Enjoy a Resort Day Pass at Secrets The Vine Cancun

One of the beauties (and relatively unknown) benefits of low-season travel is that resorts aren’t as busy as they are in peak season and they make products such as Resort Day Passes available. A Day Pass offers access to a resort’s swimming pools, lounge areas, restaurants and bars for a specified period of time. This means you can experience all the luxury of an all-inclusive five-star resort without committing to a full week or staying overnight.

Exploring a property on Resort Day Pass is perfect for planning a future vacation or celebrating a major life event such as an anniversary, birthday, honeymoon or wedding. They’re also handy if you have a long layover  at an airport and want to relax in luxury (instead of an uncomfortable airport lounge chair).

If you’re travelling through Cancun, a top choice  for a Resort Day Pass is adults-only Secrets The Vine Cancun Resort & Spa , one of the swankiest hotels in Cancun and home to the Unlimited Luxury vacation concept. Here’s what you need to know:

Secrets The Vine Cancun overlooks the Caribbean Sea on one of the nicest and safest swimming beaches in Cancun (watch for the red flag which signifies dangerous swimming conditions).  It also offers three infinity pools, curtained Bali beds, beach hammocks, beach loungers, outdoor showers and change rooms  and spacious pool lounge areas. The resort is adults-only and draws an upscale, mature crowd rather than rowdy Spring Breakers.

When it comes to dining, you can choose from six á la carte gourmet restaurants, a buffet and a café – reservations are never required and there isn’t usually a wait, except occasionally at breakfast. For Italian Cuisine, try Nebbiolo Ristorante (open in the evening) or for beachfront dining during the day,  the Sea Salt Grill is ideal for seafood ( don’t miss the calamari and ceviche). The Lobby Bar and beachfront bars offer all-inclusive premium drinks, beer, wine and virtually any cocktail you can dream up.

Cost of a Luxury Resort Day Pass at Secrets The Vine Cancun

Here are the costs for a Resort Day, Night or Full Day Pass as at May 15, 2017:

• Day Pass:  $120 usd per person, from 9 am until 5 pm.
• Night Pass: $150 usd per person, from 5 pm until 1 am after midnight.
• Full day: $180 usd per person, from 9 am until 1 am after midnight.

Although at first glance this might seem pricey and you might be tempted to think you’d be better off getting a hotel room for the night, you need to factor in check-in and check-out times as well as costs elsewhere (bottle of water $3.00, glass of  wine $9.00, cocktails $10.00 each, snacks, a couple of gourmet meals $25-$75, coffee/tea, appetizers, poolside fitness classes and pool towel service) and then it starts to make sense. Of course, if you’re likely to sip only water all day, it probably isn’t as worthwhile unless you really, really want to lounge in luxurious comfort.

Note: The above prices don’t include a guest room and, when occupancy is above 85%, they limit the number of day passes available. It also does not include tips, other services such as access to Pevonia Spa,  the Preferred Club area or all wines in the wine cellar. Prices can be changed at any time so check before you visit.
