Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana

Secrets Royal Beach was lovely. It is a smaller resort, however it contains a more personal atmosphere. The staff are able to remember you and anticipate your needs.

My wife and I recently spent one week at Secrets Royal Beach in Punta Cana in early November 2026, travelling through Air Canada Vacations. Having accumulated more than 150 nights over the years at one of the original adults-only, ultra-all-inclusive resort chains in the Caribbean, this was our first experience at a Secrets resort. We can confidently say it was an outstanding one. The resort itself was absolutely spectacular, and the staff were exceptional throughout our stay. The grounds were beautifully maintained, spacious and inviting, and one of the things we appreciated most was that the resort never felt crowded or overly busy. Our room was generously sized, with a very functional layout that made it comfortable for the entire week. The rain shower was a nice added touch, and housekeeping and overall room maintenance were excellent. One of the biggest highlights, however, was the food. The à la carte restaurants were very good, but the buffet was truly exceptional. The variety and selection at all three meal services were incredible, with virtually every option imaginable. There was something for everyone, regardless of personal preference. **The one area that could use some improvement was the arrival experience. After a long day of travelling, the last thing guests want is a series of sales pitches. First, we were approached at the front desk about upgrading to Preferred status, followed by the concierge team encouraging us to attend a so-called “welcome breakfast,” which turned out to be a presentation promoting timeshare opportunities. Neither experience was particularly welcome or appreciated. Fortunately, this initial experience was quickly overshadowed by everything else the resort had to offer. However, management may want to reconsider how aggressively these offers are presented, particularly to guests who have just arrived after a day of travel. Overall, Secrets Royal Beach exceeded our expectations. The beautiful property, outstanding staff, spacious accommodations and especially the exceptional food made for a fantastic week. We would certainly consider returning and would happily recommend this resort to others.

Absolutely loved this resort! This was our first time in the Dominican. We were blown away by the genuine friendliness of all the staff! We truly felt like family! I have been to other all inclusive resorts and this one is my all time favorite!

Absolutely incredible vacation at Secrets Royal Beach. Staff was welcoming, friendly, warm and attentive. Highly recommend upgrading to preferred club. Grounds were beautifully maintained, rooms were lovely, and food was delicious. Beach was also gorgeous! Slight seaweed problem but by our last day, it cleared up and water was stunning and clear.

Great place, VERY friendly, clean, great beach, calm water, great pool but not enough activities and sub par entertainment
