Fun and Relaxation at Secrets Cap Cana

Rensselaer, New York

My wife and I just returned from a fantastic five night stay at Secrets Cap Cana. We have been to a number of all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and D.R. and even though they were all enjoyable for us Cap Cana is the best we have ever stayed at. The size of the resort, about 450 suites, is just right. Big enough for great restaurants and entertainment, plenty of bars and fantastic pools, yet small enough for resort staffs to provide great service and pay attention to the smallest detail. The resort is very beautiful and the grounds are well maintained. The beach is very nice and well spread out. For us though the infinity pool stole the show. Nothing like relaxing in a pool overlooking the ocean. Not sure if we'll make it to an all-inclusive next year but if we do Cap Cana will be at the top of our list. is the

Overall good; the negatives were mostly as expected.

This was our first time staying in Punta Cana. Choosing an all-inclusive to stay at was not easy. I chose Secrets Cap Cana based on the reviews. Overall, our few days there were good. Pros and cons. Pros- great beach. Great pool. Beautiful views. Great staff and service. Drinks were always forthcoming. We were celebrating our anniversary and the extra attention to detail for that made us feel special and was a great extra touch. (I have to say - I am amazed at everyone listing names of staff that were key to their experience - we did not have that experience.) The Market Cafe- the buffet restaurant - offers a great breakfast with Fresh eggs, amazing fruit spread (the mango is amazing) - best food/meal hands down. We did lunch there twice- one day was much better than the other. Luckily it was our last meal and helped us leave on a positive note. We were in the gym daily and were able to do everything we wanted with their selection of free weights, various cardio machines, machines. Cons- food (other than mentioned above). A couple issues with this. First, no reservations at the restaurants. This means you need to expect to wait 30-45min before being seated. Make sure to factor this into your evening plans. They give you a buzzer so you don’t have to stay at the restaurant waiting and there are enough bars that you can plan to get a drink while you wait. There is evening entertainment as well (live music or performers) that helps pass the time. Reviewers have commented on good food at the italian and French restaurants. I found it good relative to other options. The duck at the French restaurant was excellent and the biggest leg of duck I’ve ever had. They were out of escargot halfway through the night, which was surprising. House wine was not good - it was worth it buying a bottle. The dessert crepe was tasty. Italian- the burrata cheese of the not-caprese “caprese” salad was good (the basil was a watery pesto, which was not good). The pasta was okay. We were too full to try dessert. The Asian restaurant- we repented going there. The rice used for the sushi is completely wrong. The tastes were off and flavors were subpar and lacking. The sake was a house sake and served in a large glass- not what we expected. A couple times a day there was staff walking around the pool with finger food- this was usually fried food. I wish this was fresh fruit- much better accompaniment for sunbathing then chicken wings and fried fish. We got massages one afternoon- they were great but overpriced. I am not used to prices in a developing country being more than what I pay in NYC. Another con was the morning we spent listening to the sales pitch for becoming a member of the hotel chain. The pitch was fine and the women we met were great to talk to. We had a great breakfast with Carla with great conversation. The downside was when the men take over to really try and sell you and say just say yes or no. If you say no, you will be passed on to at least two other “closers” before you are allowed to leave- just be prepared. An additional con- it’s hard to not notice the second-class status, and the treatment of Haitian staff. I do not believe this is a statement against Secrets- it is clearly an issue much bigger than the resort but some improvement towards treatment, and attitude, could go a long way. We were assigned a concierge, which seemed fancy. In reality, it was nice to have a go-to person to text a couple questions to but she really didn’t do much else. She helped arrange our massages and breakfast in our room for our anniversary, both of which were much appreciated. Otherwise, she just asked if we had questions. Which we didn’t. But it would have been much more helpful if she had explained things to us - such as how to get our coupons for wine/spa/beach dinner or all the activities that could be arranged off the resort (snorkel, boat ride, etc). I felt that we didn’t know what to ask about and no information was proffered. Overall- good/very good. Beach and pool - excellent. Service and attention - excellent. Food and spa - overpriced. Most food- mediocre at best.
