James, so many thoughts come to mind after watching this. 1. "Well I won't be going there then". 2. "Cool is having a pretty crappy time in Cozumel" 3. "Looking at that preferred pool situation I didn't realize this place is at baboon level". 4. "With all the great All Inclusives I can go to I wouldn't go here". 5. "Well I guess I'll be going back to the Iberostar Grand". And then the video ends and another one starts playing automatically. Which one was it? Your visit to the Iberostar in Cancun, LOL! Every vacation is a big "?" as far as what's going to happen. I'd say almost 1/2 of all the vacations I've ever been on go sideways at some point for some reason. The ability to turn garbage into gold is the secret but sometimes that isn't even possible. You gotta' just try your best and you do. I hope there are some points in these travels that you take a week or so and stay at one of the nicer place and just enjoy it w/o all the videos. You owe yourself that much. Looking forward to the next one.

One more thought: Things like the do not disturb sign and the a/c unit should be taken care of w/o any input from you. It's what I call the "Magic Farriers" element. You have multiple people coming into your room every day to clean it and stock the fridge. They should be reporting it to maintenance and getting it done w/o any prompting from you. One of the housekeepers should have noticed the home made DND sign and just replace it right on your door w/o any prompting from you. That's the kind of service I expect at these places.

Thank you for articulating exactly how our stays were there. We did go back but only because they had to offer us 3 free nights as recovery for how bad our first visit was. We waited almost a year to go back so they'd have time to improve. Sadly, they did not but we arrived with low expectations & made the best of it. We've been to several Secrets as UVC members & are shocked this resort is allowed to be in that group of properties. We arrived expecting the Secrets brand service & quality. You nailed it exactly regarding the NASCAR crowd-on both of our visits it was like that every night. We spent a lot of time off resort both visits because they made us uncomfortable-luckily there's a lot to see & do on the island with a rental vehicle. Thank you for your honesty in your reviews-you helped us decide on our next resort, Secrets Royal Beach! Would love to hear your take on their properties in Huatulco if possible.

Loud crowds, an extraordinary amount of profanity, and couples copulating in the pools - those are my memories - and that is not good. We too were preferred club and found the staff in the preferred areas cold as stated. And yes, took us a long time to get into our room. A very fair assessment of the beach and water. We, however, did like the small restaurant shared with a neighboring property because of the views and staff. However, the selection offered was limited for the cost of the resort. We too, were very disappointed.

It's one thing to show the beach and your room and restaurants but you don't video others and post it for everyone to see without permission.

I would like to know what the very old people were doing that was so far from what they should be doing at their age. If they were 30-40 year olds would you have mentioned their age too? Why was mentioning their age relevant? Laughing, joking around, singing, dancing, having fun? That is all you showed in your video. Was there more? Were they screaming and running throughout the halls playing ding dong ditch? It sounds to me that the issue is the placement of the pool near the rooms, not the fact that there were 50-60 year olds "not acting their age". There are people of all ages who love to travel, meet other couples and have a great time...which often ends up with noise.

I answered this in a comment already. You seem really insecure about your age.

You do know that Secrets has a Resort Pass for cruisers at Secrets Aura, right? That’s the crowd you’re getting.

I'm sorry but it's the middle of the afternoon not 2 am. You love the young 20 somethings jumping around all night long. I don't think they did anything wrong. Not there problem you were trying to sleep in the middle of the day. And what grown man uses the word ratchet? Hate to tell you, you aren't 20 y/o

Resort Pass - Cozumel is full of cruisers who get off the ship and live their best lives on a cheap day pass excursion to the resort. They are rowdy and rude and typically Americans who believe cruising is traveling. Last year while staying in PDC I booked a snorkeling excursion unfortunately the tour was a whole family from Alabama who booked the excursion through the cruise ship. It was a nightmare.

We had the worst experience at this resort. We booked oceanfront jr suite 6/2023. Everything was out dated and in need of upgrades. The electricity kept going out for hours at a time. Management offered no assistance. I do not recommend this resort.

For me the lack of amenities, open or selection of restaurants, rooms in disrepair or an ambivalent or untrained staff will always by far outweigh the crowd. Like your neighbors there is no way to control who can come to Secrets or any resort and who can't. If Secrets did have standards to have the perfect Honeymoon crowd, they wouldn't have let you in as a solo traveler with a big camera or I phone on a gimbal. I noticed a man hand raking the beach early in the morning and for me that's everything.

Good eye on the guy raking - I am glad they did manicure and maintain the beach, as a Secrets should. I actually booked it for two, but just told them my girl wasn't coming - which is actually a true story 😎 No gimbal or bulky gear for me because I need to stay as incognito as possible. I do shoot everything in ProRes 60k though 😎

sorry if you had a bad time, kinda aggressively ageist there though. old people vacation too
@Coolist10 ай бұрын
Nothing agist at all. i just call it like I see it, and if you look and listen to the video, you can see it for yourself. People should read the room and act their age, or at least act within 2 decades of it.

Me too, hence the supreme dissatisfaction given the price and prestige of the brand. And for the record m, I'm closer to the dirt than the womb ☺️
