Jamaica is famous for its spectacular sunsets. This is the place to watch the sunset with your loved one. I happen to catch these beautiful sunset photos while sitting on the beach. I tried with different exposures while the sunset slowly changed colors over time. I hope you enjoy these.

Part 2: Fabulous Food and Cocktails – Secrets Resort in Jamaica

We had so much food at Secrets Wild Orchid. Since it’s all-inclusive, we were basically eating non-stop and drinking every day. The breakfast buffet offered so much variation, there was always something we enjoyed. Dinner was pretty decent. Some were outstanding especially the Jamaican food. The Preferred Club Lounge always has good snack choices and yummy desserts all day long. I love their finger sandwiches, chicken and wide selection of cakes.

There are five restaurants for dinner which are Jamaican, Italian, Mexican, French and Japanese. My least favorite is probably the Portofino Italian restaurant – that’s because I have been to Rome, Florence and Tuscany. I had so much Italian food in Italy so I am just comparing the food in Jamaica to what I had in Italy. Overall it’s still a good dinner.

Room service was excellent. We had our breakfast delivered to our room and the breakfast at our ocean-facing balcony was a unforgettable experience. Overall it was a great experience and I can’t wait to go back and have those delicious snacks at the PC lounge.

Part 1: Discover A New Paradise – Secrets Resort at Jamaica

Oh Jamaica, Ya mon. What a beautiful Island. Allen and I have been looking forward to this tropical island for months. We were super excited when we landed in Montego Bay, or “Mo Bay” as some may call it. We left customs and went to the shuttle bus that we booked in advance.

We arrived at Secrets Wild Orchid very shortly. It’s an adult only all-inclusive resort. We came with very high expectations based on their site and they exceeded our expectations. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted with bubbly champagne and fresh towels at the Preferred Club Desk. After we check in we were escorted to our rooms and boy oh boy, the room is magnificent with a breathtaking ocean front view. We just couldn’t wait to watch the sunset from our balcony.

The resort is so beautiful and very well kept. I have been to Puerto Rico and Puna Cana in the past, but the beach at Secrets is the most beautiful I’ve seen. I’m not a swimmer nor can I float, so I never set myself into the ocean. However, the water is so clear there that I didn’t mind going inside. So if you like snorkeling this is the perfect beach. With that being said, there are also plenty of chairs and hotel staff by the beach for us to relax and enjoy this island paradise.

The food and drinks were absolutely amazing at the restaurant and the bar. More reviews of the food will be on my next post. In summary, we had real relaxation, beautiful sunsets and an amazing beach. What more can we ask for from this beautiful resort?
