Why travelers love it
“Adults-only Riviera Nayarit hideaway with rooftop infinity pools and Banderas Bay views”
This adults-only Secrets sits on Banderas Bay just north of Punta de Mita, with a rooftop infinity pool, a strong spa, and seven a la carte restaurants that consistently earn praise. The catch: it shares grounds and some areas with the family-focused Dreams Bahia Mita next door, so it doesn't feel as quiet or as fully adults-only as some couples expect — and frequent weddings can mean late-night noise.
Food & drink
StandoutDining is a genuine highlight, with Bordeaux (French) and Blue Water Grill drawing repeat praise and enough à la carte venues that reservations rarely bottleneck.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Bordeaux French is a standout
- Blue Water Grill highly praised
- Wide variety across restaurants
- No long waits for tables
Heads up
- Buffet selection called limited by some
- Included wine quality underwhelms
Dining overview

Beach
MixedThe beach is the resort's weak link: short, rocky in the water, and small enough that no adults-only stretch exists. Great if you surf, frustrating if you came to swim.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Good waves for surfing
- Free water shoes provided
- Beach massages and cold-towel service
- Saltwater beach pool is a favorite
Heads up
- Very rocky entry into the water
- Short, narrow strip of sand
- No adults-only beach section
A modest stretch of golden sand fronts the resort on Banderas Bay, with views toward the Marietas Islands. The water is swimmable but rocky underfoot in places, and the resort hands out complimentary water shoes to help. Beach access is shared with the adjacent Dreams property, so there's no dedicated adults-only beach zone.

Pools
StandoutThe pool scene is the headline attraction: multiple infinity pools stacked up the tower, a calm 6th-floor swim channel, and attentive pool concierges with drink service.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Rooftop infinity pools with bay views
- Preferred pool with food and drink service
- 6th-floor swim channel and swim-up bar
- Attentive pool concierges (Leo, Vanessa, Efrain)
Heads up
- Dark pool floors look murky to some
- Occasional early closures reported
Six pools including infinity pools, water decks, and a unique rooftop pool with stunning views. The resort also has two outdoor hot tubs.

- Food quality above typical all-inclusive
- Impeccable service across venues
- Weddings deliver strong ROI
Heads up
- Base rooms feel light on luxury touches (no tubs)

Amenities & activities
Couples
Good fitRomantic in the restaurants, spa, and rooftop bars, but the shared-with-Dreams layout means you'll encounter kids outside the adults-only pools, which surprises some honeymooners.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Rooftop Sky Bar with Banderas Bay views
- Butler service on Preferred upgrade
- Popular for weddings and anniversaries
- Spa-like, relaxing atmosphere
Heads up
- Not all rooms have bathtubs
- Panoramic view rooms can face interior
- Shared courtyard with family side
Families
Not a fitAdults-only branding: no children stay on the Secrets side, though the connected Dreams tower makes it a viable pick if you want the family to split adult and kid experiences on one property.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Connected Dreams resort welcomes kids
- Shared pools and courtyard between sides
Heads up
- Secrets side itself is 18+ only
- Adult guests may prefer the Dreams tower for families
Peace & Quiet
MixedBilled as a spa-like retreat and mostly delivers on the rooftop pools, but nightly weddings, courtyard events, and thin room insulation can push noise past 11pm.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Rooftop 8th-floor pools calm with big views
- 6th-floor swim channel peaceful
- Spa-forward daytime vibe
Heads up
- Weddings and events in courtyard
- Music some nights until 11pm

Know before you book

- thin walls and poor sound insulation between rooms
- rocky entry at the beach
What you should know
What to Know
Come prepared for a timeshare-style welcome pitch, a maze-like tower layout, and the reality that this Secrets shares courtyards and some pools with the Dreams next door.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Preferred Club upgrade meaningfully improves stay
- Book experiences on-property, not via Hyatt online
- Free water shoes offered for rocky entry
Heads up
- Repeated welcome/timeshare approaches on arrival
- Confusing layout requiring multiple elevators
- Shared spaces with family-friendly Dreams
- Pet fees charged despite service-dog documentation
- Panoramic view rooms often face interior
WATCH OUT: Seasonal heads-up
- Rainy season runs June through October with afternoon thunderstorms
- Hurricane risk on the Pacific coast peaks August through October
- Whale watching season is December through March in Banderas Bay
Plan on roughly a 45-minute transfer from Puerto Vallarta airport (PVR). Tipping isn't required but is appreciated by service staff. If you book Preferred Club, confirm at booking that you'll be checked in at the Preferred lounge — some guests report being processed at the main lobby and missing the welcome experience. Wait until you arrive to book spa treatments and excursions, as on-site discounts are often better than pre-booking through Hyatt online.
Good to know
- Shares grounds and some common areas with the family-friendly Dreams Bahia Mita, so it doesn't feel fully adults-only
- Beach is small and rocky in spots — free water shoes are provided
- Very popular for destination weddings, which can mean late-night music in courtyards and hallways
- Preferred Club rooftop infinity pool is a major draw if you upgrade
- Bring or request reusable water bottles if you want to avoid the daily plastic bottle deliveries
