Secrets The Vine Cancun Reviews: Beach

One of the highlights of a visit to Cancun is the warm weather and being able to bask in the sun on a beautiful beach. As this resort is located in the Hotel Zone, there isn’t a huge amount of space in front of it along the beach. 

That said, the resort is located directly on the beach, where rows of loungers are laid out overlooking the sea, and it is lovely. However, Secrets The Vine Cancun reviews noted that since this is a public beach, vendors can be annoying.
