We had a good time -- although we had something taken from our room and it was only sunny 3 out of the 5 days, it was nice to get away.

We won't go back to a "Secrets" resort again because of the poor response from the management (and their attitude that we were lucky they let us stay in their hotel)....the workers were amazing, though. We met some fabulous bartenders, the food was good and the food & beverage manager was fantastic.

So warm and fun!

More pics (for the foodies)!The first is a Crown of Shrimp on a bed of sweet mashed potatoes with a curry cream sauce and caviar. The second is Seared Lamb Chops. Each dinner was a 5 course meal. Presentation was amazing and the flavor was fab.All inclusive, all adult resort required men have long pants, collared shirts and closed toed shoes for dinner. Other meals required sleeved shirts and no beachwear. That was nice.
