I’ve been around the Caribbean and stayed at several resorts. For the money, Secrets is a fantastic experience for the money. The food is pretty good- all commodity foods BUT the flavor is there! Plus you’re a short ride from great food out side the gates. I’d read that the property was dated and needed an upgrade - but I found it pleasant. Staff was great! The Caribbean in my opinion is some of the worst customer service in the world but Secrets staff was kind, welcoming, smiling, accommodating. Marco, Gabrielle, Strong Diego/ Skinny Diego and the event staff were all really great to interact with. The only personnel issues I saw were at the concierge where they want you to take in a 90 minute presentation for free excursions. WAY too aggressive. Our person, who for the record did a great job, would not let off…. Multiple times a day while we were relaxing they would interrupt us in an attempt to do the presentation. Their boss “Arnie” was probably the problem; I witnessed him berating a staff member in the lobby- POOR FORM ARNIE! You work in hospitality, someone is always watching. As a sales person in Hospitality myself, I could give a million suggestions other than “be aggressive”. However, Secrets was a great experience and I will certainly be back.
