Amazing quiet gates community beach front access with a pool both at the beach and at the residence.highly recommend for childless couples

except for not being on the water and being in rear of next property off water trip was great

Property manager gave us our best experience ever in Mexico. He had collected some turtle hatchlings the night before to help them grow a bit before freeing them. He let us take the baby sea turtles into the ocean after dark. Great experience! The forest (best seen from the roof) was super cool. Tons of exotic birds. Easy access to puerto Morelos for shopping and food, as well as snorkeling and fishing (maybe 10 km or so). A few small things. We all four used the same shower because one of the shower heads wasn’t well secured and wouldn’t spray correctly. It got a bit tedious because of the frequent need to wash up. Bedroom door latches did not work well, so there was usually a struggle to open and close doors. Easy fixes if you bring a screwdriver. AC worked very well. Beach was gorgeous, but you had to walk across a courtyard and down a road then up a long driveway which sometimes felt a bit strange. Almost felt like going in somebody else’s propriety. Then you must walk across a private deck to get on the beach. Awkward. It was by no means an oceanfront condo, but the forest setting made up for that. And you could get to the beach in around 5 minutes. Cool place. Beautiful beach. Tons to do. Close to puerto Morelos. Having a car is a must. If you like to cook, bring a sharp knife. I would definitely stay again.

My family and I stayed here for 5 nights in March. I selected Playa del Secreto because I was able to see the beach on a prior visit and loved the deep sand beaches and the turquoise waves crashing on the sandy seafloor. Although We also stayed in Puerto Morelos on our trip and loved that too….but there were places in PM that had thin sand cover and the outer reef in PM prevents waves from reaching the shore. Coco’s Villa (and tbh, any of the other condos on this property) are great for a group of people that want to avoid the bulkier, crowded resorts nearby. For us, it was worth it to have a large home (with three bathrooms all with showers) and not have an ocean view. Plus, the walk to the beach is only like half a kilometer so not a big deal. We checked in with Alberto. He has three lovely dogs (I knew this in advance and approached with caution the first time I met them…but they were super friendly and great with my teenage girls). He spoke good English but also was willing to entertain my minimal Spanish. We had an issue with the outlet connected to the water heater (it kept tripping) and Alberto was very responsive and had it fixed the next day. I understand that the water heater was pretty new so I think this was a new issue. Plus, given the heat, it wasn’t really a big deal to me to take an ambient temperature shower. But it worked perfectly after Alberto fixed it. I chose Coco’s Villa because it was not connected to the other units and because of the rooftop balcony. I ended up using the rooftop balcony very little, but it was a great place to go if you needed a stronger cell connection. This house is surrounded by jungle. We saw and listened to several bird species during our stay. We also occasionally encountered small animals inside. A few baby gecko were adored by all. A cricket and a couple of spiders were easily removed. The kitchen had enough of everything to be very functional. If you plan on cooking, you might consider Saran Wrap, ziplocs, or plastic ware to store leftovers. You are provided with large water cooler. The 3 AC units (1 in each of the 2nd floor bedrooms, and 1 in the living room) worked perfectly. We ran the bedroom ones @ night. The strong winds pushed Sargasso onto the beach for the bulk of our stay. This did not affect us. You access the beach via casa chanty. This was an issue once when a guest there asked who I was. But I dealt with this quickly. The beach palapas and chairs were dope!
