Secrets Silversands Celebrates National Margarita Day

In honor of National Margarita Day on February 22nd, Secrets Silversands Riviera Cancun hosted an interactive Margarita lesson for our guests. We started the lesson by telling the story of how the Margarita was invented. Legend has it that a socialite named Margarita came up with the tasty cocktail during a cliffside party in Acapulco in 1948.

During our lesson, we made taught our guests how to make Tamarind Margaritas and Guava and Cucumber Margaritas! Both versions were very different, yet equally refreshing and delicious. Take a look at some of the pictures from the event:

Facebook Meet-Up Details

Well as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. We had so much fun at our first ever Facebook Meet-up at Secrets St James & Secrets Wild Orchid Montego Bay. Hundreds of Facebook fans came together, all with a similar passion for vacationing at our resorts and enjoying the beauty of Jamaica. We think “Facebook Jim” put the overall feeling of the event into words very well:

“A tremendous time was had by all. We ate, we drank, we danced, we sang, and yes, we even cried. It was a time everyone should get to experience at least once in their lives. Myself, and everyone around me was overwhelmed. Thank you Secrets for all your hard work on this event. You have set the bar high for any future FB functions.”

This may have been the first, but it certainly won’t be the last Facebook meet-up at our resort. Follow us on Twitter and be sure you are a Facebook fan of Secrets Wild Orchid and Secrets St. James to stay tuned for future events. In the meantime, check out the pictures from our first Facebook bash below!

Sharing Secrets at Secrets Resorts & Spas

We’ve launched a unique program at Secrets Resorts & Spas called “Sharing Secrets”. These events are hosted daily by our Entertainment Team who works with different departments at the resort to come up with an interesting theme or resort secret to share with our guests each day.

Some examples include, a “history of rum class” with a head bartender, a “paella cooking class” with a resort chef or a “cigar aficionado course” with a representative from the resort cigar shop. Of course, we can’t forget our “salsa & merengue classes” with our Entertainment Team dancers, as well as our “wine tasting events” with the resort Sommelier.

The Sharing Secrets program typically occurs each day after lunch. It is a great opportunity for our guests to mingle with one another while gaining insight into the “secrets” of a successful resort operation. Check the daily Sundial while visiting our resorts for information about the daily events.
