Fodor's Expert Review Secrets Aura Cozumel

Part of the Secrets brand, the elegant, all-inclusive Aura raises the bar for the south coast's string of swish beach properties. Four low-rise buildings face a meandering pool with separate areas linked by a lazy river. Swim-up suites have direct patio access to the ground-level pool, while third-story solarium suites have narrow rooftop lap pools. The design throughout the seven room categories is sleekly contemporary, with dark-wood furnishings and contrasting sea-blue textiles, flat-screen TVs, and iPod docks. The resort offers the ultimate all-inclusive service known to most Secrets properties in Mexico.
