Cooking classes at Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun are a great way to bring a new skill back home with you after vacation is over!

According to Alex, finding the right staff is the key toward creating exceptional guest experiences at Secrets Maroma. He says he prefers to focus more on the personality of potential Entertainment Team members rather than their experience, choosing people who truly love what they do, always have a genuine smile on their face, project confidence and will create connections with guests.

Another challenge is selecting the right live show productions, for which we love to listen to people’s comments to make sure we keep the shows they love and change the ones that aren’t as popular.

Celebrating Cinco de Mayo at Secrets Silversands

If there’s one thing we know how to do at Secrets Silversands Riviera Cancun, it’s how to throw a good party! We had so much fun celebrating Cinco de Mayo with our guests yesterday! The festivities and themed activities started first thing in the morning and ended well after the sun went down.

Throughout the day, we hosted a Mexican lottery game, balloon darts, pin the tail on the donkey, tequila tasting and even a class on how to make our famous guacamole!

As the sun went down, we hosted a fantastic Mexican buffet with traditional dishes, flavored margaritas and of course more tequila! Guests enjoyed live Mariachi music, along with an exciting Mexican show performed by our Entertainment Team.

Take a look at some of the pictures from Cinco de Mayo!

Secrets Silversands Celebrates National Margarita Day

In honor of National Margarita Day on February 22nd, Secrets Silversands Riviera Cancun hosted an interactive Margarita lesson for our guests. We started the lesson by telling the story of how the Margarita was invented. Legend has it that a socialite named Margarita came up with the tasty cocktail during a cliffside party in Acapulco in 1948.

During our lesson, we made taught our guests how to make Tamarind Margaritas and Guava and Cucumber Margaritas! Both versions were very different, yet equally refreshing and delicious. Take a look at some of the pictures from the event:
