I was there this Jan, it was great. I would recommend spend a little extra to upgrade the standard room redemption. The only complaint was that it no longer provide access to Ziva as the management has changed. The view, service and food were great. Another thing you may need consider is the location. Secret resorts are usually away from the hotel zoom. I enjoyed the easy bus transit in the hotel zone with a lot of things to do nearby.
