snorkeling. Also within close proximity is the Playa Mujeres Golf Course,
a Greg Norman signature 18-hole course with exceptional ocean and tropical

Mexico through the debut of Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres,” says Erik van
der Kaaij, General Manager of Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres. “We offer our
