Hey Kim! 
Thanks for the follow up. Chad and I had a blast and enjoyed the resort. Our favorite day was 4th of July. The resort had a main lawn cookout for lunch, brought in a Statue of Liberty in the center of the pool, a live DJ in the pool during the day, a live band at night, followed by a circus show, and ending the night with  DJ, dancing, and a huge firework show!

We did go on an excursion to the Saona Island. It was AWESOME, so great that we came back and convinced 2 other couples to go! It was a full day excision on a catamaran. It included, tour bus transportation, snorkeling, visiting the natural “pool” (3-4 ft deep water in the middle of the ocean), lunch (grilled lobster, mahi-mahi, chicken, pork chops, and traditional Dominican side dishes), we had 2 hours on the island...It was beautiful!!!

Hey Kim and Love to Travel Crew,

We had a WONDERFUL time on or honeymoon at Secrets!  The preferred club beach was beautiful and it was nice to have an additional place for lunch options We've talked and if we did it again, I think we would choose a room with a swim out pool over the preferred club. Overall, the resort is stunning, the food was great, and the spa service was AMAZING.  

​We did one excursion, the Happy Hour "Cruise". We enjoyed it a lot. It was only half a day, we snorkeled, went to the natural pool, and had an open bar available. We would recommend it! We were going to do the all day catamaran, but didn't know if we could be on a boat in the sun that long. So this was a great middle ground.

We truly had a fantastic time. Thank you all so much for the constant advice and guidance while we planned. I have attached a few pictures. Thank you all again!

Hi Dave.

Thank you very much for all you did to make this an amazing experience!  The wedding was perfect and the honeymoon couldn't have been better!!

What were your favorite things?  

Our favorite things were (in no particular order):
  • -Our room!  I think it was the best of the best for location and view.
  • -The staff...we honestly felt as though we were among family from the moment we arrived.  There is friendly and there is is nice.  We met so many that were both friendly and nice
  • -The food was great!  Enjoyed all the restaurants and the VIP access bar food was good.
  • -VIP access area, pool and bar were great.
  • -Believe it or not, we did exercise (real workout) and the gym was great.  One day we had it all to ourselves and had a fun workout (hope there were no camera!  Hey, we were on honeymoon).
  • -Jonathan, our host got us involved with an exclusive blindfold dinner and it was cool!

Kim & Dave,

We absolutely LOVED our trip to DR. The resort was AMAZING, impeccable, and staff was very friendly. I would HIGHLY recommend this resort to anyone! Our favorite things about the resort was the preferred club area, that was nice to have another option pool wise to hang out in if we didn't want the noise of the big pool. We did zip-lining and played golf while we were out there. We golfed at La Cana, which was only 10 minuets away from the resort and we Zip-lined with Scape Park also only 10-15 minuets away from the resort. We loved how central the resort was to the excursions, not having to travel hours away and back from the resort was great. Highly recommend both excursions.

Thanks again for another GREAT trip! Cannot wait to plan another trip with you guys!

Hello!! I will definitely send some pictures your way! We absolutely LOVED the entire trip. The resort was amazing. One of our favorite things about it was the people of the Dominican. We also LOVED the food- especially at the preferred club restaurants!!! We did the zipline/blue hole excursion and we would definitely recommend. Overall it was a wonderful trip and we really hope to go back to the exact same place!! I also love that the resort was pretty quiet and relaxed. It never felt overcrowded. It was pure bliss and paradise. 

Thanks for every thing. Will send pictures soon.
