We’ve been to a few different resort brands, including Secrets The Vine, TRS and Excellence in the Dominican— this was our favorite resort. The staff are wonderful. The beach is very nice. Our room was a junior swim-out. We had heard some negative things about water temperature. That wasn’t our experience. Yes, it was a bit chilly in breezy days, but we found it worth the extra cost. We found a nice routine of having breakfast and then reading in the swimout for an hour before heading to the beach. The food and drinks were very good. My wife has to avoid gluten and this resort does an excellent job of serving those with special dietary needs. There wasn’t much we would change at all. We were in building 12, which was convenient as it was close to the main building and entertainment. One strange thing: there was a septic smell one of the days. We noticed this at a different resort in Cancun. While it was off-putting, it’s wasn’t resort-wide. We had a couple minor issues with our room, and they were fixed almost immediately. Our concierge, Francia, was very pleasant and helpful throughout our stay.
