Hi Jessica,We are heading to Secrets Maroma on September 28th,can't wait,virtually every review is fantastic & I really enjoyed your review,good detail,especially when you put texts up naming the food you are eating,very helpful,We have opted for the preferred club too & are super excited even though it's a 10 hour flight from our home in Scotland,I'm sure it's worth it! Thanks again! 😊😊😊
Yay!!!! This makes me so happy! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the video and thank you for not only watching but taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. You are going to absolutely love this resort. I'm a tough critic and I can't think of one single negative thing to say about it. Everything that I mention in the video is 100% true and I can't wait to get back there again soon. I promise that the 10 hour flight will be worth it. Safe travels and have THE BEST time!
Jessica, I enjoy your videos so much. The music, your voice tone, the shooting of your videos are relaxing, informative and beautiful. I wish you much, much success. Thank you
Hi, this was by far the best video I’ve watched on Cancun this resort. We stayed here last August we loved it so much we’re going back this August this time for a longer stay. Everything you said was spot on n I agreed with everything you said. Sorry you were not able to be out on the water. Thanks for sharing ! We can’t wait for our journey
Thank you Jessica for this video but also for the inspiration your channel brings. This vacay is going to my bucket list. I dont know when but it will happen one day. Merci !
Jessica in the short time that i've discovered your channel, I'm addicted! and always look forward to Sunday! I thought i wasn't going to make it till May 26th it took forever 😂
Im never disappointed and am ALWAYS smiling as i watch!! Happy Belated Birthday Mark!!
Awwww you are too kind - thank you!!!!! This comment really means a lot to me and I'm very thankful that you took the time to let me know. It means everything to me that you are enjoying the channel. I have so much fun each week putting them together and to know you having just as much fun on the other side of the screen - is truly all I could ask for. We have an action-packed summer coming up - so buckle up and enjoy the ride!!!
@@jessicapayne 💃I'm dancing in my seat, i can't wait!!
What an absolutely wonderful way to celebrate you birthday 🥳-looks like you and Mark really enjoyed your time:). Happy Belated Birthday 🎉, Mark!💖✨🙏🏾💯
We really had the best time. From the moment we arrived, we felt relaxed and very well taken care of. I can't say enough amazing things about this resort. Mark had an amazing time and now I've been sending him some not so subtle hints on where I would like to go for my birthday in October, lol!!!!
Very awesome , thanks for making and sharing your video. Headed there in the fall , will be our 2nd trip there and we loved it also.
You are so welcome and thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. I can absolutely see why you are going back for a second time - it really is wonderful and worth every single cent. We will be back for sure - and I'm already excited to see the staff again....and get some more of that delicious sushi. Have the best time and again thank you for watching!!!
What a great vlog really enjoyed it , we went there in 2015 and are going secrets moxche in 3 weeks . Really interesting film showing things we want to see !!
haha The start of this video is the best line and should be an everyday moto for life. lol
Right?!!!! I definitely agree! Thank you so much for watching. We had the best time at this resort!
I have been going to Secrets Maroma since 2013 and have known Roger since then. He has always been my concierge. He is absolutely the best!!! Going back in November for my 9th visit! I cannot go elsewhere. Thanks for your great review!
This birthday celebration was amazing. Happy birthday Mark!
The resort was beautiful. But Jessica, you stole the show. You were absolutely beautiful. Your outfits
were to die for. Just seeing you and Mark relaxed and having fun was enough for me.
Awwww thank you!!! I really did love my outfits and so many people have commented on them that I feel I need to make a "what I wore in Mexico" video, lol!!!! Thanks so much for watching as always and thank you for the birthday wishes to Mark!
Great review. Thanks Jessica!
Thank you , for your beautiful video !!!
I love those floaties too!
Aren’t they the best?!! We use them all the time!!! Thank you so much for watching!!! 😆
This was a great vlog! I really enjoyed living vicariously through you guys for a moment. The resort looked amazing. Thanks for sharing! Happy Birthday Mark!!🎂🎉🎈
The resort was everything - I literally have not one single complaint, and that is rare! I would recommend it to anyone and I'll for sure be going back. Thank you so much for watching and the birthday wishes for Mark - it makes me happy knowing you enjoyed it!
Yay to an hour and half video! What an awesome resort and bday vacay. I’ve been to most of the Mexican vacation spots and now Playa del Carmen is next on my list.
Hahaha! We had so much fun that I just couldn't figure out what to cut out - so I decided to keep everything and let you guys decide if you wanted to fast forward through anything. Knowing that you love the length of the video just makes me so happy!!!! And yes, definitely add Playa del Carmen to your list!!
Happy Birthday Mark!!!! 🎈🎈🎈🎈And Thanks Ms Jessica For Taking Us To Mexico With You And Mark
It was my pleasure!!!! Now how do I turn back time so we can do it all again?!!
Hi Nancyivy2358- thanks for watching and thus joining us on our trip!
Happy birthday, Mark! This was an awesome birthday celebration. Thanks Jessica, for allowing us to come along, too. I enjoyed every minute of your video.
I'm so happy - thank you so much for watching. It was fun bringing you guys along - I love that you enjoyed it!!!
Thank you so much for this fabulous review! My husband and I arrive at Secrets Maroma on Thursday and we are so excited.
You are so welcome and thank you for watching!!! You are going to absolutely love it. Once you get back home, please come back and tell me what you thought! Have the best time!!!
Happy birthday to Mark. Y'all celebrated well. What a beautiful resort. A swim up is life. Loved the outfits, especially that blue top. Another great video!😊
Thank you Robin!!! It was such a great time and i so wished that I captured each full outfit in the video - but that just means i need to put them all again and maybe do a what I wore to Mexico short video! 😆
Thank you, Robin! My birthday was excellent! Now we need to figure out what to do for Jessica's birthday which isn't until the Fall.
That was one of the best travel videos I have ever seen. From the editing to the views to the commentary, it was absolutely amazing. thank you. We have been to Playa three times in the past two years, all three times we have been at the Hilton Playa Del Carmen, but after watching this video, I think we need to do something different.
Oh my goodness - seriously?! ☺️ Thank you so much for that compliment, I truly appreciate you not only watching but taking the time to comment. I really do enjoy curating these videos in a way that I would want to see them if I were planning to visit that destination. You noticing the hard work and thought behind every moment of this trip means so much. Like I mentioned in the video, I was nervous about trying a new resort - but TRUST ME, you will ABSOLUTELY love it here! 😆
Absolutely fabulous. Happy Birthday Mark. This video was amazing and informative. I had to share it with my husband. The resort intrigued me. Thanks for sharing. Again, it was fabulous 🎉😊
Yay!!! Thank you so much for watching and enjoying the video. We had the best time and the resort was everything that I needed AND MORE! It was worth every single penny and I honestly can't wait to go back!!!
JESSICA/MARK!( Happy Birthday Mark)...this trip is as amazing as all the rest! Jessica...I ain't mad about the black beans my sista! LOL And I need a few of those dresses you were sporting! that hotel though was one of the best I've seen and I can say I have seen a couple...The attention to detail is what had me...and it looked sooooo clean! your detail of all the activities is always fun and you never stop smiling! LOL another home run...
Oh my goodness - when I get to Mexico black beans are the other thing I want to eat. They are just so good and no matter where you go here in the states, they never taste like that!!!! So so good!!!! And thank you for the compliment - I really loved everything I wore. I spent a lot of time researching items that I loved, were comfortable, and that I would feel confident in. I can't wait to wear them all again!
@@jessicapayne Elease aka Gabrielle said she was waiting for you to share where you had shopped! But those outfits for sure were savvy! Where's the next trip????
Great video. Do you have anymore video of this resort that you could share. Thanks
Beautiful resort vacay guys. Happy be-lated birthday Marc! 🎂
Thank you!!! It really was so much fun. Already thinking how I can get back there very soon, lol!!!
Wow this really is a paradise! Everything is beautiful, laid back.. and I'm so happy for you and the hubby. Thanks for sharing😊
It truly was! The moment we arrived, I just felt so relaxed and pampered. I honestly can't wait to go back. Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you sooo much for such a thorough review. Also, I LOVE your style. Ive already ordered the color block swimsuit you wore on the cenote tour!
Yay!!!! That was my favorite suit because it was so colorful. I received tons of compliments on it and people were asking where I got it from. I hope you love it once you receive it. And thank you for the lovely compliment - I truly appreciate it!!!
It definitely sounds like something we would LOVE!!!
Whoa!!!! If I must say so myself, your outfits were gorgeous!!!!! You looked amazing!! The trip alone was beyond awesome but your outfits took it!!!
Seeing this place makes me want to go NOW! Sorry about your excursion but it looks like a fabulous time!
Awwww thank you!!! I really spent a lot of time trying to find things that I loved, were comfortable, and that I felt good in. I wanted things that were easy and breezy - and every evening I would be excited to put on something new. So happy that you loved everything. You and Dad have to go to this resort. I know we love Fiesta - but I think you both will be VERY happy here!!!
Beautiful video!! Happy Birthday to Mark!! Thanks For Sharing.
Thank you so much for watching and for the birthday wishes!!! I so wish we could turn back time and do it all again!
Thank you! And thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you for taking us along on Mark’s birthday celebration ❤…
The resort was FAB…❤
It truly was!!! I don’t have 1 complaint - not 1!!! So happy that you enjoyed coming along with us! 😁
Ok, I’m sold! I need to come to this resort. I have always enjoyed other resorts in Cancun but never been to Playa Del Carmen. I really can’t wait. I think the Italian and Asian restaurant will be my favorites as well 😂. Outfits were on point. Resort wear looks good on you.
Thank youuuuu!!!! You will absolutely love this resort and the next time I go - you'll be right with me! Knowing you - you'll be at the sushi spot every single night, lol! Honestly don't go there your first night - it will ruin you for all the others!
Hello my beautiful friend, well another in the books more memories for the chest ❤ it’s always such a pleasure to travel with you guys you bring to us so well it’s almost like really being there I just love that all the outfits came out so so beautiful & classy love the straw hat all your choices were well made and that hot pink suit is just fab on you ❤️ enjoyed it all welcome back keep living beautiful 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿💕💕💕
Hi love! I've missed you and hope you are doing well. I'm so glad that you enjoyed the video....and my outfits. I've said this a few times but I think I need to make a "this is what I wore to Mexico" short video. I wish I would have filmed a head to toe look each night - but I just didn't think of it. Now I'm regretting it - but we have a lot more summer to go! I received a lot of compliments on the hat and I'm thinking H&M should give me a huge discount because I'm sure they received MANY orders for that hat just from the people at the beach and the pool asking me about it, lol!!!
Hi Jessica, I just discovered your channel!, and subscribed…and have been binge watching all of them. You have such a pleasant voice and love the way you have curated your home. Love the straw hat you wore on your vacation to Mexico, to celebrate your husband birthday and the floral dress as well. But couldn’t see much of it. I know it wasn’t about the outfit of the day. Just wanted to know where you purchased. Love your channel and the way you celebrate life!❤🤩✨
I agree about the Mexican breakfast buffets. I love them. Seeing this video makes me want to go back to Mexico but to an adult resort with a butler!! Oh and that bathing suit with the big flower 😍😍😍
Hahahaha - heavy on an adult resort with a butler. It made all the difference and I will go back with you ANY. TIME. And thank you for the big flower bathing suit love. As you know, Mark wasn't into it - but all the girlies at the resort loved it and that was all the confirmation I needed, lol!!!!
WOW, what a beautiful and amazing resort. That’s a place I could truly enjoy even if I didn’t get the upgrade package.
We debated the value of the upgrade package. For example, there is a Preferred Bar, where they have higher-grade liquors. We went in to that bar upon our arrival, but we never went back. We could have, perhaps should have, but there were so many other things to do and places to go. I think you could do just fine without the Preferred, but I have to say it was awfully nice having our own beach area and having people who find us lounge chairs and having a separate restaurant for when you don't want to sit and eat with the 'common folks' lol. I think we decided that you should check on the pricing of the Preferred package and if you can swing it financially, just do it. It's a treat.
Completely agree with what Mark said. It was a special treat for sure, and we really loved the added attention and little treats - but honestly, if you didn't purchase the upgrade, you would have just as good of a time as we did! You guys HAVE to go!
She looks so happy I can’t wait to go here
Awwwww this is the best comment!!!! I’m happiest when I’m in or near water! 🌊🏝️☀️
@@jessicapayne same here! My wife and I search every week for new Maroma videos and your video is by far the best!! Mark is my kind of guy lol
@murf04 what????? 😆 On my goodness - thank you so much!! That makes me so happy to hear!!!
That looks like a tremendous fun, fun…❤❤❤
What a great informative video. Loved it. We are due to stay here end of October and now I can't wait :D I'm glad you had such a wonderful trip for Mark's birthday.
You both look great!!! 🎉Feliz Cumpleaños, Mark! 🎁 🥳 🎂
Salud 🥂
Thank youuuuuu! 🥰😘
Muchas gracias, BabyRQ!
Going back for the 2nd time in July. We have also been to secrets playa mujeres. We are Hyatt people so nice to book secrets with Hyatt points for great redemptions.
Can’t wait to watch we missed you girl!! Def want to get outfit inspo for my trip in June!!
Thank you!!!!! Let me know if you need some more ideas - it was so much fun shopping and finding the perfect outfits for this trip. I've linked everything, but happy to do some more researching if you need it!
I just found your video and I absolutely enjoyed it
Yay that makes me so happy - I’m so glad that you found me, welcome the channel. 😆 We had the best time and I love that you enjoyed following us along!
I enjoyed having a great time with y’all
Awwww thank you!!!! We had so much fun and I love that you guys were able to “come with us” 😆
Beautiful place!!! Thank you for your gorgeous videos!!!
Thank you so much for watching - it makes me so happy that you enjoyed it. It truly was a gorgeous place and I would recommend it to anyone. It's absolutely lovely!
Beautiful video first time on your page.
I just subscribed 😊
Hi Jessica. Welcome back. Pray you’re re feeling better. Love the glasses you’re wearing. Who’s it by.
Thank youuuu! I'm feeling so much better - thank goodness. The glasses are from Amazon and it looks like they are currently out of stock, but I've linked them in the description box to this video so that you can keep checking back for them!!
Happy Birthday Mr Mark…❤
He said - thank youuuu!!!!!
Where did you get your good vibes and cocktails hat? It's super cute! And, I just booked this resort this evening! Thanks for the great vlog! 😊
Hello. This was a wonderful video. Thank you for sharing. ☺
And thank YOU for watching! I know it was a long one, but we just had so much fun that I couldn't leave anything out! :)
Amazing!
Thank you so much for watching - I really do appreciate it! We had such a great time - if only I could turn back time.
Happy birthday queen
Thank you!!! This was actually for Mark's birthday - but let's just say he has some big shoes to fill for my birthday in a few months, lol!!! I've already been putting out some not so subtle hints!!!
Great video, How does this compare to your visit to Iberostar Grand in punta cana? Thanks
Wow, 😂I don’t know about your two friends❤❤❤.
Where did you get the bathing suit with the white flower. It’s fabulous!
Thank you!!!!! Believe or not, it’s from Amazon! I’ve linked it in the description box for you! 😆
You have inspired me; I'm trying to book for August. Did you use a travel agent. How long did it take to get to the hotel from the airport
Hey Jessica! I just watched this entire video! You just gained a new follower! Your content is extremely engaging and wonderful to watch! I have planned this vacation based on your review! I have planned for September of this year! I am super excited! Thank you for your content! The editing was great, and I loved all your song choices! You and Mark made everything you ate look FANTASTIC and appetizing! THANK YOU! I wanted to know if I have booked the room already is there a way to upgrade to preferred status? Thank you in advance! Kindly, Veronica
Hi Veronica!!!! First of all thank you so much for watching, for subscribing, and for this amazing comment. I truly appreciate it and I'm so happy that you found me! And what?!!! You booked this resort because of my video - that makes me the happiest. I promise you are going to love it! We've been to many resorts before, and this one (for us) is our favorite. I would go back again and again! Yes - you can absolutely upgrade once you get there. When you check in they'll offer that to you and will also offer you upgraded rooms (at a cost of course) upon availability. But like I said in the video. Even if you don't get the preferred status, you will still have the best time. If you like sushi please do not skip the Asian restaurant - when we go back I may just go there every single day - it was that good. And the Italian restaurant was my next favorite. But truly everything there is top notch and I'm so excited that you get to experience it. Once you get back, please let me know how you enjoyed it - I can't wait to hear all about it! Enjoy and THANK YOU again!
I Love your Straw hat❤…
Thank you!!!! It was super cheap from H&M!!!
Was the firepit area for everyone or only preferred guests?
Nice resort, I am so afraid of iguanas, was any there?
Edit: I saw them in the video…..OK👀👀👀👀
Y’all look so NICE!!!
There were several walking around the resort - but they could have cared less about any of the people there. They were just out living their lives, hoping that a french fry would fall on the ground from time to time. If one would have approached me, trust and believe you guys would have gotten a full show of me completely losing my mind, lol!!!!
@@jessicapayne lololololol!!!!
Hi Jessica! Great video! I was wondering what website you used to book your vacation?
Hello!!! Thank you so much! 🥰 I actually booked it on Expedia! I had some points to use there so I thought this was the perfect trip to use them on.
Thank you so much! I’m trying to book that resort for our seven year anniversary in July. Looks beautiful!
@JC-yz4ki yay!!!!! You are going to absolutely love it. The perfect resort for your anniversary!
When you go to the restaurants do you pay for those meals or is it apart of the all inclusive? And if it’s part of the all inclusive are you limited to how much you can order? I’m going in September for my honeymoon and I’ve never been out of the country so I don’t know what to expect!
I got us the preferred swim up also so this video was awesome
Looking to come in October…how are the mosquitoes?
Mosquitoes looooooooove me! Out of a crowd of 1000 people, they will only be attracted to me and I just don't understand, lol!!! With that, I didn't get bit once during my entire time there. And going in October will be fabulous as it will be a bit "cooler". You are going to have the best time - I honestly can't wait to go back!
Hi Jessica! I had another quick question for you if you don’t mind answering. Did you feel that the perks for the preferred club are worth it there? It’s about $1000 difference and I know some resorts don’t have as many perks for it
I say this in the video and truly mean it - without the preferred you will have a wonderful time and treated no differently. The staff is A1 and so kind and helpful. But if you want to feel even more special and have access to the private beach club, the beach, a butler, and top shelf beverages, then it’s definitely worth the splurge!
This is a tough question and I am conflicted. It really was nice to have, but we did not take advantage of all that we could have. For example, the Preferred breakfast area had good food and great service and was a real treat but you were selecting from a menu. This was not terribly difficult as they had good options, but I admit the very large buffet where the 'regular people' eat was attractive in that you got to see a large variety of food options that you might not get to sample if you had ordered from the menu. It really was nice to have a room closest to the beach and pool, and you really do feel special having the Preferred upgrade. You'd still have a great time without the Preferred. If you really measured the cost vs. what you get, the Preferred is probably not super cost-effective, but it's a treat.
