Secrets St. Martin Resort & Spa

Fusion Factor

First time at an all inclusive, the staff was really nice, but the resort definately needs some love. The hallways to the rooms were a mess, but i was happy when the room was in good condition. Reminds me of a carnival cruise ship on land, which we overall enjoyed, but the price was high for what you get. Food was good, not great.

Okay - so it may not be the luxury 5 stars that you would typically get at a Secrets Resort. But its still a great place to be and we enjoyed our week there. The room was tidy - we did have issues with the sink clogging up but they were pretty quick to address the issue. Comfy bed, nice hot water in the showers. No complaints. Staff were nice, will say the service is a bit slow but hey - we're on island time right?! Food was good, drinks were great. Loved the pool - especially the iguana's that would take a dip with us Beach was nice, but be prepared to play the chair game and get up early to save seats. There are not enough covered areas at the back and the pool if you get there later in the day Shoutout to Sunshine at the pool - He's a rockstar

My husband and I recently visited Secrets St.Martin! We were unsure of what to expect , as reviews were mixed, but we were beyond thrilled with our experience at Secrets ! The staff at the resort are so friendly, and always make sure you are taken care of . The food and drinks were also excellent, we did not have one bad meal , and we felt that they really had a great selection to choose from . The location of the resort is probably the best feature. The beach was literally paradise, the landscape surrounding it is breath-taking, and very tranquil we never had an issue with finding chairs at the beach…We read a lot of poor reviews about the resort being run down, however we did not feel that way at all, there are definitely a few things that need a little updating, but aside from that everything is clean and really kept beautiful. We will definitely be returning to secrets st.martin !

Don't believe all the bad reviews, those are mostly from people who are uppity and expect to be waited on hand and foot. We are not those people and we had a wonderful stay. The location is wonderful, it is not too far from the airport (although the roads are narrow and curvy and steep, so if you get motion sickness, take something before the drive). It is very remote, surrounded by lush mountains. The pool is lovely, and huge, although we didn't spend any time in it, it was clean when we walked by it, and there was a DJ playing music most of the day, but it was so big that you could easily escape the music if you so wished. The Beach is pretty close to perfect. The sand is soft and white, and there was no a rock in site when you walked into the water. You can walk about 30-40 ft before it's at your shoulders (i'm 5'6). and it is all sand under your feet. The water is warm, and clear, with the odd fishies, so grab from bread from the buffet if you want them to swarm you. We did this one day and it was awesome. The water is also quite calm for the most part, there was one day that there was quite a bit of sargassum on the shore, and it was pretty choppy, but it was cleaned up the next day, and didn't bother us at all, we just stepped over it. You will need to have someone in your group get up early to secure the "good" spots with umbrellas, because there aren't a ton and there is next to no shade on the beach, so it is better if you have some. We typically went down around 730, and there were lots of spots left. The food was great, and the staff were even better. Remember that this side of the island is technically France, so all staff speak French, but they also pretty much all speak perfect English, so no worries about a language barrier, although you may find some with other guests, as we found that we were definitely the minority when it came to English speaking guests. Lots of French Canadians, and Europeans. We didn't have a single problem with any staff, they were all lovely and nothing but helpful at all times. The rooms were just a standard hotel room, but VERY clean. Every day when we got back to our room, it was spotless. Great balcony to unwind on at the end of the day. Bed was very comfortable (which is surprising for me because i am VERY picky when it comes to mattresses), the pillows definitely left something to be desired, as is the same at most hotels for me, so if you're picky about pillows, bring your own if you can :). If you are like my husband and I and like to watch TV before bed, bring your Amazon Fire Stick or Roku or Chromecast with you. Also if you have Samsung phone, you can screen mirror to the TV and watch whatever you'd like off your phone. Honestly, the only "complaint" i have is the way the resort is laid out, there is a lot of walking, so if you have any sort of mobility issues or injuries that are affected by walking, it can be a bit tough. I had a sore toe, which made walking difficult, and found it hard to get around when it was really sore. The resort itself is on the small side, it is just a big property, so it is a walk to get everywhere. Again, nothing the hotel can do about this! but just something to think about if you're not interested in walking much on vacation. All in all, we had a fabulous vacation. The crowd is older (think 50s-70s) and very laid back, so if you are looking for something with a party atmosphere, this is not it. We are in our mid-30s, but were looking for something more laid back, as that is the type of people we are. All entertainment was typically done by 10:00 p.m., and most people were in their rooms by this point. Another thing to consider! :)

Went for our honeymoon and honestly we had fun because we were together but the rooms weren’t cleaned the shower had hair still in it. Gross. The workers were rude. Only a few were helpful others didn’t care. The bartender by the pool wouldn’t make drinks for me bc she said she didn’t have the products but clear as day I see them. Need a lot of updates . The ocean and beach was gorgeous bc that’s the only nice thing there. The food was not the best. The sushi place was the only good food on the resort and the pizza place where you had to leave the resort. If we do come back to st Martin prob won’t be this resort unless they update it.
