![]() Single-serving resort friends are made and laughs are had. As I mentioned before, it’s a routine and lifestyle that is very very easy to get use to.Īs the day grows more mature, and the Presidentes and rum lubricate the mood, people begin to open up. Once you get too warm, simply jump in the pool, swim up to the pool bar and order whatever your heart desires. Fun, but relaxing music streams through the air as the Caribbean sun warms your body. The pools are lined with shade umbrellas and soft loungers. I’m talking about the three main pools that connect with infinity-edge waterfalls. It’s impossible to resist, it pulls on you like a magnet. The Pool Scene at Secrets Cap Cana Resort It’s a great way to relax and talk about all the fun things that happened during the day, and then plan out the next day. Me enjoying a little Brugal Anejo, while Castaway Crystal sipped on champagne. We found ourselves wanting to crawl into one of these couch-like lounge areas more and more as the trip progressed. It’s a great area to relax in before or after dinner. Some built into the walls, some sit over the small decorative river that runs through the lobby, and some that over look the pool areas. Scattered about this large lobby area are little nooks and crannies you can relax in. It’s a huge, long, palm-thatched corridor that starts at the drop off area and ends at a scenic view that looks over the 3 main pools and the blue water of the Caribbean Sea. The entry way to Secrets Cap Cana is AMAZING. No, I definitely did not sing, but Castaway Crystal grabbed the mic and laid down a cover of I Want To Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston.ĭesires was definitely a highlight of our trip. It started slow, just a hand full of people singing, but as the Presidentes started to flow and the crowd grew, the singing and dancing started to heat up. And guess what? They have karaoke nights! After dinner on our first night, we headed to Desires to see what the goings ons looked like. Just to the right of the main entry way and looking over the pool deck is the Desires Music Lounge. Have I ever told you Castaway Crystal is a karaoke superstar? She is! She sang for me on our third date and I was hooked! I only wish we could have tried all the restaurants. Then at Portofino I enjoyed a fall-off-the-bone tender Osso Bucco dish that was equally as explosively good. We did Hibachi style at Himitsu and the food was dynamite good. Of the three, I’d say it was a tie between Himitsu and Portofino. Here are the restaurants and then I’ll let you know which ones we dined at.ĭuring our 3-night stay, we dined at El Patio, Himitsu, and Portofino.

Crystal sipped champagne all day and didn’t think twice. No running tabs, no tipping, no skipping the steak and lobster dinner because you want to save money. ![]() What does all-inclusive mean? It means you can have anything you like, at any time. We definitely loved this aspect of the resort. The only splashing was by the people enjoying the energetic water aerobic class. Castaway Crystal and I have a word for these kids…Destroyers of Peace. It means no screaming kids running around the pool deck, jumping and splashing around like wild crazy animals. (It doesn’t mean clothing optional, we got asked that a few times.) Let me spell out exactly what “adults only, all-inclusive” means. This was not only our first trip to the DR, but it was our first experience at an adults only all-inclusive resort. ![]() Secrets Cap Cana is an adults only, all-inclusive resort that sits just south of Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. Something that is very very easy to get use to. Imagine waking up in the morning and the hardest decisions you have to make are whether to choose the beach or the pool, what cocktails to have, and which of the property’s 6 dinner restaurants to choose from. ![]()
