We did the time-share tour and this time 'bought in' based on the great service provided by our guide, Orlando (sharp young man who was honest, extremely pleasant and charming), as well as the overall value we felt given now our second "secrets" property experience (we also stayed at Secrets - The Vine, in Cancun, back in 2018 - our favorite property thus far, though Vallarta Bay, PV running a close second). massage) - while you can never go wrong treating yourself to a massage or mani/pedi (I did them all), simply getting a day pass to use the facilities would equally have been well worth it given all they offer in terms of outstanding relaxation spaces - sauna, steam, hydrating pools, bucket showers, incredibly comfortable lounging chaises/chairs, in a peaceful and tranquil environment!. As for events and activities - if you can, we highly recommend getting the beach double-decker private cabana on the beach (but close also to pools, and had its own private outdoor showers to rinse) for a day (had from 10am-6pm) included unlimited supply of alcohol, grilled foods (shrimp, Mahi Mahi, flank steak, fish taco's, calamari, rice & veggies for our lunch meal), chips & salsa - all provided by our private butler/host - well worth the $300 rate for our party of 8!

Getting back to the resort, the food was yummy overall - truly enjoyed the food at Oceana and Capers restaurants in particular. ![]() My butler, Carols Miranda, was the BEST! He was gracious, accommodating, attentive and extremely responsive - we set up a "whatsapp" text connection and I was able to reach him anytime I needed, and he also made a point to check in with me daily to see if we had any special needs - his service alone warranted the 5-star rating! While on subject of super star service providers, there was Carlos's partner in service, Jose Becerra - terrific too!, and let me call out our VIP/Vacations Unlimited host, Vanesa Flores, who was incredibly sweet and helpful throughout our trip. Suite with swim out pool! The room was nicely appointed and set up with lovely amenities, including a welcome bottle of Champagne, fully stocked refrigerator with soft drinks & beer and a few snacks, as well as all the essential toiletries in the bathroom.
