Went to the Wild Orchid to celebrate a bit birthday, booked in the preferred section. I had read the very mixed reviews before hand but went with a very open mind as everyone's expectation's are different. Here are my pros and cons: Pros Beautiful location in Montego Bay Butlers - Kenroy and Duran just the best guys you will meet they are five star all the way nothing is too much trouble and they have your sun bed and drinks cool boxes all laid out for you at your requested time. They also booked our restaurants which can be busy - not enough words for them they are amazing thank you guys. Staff were all so friendly and nice all over the resort Food was good in all the restaurants and staff efficient Cons check in took 2 hours - yup 2 hours very very slow and disorganised. After a 10 hour flight this was frustrating and tiring. Room very disappointing for preferred at secrets and for the cost of several hundred pounds per night. Shower head broken and leaking. tiles in shower broken bath dirty All the walls had dirty stains running down them Shaving mirror fixings broken taps stained and need replaced skirting boards, corners of the room and edges of the floor dirty Room cleaning - this didn't happen on 2 of the days and we had to ask for our room to be cleaned Preferred pool edges very dirty and the pool itself not cleaned daily Preferred pool bar - staff not friendly and very slow service - did not see any one smile ever. Appreciate they had a hurricane a few weeks ago but there are large sections of roofing missing from the hotel and some guests we spoke to had to move rooms when a storm arrived as the water came in their lights and vents. Secrets really should have had that roof fixed after that length of time it honestly feels like Hyatt who own them now don't care we have stayed in other secrets resorts which were a different class from this one sadly. We met many lovey other guests staying there but all had the same comments, they would not return to the resort and found it very run down shame as it is a beautiful location and most of the staff were lovely.
