48th Anniversary!!!!

We love going to Secrets resorts and knew that being there for our anniversary would be a special treat. They go above and beyond to make any special day extra special. 

It started when we arrived a week before the big day. The sign on the door is a nice touch and when we entered the room there were balloons on the curtains.

On November 1st, our big day, we ordered room service breakfast and they even included a bottle of champagne so we could have mimosas. 

We finished breakfast and enjoyed our mimosas on the veranda before heading to the pool to soak up some Dominican sunshine.

We had scheduled massages at the spa for the afternoon. We really like the aqua-cycle they have that we used before the massage. We started in the sauna and steam room and then went through several different water stations. This is not your typical whirlpool, each is designed to stimulate a different part of your body. We then had our massages that were wonderful.  

When we got back to the room Martin our butler had prepared a special treat for us. The bed was covered with rose petal as a special celebration of our 48 years.........

......and the whirlpool was ready for a special bubble bath.

What a relaxing way to get ready for dinner.

Shortly before we left for dinner a knock on the door brought another bottle of champagne and some fruit as an appetizer. 

For dinner we chose Mercure, the French restaurant. Our table was covered with more rose petals. The service was great and the meal was fantastic.

When we finished dinner our waiter brought out one last anniversary celebration, a special cake that he decorated himself. Going to Secrets anytime is wonderful, but being there for a special occasion they really go over the top to make the day the best it can be.
