10/10 Excellent

"A Truly Unforgettable Experience! Secrets was nothing short of spectacular from beginning to end. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth, exceptional hospitality, and an impressive level of attention to detail that immediately made us feel special. The resort itself is absolutely breathtaking—elegant, luxurious, beautifully maintained, and incredibly relaxing. Our room was immaculate, spacious, beautifully appointed, and extremely comfortable. Every detail felt thoughtfully designed to create a true luxury experience. The staff deserves special recognition. Everyone we encountered was gracious, attentive, professional, and genuinely eager to make our stay memorable. They consistently went above and beyond to accommodate our requests, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Their warmth and hospitality truly elevated our entire vacation. And the food was phenomenal! The quality, presentation, variety, and flavors exceeded our expectations. From breakfast to dinner, every meal felt like an experience of its own. The restaurants were beautiful, the service was impeccable, and we were continuously impressed by the culinary offerings throughout the resort. What stood out most was the resort’s commitment to making guests feel completely pampered and cared for. The atmosphere was sophisticated yet inviting, the service was seamless, and the attention to detail was exceptional. Special thank you too Valeria Mario,Alexandro,Myra,Girar Fernando"

"Rooms were basic, my sheets had the worst smell like someone had been playing outside all day and got in the bed (I had to have housekeep come change them and I had just arrived)! It lacked entertainment and excitement during pool time and after hours! Staff was great and tried to be accommodating. Breakfast buffet was terrible limited options the 2nd worst I've encountered thus far!! They say its a party hotel definitely not!! Great location for walking shops and restaurants"
