Rating8.3Adults OnlyRating8.4Adults OnlyThe activity list covers water sports, racquet sports, fitness, and evening entertainment — everything included except motorized water sports, scuba diving, and the casino. The Five-Star Dive Center is a genuine amenity for scuba enthusiasts, operating at extra cost. The introductory diving clinic in the main pool is free and worth doing if you've never tried scuba.
Central activity pool where the organized games and aqua aerobics run. Gets lively during the day — not the quietest option, but the social hub. Loungers available but popular chairs fill by 9am.
Faces the Caribbean, giving a horizon-level view over the water. The Soleil Swim-Up Bar is inside this pool. Moderately busy during peak afternoon hours. The best visual payoff of the five pools.
A second pool with its own swim-up bar — less trafficked than the infinity pool's Soleil bar. Good afternoon option when the main pools are at capacity.
Restricted to Preferred Club guests only. Quieter than the shared pools, with a hydrotherapy waterfall feature and its own dedicated swim-up bar. The noise level is noticeably lower than the main pool area — worth the category upgrade for guests who prioritize a calm pool environment.
Rentable oceanfront private pool for up to four guests. Additional charge applies. Best for a honeymoon afternoon or a special occasion where you want a completely private swim. Book through the concierge.
Blue Flag-certified beach on a protected bay. Water is calm, clear, and typically free of the sargassum seaweed that affects Atlantic-facing beaches in the DR. The seabed has some rocky and coral areas in certain spots — water shoes are worth packing. Preferred Club guests have a dedicated beach section. Beach wait service available. Complimentary umbrellas and loungers.
Catamarans, kayaks, snorkeling, paddleboarding, sailing, and windsurfing from Bayahibe Beach. All included. The bay's calm water makes this one of the more practical non-motorized water sports setups in the DR — you can actually use the equipment without fighting chop.
Free introductory scuba lesson in the main pool. Good for first-timers curious about open-water diving. The Five-Star Dive Center operates paid dives from the beach — Bayahibe is known as one of the better dive zones in the Dominican Republic.
Organized pool games and aqua aerobics. Included. Run by the activities team, typically mid-morning to early afternoon.
Two courts, equipment provided, complimentary. Usually quieter than the pool — easy to get court time without long waits.
Four dedicated pickleball courts — a relatively recent addition. Increasingly popular with guests in the 40-60 age bracket. Equipment available.
Beach volleyball on Bayahibe Beach. Organized games run daily by the activities staff.
Ping pong, board games, darts, and billiards, indoors. Good afternoon option when avoiding peak sun hours.
Oversized outdoor chess set. A minor but frequently mentioned amenity in reviews — families and couples appreciate the novelty.
24-hour gym with modern cardio and strength equipment. The 24-hour access is useful for early risers before the rest of the property wakes up.
Yoga, aerobics, and Zumba on a rotating schedule. Check the daily program at the activities desk.
Live music, shows, and theme parties at the resort's entertainment venue. Quality varies by night — the themed parties (Caribbean night, Latin night) tend to draw the best attendance.
Acoustic live music sets and outdoor movie screenings. Movies are usually shown on a large screen after dark.
Weekly karaoke nights and bingo sessions. Lighter entertainment options that run parallel to the main nightly show.
Merengue and salsa lessons from the activities team. Popular with couples — usually afternoon sessions.
Introductory Spanish classes and Dominican heritage tours. One of the more educational complimentary options on the activity roster.
Secrets adults-only guests can cross to Dreams La Romana for access to its kids' and teens' clubs and water park. Useful if you're traveling with a young adult or want the water park option. The adults-only designation at Secrets is maintained on the Secrets side.
Open water diving, motorized water sports, and boat trips available through the Dive Center at additional cost. Book at the dive desk on arrival.
On-site casino open evenings. Blackjack, poker, roulette, slots. Additional cost. Optional — easy to skip if gambling isn't your interest.
Tours to Catalina Island, Saona Island, and East National Park bookable through the resort's excursion desk. Saona Island day trip is the most popular and books up — reserve early in your stay.
