Reviews

Listen carefully and become the day’s first audience to Casa Secreto’s enchanting symphony; it begins with the whistle and sway of the palms above, the light bristle of empty hammocks, the bubble of the Mayan Jacuzzi, the lapping sounds of the wind’s small crests on the chilled pool and the soft crash of the sea’s waves into its fellowship with the sand. Let curiosity lead you into your “secret house”, a Mexican/Mayan style sanctuary abound with beauty. Breathtaking scenic views of the Caribbean Sea, vibrant Mexican art, hand-painted murals, unique rock walls and a sense of tranquility await you inside. Just when you think you have revealed all of Secreto’s secrets, another bend will lead you to her balconies, where true and endless beauty can be found.
