What should I wear to the Secrets resort?

Attire Glossary No sleeveless shirts or flip-flops. Dress shorts, khakis, or long pants are acceptable for men. Sundresses, skirts, or pants with a blouse are acceptable for women. Casual: Bermudas (long shorts or Capri pants), sneakers/tennis shoes, and sandals.



Dressing for a Secrets resort involves a "High-Fidelity" transition from beach casual during the day to "Casual Elegance" or "Formal" in the evening. During the daytime, the dress code is relaxed: swimsuits with cover-ups, shorts, and tank tops are standard for navigating the pool and beach areas. However, as the sun sets, the resort's specialty restaurants typically enforce stricter guidelines. "Casual Elegance" usually means long pants or stylish jeans with a collared shirt for men, and dresses, skirts, or slacks with a blouse for women. Some fine-dining venues may require "Formal" attire, necessitating dress shoes, slacks, and collared shirts (often specifically long-sleeved) for men. It is a high-fidelity rule of thumb to avoid wearing flip-flops, sleeveless shirts, or wet swimwear in any indoor dining area during dinner. Packing a mix of lightweight linen, stylish sandals, and at least one "dressy" outfit ensures you can enjoy all the resort's venues without being turned away at the door for being underdressed for the occasion.

However, all of these items belong to the hotel and are meant to stay in the room. Bathrobes, for the most part, should be left behind as well. Many hotels do launder them for the next guest—but in some higher-end hotels, a guest may be given a monogrammed robe as a gift.
