Secrets la Romana, An All-Inclusive Adult Only Resort

Secrets is an amazing laid back luxury resort that was perfect for us to invite friends to. We had been a year prior and loved it. Michael Campbell truly is the reason our stay was so amazing. He did everything he could to give us the best vacation experience ever. From bringing us drinks to anticipating my dietary needs. He remembered from last year my exact morning drink requests. I am astounding just how kind, thoughtful, and generous this man is. The beach cabana was so special for us. The pool cabana on the preferred pool was a dream come true. We slept so well in the fluffy sheets and enjoyed having clean vegan body products. Negative if you’re vegan pack your own food. Biggest negative they fumigate and you’ll see dead insects and wildlife around.

We recently went to Secrets - unfortunately it was the week of hurricane Melissa - so no sun. Very nice grounds and staff. The food was generally very good. I appreciated the excellent service provided by Olga in the pool bar and Rosa at the Mare restaurant.

We had a wonderful week at Secrets La Romana! The resort is stunning, nice beach area good for swimming, no rocks, gentle waves and gradual, two huge pools, and many great restaurants to choose from. Our favorite was the Latin Fusion. The bartenders were great, and we enjoyed the speciality cocktail on the beach everyday. We ate lunch on the beach almost everyday - barbeque lunch and enjoyed the live DJ. There were tons of activities everyday, our favorites were yoga, aqua Zumba, and dance lessons. We also participated in a rum tasting. The whole entertainment team was fantastic, so much energy and kept us having fun the whole time! Yuliana is incredible, she was leading activities from morning to night with enthusiasm. Maria Reyes, Yulieta, and Pablo Picasso were also great. The rooms were nice and clean, but to be honest we spent most of our time outside because it was so beautiful! Would definitely recommend Secrets La Romana and return.

We are on our last night here at the resort. This has been a very special holiday for us as we got engaged on the beautiful beach here. Private meal- (additional cost of $99 pp) To celebrate we did a private meal on the pier at the time of booking my fiancé said what we wanted to celebrate to concierge at the desk in the preferred club lounge and requested the table to be decorated however there was no acknowledgment of our engagement and table was just plain no decoration which was disappointing. However the steak at this meal was amazing and it was a nice touch that the chef came out to check on us. Also our waiter was wonderful (can’t remember his name unfortunately) Preferred club- We upgraded at the time of arrival of our stay and did not regret it. We loved having access to the air conditioned lounge and private bar. Lounge was always filled with fresh snacks. We had wonderful service from Olga and Evelyn at the blue bar at the preferred club swimming pool. So attentive and made delicious cocktails. Never had a problem getting sun loungers at the pool or the beach! Food- Our favourite restaurants were Sakura and la moustache. Sakura - we enjoyed the sushi bar and the a la carte restaurant. Food very good. However one thing I will mention is my partner had asked to have sushi at the table at the same time as our meal as we had seen multiple couples do this however we were told no and sushi can only be ordered at the sushi bar with a booking! Which is annoying as 10 minutes later the couple next to us were aloud to order sushi to their table as well as the a la carte menu. La moustache- the duck dish there was amazing. The other restaurant were nice just nothing stands out like the above. Chinola was the only restaurant we didn’t enjoy. The food was very dry like it had been sitting under heat lamps for a long time. Unfortunately the service here wasn’t great either. The waiter came over with the wine list ( which is an additional cost) asking if we’d like wine? Which we responded no thank you as we don’t really drink wine. The waiter seemed extremely annoyed at this and just walked away. Needless to say we didn’t return to chinola. The buffet food was ok. Coffee bar adult side- All of the wonderful ladies at the coffee bar always had a smile on their faces and happy to help. There is one special lady I’d like to mention Cesarina Cedeño who always remembered my order of mint tea every evening and it was service with a smile. Room- Room always clean and tidy. Plenty of storage. Our maid was Elba Iris and she did a great job. I’m unsure of the evening maid who did turn down however she was amazing too. To summarise the staff here in general are wonderful so friendly. However attention to detail was missed in our case which was abit disappointing.

Last week was my third trip to Secrets La Romana, and it was just as amazing as the first time! The water was perfect for swimming, wading, floating, and snorkeling. The food was delicious, and the hostesses and servers were very attentive and friendly. The entertainment team was exceptional, especially Esteban, Maria and Anna! We enjoyed the morning yoga classes and an afternoon hobie cat ride while there was a good breeze. The rooms were very clean and nicely stocked; the maid service in building 1 was top notch! The check in and check out process was easy and quick. We hope to make this an annual vacation trip!
