Hi! You will love Secrets! My husband worked there for two and a half years as a bar tender: beach bar, showtime bar, and the disco. I used to vacation close to Secrets so we could be together, but on a nightly basis I would taxi to his resort and be with him as he worked. I would go to the casino, then watch the show, and then go to the disco.

The resort is so beautiful and romantic. Yes you will see lots of couples but I would not let that bother you because it is a 5 star hotel all the way. It is definatly a more 'high class' resort and you will see a lot of people dressed up in their best evening wear, therefore take some nice clothes. The best thing about Secrets is that it is adult geared. The shows are a little more revealing and you don't have kids screaming all day long! I would say the majority of people are from the US and have always been very friendly. I am sure it helps when you drink premium brands of alcohol!

I usually vacation in Oct. - Nov. which is usually a more slow time. Secrets always had lots of people there. The ages I would assume were between 25-55, but definatly mature and most in 30's and 40's.

The beach is clean but is not the best part of Dominican beaches, the water is a little rough. There are lots of hammocks too. My husband and I had some pictures done from the Secrets photographer and he did an excellent job on the beach. Highly recommended! Out of 36 black and whites, I think I did not like 5.

Like I said, I would only be there in the evening for a few hours, but have always dreamed of being a vacationer there. Your vacation is what you make it: if you want to relax...relax, if you want to party...party!

It is very nice that your mom is taking you to one of the best resorts in the DR: 5 star, adults only.
