I choose Preferred Club every time. 15 days until Mexico and counting…

My husband and I are jet-setting to Mexico in approximately 15 days (like anyone is really counting).  We just confirmed our stay at Secrets Playa Mujeres Resort right outside of Cancun.  If you have been following me, you know that this resort is brand new, highly anticipated for the area, and I have two weddings there next month.  It’s time for me to go stay there myself, meet all the staff in person and become familiar with all it has to offer.

I choose Preferred Club every time.  It is an option that you do pay additional for though I know it is worth every penny.  Our confirmed room category is the Preferred Club Junior Suite Ocean View.  I get asked a lot about the Preferred Club so I wanted to go through all the amenities and let you know why I choose it every time.  First off, I like to feel like royalty, I like to be pampered, and I like the feeling that I didn’t choose the cheapest room in the resort.  I am a part of an elite group on the resort that gets to take advantage of all the special amenities.

I’ll go line by line and explain what these amenities really mean for you.

  • Preferred status and amenities
    Exactly that.  I love having status.
  • Preferred Club suites in premium locations
    This is the biggest reason why the Preferred Club is worth it.  These rooms are always in the best location.  Closest to the beach, with the best views, closest to all the amenities.
  • Personalized check-in and checkout with concierge service.
    When you arrive at the resort you won’t have to stand in line to check into your room.  You will be taken from the main lobby to the private Preferred Club area for a private check in.  Upon Check Out you will do the same.  The benefit to this is that the Preferred Club is closer to your room than the main lobby.
  • Daily à la carte breakfast service in Oceana restaurant
    This is an amenity that is only offered at Secrets Playa Mujeres though check out the Preferred Club Privileges for each resort for their special amenities.  I love a la carte breakfast.  Even though room service is always nice, eggs are hard to perfect when they need to be transported to our room.  I will definitely take advantage of the a la carte breakfast and really have no reason to do the buffet the whole time we are there.  Love it!
  • Afternoon hot and cold hors d’oeuvres
    You’re are coming back from the pool or beach, stop in for snack.  They have signature drinks just for the Preferred Club and its always a nice break from hot weather.
  • Exquisite desserts and fine liquors
    Stop in after dinner and pick up some fudge and a glass of champagne.  It’s there, take advantage and enjoy.
  • Private Preferred Club Lounge
    You can take your IPad and go relax while you wait for partner to finish a spa treatment.  Catch the game.  Have a drink. Relax and be waited on.
  • Pillow menu
    There are usually three pillow choices or more on the menu.  The menu is in your room on your night stand.  Orthopedic pillows, feather pillows, firmer pillows, they make sure you are comfortable.
  • Complimentary newspaper in suite every day (English or Spanish)
    Stay up to date.  Read your newspaper with a coffee on your balcony in the morning.
  • Complimentary Internet access in suite
    Perfect!
  • Complimentary computer access in Preferred Club Lounge
    This is a great amenity to print out your departure airfare boarding passes.
  • Upgraded mini-bar service
    Mini bottles of liquors, snacks, you ask, they will provide.  We packed the leftovers in our carry ons before to have on the plane.  Saved us from buying all of that on the plane.
  • Upgraded bath amenities
    Everything you can ever need in the Spa by Prenovia products.  Plus, all the essentials including toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, spf, sewing kit, so much!
  • One day pass to the wet areas of the Secrets Spa by Pevonia (per person, per stay)
    This is worth $79 per person and you can bet I’m taking advantage of this!  It’s so fun.  Steam showers, saunas, hot tubs, cool pools with waterfalls and then the dreaded ice cold pool.  When you try to get out of it, you feel like you are in slow motion because its just crazy cold!
  • 20% off spa treatments (not combinable with any other promotions or offers)
    Thank you! Yes please, give me a discount because of my status.

I hope this gives you a good explanation of what is included and the benefits of the Preferred Club.  I’m so excited for my trip.  It’s both work and play.  I will post pictures and update my blog while I am there.  I will definitely share all Preferred Club extras.
