Secrets Aura Cozumel All Inclusive - Review 2025

What to Do

Secrets Aura Cozumel has plenty of activities for every couple, whether you want a relaxing vacation on the beach, heading out for a snorkel from your paddle board or kayak, joining a party at the pool, or scuba diving in coral reefs.

You can choose how active or how relaxing your vacation should be. Activities that are available with your stay include tennis, paddle boarding, kayaking, water volleyball, baby turtle observations, fishing, water aerobics, a fitness center, bike tours, a game room, tequila tastings, Mexican bingo, karaoke, mojito-making classes, Mayan dinner, and fire dancing on the beach to name a few. In addition to all the fun activities you can have during the day, they also have live nightly entertainment, live musical performances, themed nights, and beach parties.

Cozumel’s highlight is exploring the world’s second-largest coral reef system, the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System. Secrets Aura Cozumel helps you to do that with scuba lessons and an onsite PADI dive center. For those nervous about diving, you can also snorkel right off the beach, where you can see numerous colorful fishes. For those who can’t get enough water, there are also three pools; an infinity pool, a Lazy river, an outdoor hot tub, and a swim-up bar pool.

The relaxing side of your stay could include an appointment at the Secrets Spa by Pevonia. The spa is located right next door at Sunscape Sabor Cozumel. Spa and beauty treatments, massages, body wraps, facials, and a hydrotherapy circuit are available for an additional fee.

Guests that upgrade to the Preferred Club have amenities and activities. Preferred Club guests get personalized check-in and check-out, personal concierge service, and access to a private Preferred Club poole with swim-up bar. There are complaints that the pool needs some repair and the atmosphere is not the most fun.  In the Preferred Club lounge and bar throughout the day, you can enjoy continental breakfast service, afternoon hot and cold hors d’oeuvres, specialty desserts, and premium liquors.

What to Eat & Drink

Secrets Aura Cozumel Adults Only All-Inclusive has Mexican, Caribbean, and international cuisine, with a big focus on American food.

Breakfast options begin at 7 am with your choices at Coco Café to get your coffee fix and the Market Café.
