Overall, the Secrets side of this AMResorts complex truly lives up to its 5-star rating, and I would encourage anyone travelling without guests under the age of 18 to pick this over the neighbouring Dreams. The grounds are well manicured, with lush foliage and an elegant open air lobby. The resort is located within walking distance to popular destinations such as the Malecon, Mirador De La Cruz, the Marina, Zona Romántica, and much more, which was really convenient. The beach is rocky and full of vendors, but this does not factor into the review since it is public and not a part of the resort. Rooms were elegant and tastefully decorated, and were spacious with comfortable beds. Service was excellent, and staff were super friendly and always willing to help, something that was inconsistent on the Dreams side. Pools and Hot Tubs were cleaner than on the Dreams side and seemed to be better maintained as well for some reason. Wait times for the A-La-Carte restaurants were a bit long (seriously, Preferred Club members should at least have the ability to make reservations), but considering how good the food was it wasn’t a huge deal. I also really enjoyed the buffets for Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. The Crepes were absolutely incredible (shoutout to Bernardo and Orlando for making the best crepes I have ever eaten)! Oceana had delicious food, the buffet was excellent, and Bordeaux was extremely impressive as well. I have written a separate review on the slightly disappointing neighbouring Dreams resort, but this resort gets almost everything right that the Dreams resort struggled with. This resort gets A LOT right! I stayed at this resort for 10 days arriving in late December 2022 and leaving early January 2023.
