We were mesmerized with this hotel. The spa was just a a dream, appreciating and connecting with nature was amazing. Our concierge was just great. Our romantic dinner was a dream!!! Food was great. Area around the hotel with so many activities. We had an amazing time!!
Property is excellent. Snorkeling directly from the beach in both paid access (turtle viewing) and free areas. Service was fantastic at all times. Food was very good overall, with Italian and the Steakhouse as standout options. Jungle areas in center of the resort make navigation around the resort a memorable experience, easy to get lost and explore new places! It’s sort of a running joke amongst guests that everyone seems to be lost while navigating the resort.
Main lobby bar is the only letdown at this property. Seating at the bar top was limited to four stools, however several other seating options were available in the area. Due to bar being open to outside and lack of fans or A/C in the bar it was very hot most nights. Bar staff had resorted to using floor drying fans to cool themselves and one of the fans being used was extremely noisy taking away from the high end feel of the rest of this resort. We instead chose to spend or evenings at the outdoor sports bar were ceiling fans and a cross breeze kept everyone cool while enjoying their after hours cocktails.
Special call out to Brandom from the entertainment group and Alan from the bar team both were fantastic and made the trip memorable
Beautiful resort. Slimey people trying to upsell you as soon as you arrive and check in. Called our room every time we entered and it felt like we were being watched. Didn’t feel 100% comfortable.
We came here for our honeymoon. It was relaxing and everyone was friendly. Plenty of dining and bar options. Would go back! Definitely bring some bug spray!
Some of the cons are not a fault of theirs:
Mosquitos were very bad- I mean the worst i’ve ever experienced. They were trying to mitigate them, and had bug spray at the restaurants, but we still bought and went through a whole bottle.
Because of the mosquitos it was hard to enjoy the swim up room. Only used it once since the mosquitos were biting my face, scalp, etc.
Air conditioning did not work well at night in our first room, we thought it could be from the brief power outages, but it got to 75 degrees at times yet stayed cold during the day. A day or so after mentioning it to the concerige they moved us and we did not have the problem in the new room.
Food was great and fresh everywhere we went. If I was scoring food and friendliness of staff alone it would be 5 stars. I have food allergies and Santiago at the buffet went above and beyond to get me a pastry I had been wanting. They called us by name and always checked on us. The buffet food was the best I have had, and the restaurants were top notch.
Upselling was draining. People were telling us they tried to sell them on packages, which is understandable. But it was a 1-3 hour sales pitch for a discounted spa massage. I also felt swarmed as we left when a sales woman tried to convince us to book our next stay. I’ve stayed at other resorts where they were not as bothersome about it.
Parking worked out. We had a rental car but the trees dripped sap or something. So it was dirty.
Pefect one week stay. The best Secrets we have been to. Will return. I was a little worried about bugs, but we didn't see hardly any. There was seaweed a few days, but they cleaned it well out the water, so we could still enjoy the beach.
The property is very lush and well maintained. Room was spotless, fridge stocked with your preference. Nightly turn down service with fresh towels. Lots of umbrellas available for when it rained. Building concierge was great, always checking on you. Lots of entertainment during the day and evenings.
Great selection of restaurants and all were excellent. The main buffet was open for breakfast and lunch and the selection was overwhelming.
Waiters and staff are very attentive and always checking that you are satisfied and have what you need. They go above and beyond. Every area was serviced well. Always wanting to know how they could help you.
We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay.
