Have been to Secrets resorts 5 or 6 times in the past (our favorites) but this was first visit after the Hyatt takeover. First day was chaos as this resort was very difficult to navigate without a hardcopy map. Instead you were referred to a phone app to download a tiny, hard to read map. Beach extremely narrow and you cannot walk up or down the beach past this property. No reservations at restaurants but one hour wait time at around 7 pm. $190 US $ upcharge for steaks at Embers!!-- or settle for tough NY strip. ALL chairs at all 9 pools were "claimed" by a towel on the chair by 8am every morning. Very frustrating! All vodka drinks, especially martinis had very noticable "watered" down vodka--undrinkable. PLUSES: Superb breakfast buffet, outstanding cheeseburger & fries at Barefoot grill, outstanding menu and food (Salmon with Caper sauce) at Almoro Italian, great taco bar at night in front of lobby, outstanding pools (9), outstanding overall architecture, and superb wait staff. Beautiful rooms with jaw dropping bathroom and shower! Hyatt needs to improve quality of vodka drinks (REAL Grey Goose) and bring the restaurants up to par with their Italian restaurant. And DO NOT USE Speedy Shuttle suggested by Orbitz!!!!!

Major international airlines, including American, Copa and Spirit Airlines, fly in and out of this airport.

Airport Transportation Options

It costs 3.50 USD in local currency, but it can take an hour or longer to get to the heart of Medellin with frequent stops. Also, the minibus offers limited space for luggage, so it may not be ideal for anyone traveling with more than a small bag. One of the most convenient options is to rent a car. Orbitz.com can help you secure a discount rental car from a local agency.

In Medellin, it is springtime year-round. The proximity of the city to the equator means that there is very little variation in temperature. The weather ranges between 60 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit, with an average temperature of 71 degrees. Due to the city's high altitude, the air is typically cool with little humidity. One of the most popular times of the year to visit Medellin is during the first days of August for the local Festival of Flowers.
