About this property

Secret Beach Fish Villa - on Beach - Private Pool - Owner is a Chef - Very Safe!


The Secret Beach Fish Villa has long been a favorite of the Mayan Riviera and for some good reasons.

Located in a Very Small Safe Gated (Guard 24/7) Residential Community of High-End Villas - no crowds - very private. Close to all the local attractions but tucked away on the Mayan Riviera's Secret Beach (Playa del Secreto) is known as the nicest beach along the Mayan Riviera that our Staff rakes daily. We are also a Turtle Nest Sanctuary. Nice time to come is during the Turtle season.

Chef Miguel and Private Cooking Class: Chef Miguel will come to your vacation villa and teach you the in and outs of some of the popular Mayan Dishes along with hands on training... be prepared to be involved with the food preparation as Miguel’s Suez Chefs or grab a stool with a margarita or a cerveza and just watch. It’s a fun and festive afternoon preparing a Mayan dinner along with insights to both Mexican/Mayan Ingredients as well as Cultural viewpoints… afternoon of pure Foodie heaven! You don’t have to be a seasoned Chef…or you could be… but either way you learn recipes that you can easy make back at home. After the cooking is done sit down to a memorable Mayan dinner you have just prepared.
You can go to Chef Miguel's website Cancun Chef and learn about his passion for food. Miguel is a real 'Foodie' and loves nothing more than to talk food the villa guest, many of whom are chefs themselves. This last year he spent a month in Southeast Asia taking cooking classes in Thailand, Vietnam and Taiwan.

Perfect Location!
We had the most wonderful spring break experience at our stay in this lovely home. The location is fabulous...not too far from the airport, grocery store, restaurants, and local attractions but RIGHT on a fabulously secluded beach! Our main goal was to be away from crowded beaches and this villa delivered! It was just perfect for our family of 6.

Absolutely Wonderful!
Secret Beach Villas was simply awesome! The location is easy and convenient to the Cancun Airport and the property is safe and secure, just to get started! The beach is quite literally one of the best in all of Mexico. The sand is pristine, the water clean, and ocean safe to swim and play in. The villa is wonderful and worked very well for our group of seven. Do yourself a favor and use Miguel as your chef! His food is amazing and we looked forward to every meal! I don't know what will be more memorable over time, Miguel's cooking or the superb quality of the beach and ocean! Either way, both were fabulous and the Secret Beach Villas will definitely be at the top of our list for future vacations!

Amazing time
Thank you Miguel and team. We had an amazing time and the property was beautiful. Miguel cooked the best food, which was a huge treat. House was awesome, pool and beach remarkable. Waking up with that view each morning was spectacular. Loved the local and quiet atmosphere. We had a really great time - it was fun for all ages. Will definitely come again. We really appreciated the hospitality from Miguel and his staff. Best Mexico vacation….

Paradise
My family stayed in the fish villa for a week. From the beginning of the trip to the end, our experience was amazing! Miguel and Liza were great hosts who were always available if we needed anything. The house was perfect! Nothing feels better than walking right out of a house, past the private pool, and walking straight onto the beach! The location is perfect, 30 minutes from Cancun and 30 minutes from Playa del Carmen. We really liked visiting Puerto Morelos, which was only a 15 minute drive. Honestly, all the beaches in Cancun and Playa del Carmen were packed. We appreciated our quite beach in front of the villa. The service was great. There were housekeepers who cleaned everything up daily. And a person who cleaned the beach and pool area. I highly recommend staying here!!!

About the host

Hosted by Liza Piorkowski

Host profile image
Hello let me introduce ourselves. My name is Liza and my husband is Miguel, and we are the owners of the Secret Beach Villas since 1997.
We got in to the Villa Rental Business quite by accident. We had traveled to Playa del Carmen on a few occasions for vacations. One trip while doing some exploring we decided to check out a road we saw off the main highway. To make a long story short, we found Playa del Secreto, fell in love with it, we bought a villa and decided to rent out when we weren’t using it.
We moved from the cold of Metro Detroit in 1999 to live full-time in the warmth of the tropics.
Miguel is a professional Chef and cooks for our guest if requested. He has several years of management experience with Club Med - he speaks French, English, Spanish and Italian. Miguel is a Mexican native whom lived in the States for years, he is a real people person (which sorry to say I am not, I’m the computer Geek.) He enjoys fishing and is a real Foodie, we take a lot of Culinary vacations. take a look at our Homeaway reviews and you can read his Passion for food
I owned an Engineering Consulting company in Metro Detroit that specialized in the statically analysis of automotive Camshafts and Crankshafts for the big 3. I traveled all over the world crunching numbers for the big 3 auto companies. Check out my Blog “Getting it Done” in the Mayan Riviera… Life, Work and all the Guest Luggage!!!
