Beach, spa and tequila

Jane's verdict

Even when Carrie Bradshaw was jilted at the altar and had to honeymoon in Mexico with the girls, she still managed to enjoy herself. Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun is a four-star-priced all-inclusive where you’ll be treated like five-star honeymooners. Book a four-poster ocean view room and let married life begin!

Mexico’s Riviera Maya, on the Yucatan Peninsular, boasts some of the world’s finest white sand beaches coupled by its proximity to fascinating ancient Mayan ruins such as the impressive Chichén Itzá.

Our top pick for a romantic, great value and luxurious honeymoon is the Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancún. It’s for adults only too, so there are no children to disturb you.

It is ideally located approximately 30 miles south of Cancun and is set on 500 acres, surrounded by vibrant coral reefs and soft white sand.

All of the accommodation is in suites, most of them with an uninterrupted ocean view. All have a four poster king or 2 queen beds and jacuzzis for two. Some even have a swim-up pool right outside the private terrace.

The all-inclusive rates include dining at a choice of seven outstanding restaurants, from seafood specialities to a la carte Mexican cuisine which is a million miles away from the nachos and tacos you might expect. Premium brand drinks and cocktails and wine are also included.

There’s a Secrets Spa for some added indulgence and an open-air theatre with evening entertainment if you tire of gazing at the stars on the beach.

Non-motorised water sports are also included in the price and there are tennis courts with free technique clinics.
