Jan 19, 2025Beautiful resort but food and service is inconsistent at best
For context, we are avid travellers in our mid/late 40’s and have travelled to multiple resorts in the Caribbean over the years (including other Secrets resorts). We are not foodies but appreciate a good meal and enjoy going out to dinner. Overall Aesthetics/Grounds/Atmosphere: 10/10 Beautiful very well manicured grounds. Zero complaints here. Probably the best part about the resort. Beach: 6/10 The view from the preferred area beach is beautiful. Great view of the mountainside. Very pretty. The beach itself is small and very rocky with lots of sea grass. Water is crystal clear though. None of the beaches (including the St James side) are very big (all are rocky with coarse sand).. don’t expect any walks along the beach here. If beach is important to you, look elsewhere. Rooms: 8/10 No complaints about the rooms except for the chairs on the balcony. Uncomfortable (scratchy hard material). Beds were okay but probably need replacing. Service: 4/10 Hit or miss. Sometimes you get smiling faces and staff willing to help. Others are downright grumpy and are always expecting a tip. We don’t tip for every single thing nor every drink either. Big improvements need to be made in this area. Two notable exceptions were our Cabana server Latonya (she was wonderful) and the lovely server we had at the Asian restaurant (her name started with an S but can’t remember). Good luck getting consistent service at the beach. They disappear for hours (even when they get tipped). Food: 5/10 Food was not great which is surprising since we have always loved the food in Jamaica. If you are a foodie you will be severely disappointed; everybody else, you’ll be able to find something somewhat decent but don’t expect anything really good. Restaurants are not open every night so plan accordingly and expect long wait times and slow service, especially at Bordeaux. Overall cleanliness: 9/10 Clean everywhere, always. Maid service was pretty good. Entertainment: 7/10 Pretty good live bands and shows but seating was usually limited - get there early. Preferred Club Benefits: 5/10 Provides access to quieter areas of the resort (the main pools are loud (music blaring most of the time))which also disrupts the adjacent main beach areas. Pools: n/a We didn’t really use them. The preferred club (Wild Orchid) pool is super small, but it’s quiet. St James preferred pool area is really nice (also quiet) - we spent one day there. In conclusion, this resort has a lot of potential and if you don’t care about food or service you can have a great time here. It certainly wasn’t awful but it’s not a 5 star (food & service) and we will not come back to this resort based on experience and tastes. Lots of other places to check out

Jan 16, 2025Secrets - St James - Montego Bay
This was our first time at an all-inclusive resort. Let me tell you, from our first 10 minutes until we left, we were treated with such kindness and patience. The best part of our vacation was meeting our butler, Rashmaine. He catered to us and anticipated our every need. What a wonderful young man. He even texted and asked us to let him know we got home. We're hoping to stay in touch with him. The food at the resort was very good and we really enjoyed the evening entertainment. We would have liked to spend a few more days because there were many things we would have liked to do but didn't have the time. We did spend quite a bit of time at the pools but I did manage to get out in a kayak to explore a bit. Drinks were plentiful and the bar staff were all wonderful. My favorite bartender was Dowaine, another sweetheart. By the time we left we knew we would never forget our week at Secrets. I highly recommend this resort and hope to make it back one day.

Jan 15, 2025Great experience.
The room had a deep big bathtub. Shower head was in the ceiling, and it had a shower wand also. They have large bottles of soap, shampoo, and conditioner in the shower. The building I stayed in had a small area with 9 hot plates and 9 cold plates, 3 fruit drinks, 3 vegetable drinks, and alcohol. Rooms have a hot tub on the balcony. Rooms have good lighting. Bed was big and comfortable.

Secrets - Best Couples Getaway!
My husband and I visited Secrets. We enjoyed our time being able to spend alone as a couple - with great room service, beautiful beach & pool areas, friendly and kind staff to help with any questions we may have. We had a truly great experience at Secrets - great place for couples to get away in the sunshine!
