Other facilities

Chill out by a choice of three pools. For ‘can’t bear to look away’ views, dive into the infinity pool, which comes with a coveted beachfront location. Alternatively, head to the main pool for good old-fashioned relaxation. If you’ve treated yourself to a Preferred Club suite, you can also visit the pool exclusive to Preferred Club guests, where poolside butler service offers an extra reason to upgrade. There are also two outdoor hot tubs on site to unwind in. Don’t miss the fabulous beach on offer, where an array of sun loungers and umbrellas are available. Or get active with a game of beach volleyball here.

If you’re in the mood for some pampering, Secrets Spa has you covered. Sink into a state of bliss in the hydrotherapy circuit, with its steam room, sauna, four therapeutic showers and a refreshing cold plunge tub. Plus, there are a plethora of treatments on offer including rejuvenating Swedish and Deep Tissue massages, as well as soothing facials, manicures and pedicures.

Meanwhile, there is a fully equipped gym with treadmills and weights. Plus, you can practise your serve at the tennis court or shoot some hoops at the basketball court. Fitness classes like aerobics, and the ever-popular holiday past time – water aerobics, are also on offer.

Once the orange-hued sunsets appear, an array of dance shows and live music are held at the open-air theatre for top-tier evening vibes.

Dining information

You won’t go hungry with 10 eateries on offer. Market Cafe is the resident all-day buffet venue, where local Dominican dishes and international favourites like pasta are on display, along with an alfresco tropical dining area. For lunch, tuck into burgers and hotdogs by the pool at Barefoot Grill, or make the most of coffees and snacks at Coco Cafe, which is open 24/7.

As the starry nights set in for dinner time, choose from French cuisine accompanied with a glass of wine or two at Bordeaux, or savour a la carte Italian favourites at Portofino. There is also private dining and access to the wine cellar available here (upon reservation and for an additional cost). If Caribbean cuisine entices you, dine at Dona Altagracia or for sizzling steaks, head to Castaways. Seaside Grill also serves classics from the grill and whets your appetite with a portion of alfresco beachside vibes. A quirky fusion of Mediterranean and Asian cuisine takes centre stage at Meraki, where you can try hibachi delicacies too. Meanwhile, Rosewater – the reserved venue for Preferred Club guests, plates up versatile a la carte dishes along with unpretentious winners like nachos.

Thirst-quenching favourites are abundant at the five bars on site. Venture to Rendezvous in the lobby to enjoy suave old-fashioned cocktails all day or enjoy refreshing beers and cocktails at Barracuda by the pool and beach. If you’re enjoying the poolside ambience, stick around at Sugar Reef for some colourful fruit juices and a plethora of cocktails. Alternatively, get your health kick at Revive in the spa, where smoothies await. If you need more temptation to upgrade to Preferred Club, Manatees is the exclusive swim-up bar, where you can glide your way to cocktails-galore.
