Secret Bay

I stayed here for just over a week with my husband who is actually from Dominica so we have had the pleasure of staying all over the island and I was really looking forward to seeing if secret Bay lived up to my expectations and I’m glad to say it did. Their accommodations are stunning. Well maintained and the wonderful details such as the fully stocked kitchen based on your selections pre-arrival, we also appreciated the snacks on the pick up from the airport and the attentiveness of all the staff during our stay. However our villa hostess Fanya was absolutely incredible. We still talk about those breakfasts she made for us each morning and how well she took care of us during our stay. We also put the security team to work too as we were out so often because it was Creole Fest, so we often come back during early hours of the morning in our in our rental needing the security team to take us in a buggy to our villa. We stayed in Yang Yang ll. During our stay on one of the excursions which we arranged ourselves I got an eye infection which I had mentioned over breakfast to Fanya and within what felt like minute she had arranged for a doctor to come onsite. She was brilliant and treated it and it would’ve been much worse had Fanya not taken such swift action. I even got a personalised follow-up from the hotel manager Craig which was a brilliant touch. During our stay we had a private dinner party for my mother-in-law‘s 70th birthday and the team did a wonderful job transforming the outdoor space with beautiful decoration and we had the private chef experience which my family who attended really enjoyed and it is something we will treasure as a memory forever. The spa was wonderful. We had a couples massage. I also paid for one for my cousin as it was her birthday during our stay. They also prepared a small cake for her and it was easy to arrange everything typically via the messaging service on the iPhone they give you. I love secret beach, the cocktails on the beach and again the service there from the team was brilliant. We ate at the restaurant and also had room service and the food is delicious. Of course like everywhere there are things that could be different. The outdoor gym needs work and for people like us who do like to use that on holiday, it would be a nice touch to update the machinery and at the least get some fans outside. Also the pre-arrival communications can be slicker mostly from a responsiveness standpoint. We will absolutely stay there again likely opting for a bigger villa so we can bring more family with us next time, it’s so wonderful as my husband is a Dominican to see how wonderfully they represent the island!

We had an amazing stay! It was our first time to the island and I can’t say enough great things about the resort. From our villa hostess Tashida who took such wonderful care of us during our stay to the rest of the staff and general manager Craig. We had issues with travel home and they went above and beyond to help us with an additional night accommodation. We felt like the only couple there almost the entire time. We had the most amazing views and th heated plunge pool for me was a game changer! We did the Titou gorge and waterfalls excursion which was perfect to get out and about for a day. We also had a couples massage onsite which was amazing. We will definitely be returning!

I recently stayed at this beautiful resort with my wife, and while we had an overall enjoyable experience, there were some important issues I feel need to be addressed. The resort itself is wonderful. The hotel is stunning, with excellent amenities, and the food was absolutely fantastic—every meal was a highlight. We felt very comfortable and relaxed in the space, and the atmosphere was truly perfect for a getaway. However, we did have some issues with the villa service. Rhona, the attendant assigned to our villa, unfortunately provided poor service during our stay. Her attention to detail was lacking, and it felt like the level of care we expected was missing, which was a bit disappointing. The most troubling part of our experience came when, while planning our next vacation together, my wife revealed that she had been sexually harassed by one of the beach attendants(Johny) during our stay. I was deeply upset to hear this, and I immediately reached out to the hotel via email to express my concerns and to ask for any follow-up. Unfortunately, I never received a response from the hotel. This lack of acknowledgment or action was frustrating and disheartening. It’s my hope that the resort takes this issue seriously to ensure that future guests feel safe and respected during their stay. While the resort itself is lovely and the food was outstanding, this experience has definitely left a negative impression. I sincerely hope that no one else has to go through something like this in the future. I do wish to return, but only if these matters are properly addressed. I hope that no one else has to experience what we did.

Definitely a bucket list destination whether you simply want to recharge your batteries/ get pampered in a spectacular location or want thrill seeking in a tropical rainforest! Having your personal concierge (ask for Sherina) sets SB apart from every other resort we’ve ever been to!

This place is an amazing luxury boutique experience. The resort is small enough that you never see more than 5-6 people at any given time. It’s very private. The private plunge pool is nice. They turned up the heat for us every night and we had our own little hot tub (98 degrees). The service is very friendly. Though, it’s maybe not as attentive as what you might be accustomed to experiencing in the United States. I think it’s just a cultural difference. Everyone is more than happy to provide great service. Breakfast in villa is awesome. The pool is awesome. The food was awesome. The amenities were all very high quality and functioning. It’s an amazing experience but you should also understand that you aren’t staying at the Hilton with elevator and carpeted hallways leading to your room. If you want a unique experience in nature while still enjoying the luxuries (Netflix, air conditioning, private pool), this is the place to be. Also, it’s fun to go into town and experience the towns restaurants. The island is very safe and people are friendly. It’s fun to interact with the locals and learn about the island. It’s a cool island, just don’t tell everyone about it and ruin it.
