As soon as our mini bus from the airport stopped at Secrets Silversands Riviera Cancun, my husband and I knew we were in for a treat. We arrived at this beautiful resort with its contemporary design about 5:30 pm to be greeted by a charismatic doorman waiting for us with a welcome greeting, a cold towel, and a glass of champagne. Our luggage was whisked aside with the bellhop guarding it, waiting for us to get our room key. Check in was fast and uncomplicated. My husband’s previous phone call to the resort resulted in us getting the anniversary package. We were ushered to our ocean view suite located on the 4th floor. We walked into our modern, luxurious room to find red rose petals sprinkled on the ledge of the Jacuzzi tub and the small lit ledge which divided the bed and the sitting area.
The room was large and spacious with a suspended king-size bed, and a good sized sitting area with a large sprawling couch.
The tiny round table for two had a pretty arrangement for fresh flowers.
A relaxing video was playing on the 32-inch satellite TV to set the mood – relax and enjoy! The bathroom had a sliding door which can be opened to view the ocean while one relaxes in the large Jacuzzi tub for two.
In addition, the lovely tiled shower is also designed for two and there is still room for more!
The double sinks with the granite counter also add to the luxury and convenience for the couple staying in the room.
The private balcony is furnished with comfortable lounging furniture placed around a table.
There is also a Secrets box for private room service delivery!

She offered to lend hers to me for the week claiming that she did not use it.
