guaranteed lush cocktail! Our main man Adrian bringing us cervesa on the beach!! ADRIAN we miss you amigo □ gracias! Also the coyote at the Seaside :) all staff are wonderful. The coffee in the coffee shop is also very good! The staff - The are outstanding! They are so attentive, as its a smaller resort it's more personal, they remembered us every night our drinks orders etc. The Italian is beautiful, Asian was also very very good! As a veggie they looked after me too :) the seaside grill - lush! The buffet was good, we had breakfast there and a few lunches, only 1 dinner. We met 4 other couples ( 2 UK & 2 Canada) and all agreed on this also. Food - We did not have a bad meal in the 14 days we stayed at Secrets. We had a forest review room 400, yes the resort is hilly but it's absolutely gorgeous you have to explore it! If you don't want to walk you can get a shuttle they are always around. I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have.Īmazing amazing amazing resort! I will try to keep this brief :) Travelling from the UK and as we do, I read every single review on here about this resort prior to our arrival! I noticed a few negative reviews and I honestly do not understand what anyone could complain about here. We will not return because of the issues around the pool and the risk that a unit w/o steps may not be available. We purchased transfers with Viator, 1/2 the cost and very reliable. Let me say that Harold, one of the van drivers, was my favorite. All of the staff were excellent and I apologize for not taking names to thank them. Our friend caught a Mahi Mahi on an fishing trip and the chef at the Seaside grill made blackened Mahi and Cerviche. I watched the chefs and they definitely had problems multi tasking, On twe days the hamburgers were like hockey pucks. If you ordered food, the wait was over 45 minutes. We ate at the buffet for lunch one day and were disappointed. Omelets made fresh and the fruit was wonderful. The menu for table service at the asian restaurent is also great. Food: As with all Secrets resorts the food is excellent. It is ironic because umbrellas in shaded areas have stronger bases. Even when they are down a gentle breeze will blow them over!!! So this means no shade for anyone around the pool. If they are up, a 5-10 mph wind will blow them over. But the issue at this pool is that the umbrellas are dangerous. To get these chairs you must grab them around 6:30. OK, I will say that my group loves to sit around the main activity pool. ![]() But be aware of the room you are assigned. There are shuttle vans that will take you anywhere w/in the resort. If you have any issues with mobility or climbing stairs let them know! We were booked into a room with over 20 steps w/o a railing! Luckily the staff person saw the brace on my knee and moved us to a unit without steps. First of all, the resort is built on the hills surrounding a beautiful bay off the Pacific. We love Secrets Resorts, but there are several things that you must be aware of when you go. ![]() I enjoyed the beach near the smaller pool a lot! I would return based on the food and would prefer a newer closer room next time. The room could use some more dresser storage and hooks as well. Lots of towels and toiletries were appreciated. ![]() Our room was a little tired, bed was comfy but the shower was not great, had to wait awhile for hot water and the faucet handle was loose and actually fell off. Our room was very far from anything so that was not great but there were shuttles you could call if you didn’t want to walk the hilly property. ![]() The house wine was great according to the wine drinkers in the group and I enjoyed some great mixed drinks. Every single meal was delicious, great variety and no issues whatsoever. During our stay we visited Seaside Grill, Himitsu and Portofino restaurants. No matter, we were offered a mimosa during check in and we immediately found our way to a restaurant for lunch at Aqua for their delicious catch of the day. The check in process was very smooth although we did have to wait until 3:00 for our room. We visited this property for 3 nights after attending a wedding at a higher level hotel across the bay.
