Secrets Playa Mujeres Resort and Spa

This was a wonderful experience. Uli was my contact and he was wonderful! Very helpful and always available for questions or assistance

I taught cycling in the Cycle Studio in the Gym- Dedicated cycle studio with 7 high end bikes I brought speakers and used my iPhone with Spotify. Everything made sense. I wasn’t sure what I was going to be teaching until I arrived and met with the manager, but that was no big deal. Knowing the details in advance would have been nice if possible. They remembered me and my guest every time, even the ones not involved in my classes. Super accommodating. Checked in on me every day to see if I needed anything. Thanks for offering this! We had a great time and look forward to the next one!

This is an amazing experience. Love the resort. I taught yoga on the platform by the pool. Before class I walked around and introduced myself to guests while inviting them to join class. I loved teaching on vacation!

Thank you! As always a great vacation! Love teaching and vacationing with Fit Bodies! Secrets Playa Mujeres is awesome. Taught two back to back yoga classes at 7 and 8 am Mon - Sat. Very smooth. No problems. I used my own phone and speaker for class. Yoga is held in the wedding gazebo. Plenty of time to relax and rejuvenate - a wonderful vacation.

Hotel staff were amazing. It’s a beautiful resort and such a pleasure teaching there! Very safe with covid protocols and a lot of cleaning. The guests enjoy yoga. Don’t worry about music – nature has great sounds with class outdoors!

This was my first teaching vacation, which I did August 1-8, 2021. Not knowing exactly what to expect of a teaching vacation or an all inclusive resort (this was my first time for both!) I'd have to say this exceeded my expectations. I taught at 7AM and 8AM at the Wedding Gazebo and had anywhere from 1 to 7 people for each class. My first day my one person for both classes was my husband, but after talking it up some more and posting on the resort's Facebook fan page it picked up, and I had a lot of repeats! After meeting the e-Team they were pretty hands off; I set up and put away all the mats (a beach bag is helpful for this), but the mat storage was just on the other side of the pool from the yoga area so it wasn't a big deal. If you want to use music (I opted not to) bring your own Bluetooth speaker because there isn't audio set up by the yoga area. One thing to note, the mats are very old and the ground is very unforgiving so I suggested to students to double up mats and I'd pick up a couple beach towels if people wanted that. So when planning classes I'd rethink long periods of time on the knees. As for COVID precautions, when we were there I felt VERY safe. Staff were all in masks, we weren't on top of each other at restaurants, hand sanitizer was readily available, etc. The staff keep that resort SPOTLESS. I'd definitely recommend this experience!

I taught yoga in the gazebo, poolside. I thought over all the hotel staff was very nice and welcoming and a couple of the ET guys were great and very welcoming! I really loved the property at Secrets Playa Mujeres, it's lush and spread out, which is great for me because I love to walk. The resort was not at full capacity and may have contributed to the classes having low attendance but the guests that joined were appreciative of the opportunity. It's always fun meeting new people and sharing my passion for yoga with them. Dylan and Angel on the entertainment staff are great and helped make my trip extra fun. I joined in on their water aerobics and arts and crafts activities which they really appreciated. I am already looking forward to my next trip. Travel, be safe and have fun! This was my second trip since resorts have reopened and everything worked pretty smoothly. Nothing notable. Easy to get through customs, transportation to and from resort, etc.

I taught an “all-levels friendly” yoga class at 9 am each morning. The first two mornings I only had one student, and then W-Sat I had between 3 and 12. I had several beginners/first-timers, but also many experienced yogis, ranging in age from 20s to 60s. I had lots of great feedback from students each day. It was a wonderful experience!

I taught an all levels Hatha Yoga class sometimes a flow class depending on the ability levels of the participants the time. There were consistently 20 to 30 people in the class. The ages range 35 to 55, with beginners as well as advanced practitioners. About half the class spoke French and the other spoke English, so I did the class consistently with them. The people were friendly and usually the same people were coming to class throughout the week. Mikah from the GO staff was really helpful, when we arrived he met us there and gave me a tour of the property and got us all set up in our room. I felt very comfortable and I truly enjoyed the stay. I will happily go back again.

Taught over the Halloween week. One yoga class at 9.00 AM at the wedding gazebo. Class size increased from 2 to 11. Nice beach and good food. Entertainment team were super fun. I recommend that you take bug spray as mosquitoes are often bad here. Other than that - a great resort.

Another wonderful Secrets property. Taught one class at 9am. Very well attended 15-20 yoga participants daily, gorgeous weather but it did get quite hot by 9:40-45. Definitely hot yoga by then! Resort is beautiful, the golf carts to get to gym, restaurants, and Desires were always quick to arrive. Food was great! Lots of exciting fun entertainment both at the pool in the afternoon and in the evening as well. Beach was well maintained and ocean swimmable. Great resort!

I experienced my first teaching vacation at this fabulous resort April 7-14 and enjoyed every minute! Upon arriving at the resort, I did request an upgrade, but was told they were at near capacity for the week. My husband and I were told we could check back later in the week to make another request if we would like. We ended up staying in the same room for the week. The person checking us in directed me to speak to the concierge regarding my inquiry to meet with someone from the Entertainment Team to discuss details of my responsibilities for the week teaching yoga. She seemed confused, but after a couple phone calls, she was able to connect me to Gabriel, the head of the resort's Entertainment Team. I met with Gabriel a couple hours later after my husband and I got settled in our room and got a bite to eat. He talked to me briefly about teaching yoga, showed me where the yoga mats were, and answered my questions about my responsibilities. He told me to teach my class daily at 9am and said I could decide how long to teach the class. The first day I taught a 60 minute class. Subsequent days, I taught 45 minutes because I felt 60 min got a little too long. I had 10-20 people daily, often the same people attending my class every morning. The students' abilities varied quite a bit, so you have to be comfortable providing a lot of cueing and adjusting your class and offering modifications. The students were so pleasant to teach! Many approached me and complemented me on my class which was so nice. We had a few days in which it was extremely windy, which posed a challenge keeping the yoga mats and towels in place, but everyone tolerated this. The ocean backdrop was gorgeous! I usually went down to the location where I was teaching yoga about 30 minutes before the start of class. My hubby attended my classes and helped me every morning to gather all the yoga mats and towels to bring to the area. I always asked the bartender for 6 or so bottles of water to have on hand to offer people who didn't bring their own. After class, my husband and I brought the yoga mats back to storage and I asked the students to kindly dispose of their water bottles and towels. One morning a person from the Entertainment team helped me return the mats. The resort was lovely! I enjoy the beach the most and it was gorgeous. We never had trouble finding a beach chair. Bar service at the beach was great. By very early morning, all the pool chairs were "reserved" by people playing the towel game. This is very common at resorts like this and is annoying, in my opinion, but I wasn't surprised. We enjoyed the food at all the restaurants and the service was always spectacular. We noticed that not many people tipped here, but we always bring over $100 worth of 5's and 1's to tip the maid, bartenders, waiters, bell-staff, etc... The employees work so hard and deserve the tips. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience for my first teaching vacation! I can't wait to do another, and, although I want to check out other resorts/countries, I wouldn't hesitate to return to Secrets Playa Mujeres!
