One big difference between these two resorts 👉 Secrets Playa Esmeralda is adults-only, while Zemi Miches allows children.
If you’re traveling with kids, Zemi is the option but if you want a kid-free getaway, Secrets is the way to go. The bonus? Secrets guests also have access to the neighboring Dreams Playa Esmeralda, a family-friendly resort that shares common restaurant areas, giving you even more dining variety. 🍴🌴

This was a great video! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences at both resorts. Did you guys experience seaweed at either resort? Also, I've seen reviews that Zemi beach has a lot of rocks and isnt the best for enjoying. I would love your opinion on which resort has the best beach? They both look amazing ❤ so hard to choose
To compare a junior suite at Secrets vs a 1brm suite at Zemi is an unfair comparison. You should’ve compared it to Preferred Club Master Suite oceanfront. Second the rates you quoted at Secrets are completely wrong. rates do not start at $149 per nt, about lowest rate for tropical view room is about $340 per nt during their grand opening introductory rates, then you will see later in the year prices going up to $400-500 range per night. Biggest difference between these resorts is Secrets is an adult only resort while Zemi is not. For guests that do not want to stay at a resort with kids, Zemi is out.
