If you want a Robinson Crusoe experience with full comfort, this is the place. All the villas are very private, we enjoyed so much being by ourselves in our bubble with stunning sea views. In the morning, we were lucky to have breakfasts cooked in the villa by our charming butler. She took great care of us, always in a good mood. We had relaxing massages in the outdoor cabin with natural playlist, heating the waves breaking on the shores. The villa has everything you need, even more equipped than mine at home. The bed was one of the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. Every-time we needed a ride from our mountain to the facilities, the drivers came instantly at the villa ready to pick us up. The main pool is pretty magical. Gym can be improved as it’s outdoor and full of mosquitoes. The restaurant has a great service but it’s a bit sad, no ambiance, no vibe. The staff is always friendly and professional. We loved the WhatsApp communication with the iPhone provided during our stay. Thank you everyone.

This is a stunningly gorgeous luxury property with beautiful villas, Michelin quality food, an extensive list of activities and amenities, and wonderful, professional staff. We booked three spacious villas, and all of them had spectacular views, and private plunge pools. A special thank you to our personal villa hosts Tashida, Breana and Elena, all of whom took such good care of us. (Each morning they would arrive at our villas to prepare custom-ordered breakfasts which we devoured while mesmerized by the gorgeous views of the Caribbean. We really loved the "chef's daily menu" concept offering a new culinary menu each day. Our favorite activities included private in-villa dinners (when we were not dining in Zing Zing), couples massages, kayaking to Secret Beach, a lion fish catch and cook expedition (a very cool snorkeling excursion where we captured the invasive lion fish, which were later served to us for lunch, prepared in our villa by one of the resort's chefs), a boat tour of the coastline (thank you Captain Don), and of course lounging at the beach and resort pool. Guest Services (Natalia) and Concierge (Chenyse) provided amazing service. We cannot wait to return to Secret Bay - a truly 6-star experience.

Secret Bay made for an unforgettable vacation. While the property is wonderfully maintained, the shining star at Secret Bay is the customer service. The staff really do go out of their way to make you feel at home (Ex. My wife was unable to use the organic shampoo supplied with our Villa, their staff kindly went out and provided us with some name brand shampoo). We stayed in one of their Ti Fey Villa's. It was private, clean, and well kept. When you need to get to somewhere on property, you can either walk or request a someone to promptly pick you via golf cart. The food on property is excellent and the views are stunning. If you're looking an adventurous Caribbean vacation without sacrificing modern amenities, then Secret Bay is an excellent choice.

Beautiful location, ultra relaxing and a 5☆ experience in the making. That, though, is the issue. It is still being developed and the dining/food experience has yet to be optimised.

The quiet, spacious property means that golf buggies are available to help you deal with the hilly terrain. And it is hilly.

If you want tranquility and to get away from it all then you're in for a treat. However, the blending of Relais Chateux standards with the relaxed Carribean vibe isn't entirely smooth.

To say that our recent stay a Secret Bay was the best vacation we've ever had would be an understatement. We had high expectations of the property after seeing photos and reading reviews online. All of our expectations were exceeded at this unique property. The staff was warm and welcoming and we got to be on a first-name basis with many of the workers we interacted with by the end of our stay. Our in-villa host Rhona was attentive to all of our needs and went above and beyond to make our every request possible. The location of the property is stunning and the architecture of the villas only enhances the beauty of this unique place. Dinner at Zing Zing was a highlight every day, with something new to try at every meal. We were unsure about the "discovery" menu concept where there was no set menu each day but that ended up being our favorite part since everything we had there was amazing! We are already planning our return trip and can't wait to come back and explore more of the island and what Secret Bay has to offer.

A very special place. Intentionally designed around nature. You’ll hear birds, crickets, frogs, you’re surrounded in nature. All the villas are private and it’s still quite small. They are doing expansion right now so there’s some construction. only 1 restaurant for all meals. No kids club yet. Staff were all wonderful. Food was excellent. The drive from the airport is over an hour on winding roads just be aware. Beautiful lush island.

The service and experience at Secret Bay is unparalleled. The privacy you are afforded through your own villa, allows for a completely uninterrupted peaceful retreat. Or, for the adventure seekers, there are plenty of exciting and thoughtfully curated experiences to choose from. Everything is organized for you, on your time, and your schedule is solely up to your discretion. The grounds are lush and beautiful, and it's hard not to feel totally transported into serenity. The environmental consciousness that Secret Bay upholds is impressive, and yet there is no skipping on the feeling of luxury you experience while there. An incredible balance that can only be maintained by the thoughtfulness and care provided by the staff and owners of the resort. This is truly a vacation that we came back from feeling completely nourished in both mind and body. There are many options for dining, including their fantastic restaurant, in villa private dining, or you are also welcome to cook yourself. We opted for all three and were never disappointed, fresh ingredients, healthy options, all organic and locally sourced. There's nothing more you could ask for.
