We’ve been here for a few hours and every moment has been memorable. I’ve visited one of the top hotel chains in the island and I can assure you that Secrets Resort, Montego Bay lives up to the expectation and even surpasses many of the legendary top hotels in terms of service, taste and authenticity. The hotel is smack on the beach, but if you think you’re going to have the standard room and beach package, you’re in for a surprise. In a conversation late last night I said “this hotel is like a city”… and it truly is.
On Thursday, the locals traveled from Kingston to Montego Bay courtesy of the Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB) and upon arrival we were greeted by the wonderful staff of Secrets Resorts. They greeted us with “Welcome Home” and although we were flabbergasted we began to believe it, this hotel is truly divine. The team will be here for 5 days, 4 nights to visit the attractions in Montego Bay, Ocho Rios and Negril – hot spots for any tourist visiting Jamaica. I received the official itinerary hours ago and although the days are filled with activities it will provide the real Jamaican attraction experience to die for.

Welcome Home
The beach at Secrets Resorts
Secrets Resort - Wild Orchid, Montego Bay
Last evening, we had a welcome reception and it was fantastic. The food, entertainment, bloggers, social media gurus, travel writers, executives of the hotel all had a great time. I think the energy amongst us was positive and this trip will be beneficial to all the parties involved.
If you visit Secrets Resort - Wild Orchid you must meet this man, Billy Love.
