Options we've narrowed down (all 21k/night for the base room, don't think the upgraded rooms are worth it for a 2 night stay):
- Secrets Playa Mujeres: Literally right next door, but seems to be a bit of a step down from some other Secrets and a lot of the amenities are over at Dreams (we prefer adults-only)
- Secrets The Vine: Not opposed to it, but generally prefer more 'sprawling' resorts vs the towers throughout Cancun
- Secrets Riviera Cancun: Biggest pros are that the standard room is a Preferred Club and get full access to Breathless next door if we want to have more of a party atmosphere, then can come back to the more tranquil Secrets
- Secrets Moxche: Looks fantastic and I like the jungly theme, but would be another 80 minutes additional travel time compared to just staying at PM (the other options are only 15-20 minutes more)
Zoetry is likely out as it seems a little too calm for us (we like a nice mix of light partying and relax)
we stayed at a dreams, a secrets, and a Hilton this trip. Hands down the Secrets Moxché was the best of the 3. Dreams was decent but overrun with kids and the Hilton Tapestry in PDC, so probably not a good comparison since the tapestry is a boutique AI.
being the Moxché was new, I think everything appeared to be in order, the restaurants were decent for an AI with outdoor seating at all restaurants (if that’s your thing). The lagoon pool, the lap pool, and the infinity pools were amazing and the 3 cenotes “hot tubs” were nice as well. If you get preferred club, the roof top infinity pool has spectacular views and decent food. There is definitely a mix of everything to offer at Moxché including nightly entertainment of shows in their indoor theatre. The bar/nightclub is a decent place to hang out every night though if you are a light sleeper, ask for a room not right in the vicinity of the two-story “club”. It’s spread out enough that you won’t feel to cluttered even though the buildings are 7-8 stories tall.
having said that, I probably won’t go to Moxché (or PDC) from Playa Mujeres for 2 nights only. It’s quite a drive from Cancun. We did 3 nights at dreams and 3 nights at Moxché (for the current 3 night AI rebate) and 2 nights in PDC.
