Secrets/Dreams Punta Cana final thoughts. Sorry for any duplicates. Beautiful property. Beds fantastic. Having a bad back from a car accident I have issues with most hotels and cruise but these beds are amazing. Sleep like a log. Also the air conditioner goes down enough for anyone with hot flashes or Arizona to be comfortable cold. Many properties or ships I have trouble with the temperature. Having a ceiling fan is a bonus. Food for thought. If you want to be on the top floor at Dreams you have full roofs but if you look at my photos from yesterday the Secrets side there is no coverage. So you are sitting in the full sun or rain. On the dreams you can sit fully shaded and enjoy the rain and fantastic breeze without the sun. Also keep in mind that the rooms facing the ocean never get direct sunlight while the pool views face east and west. It’s still a newer protest and many staff is still learning. The only restaurant that needs reservations is the Japanese but they never seem busy since you can dine at both properties which is nice. But keep in mind kids are not allowed in the adults only area. Each resort has preferred club lounges with preferred club pools and restaurants which is nice. This resort is not as spread out as some which I like and if your looking to do a conference the ballroom is gigantic. Will send photos of the gala tonight. I will note about the dirty carpets and chairs since first impressions are lasting impressions and they do have a reputation to protect but I expect it will be rectified. Also note check in is 4p. My room was ready but many agents rooms were not and there was a lot of grumbling but clients need to remember that check out is usually 11 and it does take time to turnover all exiting rooms but they can store their bags and enjoy all the wonders that the property has to offer.

At Secrets Punta Cana. Want to feel like your on survivor do the lush landscape expedition. Now if you have any mobility prosthetics. Pregnant etc. this is not the tour for you. First you start out in an hour long jeep tour through the jungle on extremely bumpy terrain. It truly felt like a never ending Indiana Jones Ride. Than a 25 minute boat ride across the late through the mangroves. Getting out of the boat was an issue for everyone. There is nothing to get your footing and the boat is at an angle upwards. Two guys literally hoist you up. Ashley was laughing me. But even she who is 90 lbs 4 11 had a lot of trouble. The other interesting thing was the military guy with the rifle. He protects the beach from any try to escape to Puerto Rico or anyone trying to come to the Dominican Republic. The seas can turn on you in a flash and many have been lost at sea trying to leave. Next was fresh coconuts. It was super hot and humid since being from AZ we have no humidity. The coconut water was very welcoming. Next up rice farms and the rice factory. They mill it by have some videos soon. Coffee plantation that literally grows everything and we could have sampled the coffee and hot cocoa but it was too hot for that. It was a fantastic tour

Game room. Churros. Ice cream shop (one on each resort). You can get coffee there as well. This is ashley’s mother ship. In the outside showroom they played Hotel Transylvania and then had people in costumes doing some kind of performance. They have enough for everyone. Secrets Esmeralda Punta Cana

They love neon lights here. Yesterday was a great back to the future them. Every night they do a show in the middle of where all of the restaurants would be. Great location. Plenty of seating or viewing from any location. Always lots of dancing and singing. They do a great job. Secrets Esmeralda Punta Cana

Bee update at the Secrets Esmeralda Punta Cana. It’s seems like a daily occurrence that they have to spray for bees. Now I don’t know if it is just my corner since I’m on the end but it is 2floors of my building. A few things that are not good. I think the property opened in November. The carpet is from my friends room and the seats are from my room. I get we are at a family property but I am shocked that they are not cleaned better. They must have a beehive close. When I left my room which is the last on the floor dead bees all over. Same at the room just below me. So they must have sprayed. Will see if there are more tomorrow. My El Salvador friend found a dead roach outside her door. They are gods creatures. This is why I don’t go barefoot. Secrets Esmeralda Punta Cana

The buffet. Both properties have their own buffet. Dreams has a cute kids section. Plentiful and with a gluten free bread case but dry. But as ashley and I always say. We are just happy that they offer gluten free breads and muffins. Disappointed that there is no Dominican flavors on the buffet. Oddly every restaurant the chicken or turkey is always dry. Ashley has been living on fresh papaya and mango here. They use a lot of citrus so that has been a challenge. A friend who is from El Salvador living in Canada stood watch while they cleaned the grill and cooked me chicken so there was no cross contamination with any meat products or citrus marinade. Theirs signs are a little misleading. On the menu for gluten free if it is a yellow wheat symbol it is gluten free if it is orange it is not. She has been asking a lot of questions for us at meals. Great to have our own personal translator. Secrets Esmeralda Punta Cana

Tierra Amazonian restaurant at Secrets Esmeralda Punta Cana. There was only one thing on the menu I could eat due to my food allergies. Fortunately it is the best thing I have had here. The Amazonian Chicken. A lot of the food has been lacking flavor we heard the Dominican restaurant was good so we are going to hit that up before the gala.

2 resorts on one property. Secrets. The adults only and Dreams the family property. It feels smaller in the sense that the restaurants are nestled in the middle where the two properties connect. Except for the arches you would not know where one begins and the other ends. I love the layout. It is not a bad walk but you can get a cart if needed. No bridges like some of the properties.
