About the Hotel

Caribbean luxe has never been so spectacular as it is at Secret Bay. On the pristine, unadulterated island of Dominica, this boutique eco-luxury resort embraces a diverse environment, with two brilliant beaches and a majestic river. Just 10 minutes' drive from the town of Portsmouth and an hour from the capital of Roseau, Secret Bay is situated clifftop overlooking an expanse of azure Caribbean Sea. Modernly designed villas bring harmony to nature and interior spaces, with open-plan living and dining areas, outdoor showers, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and views of the forest and beaches below. Fully equipped kitchens provide the convenience of complete facilities, while highly attentive yet inconspicuous service ensures that you can relax in laid back style. Allow the concierge to help organize activities - from massage and spa treatments, to restaurant reservations and more. Your smartphone coupled with Bose sound will make staying connected and entertained a pleasure on the high speed WiFi, and a library of games and books offer additional opportunities for unwinding.

Reviews for Secret Bay

Amazing Resort

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

This resort is incredible! I went with 4 friends to celebrate our 35 years of friendship. We stayed in 2 villas. Cliffside Zabuco II and Ti-Fey I. Each villa has its own infinity pool with amazing views of the ocean, the bay and Fort Shirley in the distance. The villas are all very private and quiet. We enjoyed dinner at Zing Zing Restaurant, and spent time at the lap pool and pool bar. Would highly recommend a stay at this beautiful eco-friendly resort.

One of the most beautiful (and Do-able) trip of my life!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

This is truly a 6-star resort! We were invited to Secret Bay to look at their access for wheelchair users and were pleasantly surprised! After being warmly welcomed by staff at the welcome center, and receiving our iPhone for the stay (to stay in contact with staff and our villa host), we loaded into golf carts and headed up the hill. We checked into a 2-bedroom Zabuco Villa on the clifftop, rolled up the ramp to the lower deck and private infinity pool and straight to the elevator! Once upstairs, the open floor plan and wide doorways made it easy to get around. And the 360 degree views! OMG! We ate at the poolside restaurant the first night, Zing Zing and it was of course outstanding. Obligatory food pic attached. And the other super cool feature at Secret Bay is the wheelchair accessible funicular that happens to be the longest of its kind in the Caribbean. Our Villa Host Tashi, was absolutely adorable and took such wonderful care of us. She cooked us a breakfast each morning in our villa, complete with fresh local coffee and fresh squeezed passionfruit juice. Cooking, cleaning, laundry all taken care of upon request! I am told that she can be requested. Our drivers, Ryan & Tyron were also fantastic. They drove us all over the island to see the sights. Make sure you try to get to the Chocolate Factory when you go! And Kharlen, our photographer is responsible for many the amazing shots attached here. And finally our hosts from GEMS, Gregor (& Sandra) and Ryan. They were all so gracious and kind and we cannot wait to return! NOTE: I am a T-12 paraplegic and a full-time wheelchair user. I am also an adventure and travel addict and not your average wheelchair user. While this Island would not be considered accessible by American standards, there are a lot of things about the island that are "do-able." Please feel free to contact me if you want to go but you are unsure if it is for you. I promise, it is worth it!

A Dreamy Experience

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Wow, Secret Bay truly exceeded our expectations. The resort is so natural and beautiful. The villas and buildings truly blend in with the nature and eco-friendly feel of the property. Everything was extremely clean and flawless. The food was outstanding-every meal we ate at the resort was delicious, unique and fit for a foodie. The craft cocktails were wonderful as well. Our Zabuco II villa Host, Martina, was very sweet, accommodating and wonderful. She made us some delicious breakfasts! Our favorite was the Salt Fish with Johnny Cakes. Jacob, with the bell staff, was also a ray of sunshine and was always so friendly and happy. We loved having the on-call concierge with the iPhone given to us during check in. That was extremely helpful and kept things stress-free. The daily morning affirmation texts were such a nice touch. The only things I would add to the room are darker shades covering the bathroom windows, some extra towel hooks or shelves and a full-length mirror. A little more guidance on the quantities/sizes in the pre-stocking amenities and guidance on how to tip for the taxis, tour guides, etc. would be helpful as well. We truly loved the setting of the resort and felt lucky looking at the gorgeous views every morning. We had so much fun seeing the birds, hummingbirds, iguanas and lizards every day. The snorkeling and access to Secret Beach was also a huge plus. Breathtaking. I could go on and on. We loved this experience! We would love to go back someday!

Fantastic! Beautiful, relaxing, and off the beaten path...

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

We had a wonderful, relaxing, trip to Secret Bay in Dominica! Too many highlights to fully enumerate, but chief among many: our wonderful villa concierge, Martina, and the villa itself, and its views, oh those views. The staff in general are excellent and attentive, and thoroughly easygoing and fun to chat with, as were the personnel of the excursion/transportation group associated with Secret Bay. We especially loved Randall who served as our roundtrip transfer driver from the airport to Secret Bay and back, and made that drive so much more interesting and educational. We also had him for our day excursion to some sights... excellent. Highly recommend snorkeling (don't forget sunscreen before doing it!), and kayaking, as well as trying to restaurant, Zing Zing, for a few dinners. Very good food, fun staff, and worth the, albeit spendy, price for the prix fixe 5 course meal. Overall, we highly recommend Secret Bay, and hope to return in the future.
