Our Guide to the Top All-Inclusive Adults Only Resorts in Mexico

Let’s start our journey on the Riviera Maya, located on the Caribbean side of Mexico’s wonderful Yucatan Peninsula.

Secrets Maroma Beach is our top pick among adults only all-inclusive resorts in Mexico, and it’s no secret why. This top-rated resort is located right on Playa Maroma—one of the most sought-after white sand beaches in all of Mexico.

In our humble opinion, this is about as ideal of a spot to get away from it all as you’ll find.

There’s lots to see and do in the Riviera Maya, but we won’t blame you if you spend your entire vacation relaxing at the resort and taking full advantage of their super-comfortable rooms—from swim-up suites, to romantic oceanfront abodes featuring 24-hour room service.

And of course we can’t forget to mention the full-service spa, offering full-body treatments and therapies. If you’re looking to indulge in the simpler things, soaking up the sun and dreamy Caribbean views from Maroma Beach is only steps away from the resort.

But if you’re looking for a bit more action, there’s plenty of that as well—from snorkeling, sailing, and kayaking to live entertainment and nightclub.
