Hey, it's me again!
Sandeep, I wouldn't say that I am a fan... But, we have really had this resort on our radar for quite some time. It gets top reviews. I have followed all the info and reviews.
Now that the major renovations were completed, a few months ago, we were ready to book this (YES... $$$$) But, if we do this, at this price, I want it to be as close to perfect as possible... so, we are being patient!!!! Have been monitoring the seaweed as well. The thing that I am hoping for is their total personal anticipatory service. Even for those looking for an Adult Only upscale resort, this might not be the one for them... as I am quite sure some might find it too quiet or even a bit 'stuffy' feeling????
Anyhow, this is NOT the resort for the OP and her family.
It is a very expensive, smaller, high-end, spa resort... Adults Only.
It has been mentioned here that "One person loves this place.. others don't give it good reviews.... confusing"
OP, it might seem that way... But I am big on planning, and you learn a couple of things when you do as much researching and dreaming as I have!!!!
1. Throw out the top and bottom 10% of the reviews... both the totally glowing five stars, and the 'Horrible' one stars. These are clearly influenced.
2. Look at the source. There are what we all know as 'Cheerleaders' who will promote their one favorite place, all the time, to almost anyone....
Ignore those. Seriously.
Look at reviews that seem to be more fair and objective. Ones that offer information and comparisons and photos.... Not - "I just LOVE this place!!!! Have to try it!!!! "Don't want word to get out...." while posting over and over.
We have been to Secrets Maroma, years ago. We really loved it!!!! Secrets are very very nice resorts... not just the 'bucket of beer' type of resort. But, out of these types of Nice Adult Only resorts, they do have more of a fun and casual vibe!!! I still remember one of the Activity Directors who was so fun and amazing!. And, we were laid back and didn't really even do any of the activities. We really enjoyed it.
Again, this is another resort that would not be for the OP.
