Secrets The Vine is adults-only, with ocean-view honeymoon suites, a rooftop and a beach on the open Caribbean. For couples, the rooftop at the last light and the beach after it make a strong session. Sessions start at 245 USD.
Couples at Secrets The Vine get a tower with views, which is an advantage for photos: suites high above the sea, a rooftop and a wide beach. Here is how we plan a session.

Where We Shoot
Your suite. Ocean-view honeymoon suites with balconies give private frames high above the Caribbean.
The rooftop terrace. When it is not booked, panoramic sea views and the last warm light.
The beach. Wide sand and open sea; we finish here as the light softens.

How the Photographer Gets In
How does the photographer get in? As your guest. Tell the Secrets The Vine front desk our name and the time of the session in advance, and we check in at the lobby like anyone meeting you for dinner. A short private session for a staying guest is very seldom charged the outside vendor fee used for weddings, and we confirm the current policy with the resort in writing. Non-guests should plan for a day pass, as our access guide explains.
