Secrets Wild Orchid

Jamaica Vacation Day 4

May 14, 2020 by Alicia Jones 8 Comments

Since we are still quarantined I wanted to finish up my vacation posts. I’m also dreaming of my next vacay whenever outside opens back up. You can read about day 1, day 2 and day 3 by just clicking the days. =D

Day 4 for us was a chill day. I personally feel that it wouldn’t be a true vacation without a couple days of rest and relaxation. We woke up, got dressed for the beach, and headed to The World Cafe for breakfast. I always have a cup of tea and fruit because for lunch I always eat so horrible. Don’t even get me started on the nighttime habits.

After breakfast we hung out at the beach for few hours then I wanted to take photos and pretend I was a model for the day. LOL

I had so much fun taking pics. I can’t wait until I can to that again it was a blast! Oh and very hot! They also have photographers that will take your pics for you and you can purchased them in the gift shop.

After the mini photo session we headed back to the beach for a little while longer and then we headed to the room.

I filmed a lookbook for my Youtube channel, took a few balcony pics, and we relaxed and watched a movie before we went to dinner.

We had dinner at the French restaurant and we sat outside. We were able to watch the circus and enjoy dinner at the same time. Rick James and another lady were promoting the pool party that happens at night over at Breathless. It was a little too chilly for us but we did go over and watch everyone else have fun.

I really enjoyed this day of relaxation. Have you stayed at any Secrets Resorts? How are you doing during quarantine.

Jamaica Vacation Day 2

October 11, 2019 by Alicia Jones 10 Comments

This day was Anthony’s birthday so we did whatever he wanted to do. We started off with breakfast at the world cafe. I got ackee and saltfish. My favorite Jamaican dish. It’s so yummy. I also got fruit as well.

After breakfast, we hit the gym, then played pool. I really like that there is so much to do on the resort. It’s perfect if you don’t want to venture out and would just like to chill and hang out at the resort during your stay. Everyday there is a different activity.

After we played pool we showered and headed to one of my favorite spots which is the beach! Listening to the waves while you read a book is so relaxing.

So after we spent time at the beach, we got hungry, so we headed over to grab lunch. They have a pasta station at the World Cafe which was our go to for lunch. I got a white sauce pasta with veggies and a Bob Marley to wash it down.

After lunch we headed back to the beach for a little while then off to the jacuzzi before going back to the room to get ready for dinner.

For dinner the boo wanted to try out the rooftop bar over at Breathless. It’s called Altitude. To get there we had to walk over by the St. James preferred side and go across the walkway to get there. Breathless is an updated more modern style resort. There we were greeted by Rick James, he is kinda like the hype man. He does a great job. The food at Altitude was just okay, but the drinks at the bar and the entertainment was so much fun! Anthony enjoyed his birthday for sure!

Tip#1 : Tipping is not required but it is very much appreciate. Everyone that works here does a great job and they work hard.

Tip #2 The earlier you ge to a restaurant the better. We didn’t really have a wait but things move a lot faster.

Jamaica Vacation Day 1

October 10, 2019 by Alicia Jones 3 Comments

Hey there beautiful people! I wanted to do day by day blog posts of my wonderful stay in Jamaica.

We had a long day of flying so I was really happy to finally sit down in the Club Mobay arrival lounge. Here we waited for our transportation and enjoyed a nice rum punch.

Once we arrived at our resort which was Secrets Wild Orchid I was very excited. We were greeted with cold towels and a rum punch to sip during check in.

Our room wasn’t ready so we went on over to Oceana ,and had a quick lunch, because we were starving. When we were done with lunch our room was ready so we headed up to our room.

The Wild Orchid Preferred room has a tub on the balcony which is great to soak in during sunsets. (Room Tour post will be coming soon.) It felt so good to get settled and shower.

We were tired from travel so we had a quick dinner at Portofino which is the Italian restaurant. I got a seafood pasta in red sauce which was so good!

After dinner we stopped by the nightly entertainment, where the house band called Pace was singing. The main singer has the prettiest voice and they sing everything from old school to new school, reggae, and pop. I love it!

After the entertainment we we back to the room and we were in for the night. We hit the sheets ready to start a new day.

Secrets Wild Orchid Preferred Side Review

August 2, 2015 by Alicia Jones Leave a Comment

I have been back from the beautiful island of Jamaica for 2 weeks now. I must say that I had the best time! I stayed for seven days. We arrived in Jamaica around 9:21 am. It was no one in the line for customs at all so I could have saved on the Mobay arrival. I’m not complaining though I love a nice drink while I wait for transportation to the hotel. We got to the hotel and walked over to the Preferred side. Check in was smooth. Our room was not ready and we were told it wouldn’t be for a few hours. No problem we went right over to breakfast and then to the gentleman in the red vest and booked a short trip to the Hipstrip. We took care of shopping and got it out of the way. Shout out to Brian! He drove us to Mystic Mountain and was really nice! Shoutout to Hopeton once again although I only saw him once this time he always remembers me and says hello. Let’s get on to the preferred side. I am sold! Haha. I love it there! Our room 1411 had the best view. I got to see the amazing sunsets. The preferred side also has tubs on the balcony. It also has a private beach and pool which was really nice because you didn’t have to search for somewhere to sit there were plenty available. Did I mention the small lounge with a bar and snacks? YES! The preferred side was nice and quiet during the day a little loud at night because it was closer to the live entertainment. No worries man. I would love to stay there again. The grounds are always kept nice. There is always someone who is out trimming or cutting. I have stayed at St. James, Wild Orchid and now Wild Orchid Preferred. What’s next? LOL Ah I can’t forget about Leroy who served us at breakfast and sometimes lunch. He is the best. Always with a smile on his face. He had a wonderful gift for us the day before we left! Thank you so much Leroy! Also I cannot forget about Caulette! She is soooooo awesome! Thanks again Caulette! My favorite places to eat were the World Cafe which is the buffet, Portifino the Italian, and Blue Mountain with the Jamaican cuisine. The have changed the menus in most of the restaurants. Not sure about Seaside grill and Oceana. Overall I had a wonderful time and hope to return next year. It is my goal. Secrets is the perfect getaway for a girlfriends trip, couples, wedding, mother daughter trip whatever suits you if you are 18+. I am going to miss it. I do have one complaint and that is that I am so spoiled that I don’t care to go anywhere else. I could probably move right in!
