We ate there for breakfast every morning and they were so accommodating especial since we used the World Café for our Welcome Breakfast for our friends and family. Dining room staff at the World Café were amazing and remembered our faces every time we came in. He had such a beautiful voice and made us feel extra special. The day after our wedding we were delivered breakfast in bed and with a song. Especially when it seemed we had more of the beach in our room then outside. Natalie was the young lady that cleaned our room almost every day we were there. The room was very nice and our view was amazing. We were offered a drink and a cool towel upon check in because the weather was very warm. The ladies at the front desk were amazing at helping us check in especially Shakitha she was the welcomed us with a huge smile and made us feel like we were at home. We stayed in the preferred section of Secrets Wild Orchid. But ,Secrets Wild Orchid surpassed our expectations ten times over. We knew what to expect a little when we arrived because we read some of the reviews online. 9am,10am and 2pm Overall a great resort!!!!!!! Have fun More Show less we used Kayaks each day( no reservations.first come first served). They have a person with your name and she escorts u through customs. You can use it to arrive also but it didnt look like it helped very much. Used MoBay Club at airport departing ($30 each) and it helped us bypass long security lines and nice louge to relax with free drinks and assotment of finger foods. Luckly our driver (BRAD) was very friendly and stopped where we wanted. Its a long ride(3 hours on the winding roads). About and one hour and a half ride to Ricks Cafe and seven mile beach(Negril).The beach has seen better days and Margaritaville (bar) is run down and only stayed a short time.Beautiful sunset at Ricks Cafe. the roving cart starts about 11:30am.Used this for our lunch each day. Rum Punch was great! 8.Try the Chicken Jerk. Start dinner around 8pm when the outside Music starts. We had our private driver for 7 hours for $140! 6. Nicole at Wild Orchid was fantastic and helped us arrange a private trip to Ricks Cafe and Negril. found out the jamaican dollars is worth 14% less! So u lossing about 20%!!!! the shop owners wanted nothing to do with our Jamaican dollars! 5.Amstar is a great company to work with for transfers to and from airport and special trips. DO NOT exchange your American dollars in to Jamaican dollars at airport!!!! They charge you about 5% to exchange it. fun! Bartering with store owners was one of our most fun experiences !!! 4. Bought a pair of swimwear for $52 and found the same pair at Hip strip for $18 !! You can barter with shop owners( and dont pay 16% tax that the first shop we made a mistake in paying. 3.DON'T buy anything in gift shopps at resort. The driver did waited for use for two hours. We found out after we spent $60 for cab and tip. One in morning an another in Afternoon.(2-5:30). TIPS: 1.No reservations for dinner except Hitachi Grill. Supposedly we had extra alcohol (bottles of rum) and nice view of water. You have a private beach with no music playing and lots of loungers.On the deck you have a tub you can soak in but it isnt a whirlpool(one in bathroom though). The food selection was minimal compared to other All-inclusives i've stayed at. Very clean and well kept property.The staff is very friendly and always willing to help.Stayed in the preferred club that cost $100 a day for each person to upgrade.The preferred club gets you light breakfast, lunch and dinner. found out the jamaican dollars is worth 14% less! So u lossing about. fun! Bartering with store owners was one of our most fun experiences !!!Ĥ. The driver did waited for use for two hours.ģ.DON'T buy anything in gift shopps at resort.
