Secrets

Secrets Resorts Unlimited.....This is not a stock photo......It's a view from the balcony of Room 1910, where Jeff & Carol were staying.  (Jeff is Alex's brother)  Awesome!  It's an all-inclusive adults only resort just north of the Malecon in Puerto Vallarta.
"Secrets Vallarta Bay Resort & Spa is elegantly appointed just a few steps away from famous boardwalk “El Malecón” and its vibrant ambiance full of art galleries, shopping area and amazing night life. All luxurious accommodations are equipped with ultimate gadgets and sophisticated decoration. Some swim-out suites with direct access to pool, overlooking Pacific Blue waters and relaxing beach. The 8-story tower offers all guest suites 24-hour room service, secret box, Ipod dock, satellite cable television, mini-bar refreshed daily and superior amenities. You’ll find unique daytime activities and entertainment, water sports and a fitness centre. To unwind there are crystalline infinity pools, gourmet restaurants and friendly bars and lounges with live entertainment."
 

Jalepeno Surpize!

All the food was included in the daily rate so I was curious about the daily rate and went to their site....SecretsResorts.com.

OUCH.  Standard rate starts at $1000/day.  Now I understand...

Waiters were constantly roaming around the pools refreshing your drinks.  Cadillac Margaritas, Negra Modelo, Tequila Shooters, then repeat....(in moderation)

Large luxury pool/beach towels were carefully rolled, offered and replenished frequently. Special order your 1/4 pound cheeseburger from the outdoor snack bar and grab an ice cold cerveza from the coolers which beckoned you.  Large plates of nachos, see above, filled any possible void in your stomach.  The place was amazing and I really want to thank Jeff & Carol for inviting us.

 

Here's the view from the Lobby, which is located on the 3rd floor.  Again, awesome. Any kind of drink, top shelf. (except they didn't have Maker's Mark)
