After many trips in Mexico, we decided to try out Jamaica. The water was clear and warm, there was plenty of wildlife, great reef diving and boating options to choose from. The entertainment was really enjoyable. The staff was very friendly. Highly recommended.

My husband and I traveled to Secrets for a relaxing adult only experience. The resort did not disappoint us. Here are highlights: Champagne and/or rum lunch upon arrival and check-in. Superb service by bellmen and front desk staff. Matthew was awesome, he remembered us by name and greeted us warmly daily. Spacious king room with tiled shower, separate jet tub, mini bar, balcony with a jacuzzi tub large enough for two. The tub overlooks the water. More than five restaurants including Italian, Mexican, Japanese, Jamaican, and American cuisines. They served lobster tail and for Preserved Club guests, lamb chops were offered on the Buffett. Well appointed spa with hydrotherapy including two steam rooms, a sauna, a cold plunge pool, a hot tub, and an ankle level wade pool. We had a couples massage in a nice sized room with a heart shaped tub. We had turn down service each night with a Hersey’s kiss placed on the bed. There is 24 room service with menu items including wings and sandwiches. We had no issues securing pool side or beach chairs Monday - Wednesday. More guests arrived Thursday - Saturday and chairs go quickly. There are a few concerns: The Preferred Club upgrade was an additional $250 per night. It included top shelf liquor at a tiny table top bar, a mini area for food, the jacuzzi tub, a separate pool area, fluffy robes and slippers. We drank all day but found it odd that we were able to do so. Comparatively, one drink upon our return home quickly taught us the drinks are far stronger state side. Don’t expect a Benihana experience at the Japanese restaurant. The food at Secrets did not compare. The Jamaican restaurants however were great. The Jerk chicken pizza at the stand on the beach was pretty good. Tipping is expected . Guests should take plenty of dollar bills and five dollar bills. On the Wednesday of stay our stay, we received notice that the entire resort would be without power. This was a major inconvenience because we left the resort to head into town and could not gain entry info the resort we awaited security. Read less

The only issue we had was we paid extra to be in the Preferred Club rooms to get the extra amenities but there is no barrier between the normal side and the preferred side so LOTS of people who didn't belong on the preferred side wandered over and were using the beach/hot tub/pool areas who should not have been.

The only issue we had was we paid extra to be in the Preferred Club rooms to get the extra amenities but there is no barrier between the normal side and the preferred side so LOTS of people who didn't belong on the preferred side wandered over and were using the beach/hot tub/pool areas who should not have been. What was the point in us paying more if everybody gets to use those things? Sometimes they were escorted out by staff members but we travel all over and most places have some some sort of key code gate/barrier to separate the two different areas.. That is HIGHLY needed at this property. The other side was like constant Spring Break, which is great if that's what you want, but we wanted quiet this trip.. Otherwise, it is a beautiful property with good restaurants and night life! Read less

Awesome experience. Kenroy and Duran made the trip. Perfect weather. Great food. Quiet room. Lots of restaurant options. Especially enjoyed the Altitude restaurant. Cooler and reserved space at the pool was a special treat. River raft trip was a fun off site experience.

Excellent resort, staff and location! The Secrets excellent standard met once again! This place borders on the Secrets St.James, virtually the same resort. We stayed in a studio with a swim out pool, I’m not a big fan of these but it was a nice touch with a partial ocean view. Room was modern, decent size and always clean. The service in the members lounge and on the beach was top notch. Special shout out to Sheree and Shedane, hope I spelled those right. They were upbeat, funny and hardworking. Nothing tops that! Restaurants all good. Italian and French are my fav, the buffet has everything, it was very good and easy to navigate! Lots of shops. We didn’t do any excursions, just sat on our butts for 7 days! There’s a jerk chicken guy with a smoker that comes around in the afternoon! CHASE HIM if you have to, it is unbelievably good! 😎 As usual Secrets you didn’t disappoint! Read less
