Great video - just stayed here in May for 25th wedding anniversary. Really enjoyed it a bunch. Headed back next summer for sure.
Thanks for the kind words and checking out the channel!! Glad you guys enjoyed it! It’s a great spot! ☺️
Thank you! Great video! We are headed the
Have fun!! Thanks for watching!!
Hi there! How’s the entertainement at Secret Royal? And also the food? Is it good? We are thinking of going there this coming September. Thanks!
Do you know what was renovated in SRB. Wish you recorded more of the beach and ocean, how was seaweeds. Thanks
Hi Eva!! The rooms, restaurants, lobby and most common areas went through a full renovation. SRB used to be the neighboring resort (formerly a resort called Now Larimar). Secrets moved SRB to the old Now Larimar, fully renovated it, and opened up a Dreams resort where the old SRB was. So it was a pretty big overhaul. The beach was very deep with fluffy sand, very very nice beach. Seaweed wasn’t bad. They actually had a floating barrier a few hundred yards out catching it before it got to the beach.
Klasse gemacht gefällt mir außerordentlich gut Best Regards from Germany LG.Pidi
Danke Sehr!! Thank you so much for checking out our channel!! ☺️☺️☺️
Good video thanks
Thanks for tuning in! ☺️
What time of year was this video taken? The weather looks amazing, I’m trying to plan a beach wedding at Secrets Royal PC and I love their Jr Suite with King bed and indoor pool!! 🤩
How was the room service experience? Also wondering if you would need to reserve chairs on the beach? Loved your video!
Hi! Thanks for stopping by the channel! There are plenty of chairs at the beach you shouldn’t have a problem getting one. I didn’t order room service while I was there, my friends did and said it was prompt and good quality. Hope this helps, thanks again!
How was the golf course? What were the rates like?
Hey!! Thanks for checking out the channel! We paid $150 a person before caddy tips. It was a solid course, 2nd time playing there! It’s the sister course to the PGA course there.
Is the beach at CC very long for walking?? I like that you can walk for miles from RB
Both are fantastic!! CC is a tad more private, RB has a more upbeat vibe! Both great!
Hi, are alcohols such as grey goose vodka included in the normal all inclusive package or only for preferred upgraded members? Thanks
Hi!! You do get upgraded alcohol selection in the preferred club lounge and the preferred club pool area. Grey Goose is offered there! Thanks for watching!! ☺️
@@PenyakTravel It is my understanding there is premium brand name alcohol throughout the resort but more selection in preferred club areas. Is that correct??

Hi. How about going outside resort, to city center or some minor attraction, is there any transport? Thx
Hi! There’s some stores and things to do, a lot of great golf as well. You’ll want to just grab a taxi from the resort. If you book an excursion they will set up transfers for you.
Is the water deep? Or shallow all the way to the barrier?
Hi! Thanks for tuning into the channel! I swam out there, it’s probably at least 12 feet or so around the far barrier. There’s plenty of shallow water to stand in near the beach. Hope this helps! ☺️
Is the Caddy included with the Golf Fees? Did you book your own private transfer service?
Hi!! We booked it through www.puntacana.com/golf/la-cana-golf-course
Also, I don’t remember the exact cost of the caddies but I don’t believe they were included in the fees. When I booked through the link above I added the option to add the transfers. ☺️
Do you need to have your passport at least 6mths before you travel here?? I'm just now getting mines for the first time for a trip in July 2022
Hi!! Thanks for watching! As long as your passport is valid for 6 months from your departure date you’re fine!
Hi there! Do you know if they serve champagne at the beach bar for non preferred guests?
Hey!! Thanks for watching! I’m pretty sure you can, I saw them making mimosas at other pool bars, I’d imagine they do at the beach bar as well.
@@PenyakTravel Thank you for your reply. Also just wondering why most of the reviews are from people who stayed in the preferred club. Is non-preferred bad?
@@theferm1144 No, I wasn’t in a preferred roomy category nor upgraded, it was great! ☺️
Hi , enjoy your videos ! I believe we stayed here in 2012 when it was Now Larimar, looks a lot different .
We are looking at Secrets Cap Cana for my wife’s 50th in April , Cap Cana is pricing out about $400 more per person than RB
Is it worth it ?
Hi Mike! Yes, this is the old Larimar and the converted the old RB into a Dreams property. Both are great options. The biggest difference is the Beach at Cap Cana is much more private. RB is on a public beach, still really nice though! Hope this helps! Feel free to reach out if we can help! George@PenyakTravel.com Thanks for tuning into our channel!
We’re able to get menus to the restaurant in advance?
Hi!! Yes, they have menus online at the sandals website and when you check into your room on the TV there’s an interactive display which you can find all the menus on as well. Hope this helps and thanks for watching! ☺️
Would you say night life was non existent? Also how was the pool vibe?
Thanks for checking out the channel! Very good nightlife, the small casino helps the resort come alive at night. The night club is very close to the casino. There’s two pools, one quiet and one was more upbeat. He upbeat pool wasn’t fairly tame, yet upbeat. Hope this helps!
How is the wheelchair accessible there
Hi John, there are elevators throughout the buildings and the resort is very flat and easy to navigate. I feel anyone with wheelchair could navigate this resort well. Hope this helps and thanks for tuning into our channel!
Hey- my fiance and I are planning on going here for our honeymoon in June of 2023! How was the pool experience for you guys? We are going to be spending a decent amount of time at the pool so we want to know if it'll be a good time. Also- any other activities within the resort you recommend? Thanks!
Hey Alejandro! There are three total pools, one for preferred guests, one quiet pool, and one more upbeat pool with a swim up bar. The upbeat pool is the largest and its close to the beach. We really enjoyed that pool! It’s a good resort if you’re pool people like me! I would check out their agenda for the events in their central amphitheater. The beach had a lot going on during the day as well. Hope this helps! ☺️
My Wife and I went for our honeymoon , def upgrade to the preferred club, it will make your experience so much better!
Can I ask when you traveled? I do see a considerable amount of the sargassum seaweed on the beach in one of those shots... I am hoping to plan a trip when there will be less seaweed. What month would you recommend?
Also looking at Secrets Cap Cana... Hoping if we decide, that you can help us book the best one for us. I noticed in an old podcast you said that the actually resort at Cap Cana is a big step-up from Royal Beach. I am wondering if the renovations and changes changed that?
Hi! On the seaweed concern it really is random and uncontrollable by the resorts. The time of year really doesn’t impact the odds of hanging it. They did have a seaweed barrier that was helping a good bit. The beach was really nice! I was there in early February. ☺️
@@princesssweetpea9205 Hi! Great question and before the renovations Cap Cana was a huge step up from Royal Beach. Now that Royal Beach has been renovated they are closer in comparison. we would still give Cap Cana a slight edge over Royal Beach, as they have a private beach. But it is much closer in comparison now that the full renovation is completed. Hope this helps and we’d be happy to help you! ☺️🏝✈️
@@PenyakTravel Thank you so much!!!
@@princesssweetpea9205 the seaweed was really bad in hurricane season when we went (August), my wife wouldnt go in the beach water, but the pools were great and made up for it. Not gunna lie though if you want that Caribbean water dont count on it here , also the beach is public so you will get heckled time to time by vendors.
Are the restaurants included or did u have to pay to eat everything?
Hi! Thanks for tuning in! All restaurants and all beverages (alcoholic and nonalcoholic) are included! You don’t need to pay extra for them.
@@PenyakTravel thank you ! Great video.
What is the age range at this resort? My husband and I are in our early 30s and hope to see the same kind of crowd..
Hi!! Thanks for watching!! You will definitely see a very similar crowd. The resort is a good mix, but you’ll see plenty of people your age range! 😊
Would you say the same for 20s?
Hi I’m trying to decide between royal beach and cap Cana for my honeymoon next year. Not sure which to go with. The master suite ocean view is like the perfect room here. To get something like that at cap Cana it’s out of the budget as it’s more expensive. I saw in someone’s video a tour of cap Cana and it looked so beautiful at night as the palm trees were lit, restaurants over pool water etc. looked like a beautiful atmosphere so I am just not sure which to decide. How would you rate the atmosphere at royal beach in comparison?
Hi Lexie! a lot of unpack in the comments section, I’d recommend tuning into our review podcast of Secrets RB and I we go into good detail on the differences. It really depends on your personal travel style. RB was recently renovated (2020), and is more upbeat (casino on site, large amphitheater, good night life), secrets CC is on a private beach, a tad quieter in our opinion. CC Will typically price out a tad higher. If you want something more laid back and like a private beach consider CC, if you want a tad more upbeat, go RB. Feel free to reach out to us for more info PenyakTravel.com/contact ☺️
@@PenyakTravel thanks so much!
@@lexiel2718 No problem, we’ve stayed at both, feel free to reach out if we can help! Thanks for tuning in!
How much did you pay per night? Did you pay for preferred? Was it worth it? I heard it was $100 a day..
Hi! We paid around $230 per person per night (we booked a while ago when rates were still low.) We did not have the preferred package but you can upgrade before arriving or you could get offered it upon arrival. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
Is this a couple only resort? How’s the night life? Crickets
Hi!! They market a lot to couples but we were there with a group and had a great time. I’d say you’d be fine there either way. Unfortunately most of the nightlife we experienced was in the casino, there is a really cool night club above the casino, people spoke highly of it, we just didn’t check it out. If you really want a nightlife scene, you could consider breathless or RIU Republica. Maybe a small trade off on food quality, all depends on your style. Hope this helps! ☺️
Palladium or trs ways a lot better we come to RD we love Rd
Hi ! I’m going on my honeymoon next year, we are looking for very romantic not much into partying.
We would like either Carribean, Bahamas or Antigua. Nothing to loud at night. Just nice and romantic. We’re so confused watching everything and reading reviews. Do you have a hotel and where you highly suggest. Your help would be greatly appreciated
For honeymoons you’ll certainly want adult only resorts, we’d also probably recommend couples only resorts as well (Sandals or Couples Resorts) depending on your budget. This way you won’t have groups or kids at your honeymoon making it a much more romantic experience. There are other good ones as well but much will depend on budget, style of trip (a lot of activities off resort, do you like a nice beach or pool, etc), and what time of year you’re traveling.
@@PenyakTravel ty for the response! We decided to go to Hammock Cove Antigua, it looks amazing! The company owns about 5 different hotels.
We’re going in April 2023. 13 nights . We are just looking for travel agency. We do not want to book it through Expedia. We just emailed the company tonight to see if they handle all of it.
@@Thetruth-tc3nu Sounds good! Our email address is janet@penyaktravel.com and we’d be happy to help ☺️
What would be the price in CAD for a round trip to Secrets Royal Beach Resort in Punta Cana. All inclusive. one week. Thanks
Great video - last time we were there was in 2017 - looked to go back in 2020 when the world went to poop. I can see people are still waring face nappies - can you give some insight into what they made you do in terms of "covid" protocols from when you got to the airport and around the resort please?
Hey Pete! Thanks for checking out our channel! Much of the covid protocols are starting to be relaxed, while I was there it was pretty much wear the mask while walking to your table in a restaurant to grabbing food from the breakfast buffet.
For next month in june 2022. With airfare included too.
Ugh! Why do we need to go somewhere else to find out the details about the resort 🙄 this must be the least informative video I’ve seen on a Secrets resort
Is my third time
