Secrets Impressions Moxché is ironically enough no secret at all. This is one of the most hyped-up resorts I've ever stayed at. Countless blog posts were written about how this was an amazing points deal and a must-visit property. The question is, was the hype worth it? Overall, I would say yes it mostly is. This is a wonderful hotel and absolutely worth a visit for the right price. Of course, there are some (big) issues with this place. Most notable is the timeshare pitch and smell from the beach.
Our cost for this stay was 25,000 World of Hyatt Points per night (some nights were actually a bit cheaper due to off-peak pricing). For this price, the hotel is no question worth a visit. For the new price of 50,000 World of Hyatt points, not so much.
Is the Impression side worth an upgrade over the standard Moxche side? Honestly, that is a tough call but I would probably say yes (especially if you are not a Hyatt Globalist) unless the price difference is huge. You feel a lot more exclusive on the Impressions side and there is much less crowding.

There's thousands of travel, resort reviewers hard to stand out but your delivery is quick, direct to the point. Very fair very Informative. Your great. Subscribed
Just left impression, stayed 8 nights and everything was amazing !!!
How much $ it was?
Glad to catch your channel early before you blow up. Easily the best review channel in the points/miles space in terms of quality. Bravo. New sub!
Thank you! I am very happy you have been enjoying the content. Anything in the future you want to see?
Very high quality review. Best review I have seen. Please do more of these, especially RIU.
The food and everything about this resort are spectacular. The seaweed has nothing to do with the hotel, it’s because of people in the world!
Pools are not brown! They are dark due to the dark tile!
This is an amazing g resort!
We are going here in 5 days, staying on the cool side as well. I’m pretty amped. Hope the seaweed is gone lol. Thanks for the thorough review.
I hope you have a great trip there! A friend told me that the seaweed smell is gone for now so hopefully that lasts. I am happy you enjoyed the video!
Great review
Is the seaweed there all the time?
He may not have worn pants appropriate for the restaurant, but his videography skills are on point!! Great review!
Nice video on the hyatt AI resort. Question on AI and this one in general; for all the places you ate the property; was there a cost to you?
Great review. To the point and thorough. I'm thinking to stay at Impression Moxche late April early March possibly splurging for a swim up suite but I'm worried about the sargassum/seaweed. Should we be unlucky and it's bad at the time we're there, would we be able to smell the stench if we stayed at one of the swim up suites? Thanks so much!
I think it would depend on which suite you are staying in but my guess is that you would be fine. On the impression side, a lot of the swim-out suites are far back enough that you should be good. Also since they are on the ground level I think that helps a bit given the foliage and such. Are you planning on trying Teodoro?
Im a Unlimited vacation club member and they give us those coupons as well, haven't been to this property yet but it's on the list. Hopping for no seaweed
Our experience with the sales pitch at Dreams Los Cabos was absolutely awful. The workers were fine but we finely agreed to going in order to receive a free couples massage. They had a hard time with my husband telling them we didn’t want to purchase and tried to give us drinks in order to sign but we don’t drink. They weren’t happy and it was a draining two hours. Not to mention the only food that we enjoyed there was the Buffett.
Are there things to do here after dinner besides the secret club?
Shauns voice is so crisp
Truffle is all the rage these days. Did any you two try it (with the olive oil and avocado)?
You were spot on with your review. The Bamboo restaurant was my wife and I favorite for lunch. Dinner at Seaside surf and turf was impressive. Breakfast at seaside felt very attentive and relaxed. We truly enjoyed having a peaceful breakfast. The burger on the rooftop impressions side was amazing.
I couldn’t believe that he said the food was not great, the food is OUTSTANDING FOR CARNIVORES AND REGULAR PEOPLE I have tried a few of the vegetarian options and they are great as well.
Just got back and I agree on food, it’s hit or miss. Some items are really good and others not so much. It’s not terrible in any way but has plenty of room for improvement. Sushi was the worse sushi I ever had.
When you ask for an upgrade do you ask before your arrive by email, app, or phone call? Or just wait until you check in?
Great question! I usually send an email a few days before arrival and I also ask at check-in
Is this worth it over secrets moxche?
When were you there?
I've heard mostly great things about the Impressions that just opened in Isla Mujeres. Any plans on going there? It looks beautiful and is an Impressions only property.
I would love to visit but if I’m correct it’s also 50K Hyatt points per night?
To be honest regardless of how good it is idk if I could ever pay that given that Calala Island is 40k, Ventana is 40k, Park Hyatt Kyoto is 40k, PH and Alila Maldives are 30k. There are just so many good options for so much cheaper
If I had way more points though then I would probably book it
@@TheTravelLaneI saw Park Hyatt Kyoto at 35k points in Feb... lol
@@druiz012 Oooo that is a very good deal! My only concern would be if it's too cold at that time. I'm going to Park Hyatt Kyoto this August for 35k and my main worry is that it will be way too hot lol
@@TheTravelLane I've been to Japan in August (granted it was 15+16 years ago) and it was hot but not unbearable. So given climate change it might be unbearable. Lol
The timeshare pitch and brown pools and oceans should be a no go for a $1500/nt hotel. How did the service compare to Thompson the Cape and WA Cabo?
The service was pretty good. Noticeably better on the Impressions side. I'd say better than The Cape but not as good as WA Cabo, not saying they weren't as friendly or anything but it's just too big of a hotel to compete with WA Cabo on a service level.
Shoutout to Nicholas who works at the Impressions Rooftop, he was awesome!
@@TheTravelLaneNicholas was the freaking man when we went too!
@@TheTravelLane We loved Nicholas too lol
is preferred ckub room is consider impression ?
Sadly not, the tiers go like Impressions > Preferred Club > Moxche
What Hyatt points even are?
In real money how much is it?
Everything looked beautiful
We going to have to @ him but points you can accumulate by staying on different Hyatt properties or credit cards points @thetravellane
Hey, i'm staying 7 nights in December: Can you tell what kind of alcohols are included at the pools or bars ? Is it only cocktails or you can order straight whisky for example ?
Also, can you tell if the Jacuzzis are actually HOTS or is it the same temperature than the pools ?
Can I have access to Secrets Impressions rooftop pools if i'm staying at Secrets Moxche ?
Great questions! We didn't drink so I can't tell you for sure but I think you could order whatever you like? For the hot tub temperatures, it varied one-day being the same temperature as the pools but rest of the time it was legitimately hot.
We need to see more of Jessica. I wish she would actually speak up in the video and give her thoughts
I’ll try to get her to appear more lol 😂
YAAA Jessica fans
I just booked through my hyatt points/chase reward system. How much was the impression upgrade? How do you upgrade ? And was it worth the upgrade ?
Did you book with Hyatt points or via the chase travel portal? I would advise to never book via the travel portal if possible. I booked the impression side directly on hyatt using points so there was no extra charge. If you are paying with points I would personally say it's worth it to pay the extra 10,000 Hyatt points per night to be on the impressions side
We went to the time share pitch at the playa Del Carmen Moxché they our towable service there everyone’s all stuck up even the workers they were all really nice at the beginning. Once we said no to paying 90,000 which is 1600 a month with $26,000 down payment there they were rude they left us alone. We didn’t know how to get out of the timeshare room, nobody had time for us. Very horrible hotel really nice tho
Wtf is a water closet Shaun
Lol the toilet room
Jessica, I know your boyfriend is interesting and makes good video commentary, but we need your input! Please say something in the videos!!
@@911eVoX I just tag along🤣
Just OVERPRICED!
What’s the best vegetarian all inclusive? Subscribers wanna know. 🥦🥕🍅🍠🫛
(painting on the left’s foreground was better; painting on the right’s sky was better)😁
Very good question!
My guess would probably be the Hyatt Miraval properties since they are so wellness focused. Although if you could speciality properties like Calala island I’m sure that would be #1
