While this resort is definitely not a party place, it does attract a wide age range of vacationers (mid 20’s to mid 60’s). Although wine is emphasized here, drinks of all kinds can be ordered at any of the six bars. Master Suite sitting room areas, courtesy AMResortsĭining opportunities include five a la cartes, a buffet, a café, and poolside BBQ’s as well as paella on occasion. This resort has recently acquired in-room iPads which guests can use to make spa reservations, check out the latest resort activities, upload photos to one’s media account, or surf the web. Several guest room categories also have in-room soaker tubs with exterior views, another great room amenity. Those wanting more shower privacy may want to consider the Master Suite since this room category has a separate living room–the shower is inside the bedroom and the bedroom can be closed off by a sliding panel. Although it has a beautiful design, it can pose a privacy issue for friends traveling together or parents bringing adult children. One of the resort’s distinctive amenities is the white glass shower inside each guest room, usually within site of the bed. The resort recently added a colorful Cancun sign on the beach for guest photo ops. If there aren’t enough shade umbrellas already set up, just ask a staff member and they will set one up for you. There are hammocks and canopied structures (similar to the ones poolside) on the north side of the property along the wall, and there are plenty of loungers to go around. Several steps lead down from the pool to the powder-white sand beach with its easy ocean entry and stunning turquoise waters. One of the beachfront pools, courtesy AMResorts There are two poolside bars, but no swim-up bar. There is also a very popular beachfront Jacuzzi, and be sure not to miss the “chef’s parade” which happens at 1 p.m. (kitchen staff bring out trays of appetizers to hand out to the guests). Although the canopies are not typical resort-style Bali beds, two padded loungers with accompanying pillows are provided for each shaded area. While all sundecks have loungers and umbrellas, canopied structures are available for all guests on the main sundeck. The Preferred Club pool is for Preferred Club guests only with its own bar service, padded loungers, and shade umbrellas, all with a great ocean view. There are four heated pools which were recently renovated–two beachfront pools, a lengthy lap pool, and the more sedate and isolated Preferred Club pool up on the 12th floor. Given its perpendicular orientation to the sea, amenities are in close quarters to one another, especially the outdoor areas. Last but not least, we also want to thank Jeovani and Manolo Elvira from Market Cafe.Aerial view of Secrets the Vine, courtesy AMResorts Loved the long stretch of clean, white sandy beach, the pools were wonderful, especially on the priority level. ![]() We would definitely recommend Secrets on the Vine and have done so already. They were both wonderful and made sure that we had everything we needed. He and the chef there made sure that our anniversary dinner was one that we will never forget! Thanks guys!! We opted for the Preffered Club option with butler service, by way of Melina and Pingting. Oscar has a terrific personality and his hospitality was top notch. We will forever be grateful to Oscar from Dragon, which was in our opinion the best restaurant. ![]() They were always friendly and went above and beyond. The staff took extra care in terms of cleanliness and took such great care of us. Our room was huge and the view was amazing. We were there from October 11th through 18th celebrating our 13th anniversary and cannot say enough about our experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Secrets on the Vine.
