COREY'S ODYSSEY SUMMARY
I embarked on a 400 day travel marathon that was intended to span 6 continents, 50+ countries, 200+ cities, and 20 different Contiki tours back-to-back. While the trip was cut short due to COVID-19 (on day 304), I managed to upload 43 weekly vlogs that showcased the people, places, food, and activities that I encounter throughout the journey. I now continue to document my adventures post-Contiki and have rebranded my channel "Corey's Odyssey" to reflect the change in focus!

Great review💯

[@reemitchell1147]

Thanks for posting. I am booked for December and have been waiting patiently for this very video!

[@CVDL]

I hope the patience paid off! Haha. You'll have an incredible time!

[@rilderrdelgado1162]

Great Video and Quality. Thanks for sharing!

[@CVDL]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@contessalouannec8064]

Thank You for sharing. Great stream. Looks very relaxing. LOVE a good hot tub.

[@CVDL]

I didn't film it, but the day that it was pouring rain I spent an hour alone in the hot tub (while everyone else had retreated to cover or their rooms) and it was one of my favorite memories from the trip!

[@debraalonzo1659]

Fantastic video - and great information about this resort.

[@CVDL]

Thanks so much Debra! I'm glad you were able to find it helpful!

[@maria_maria33]

Thank you for this review, the place looks amazing. My husband and I are going to Secrets Cap Cana for our anniversary this November but we have this on our radar for next year.

[@CVDL]

You're welcome! Having been to this resort it makes us want to try some of the other Secrets resorts as well! I've heard good things about the Secrets Cap Cana!

[@HenrySantos-xg8bl]

Excellent 👌 review very well done 👍

[@CVDL]

Thank you so much!

[@nicolef4531]

Great video ! Thank you for sharing ! I agree with the tipping. Please tip the workers, they all work very hard ! Bring lots of 1's, 5's, 10's with you ! CHEERS ! 🍹

[@CVDL]

You're absolutely right, tipping is important! On our trip, we budgeted around $25 a day for gratuities (drinks, restaurants, housekeeping, etc.). Tipping customs vary, but coming from Canada we're very used to it and it makes such a difference for people who work at these hotels. The staff were so good and attentive everywhere we went that we wanted to show our appreciation as much as we could!

[@tamerapratt1641]

Can’t wait to spend my Honey Moon here!!! Thanks for the review ❤

[@CVDL]

I have no doubt you'll enjoy it! Congratulations!

[@Tubeyou72]

Great video thank you for sharing with us, I agree with you on the tipping 1 or 2 dollars goes a long way for this workers I always bring lots of dollars bills when I go to Mexico & punta Cana remember this people don’t make much at those resort!

[@CVDL]

Absolutely! I would say needing to carry cash is probably the only downside at resorts for that reason, but it’s a worthwhile trade off at a place like this where the service was just so good.

[@LindaBarncord]

My husband was sitting next to you at the teppanyaki table. Your review is spot on.

[@CVDL]

Haha yes! I remember you both! I'm surprised you found this video! :)

[@francesmendez6281]

Great video, can’t wait for our stay in June!! Can you share room # for your swim up room?

[@CVDL]

I hope you have a great trip! We were in room 1170!

[@spinedoc893]

Anyone have any comments on how Secrets Tides compares to Secrets Royal Beach and Cap Cana? Personally I prefer the beaches/water in Bavaro and Cap Cana to Uvero Alto area but this resort looks wonderful.

[@kenyacannon1327]

I've made up my mind. 50th birthday celebration is going down at Secrets Tides

[@CVDL]

Hope you have a great time and a great birthday!

[@anthonyenglish4586]

Thank you the video was great my wife and I are going in September resort looks great. After seeing your review of the resort I'm ready to go now. How long did it take to get from the airport to the resort?

[@CVDL]

I hope you have a great trip! The trip from the airport to the resort was about 45 minutes. We had arranged for a private transfer with Nexus in advance, and it was extremely painless (walked out of the airport and found the Nexus team who took us to the transfer vehicle). You can also arranged for a MUCH cheaper shared transfer, though I've done that in the past and had to wait 90 minutes at the airport for another party to join us before we could leave so I wanted to avoid that to be able to start the vacation as quickly as possible.

[@anthonyenglish4586]

@@CVDL Thanks for that info, we always use a private transfer for the exact reason you stated. We can start our vacation sooner and don’t have to wait around for other people to arrive before we can leave on shared transportation.

[@cookymonstar17]

Do you know if there is access to the casino at the sister resorts or is there one on sight? Thanks!

[@jakob9595]

Do you have access to breathless from this resort?

[@ericcousineau4818]

The swim out is shared with the room next door?

[@CVDL]

Our room was shared with only the room next door. There are also swim outs at this resort where you share with multiple neighbours - which is usually how I’ve seen it at other resorts, so sharing with only one other neighbour is actually quite nice!

[@morganhigh18]

What is the website to book directly at secrets tides?

[@CVDL]

I'm not sure if this URL will work, but here: www.hyattinclusivecollection.com/en/resorts-hotels/secrets/dominican-republic/secrets-tides-punta-cana/ If the link doesn't work, you should be able to google "Hyatt Inclusive Collection" and find Secrets Tides under their Secrets Brand page.

[@cherireynolds7261]

How was the nightlife? Entertainment?

[@korinthean27]

Are the spa services included?

[@CVDL]

Unfortunately the services at the Spa are additional. We received access to the water section with our purchase of the Neck/Shoulder/Back massage which was $230USD each (though we received a $40USD voucher for spa services at checkin bringing the price down to $190USD each for a 50 minute massage).

[@korinthean27]

​@@CVDLThank you for the information! Also, may I ask, who did you book your trip through?

[@CVDL]

I booked it through WestJet Vacations. For me here in Canada it was the cheapest option that included the flight and resort itself.

[@yungfuse100]

Is this place all inclusive?

[@CVDL]

Yes, it's an all-inclusive!

[@lucexcellent22]

How was it

[@CVDL]

In summary - it was great!

[@lucexcellent22]

Is there a cigar shop?

[@lucexcellent22]

I’m thinking of going at the end of May how was the weather?

[@CVDL]

@@lucexcellent22 There is a gift shop on site that sells Cigars and there is also Uvero Alto Plaza which is a 5 minute walk from the hotel that sells Cigars.

[@CVDL]

It sprinkled a bit most days but only had heavy rain one day. I believe May is the rainy season in Punta Cana but I believe the rain comes in short bursts and then is sunny otherwise, like it was on my trip.
