![]() ![]() We were on the 3rd floor and had a lovely view of the pool and ocean. ![]() Bordeaux and Himitsu were our favorites for evening meals. Huge salad bars, veggie wraps at Oceana were terrific at lunch time, plenty of choices at the bar - even no-alcohol cocktails were amazing. There was an abundance of choice even for me. Restaurants - as a vegetarian I often worry about variety - this hotel far exceeded my expectations. ![]() Service and quality of the breakfast was beyond expectation. The food was excellent and hot (a pleasant surprise) and the champagne chilled. Hotel gave us complimentary champagne breakfast in our room to celebrate our anniversary. The only reason we would choose a different place next time is that we prefer something a little less crowded, but if that isn't an issue for you, we'd recommend this resort. The resort could use some "TLC" on the surface everything is fine, and it is clean, but if you notice details you can see that some areas do need some extra attention. The water was beautiful, and the walk to the bar was very reasonable (as busy as it was, it was far quicker to make the short walk to the bar yourself, rather than wait for service on the beach). The beach area(s) while not expansive was very well looked after. With the exception of Oceana, all the restaurants are in one area, and if you had to wait, you were given a "pager" so you could grab a drink at the piano bar and sit outside while you were waiting. All restaurants (except some seating at Himatsu) were first come first served, which we preferred. We're early risers so we didn't have an issue finding lounge chairs on the beach (our preference over the pool), but if you like to sleep in you'd have trouble finding a chair (at least one with an umbrella/shade) - again, this likely isn't as much of an issue of you are preferred guest.Įven though the resort was very busy, we only had to wait one evening for a short time for a spot for dinner. There were a few evenings where corporate events were held on the beach but they were very good about respecting the quiet hours and the events ended at 10 (I think, may have been 11). There are two resorts on a fairly "compact" piece of property, and while I wouldn't call it a "party atmosphere", if you are a "people person" either of the Secrets Resorts here would be a great option (if you want plenty of space to yourself or a quieter atmosphere, this may not be the resort for you - an upgrade to the preferred rooms give you access to separate beach and pool areas which are a bit less crowded). Our room had a partial ocean view and generous sized balcony which was great on the the few afternoons where we had some rain. There was plenty of space to eat and drink outdoors. There were many positives about the resort including all the staff - they were great! There were a variety of food options and overall the food was good. Overall our stay was great and met our expectations (though we'd say Secrets Cap Cana was a step above this resort). It was also the first time we traveled at "peak season". If you're a member of the World of Hyatt rewards program, you can earn and redeem points here.This was our second trip to a Secrets Resort (Secrets Cap Cana in 2019). Others caution that service can be a mixed bag. James' nine dining venues mixed reviews, though most said they enjoyed their meals at seafood-focused Oceana and Mexican-influenced El Patio. Unlimited-Luxury also allows guests to take advantage of Wi-Fi access, attend themed parties, participate in activities like snorkeling and tennis, and indulge in unlimited food and drinks. James' stretch of ivory beach, but all accommodations are within reach of the pool, where guests can relax with complimentary wait service – part of Secrets' Unlimited-Luxury package. The adults-only resort's 350 suites are elegantly appointed in soft, neutral tones and include four-poster beds, 24-hour room service, flat-screen TVs and private balconies with deck chairs. James offers all the amenities of a luxury all-inclusive on the beach, but it's only about 5 miles southwest of Sangster International Airport.
