SECRETS AURA! This is Why it's The #1 Resort in Cozumel...

I want my $2,000 back! Yes, the beach is good, the food is great & the water is gorgeous, but...

Secrets Aura is the number one best resort hotel in Cozumel, Mexico, both in popularity and luxury. How? The only way Secrets Aura is the best resort in Cozumel is if it was the only hotel on the island of Cozumel, Mexico. I just stayed at this highly touted Secrets Resort for three nights during prime-time peak season, and, well, my trip did not go as expected. I was looking forward to a luxurious and relaxing weekend at one of the most beautiful and tranquil places in the Caribbean - but my experience was something out of the Twilight Zone.

In this video, I take you along with me for my entire 72 hour stay at supposedly one of the best all-inclusive resorts in Mexico, and one of the best all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean. Every aspect of my experience is documented in stunning 4k Pro Res video, and along the way I show you all of the property, including the most exclusive areas such as my Oceanfront Suite as well as the Preferred Club Beach and Preferred Club Pool. This video will uniquely showcase one of the most beautiful all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and provide brutally authentic insights from a professional traveler that has stayed at over 60 all-inclusive resorts in less than two years.

Telling it like it is, thats why we love you!

[Chris_WD_L]

Love your video quality and realness. You’re saving people money and time with these videos. Thanks as always!!

[Krunchy]

I spit out my drink when you said "So we have the elusive lobby pool. You don't see this too often in fact its extremely rare, mainly because its nonsensical". Glad to see you're still living the good life.

[Charlie-ofjb]

It’s the cruise crowd….. Macarena at its finest… Lol
Thank you for making consistent and accurate videos!! You’re the best!! 🎉❤

[exploringwitheric]

Love it 😊 curious if you would do cruising in the future or if hotels and resorts is your sweet spot

[milani]

Love your videos so much James! We loved Secrets Cap Cana and it was very upscale and quiet. Could you please visit more Secrets properties such as Secrets Tides, Akumal, or any others? Thank you!!

[reynolvillarreal]

Great video!! Random question 😅 where did you get that black button up shirt ? Are those frenchies ?
When can you do a review on Xcaret properties including casa de la playa

[loisirene]

Gosh James. It must be disappointing to keep experiencing consistently bad stays on the island of Cozumel. Thanks for heroically forging on to give us your honest content. Glad the food and beach were good. Cheers to you enjoying your resorts going forward!

[tfatutors]

James. Hopefully you can address the OUTRAGEOUSLY HIGHLY PRICED RESORTS IN MEXICO. Its INSANE

[andyvee]

Great video once again! I hope it goes better at the Secrets the Vine in Cancun. We stayed there as preferred club guests and was a great experience.

Hi James 👋
Sorry you had an unpleasant experience, but your positive attitude is always great to see.
I stayed in the Secrets Akumal Preferred Club, and it was amazing!!
Thank you for taking the time to make such great videos!! 😎👍

[lauradubose]

James! Sadly you definitely got gypped on this property. I’d be cranky too ! Seems more geared for old, cranky folks like me 😂. Silver lining def the food, (and not that silver back at the pool ) of which your photos always look amazing. For $700 a night, you shouldn’t have to review the coffee shop more than once. My 30-something-self would’ve not been happy. The pools, though, i have to say WERE pretty fun - again for the older crowd. No gym. No nightlife. No buffet. Chilly staff. Definitely steered a lot of travelers out of harms way. Oh and the water & beach my favorite part. All the best to you! 🎉onward! PS THE INTRO MUSIC WAS 🔥

James, so many thoughts come to mind after watching this. 1. "Well I won't be going there then". 2. "Cool is having a pretty crappy time in Cozumel" 3. "Looking at that preferred pool situation I didn't realize this place is at baboon level". 4. "With all the great All Inclusives I can go to I wouldn't go here". 5. "Well I guess I'll be going back to the Iberostar Grand". And then the video ends and another one starts playing automatically. Which one was it? Your visit to the Iberostar in Cancun, LOL! Every vacation is a big "?" as far as what's going to happen. I'd say almost 1/2 of all the vacations I've ever been on go sideways at some point for some reason. The ability to turn garbage into gold is the secret but sometimes that isn't even possible. You gotta' just try your best and you do. I hope there are some points in these travels that you take a week or so and stay at one of the nicer place and just enjoy it w/o all the videos. You owe yourself that much. Looking forward to the next one.

I’ve been a sub for a few years and you have the best resort reviews ! Have you looked into Saint Lucia ?

[apatelt]

Great review. Secrets Maroma beach is still my favorite Mexican resort to the day. Amazing beach!

[martymoose]

I think the lack of foam parties just ruined it for him🤣🤣🤣

[Jennylectric]

Thank you for articulating exactly how our stays were there. We did go back but only because they had to offer us 3 free nights as recovery for how bad our first visit was. We waited almost a year to go back so they'd have time to improve. Sadly, they did not but we arrived with low expectations & made the best of it. We've been to several Secrets as UVC members & are shocked this resort is allowed to be in that group of properties. We arrived expecting the Secrets brand service & quality. You nailed it exactly regarding the NASCAR crowd-on both of our visits it was like that every night. We spent a lot of time off resort both visits because they made us uncomfortable-luckily there's a lot to see & do on the island with a rental vehicle.
Thank you for your honesty in your reviews-you helped us decide on our next resort, Secrets Royal Beach! Would love to hear your take on their properties in Huatulco if possible.

Love the siesta sign you should patent that one 😂

[divinediva]

Loving that beach!! The waters look so perfectly blue and serene!! The food really does look AWESOME...I know one thing...the dripping of the condensation from that AC unit would make me angry😡That should have been handled before anyone checked in!! James, like always, your videos are so on point and relaxing! You are phenomenal!!❤

[FebolinhoDuCeu]

This hotel has the worst comments in Tripadvisor 😞
