"This massive Caribbean resort, which dates to 1982, may not be heaven on earth, but it does have white sand beach, a sea of shaded palapas, and an ocean of palm trees." Full review

Six of the eight restaurants are open 24 hours, and reservations are never required—even at the popular French-inspired Bordeaux (request a cellar table); if you'd rather dine in, room service is unobtrusively delivered through Secrets' signature magic box.
