TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

The location of the resort and the beach are really amazing,,, and the atmosphere is also very calm and comfortable. The room was clean and there was a daily minibar refill. However,,, there was a lack of continuity in some services, especially during peak hours. Although the food was good, not everyone was impressed... Overall a good experience, but as a luxury resort,,, my expectations were a little higher...

Overall the Secrets Royal Beach is A very nice resort! We’ve stayed at breathless and the secrets Cap Cana But we loved secrets, Royal Beach the most! For the most part, the staff is very friendly and warm and the food was excellent! The entertainment staff at night needs to acknowledge African-Americans and not just the Europeans!! Our Butler Ishmael was excellent at the preferred club membership and Leo and Wellin from Bordeaux Restaurant were the sweetest and treated us so kindly by going above and beyond!! The beach area wasn’t so welcoming because of the Sargasum this time of year! The preferred pool was an excellent experience, even though the groundskeeper cut a palm branch that fell down in the pool and almost onto my head! It literally brushed my arm!

Secrets Royal Beach is one of the best hotels in Punta Cana. My husband and I have stayed in Punta Cana over 60 times at various hotels. Most were very good but of course some better than others. Secrets would rate in my top 3 for sure. In fact, it just may rate #1. Why? When staying at Secrets Royal Beach Preferred Club, there is access to the Preferred Club Lounge and Pool at the Beach. Also, there is access to the adjoining Dreams Preferred Club areas. I cannot say enough about Sammy at the Secrets Preferred Club Lounge. Every morning he was there with a delicious Bloody Mary and most anything else you could want. He was handsome, professional and most pleasant, almost as if you were being served by an old time David Niven with such charm. What a way to start the day! The pools at Secrets were very good, large and pleasant and included a lazy river. But the best pool was at Dreams right next door with the large winding main pool that you could walk all the way around in a full winding circle which would take approximately one long island iced tea made there beautifully by their swim up bartenders. Entertainment was also a pleasure at both of these hotels and staying at Secrets gives you full access to Dreams restaurants, pools, bars and theaters. The only shortcoming I could mention is the lack of live singers, bands or piano / instrument players to which you could dance. We did not participate in the disco which started at later times as all do. But we did miss dancing opportunities in the early evenings. Lastly, the beach at the Dreams and Secrets Royal Beach, as well as the neighboring Melia properties, is absolutely pure and clean. Unlike many other areas in the Punta Cana, these hotels have put some sort of barrier that defeats any sargassum attempting to enter their waters. It works! All others should adopt it. Secrets was such a find, we will be making arrangements to return within the next month. Highly recommend this hotel.

Dad/Daughter vacation 2026(daughters are 25 and 22). First time here and we had an amazing time. Total relaxation with no schedule to be anywhere. My oldest daughter enjoyed a 2 hour massage while myself and my youngest went to Monkey Land. Location of the hotel isn’t far from the airport which in my opinion makes a huge difference. We did upgrade to the “preferred club” and that’s so worth it. The only thing I’d recommend is to bring a couple of extension cords. There aren’t many outlets in the rooms.

Just returned home from this hotel, the hotel is stunning and the location on the beach is great! The staff are very friendly and helpful and so far the food has been good with a great selection for everyone! Rooms are very nice and spacious inside, however be advised the the tropical view junior suite rooms view is not great at all - when we asked to swap rooms we were told only room available was on the preferred area and that it would cost us £1800 to upgrade which of course we didn’t as not going to pay that kind of money. You also need to be mindful that the hotel is full of loud, rude and obnoxious Americans who take over the main pool/pool bar areas every day and then every bar in the hotel at night. It makes it very uncomfortable and intimidating for those who want a quiet drink in the evening or just to enjoy the activities at the pool during the day. Can’t fault the hotel or staff, just some of the guests!
