You're the best Shammy...we did connect a year or so ago and actually talked via the phone. Instead we went to LaRomana and we did have a fantastic time..have to tell you though the "malaria" scare and infamous norovirus was going on back two years ago when we first went to Secrets Excellence...so how much of that is hype I don't know. I did contract "voodo revenge" when I was in DR the first time but it's the same as "montezuma's revenge" in mexico too. So in any thirdworld country it's a risk...and the norovirus has been an issue onboard ships for quite sometime. Luckily haven't had that one as of yet but our college campus is dealing with it all the time! We do love the DR and the people are so friendly!
Thanks so much for your comments Shammy...still wondering which of the Secrets to book...
beach as you say isn't fantastic but it's long and walkable right? That does matter...short stretches of beach lined with more AIs isn't our "cuppa tea" and we were going to the RH but when I saw pics of the other hotels next door I said forget it! and now the beach issue there.
Thanks also for the hint on the RIU P and the european families....guess that helps us with deciding on the adults only concept. Been there and done that with the kids for years...now it's our turn....and Secrets helps bring out the romance
Any others out there with opinions and comments...greatly appreciated...and we will call you again Shammy when we're ready to book....you do a fantastic job!!!!!! and we really like your honest attitude...you impress us with your business sense! This board is lucky to have you!
