A world of luxury awaits at Secrets Royal Beach in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, an all-inclusive resort located on the Caribbean Sea with a beautiful sugar-white sand beach and lush palm trees.
This adults-only AAA Four Diamond resort has a romantic feel with secluded pools, heavenly two-floor beach cabanas, picturesque landscaping and modern, chic rooms.
The 639-room resort was the recipient of a $36 million renovation in 2020, which added 90 new guestrooms including suites with private pools, marble floors and hydro tubs. The refurbishment also added several new restaurants, bars and pools, including an Olympic-size pool with an adjacent lazy river and swim-up bar.
The Secrets Resorts & Spas property features reservation-free gourmet restaurants, premium cocktails, casino gaming, a world class spa and a seemingly endless number of daytime and nighttime entertainment options – and it’s just 8.75 miles from the Punta Cana International Airport.
