Imagine: you've finally landed in this tropical haven where that giant yellow glowing thing above you isn't the neon lights at work - no, friend, you're now in sun-drenched Jamaica where a half-mile stretch of unblemished, white-sand beach is waiting for you. In the distance is a cobalt blue mountain range that's a darker echo of the teal waves next to you. Is this paradise come down to earth?

Amazing Honeymoon Experience
This place is outstanding. The food, drinks, pools, beaches, and room all exceeded our expectations. The best part for us, however, was the staff. Every single member of the staff was warm, inviting, friendly, and accommodating. We experienced multiple occasions where staff members went way above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay and had more than we needed.
The following folks stand out in our experience.
Kelly - our concierge
Ernel - bartender at the barracuda bar
Philip, O’Neil English, and Cherisse- from the piano bar
Alvin and Rican - from the Secrets Wild orchid swim up pool bar
My wife and I were so impressed that we are already planning our return trip for our 1 year anniversary and are planning to bring friends along next time.
Best vacation we've taken in awhile...Only negative I would recommend avoid is the "Timeshare Presentation" It was an optional presentation...Still not sure how they convinced us to attend, but we weren't interested, plus it took away from Chillaxin Time. But overall very relaxing resort No Kids and very quiet and laid back.
The people 100% made this place! The workers are amazing. However, this orchid and st James have been our least favorite secrets in terms of luxury. Missing room appeal, mini bar contains no liquor or snacks. The grounds are beautiful and the water is simply amazing!!
So I was skeptical at first because of all the crazy reviews but long and behold this was one of the best vacations ever! A tad bit pricey but well worth the coins. If you are looking for luxury, with pampering and a Butler you need to stay on the preferred side of Secrets Wild Orchid. Everyone at this resort was friendly and respectful for the most part. My sister and I stayed in a swim up and when I say nothing but the best accommodations ever.. I think it was so good neither of us are willing to stay anywhere else that doesn't have those accommodations. Food and drinks all throughout the resort, food was actually better than anticipated. You could literally walk anywhere on the resort and get food and dribjs. If I can say anything negative about the resort it would be the room service. If you're staying at a A 5-star hotel such as this, you can't be excellent at everything and lack the room service. Room Service was horrible it was advertised as 24/7 but it sucked we ordered our food at 12 AM only to receive it at 3 AM and food was less than average for room service so that was the only downfall to this resort! Shout out too: Butler Shanika & Travis, Bell Hopper Matthew, and Preferred Concierge Andrew/.

Honeymoon Package?5 answers
I am looking at booking Secrets Wild Orchid for our honeymoon.
I am looking at your preferred Club Jr. Suite, but I don't see how I include the honeymoon package? I thought maybe you could shed some light on it.
Thanks!

Great question! Preferred club is only available on certain dates. Please call us if you don't see them at 800-915-2322 and a Beach Expert can get you set up immediately. Thanks!
CaribbeanJim
Lots of weddings and honeymooners at the resort. The staff decorated their doors and beach chairs! They have an office devoted to weddings--offer cakes, bouquets, etc. Don't know about a package, however.
Anne77
We just had our honeymoon here and it was great. We just did the basic room and they put us on the first floor next to the pool. I have to say, we loved it. We could walk back and forth from our patio to the pool. Having our room for fast access bathroom, food and water was great. We met friends with rooms on other floors and preferred ours over having to take elevators. The preferred club is kind of a waste to me. its more money, but doesn't really get you much more. Plus, you can go anywhere at the resort anyways. You can walk right up to the preferred club and use any of their ammenities. Even though we were honeymooning, we didn't spend too much time in the rooms to appreciate the outside soaking tub. Use the extra money for the Spa, which by the way they give you about $200 worth of coupons making all the spa treatments very cheap. Like $5-15 cheap for massage and hydro therapy!!! Hope this helps!!!
AlabamaHoneymooner
Friends of ours were with us on our trip and they did the preferred.They found that they paid more and got less than we did staying in the non preferred.They were not happy at all with the room service,and the fact that people from the nonpreferred were allowed to use the preferred facilities.They have no security stopping them.

Are there clothing optional areas for sun bathing?12 answers
7 years, 93 months ago

Secrets resorts to not have clothing optional areas and do not encourage topless sun bathing, however if you are interested in a property that does, you may want to look into the Breezes resorts, as some of them do have clothing optional sections.

Is it worth it to get the preffered club junior suite swim out?11 answers
I like the swim out feature and was wondering if it was worth the extra money?
7 years, 92 months ago
Mike
We didn't think so because it's not very private at all! The pool is so close anyways and a soakingtub is included in the other PC rooms and much more private.
swedishbeachgirl
I don't think so. We saw no one in the swim out pool.
tommyleelil
It seemed that their were some definate advanages to the preffered club... free internet.. no problem securing lounge chairs,... i think you get a private butler who handle all of your requests but I'm not sure how much more it costs
JOHNNYM
If you love the water and like the idea of walking out of your room directly to the pool then it is definitely worth it.
JenCC
I walked passed that area. The pool in that area is at most 10 feet wide. I liked the pool at the preferred St. James better.
lep543
Definitely not! People will constantly be walking by and seeing into your room. Also, the preferred club pool & beach are not as nice as the main beach and pool at the Secrets Wild Orchid. We stayed on the 5th (top) floor and had the most gorgeous views of the ocean & beach, and actually made several comments throughout our stay that we were so glad we decided NOT to do the preferred club.
Hawk
The hotel rooms are wondeful and have jacuzzi's inside them! i don't think it's necessary to upgrade
mandymo
I would say no, the swim outs are really not that great as far as location. The bottom floor rooms that go out to the beach areas are much better. and no extra cost.
beachlovers2011
Hi, we just got back from there and I thought the swim out suites were nice, but not worth the extreme price difference, the pools are all super nice and close to all the rooms.
cupcake123
We did not have the swim up room, but we saw them from the pools. These rooms offer very little privacy because you are on the ground level looking out into the pool area. We also talked with a couple while we were at this resort and they had mesquito issues with their balcony on the swim up room at night because of the water being so close.
Sas00112
I didnt get the swim out but I wish I did. I think that would be a great feature.

Does the resort offer free snorkeling trips?10 answers
I see that snorkeling is offered, but what does that mean? Snorkel gear with limited snorkeling off the beach? Or does the resort have a snorkel boat that takes guests out to a reef(s) at no cost?
7 years, 89 months ago
mcmstuart
You can do two things for snorkeling:
1) Book an excursion for $36 for the afternoon snorkeling trip through JOlly PIrate or $56 for the afternoon snorkleing trip through De Palm Tours
2) Rent snorkel gear ($15.50 for 24 hours) at the shop fright in front of De Palm Pier ( red biuling right next door to hotel) and take the gear down to baby Beach.. Beautiful snorkeling and swimming and beach.. beats the high rise beaches..
Domino
Secrets Resorts offers snorkeling as part of the all inclusive package. They will provide you with snorkeling equipment if you wish to snorkel off the resorts beach. If you are interested in a catamaran snorkeling tour we suggest Island Routes - Island Vibes Catamaran Cruise which you may purchase on our website.
MeganCC
Hi, Just got back from Wild Orchid Montego Bay last Saturday. Snorkeling is offered at the resort and at certain time during the day. (Around 2:30) We snorkeled right off the beach and they provided all the snorkeling gear. They are limited to 21 people at a time. A guy is on a Kayak and he leads the way and 21 people swim behind him and he takes you out and you swim around a reef. It was really a lot of fun, we saw different kinds of fish and lots of shells. The trip took about an hour and it was included in our stay. No additional money.
Lalli
It's pretty basic but we didn't have a problem with that. You are provided with a mask, snorkel and fins and swim right off the shore of the resort. They take you out pretty far and there's a bunch of coral and lots of sea life to look at! Everything was free. There are other options that you have to pay for but we didn't look into it.
jessrothy
They offer guided snorkeling right off the beach of the resort. Included with the all-inclusive. There is a reef right there and we saw lots of fish and a sting ray too. They also offer snorkeling from a boat at an extra cost.
BeRyan
No cost for snorkeling if you do the guided tour where you swim out. There is also a paid one. But not necessary. They have all the gear. I would buy the underwater camera before going. They cost $11.99 at Target but $25.00 at resort.
morgancash
We enjoyed snorkeling right from the beach as well as from a boat $$ - not pricey. From the beach, they have an organized - free - snorkeling where they take you pretty far out and you get to see some great reefs, smaller fish. From the boat, fish are bigger, reefs are prettier. tip the guys on the boat and they'll go extra to make your trip great with bait for the fish, etc. All the snorkeling was awesome. Weather sometimes makes it prohibitive and they tell you that at the resort when it's a problem.
Itiswhatyoumakeofit
Yes, it does. My husband took one trip our last day there. They
outfit you with fins and a mask, along with a life vest (although he
said you really didn't need the vest because of the bouyancy of
the salt water). You go to one of the huts poolside and schedule
when you want to go. They offer 3 times daily. The guide uses a
kayak and folks swim alongside til you get beyond the reef. Once
there you're out for about 1 to 1-1/.2 hrs. He said the fish were
plentiful and very colorful. This is the only no cost option.
mrsdolittle714
That means snorkling gear with limited snorkling off the beach - they take you to some specific places to see cool stuff. I didn't do it but a friend did and they liked it. There's a snorkling tour available but thats extra. There they will take you on the boat.
Karina
The free snorkel trips are guided swims from the beach out 2-300 yards to the reef system. Beautiful and easy. Its offered 3 times daily and takes about 45-50 minutes to complete. Something new every time. Barracuda, fish species, jelly fish, sea urchins, sea cucumber, blow fish, coral etc.

What's the best Hotel for single woman to celebrate retirement?9 answers
Hi,
I'm retireing from the military, I'm a single female, and I want to come to Mo Bay, hopefully the Wild Orchid, and celebrate my retirement with a group of single, professional women. I chose Mo Bay because I've vacationed there before, but not on this level.
The Wild Orchid has everything we want, but my concern is that women out to have a good time, who are responsible, and want to have a grand, luxurious time. So would the Wild Orchid be able to cater to our wants, and needs to have a good time w/o any hassel?
7 years, 87 months ago
Sandy
Dear Sandy,
Congratulations on your upcoming retirement! Secrets Wild orchid is a great place to kick back and celebrate, adults only and full service. An added advantage is full access to the neighboring property, Secrets St. James. You get two for the price of one! I would suggest you call one of our experienced destination specialists to discuss any specific requirements you may ave in planning your trip
ccsusan1
I traveled to Wild Orchid last year with two girl friends. We are all professional women from Maryland and Georgia. We had a great time. There were a lot of couples at the resort during the time we traveled. We only saw one other group of single women but we went in December right before Christmas. The staff will share with you places to hang out that is safe. I expected to see more singles but didn't but despite that we had a great time. Make sure you set aside a day to go to the spa.
SimplyBlessed
I went with my husband, but there were a lot of single women there. And they looked like they were having a really good time. I had a great time with my husband, but they sounded like they were probably having a better time!
morgancash
Sandy, Just got back from Secrets Wild Orchid with my husband. It's an awesome, new resort. Great dining/entertainment with 9 restaurants and outside bars. Very safe. It's like a wonderful secluded city on the beach & very protected/gated. But depending on what you are looking for, it is mostly all couples. Hope this helps.
caribemama
You won't get any hassel at Wild Orchid and you will have a great time. Ugrade your rooms if you can and you'll really enjoy it more if you spend time in your rooms. You can do as much or as little as you like at this resort and have a fantastic time. We saw a group of single, older women when we were there as well. Not much of a "singles" resort so you didn't see the typically hooking up going on if that was your concern.
Itiswhatyoumakeofit
Absolutely, go for it! The spa is fabulous for pampering yourselves,
the restaurants are wonderful and good variety. Book at the Hibachi
Grill restaurant for your group and an entertaining time.
There are plenty of seats/lounges on the beach and at the pools for groups to congregate together and the swim up bars are great!
You won't have to worry about being harrassed like you would outside of a resort. Bring some good sunscreen and book before their rainy season and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
mrsdolittle714
I think Wild Orchid would be a great place for you and the ladies to kick up your hiles.. this place is very laid back and yall would have a ball...

Dress Code for Women at the Restaurants?11 answers
I read that Men must wear slacks & collared shirts--No tennys or sandals. What about women? Are we allowed to wear sandals with a dress or slacks, etc.?
6 years, 81 months ago
nita
Did not note this before we left so I packed no slacks for my husband! They are quite relaxed about their dress codes-thank God! We ate in almost all the restaurants. I would suggest collared shirts for evening dining and I wouldn't stress the foot wear at all.
kedar
Dress code policy for Secrets Wild Orchird. Most of the restaurants require casual attire for breakfast and lunch and casual elegance for dinner. Below are the descriptions provided by the Secrets Resorts:
Casual
Bermudas (long shorts or capri pants), sneakers/ tennis shoes or sandals. No sleeveless shirts for men. Ladies must wear a bathing suit wrap or cover-up.
Casual Elegance
Sneakers/ tennis shoes or dress sandals, dress shirts with short sleeves and collar shirts.
No sleeveless shirts or flip-flops and long pants required for men.
Formal
For men, long pants and collar shirts; dress shoes.
For women, blouses, skirts, slacks or dresses; dress shoes.
MeganCC
No dress code seemed strictly enforced. If you are overly dressed, you will be one of the few. Sandals and dress slacks would be fine.
Itiswhatyoumakeofit
Yes, you can wear sandals. The men can also wear khaki shorts at all of the restaurants as long as you eat outside, which we did and it was very nice.
Jamaica4ever
Yes, women can wear sandals, flip flops...anything really.
Nasia
Yes, you will be fine. Don't worry about it..they don't enforce the dress code like crazy.
kszymczak
We just got back and I saw mostly sun or maxi dresses and sandals.
You can also wear a nice pair of slacks or dress shorts with a top
and sandals.
mrsdolittle714
Dress code is not inforced at all,,,most girls do wear some kind of dress though. I seen many guys wearing shorts and sandals..
SB12
Yes sandals on women are acceptable. I wore them every evening.
LadyNRed
For the evening men should wear slacks and collared shirts, women should wear dresses or skirts. As long as you are not barefoot I don't think they care about footware.
savannahtraveller
They were saying closed toe but I went to couple of them wearing fancy shoes with open toe and they did't say anything. I think as long as it's a heel and you are wearing nice slacks/dress you'll be fine

Staying at Secrets Wild Orchid---what's the approximate distance, time, & cost per person for a Dunns Rivers Falls excursion?5 answers
6 years, 78 months ago
Nita
It is approximately 98.3km or 1 hour and 45 minutes from the resort to Dunns River Falls. The cost per person depends on what type of excursion you purchase and what tour company you choose to purchase your excursion through.
KristinCC
It was $120 per person and we went to Dunns River Falls, Reggae Beach, and intertubing down a river-we left at 7 AM and got back around 6 PM
Sarrus
If I am remembering right cost was 120.00 per person and travel was about 45mins. The bus ride was fun. Good music and the bus driver was entertaining. She gave us a tour in a sense by pointing out markers such as Bob Marleys mansion. You'll also go snorkeling and after that, you'll enjoy the party barge, serving drinks, on the way back to beach side. Dunns rivers falls was gorgeous and fun climbing the fall. The escorts took pictures of my husband and I which was a plus. Well worth the cost and very well organized.
Ilona
Roughly 1-1/2 to 2 hours away, but full excursion would take longer of course. Approx $130 pp.
JoeJoe
Me and my wife did an excursion to Dunn River Falls and swam with the dolphins at Dolphin Cove. It cost us $140 each. Completely worth it. We got picked up at 7:20 am. But we had to go to other resorts to pick up others. We did not get to the falls till 11:30 so be prepared for a long trip. But the tour guides were great and made the trip fun. You actually get to see more of the coast. The falls take about a hours. We left Dolphin Cove at 4:30 and got back to the resort at 7. Secrets is the first to be picked up and last to be dropped off. Totally worth it it though. bring money for lunch. And you will get swamped by vendors. Also, bring at water camera.

NFL Network - Cable?5 answers
My planned travel dates will include a must see Thursday night NFL game. This game is only showed on NFL Ticket and NFL Network. I heard the hotel shows NFL games, but I'm wondering if the bars show the Thursday night games, or if they have the NFL network in the rooms - Cable?
6 years, 78 months ago
Dani
The resort has advised that they have the Sports Channel but do not subscribe to NFL Network or Ticker.
ccsusan1
yes, there is cable in each room, however, i do not know specifically about nfl network
MrsShields
I am not sure if they show all NFL games there; however, I can tell you that we watched a NFL game while we were there on a huge screen on the beach. It was awesome.
Ilona
The cable in the rooms were very good, you shouldn't have a problem seeing the game. They also did a movie size screen for NFL on the beach one night we were there, and I do believe that was Thursday.
JoeJoe
The Monday night game was on the big screen at a bar and we watched the Thursday night game in our room.

Secrets Wild Orchid does not really serve any American beers, mostly just Redstripe. As far as the top shelf liquors, you may need to get that information directly from the resort. Their phone number is 876 953 6600.
Thank you.
JanelCC
Red Stripe, Appleton Estate Jamaica Rum and Heineken. Not to sure of the american beers. We only drank the ones listed throughout our time there.
Ilona
Budweiser available. Most top shelf liquour available in Piano Bar and in Hotel Bars. Off and jamaican liquours found at beach and pool bars, but the great Appleton Rum available everywhere!
DSB14
The only US beer I saw was Bud Light, but their Red Stripe and Heinekins aren't bad. Their top shelf booze included Jack Daniels, Dewars 12 yr old, Johnny Walker Black, and Baileys Creme,
savannahtraveller
they had miller lite from american beers. they had heineken as well.
not all bars but a couple have crown, absolut vodka, bacardi rum - good stuff.

They have a lot of top shelf liquors. But remember you are in Jamaica and they provide Jamaica products. They try to keep the money in their country.
Red stripe beer and rum are number one. They do have Heineken and some bud products.

This resort does offer Nightly Entertainment. These nightly shows change on a weekly basis. For more information please contact the resort directly.
CaitlinCC
Entertainment nightly. Shows ranged from amateurish to professional. Casino very very small.
Anne77
Very resort-like, ie: a bunch of people getting drunk on free booze and whooping it up. If you want dancing nightlife, go off resort. If you're fine with mixing and mingling and not having to pay for more booze off-site, then the resort is fine. They do have the usual resort shows booked at night.
travellady
It was O.K. Not a real crazy night life. I would not recommend this resort for younger people.
macc19
There is all sorts of entertainment. There are clubs that play local music as well as the latest hip hop, pop, Jazz, Contemporary ETC. There were late night beach volley ball competitions. There were performers (singers, acrobats, Dancer's). The night life catered to all preferences.

Does the hotel offer upgraded rooms at a discount upon arrival?7 answers
Does the hotel offer preferred rooms at a discounted rate when you arrive? Booking it together seems really pricey. Also, what is rate for a preferred room vs a junior suite?
5 years, 69 months ago
Yoshi
Rates vary depending on the time of year you travel, the number of people traveling with you, and the specific category. There is not always a set price difference between the regular rooms and the Preferred Club rooms. We recommend, if you prefer to be in the Preferred Club section, to book this category at the time you make your reservation.
LaurenCC
The hotel does offer preferred rooms at a discounted rate but is on a first come first serve basis. You would be taking a chance if you wait til you arrive. Depending on when you book your trip should also be considered. It also depends on who you know that can make a bigger difference. (Presidents can make a real impact)! The room rates vary during the year.
CeeCee7777
We were able to upgrade to preferred at a slight discount when we arrived to St James so I assume you can do the same at Wild Orchid, so long as there are rooms avail to upgrade to. Room rates vary so check out the website.
travellady
Yes for a price. You can up grade to the restaurants and beach side for free. I would not suggest this resort to people under 30. The only difference I could see in the rooms was location.
macc19
I asked if we could upgrade to preferred at check in and was told none were available - fully booked. So in this case I assume you can when they are available. No idea on the cost.

What's the difference between Secrets St. James & Wild Orchard?6 answers
5 years, 68 months ago
Reading PA
Both resorts are on the same complex, however, St. James tends to be a bit quieter as the restaurants and bars are located closer to Wild Orchid.
MariaCC
Nothing. They are on the same property and use the same resturants, fitness center and spa. Wild Orchid was built first so it's closer to the resturants. St James was built later and is marginally nicer and a little quieter. It's a slow 7 min walk to the restaurants from St James. Each has it's own set of pools and each has a reserved pool for the upgraded preferred people.
travellady
Secrets St. James is a separate group of buildings located a little further from the restaurants than Wild Orchid. Both of the resorts utilize the same restaurants, bars, activities, spa, gym. There are more secluded beaches for Preferred Wild Orchid and Preferred St. James. If you don't want to hear the bumping of music at night, then stay at St. James.
EandB
Saint James is a little farther from the main area.
macc19
St. James is further away from the restaurants and the night life but only by a few hundred yards. There are some activities that are offered to Wild Orchid guest but not to St. James. Wild Orchid guest have no limitations.
HappyBlessedLoved
St James is a bit father from the restaurants.... Otherwise it is all the same resort.

It around $260-300 it's really nice ./ but I mean, we didn't do it because we already thought all the dinner places were really nice.. Plus you always have dinner with your husband/wife everyday.

This resort does not offer a complimentary shuttle service to and from the airport, however, when booking through CheapCaribbean.com we can help you arrange transfers.

Yes, for a fee. We booked a private shuttle, just the 2 of us, it was about $100 round trip. Worth it in my opinion. We learned quite a bit from our driver.

House wine only is included. Its not terrible, just not great. They will push other wines, terribly expensive, until you learn the trick, ask for the house wine. A bottle of Bogle Cabernet was $52, or about $13.00 per glass.

Yes, but you must pay for a decent bottle of wine. Sorry.

Junior Suite Ocean View?? Is it Really?4 answers
How much of an Ocean View is the ocean view suites at Wild Orchid? Do I have to stretch my neck to see the ocean or just get a glimpse through the palm trees....or am I close and have a great view?
4 years, 53 months ago

Ocean Views and Ocean Fronts are separate room categories. Ocean Views offer a view of the ocean at some point when looking out your window, while an ocean front displays nothing but the ocean.
For further details, please call us at 1.800.915.2322.

We stayed in a Jr Suite Ocean View room for our honeymoon. Our balcony overlooked the pool area and ocean. The resort is sort of U-shaped so there will be a few different angles of views but each ocean view room will be able to see the ocean easily.

New to "All Inclusive"5 answers
Do you tip or is this included in "all inclusive"?
4 years, 51 months ago
Tx
Gratuity is included when booking All Inclusive therefore tips are generally not expected. However, it is not uncommon for one to tip the bartenders/wait service, maid service, or bell service. This would solely be at the guest's discretion.
CCGreg
All of your taxes and gratuities are included in the package price. If you wish to add an additional tip it is up to your discretion.
KristenCC
Tipping isn't expected. We tipped at dinner if the waiter was just fantastic. Most people don't tip. I saw a few people tipping the waiter/waitresses that brought their drinks out to the beach.
Marisol99
Tips are included. However, we tipped for great service. Not all the time, but to reward those who really made us feel special. This is a poor country and I feel a responsibility to spread around a little love.
Libbi
Me personally i always tip . but it is included u dont have to tip. if u want to then make sure u bring 100 singles and 20 fives .

Is it worth it to upgrade to preferred?5 answers
Also what is the main difference between the 2 resorts (SJ and WO)? There is not much of a price difference so which one is better to stay at? We are booking with another couple.
4 years, 50 months ago
help
Secrets Wild Orchid tends to be more lively where as Secrets St James is more laid back and quiet. It is more of a preference whether or not if you chose to upgrade. The added features include Complimentary Internet access in-suite, upgraded mini bar, private concierge service and exquisite deserts and liquor in the Preferred Club lounge are just a few of the luxurious treats offered.
KristenCC
Short answer, NO.
It's not worth it and they don't check your room key which is the only indicator as to who is preferred and who is not. The only thing about the preferred is the different beach area. Save your money
itsmeandyb
We just returned from a week at Secret Wild Orchid, and it was wonderful! In general, most all of the restaurants and ALL of the entertainment venues are on the WO side. The SJ side is close to the spa & gym & tennis courts, but otherwise would be the "quieter" side....even though the WO is not a loud or rowdy environment, either. It's actually one continuous property and guests are free to enjoy the beaches and other amenities of both the WO and the SJ; however, I would personally recommend the WO!
willbeback
We stayed at WO. There are both on the same grounds and have access to all the same restaurants, pools, bars, etc. SJ is a little bit further from the main block of restaurants but they have their own pool, beaches, and pool side restaurant for lunch and dinner. The resort has beautiful paths which we walked ALL the time even though we were at WO and close to all the stuff so I dont think staying at SJ would be a problem. I don't know anything about preferred pricing; from what i could see they had a separate pool and beach but all the same restaurants

So my fiancé and I booked a Preferred Ocean view suite for our honeymoon in November. I thought the concierge was the "butler service" but sadly found out that I was incorrect and it's an extra fee of $150 a night. Would the resort offer this as a free upgrade when we check in since it's our honeymoon? Is it absolutely necessary if they don't offer it? How does this resort make our honeymoon special for us? Thanks! Also, what excursions do you recommend or should we stay away from? Is there an option for horseback riding? Thanks!

Hey Jersey, I don't know if they would offer that as a free upgrade. We stayed in a Preffered Ocean View Suite two weeks ago Apr 8-14 and the butler suites seemed to stay filled the entire week. There are not many butler suits in the building so I don't know if they would upgrade you. But, it never hurts to ask. We were upgraded from a Garden View Suite to the Prefferred Ocean view Suite without asking, but there are more of them then the butler suites. The preferred building is four stories and the butler suites are only on the ground floor. If the butler service is improtant, ask and if they say no, just pay the $150 a day (if available). If there is a cost factor involved save the $150 a day and use it on side trips. You already have a concierge at our service to help you.

My recommendation is that you book your honeymoon elsewhere. This place is BORING.

Unfortunately we are unable to hold a reservation without payment. However we do sometimes have a deposit option available where you pay 100% of the airfare, insurance (if applicable), a $29 deposit fee, and 10% of the remaining costs, and the final balance is due 21 days prior to departure. Also, there is the 24-hour cancellation option, where, on qualifying bookings only, you can cancel within 24 hours of booking for full refund. Please call in to 800-915-2322 to speak with one of our beach experts for further details.

Agent held my reservation for a few hours, but I’m not sure I’d booked my flight choices yet. Holding reservations may change your flight fares. Not sure!

They offer snorkeling and paddleboarding I believe, all included in the vacation package. Motorized sports are an additional charge. I went snorkeling and it was really fun.
They do have a nightclub on site, it's called Desires and I never went so cannot speak to the experience

No nightclub on scene but it's beautiful , not roudy as some resorts which is nice , But absolutely beautiful

whats the party scene like?2 answers
Im planning a girls trip for spring 2018 with women ranging from 25 -55, is there enough activities for us all to enjoy? Is there a good party scene at night for the younger ladies of the group? I also read a review that breathless has a big foam and lingerie pool party, are we able to go over for the party since they can use secrets facilities?

Just got 9/9/17 and had a wonderful time. I would say the atmosphere is more couples only. I did heard that breathless was more of the party crowd, also heard they can go topless/nude. Hope this helps.
Amy2323
Yes you can visit any of there resorts , there are 3 all in that same closed off property , wild orchid is the best in my opinion because you are closest to all the resteraunt and shops vs having to walk quite a. It from the other resorts
