  A wonderful time/ just what this year needed

  My wife and I left right after Thanksgiving- what with all the COVID restrictions- it was quite a chore to get there / tested 3 times in 5 days- but it was definitely worth it . The accommodations were fantastic- We stayed in Ti Fey 1 and it was a perfect spot - secluded in the jungle yet having a view of the water. The staff was amazing- so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Meghan was so helpful and intuitive. She actually knew our wants and needs before we did . Lenita was so passionate about her job and gave us great suggestions for our daily excursions. All of our drivers and guides were friendly, very helpful and safety conscious The accommodations were more than we could ask for - The bed was so comfortable/ outdoors shower was a delight , the kitchen was as upscale and professional as you could want and the highlight was our own plunge pool - as relaxing as we could want. The food weather prepared by Meghan for breakfast or the kitchen staff for dinner was delicious. Our daily excursion whether hiking in rain forests with Dr Bird or a moderate hike to the waterfall was a real challenge but a real feeling of accomplishment. We have stayed in luxury resorts all around the world and it was best and most relaxing place we have been in. T

  Nature & Well Being when you need it most.

  We had a fantastic stay at Secret Bay in early January. We set out to recharge, reconnect, and relax. This is THE place to do just that, with total seclusion from the outside world --but lots of great support from the incredible staff. Picture this : you wake up every morning to the sounds of waves, seeing the birds fly by your cliff side perch and the smell of breakfast freshly made in your villa ! All you need to do is make your way to the table, and then decide if you'll do "nothing" or go get a couples massage, or private yoga class, talk to the chef about dinner and lounge by the beach or your private plunge pool. We choose Dominica specifically because of its excellent record with COVID. They've had less than 100 cases in the past 10 months, and no active cases when we were visiting. You can get to Dominica by a connecting flight from Barbados --so that means everyone on your plane was tested 3 days before departure, and the same with flight to Dominica. You then have a rapid test on arrival and are kept in a safe bubble within the resort, and tour operators that have been specially vetted. The place is amazing - the owners have created a private paradise that is geared to each individual guest. My suggestion is go! stay as long as your internet connection will allow you to stay away from home, and breathe it all in. This is a gem !

  #1 resort in the Caribbean and now we know why!

  We recently traveled to Secret Bay for what we thought was a weeklong relaxing getaway and ending up on a weeklong expedition! We arrived with only one scheduled plan and ending up filling every day with amazing outdoor adventures thanks to the wonderful work of the Concierge at the resort. From hiking the waterfalls, swimming through Titou Gorge, spearing lionfish, and even swimming with the Sperm Whales (by permit only and she was able to get one last minute for us!) We stayed in Ti-Fey 1 overlooking the bay and Portsmouth. The view from the Villa is breathtaking and can be seen from every location in the Villa...even the showers! The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you would need. Our attendant had our Villa stocked with all the items we had requested and made sure we were set with everything we needed each day for our excursions. The grounds of the resort are maintained so well and filled with the most beautiful landscape. The Villas are all spaced out to where you felt like you were the only one there. Zing Zing is the only restaurant in the resort and we didn't mind that because it is one of the best we've been to. Chef Fabio prepares all local foods and did a superb job. His 4 course prix fixe was delicious and a great choice when you don't want to make any decisions! If you're looking for luxury but in a more secluded rustic setting then Secret Bay is it! Top notch service and accommodations without the stuffiness of most 5 star resorts.

  A Slice of Heaven in the Caribbean!

  First of all, let's get the obvious out of the way right off the bat. SB is pricey.....expensive even! I recommend that you not be dismayed by this and adopt the right frame of mind when considering this resort. That means that you should consider this "your trip of a lifetime".....something you are not likely to do over again. Then take a look at the options to make it less painful on your wallet. For example they have a package to stay 10 nights and pay for 8. I believe they also have a stay 5 and pay 4. We ended up adding an 11th night when our airlines changed our schedule and eliminated the last connecting flight on the day of the week we were initially due to arrive and they gave us a 15% discount on that additional day. The other thing to keep in mind is that all gratuities are included in the pricing, a feature which I liked. SB is a fabulous resort....a jewel of the Caribbean and it's recent rating as Travel and Leisure Magazine's No. 1 rated resort is well deserved. The setting is very exclusive. There are only 10 villas set within a tropical paradise, each villa surrounded by lush vegetation. We stayed in Ylang Ylang 1 and it was exquisite, comfortable and very well appointed with your own private plunge pool. The view from our deck was incredible! The beach was a short walk from our villa and it is very private. Water sporting equipment is available and I highly recommend water shoes because the initial 10-15 feet walk into the ocean is a bit rocky. The staff at SB was impeccable....very helpful, friendly and attentive to your every need. They are a big part of what makes this place so special. As others have mentioned in their reviews traveling to SB during this Covid pandemic is a bit of a hassle with all the restrictions and testing requirements which do add to the cost. But one of the upsides is that we had the resort almost to ourselves during our stay. Since each villa includes a fully decked out kitchen another way to reduce the cost is to get your kitchen stocked ahead of time by the resort and cook some of your own meals. But honestly I wouldn't recommend this simply because you are going to miss out on some incredible food at the onsite restaurant Zing Zing. We purchased the breakfast and dinner package which is approximately $200 a day per couple. The wonderful Carina, our housekeeper, came to our villa every morning to make us breakfast and it was always great! Every night at dinner we received a four course meal curated by their fabulous executive chef Pablo. No two dinners were remotely alike. The meals were incredibly creative and full of flavor.....simply sensational! The food at SB is definitely a highlight and the service was always friendly and very professional. The bottom line.....if you are looking for a destination and a trip of the lifetime then SB fits the bill. The staff will also work with you to plan other activities as there is much to see on Dominica, the rain forest island with 365 rivers and many waterfalls. Finally, just a couple words of caution so that you learn from our mistakes. The shower curtain is not securely anchored to the ceiling and even slight tugging will pull it out. I did it twice and was chastised by my lovely wife each time. Secondly, don't underestimate the mosquitos here. They are about half the size of a Midwest mosquito but their bite is far worse.....they are silent but deadly. They are only present at night so don't make the mistake we did by sleeping the first couple nights with doors open to catch the tropical breezes....you will pay dearly.
