much more.

And it leans heavily toward honeymooners and couples rather than big group travel.

So if you’re bringing a large, high-energy wedding party, know that the overall atmosphere here is quieter than some alternatives.

2. Wedding Packages

Secrets Maroma Beach offers 4 wedding packages, plus 1 all-inclusive package for South Asian weddings.

As a Preferred Club guest, you’ll enjoy upgraded amenities, 24-hour concierge service & access to the private lounge.

Prices start at $337.50 per person, per night.

Here’s my pro tip:

If you book a swim-out suite, ask about buildings 14 and 15 specifically; some guests have noted the pools in that section get more afternoon sun and stay a bit warmer than others.

9. What Brides Said...

“My husband and I got married Thanksgiving weekend and we couldn’t have asked for a better stay. We had a large wedding (80 – 85 guests) and our guests kept raving about their stay. The resort itself is beautiful but the service is everything. We were addressed by name. We had food and drinks brought to our pool area and some staff even memorized our food and drink orders so that we had drinks in our hands before we sat down.

brides opinion

Secrets Maroma also offers activities daily, Sam and Daniela were great! I got my hair and make up done at the spa and Diana captured the look I wanted perfectly.. Also make sure you can make time for the hydrospa…it’s a mix of hot and cold pools, steam rooms, etc….very relaxing! We can’t wait to go back to paradise for our anniversary!” – Diane O. 

10. Why I Like It

Secrets Maroma Beach is the perfect choice for couples looking for a luxurious & romantic getaway.

The resort is absolutely stunning & the service is amazing.

You can choose from a variety of activities to keep you entertained or just relax by the pool or on the beach.

But, there are always 2 sides to a coin (does anyone use a coin anymore?!)

So, here’s my honest opinion…
