Upon arriving at the Secrets Tides Punta Cana, I was pleasantly surprised to find an oasis of relaxation amidst the bustling spring break scene. The resort, part of the World of Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection, offers a peaceful and laid-back atmosphere that sets it apart from other adult-only, all-inclusive options in the area.
The Secrets Tides Punta Cana boasts 688 modern and spacious suites, ranging from junior suites to the luxurious Presidential Suite Ocean Front Plunge Pool. The Preferred Club Suites offer an elevated experience with butler service, personalized check-in and checkout, and access to exclusive lounges and a private beach section. The rooms are well-appointed, with modern Caribbean-style decor and all the amenities one would expect from a luxury resort.
With seven bars and lounges and nine diverse dining options, the resort caters to a wide range of tastes. From Italian and Mexican cuisine to Mediterranean-Asian fusion and international buffets, there is something for everyone. The Seaside Grill offers quick favorites like hamburgers and slow-cooked short ribs, while Tierra serves up South American-inspired dishes like bandeja paisa and Brazilian moqueca seafood stew. Vegan options are also available at all the restaurants.
In addition to spa treatments and a fitness room, the resort offers a variety of activities to keep guests entertained during the day. From snorkeling and nonmotorized watersports to tennis and pickleball, there is no shortage of things to do. Off-site excursions are also available for those looking to explore the local area. And for those seeking a more low-key experience, daytime live music performances add a touch of ambiance without disturbing the peace.
As the day transitions into night, the resort maintains its tranquil vibe. After enjoying a delicious dinner at one of the resort’s many restaurants, guests can head to the 400-seat theater for a range of entertainment options, from musical tributes to Broadway shows. For a nightcap, the adjacent Desires Sports Bar is the perfect place to unwind. Despite the occasional sounds of nearby revelry from other resorts, the Secrets Tides Punta Cana remains a haven of serenity.
The Secrets Tides Punta Cana is a true gem for those seeking a relaxing and upscale getaway in the Dominican Republic. With its luxurious accommodations, diverse dining options, and array of activities, the resort offers a perfect blend of tranquility and entertainment. Whether you’re looking to unwind by the pool or explore the local area, this tropical paradise has something for everyone.
