We had a nice time visiting Secrets but wanted to leave a review to help potential future travelers. Knowing what I know, I'd still visit again but would change the way we did things.
Pros:
Beautiful resort, lots of restaurant options, polite staff (especially Edwin, he was amazing to us!!), rooms were cleaned daily and looked and smelled great, different activities each day (water volleyball, aerobics, etc), spa was wonderful.
Cons:
1) The food at the restaurants was ok. Everything had a sweetness to it that was not pleasing. I am not a picky eater and I almost never ate my dinner. 2) If you came in a large group you'll have a hard time getting into the restaurants together 3) You cannot move the pool chairs to sit with your group 4) After a long day of travel, you check-in and immediately they start their sales pitch to get you to be a member. That is the LAST time I want to do at the beginning of vacation. 5) Their $200 resort credit is coupons, you cannot use it in the gift shop even though we were told by multiple staff it could be used in the gift shop. Had a nice surprise bill at check out 6) MEN: Remember your pants otherwise you will pay $189 dollars for linen pants just so you can join your group at dinner (cause you didn't already pay several grand to be at the resort....) 7) They have golf carts that bring you around the resort, and we were told we could not walk the "roads" between the different areas. There were instances where we waited 20 minutes for a golf cart to come around
