Secrets Capri





      Secrets Capri Riviera Cancun
We have been here at Secrets Capri now for a little over 24 hours and it is just wonderful. Our travel day was very easy when we arrived check in was quick and we got upgraded to a pool view Jr. Suite which you can see the ocean from the balcony The rooms are very nice and a good size 427sq ft. We have a four poster king bed, sitting area, a large marble bathroom, and a very nice balcony.

    Beach
The resort has a beautiful white sand beach dotted with palm trees. The beach is the length of the resort with plenty of places to sit in the sun or shade. The beach is also wonderful for long walks as you can go at least a mile either direction from the hotel. Secrets beach is by far the best of any of the resorts in this area. Waiter service is available on the beach but the bar is just a short walk away.

   Pool
 The pool is in the center of the resort and very large. Its divided in the middle which I found interesting, as one side is heated and the other is not. The swim up bar is on the heated side. The have plenty of floating loungers to relax and soak up the sun.

  Activities
Each night room keeping puts the Sundial in your room with the next days activities, entertainment, weather, news, and announcements.
There is plenty to keep you busy if you want to from yoga on the beach, bingo poolside, volley ball, dance lessons, Spanish lessons, water aerobics, and so much more. Besides these activities there are plenty of water sports available, kayaks,  boogie board, snorkeling, catamarans, sailboats, windsurfing, and more. There really is something for everyone. I have just been enjoying swimming in the crystal clear water and soaking up the sun so far but have lots of time.

 Restaurants
There are 6 restaurants to choose from and specialty nights. We will not have the time to try all of them but so far we have enjoyed the ones we did.
 For breakfast there is buffet with everything you would want including lots of Mexican items. I love the spicy sauces on my eggs in the morning. By the beach there is a ala carte restaurant open as well. Coffee and danish is available as well in many spots around the resort. If breakfast in bed is more your speed there is 24 hour room service.
  For lunch there is an indoor buffet which i am sure is wonderful but I prefer eating by the beach. Seaside grill has lunch and at night becomes the steak house with inside and balcony dinning. Cactus club off the beach is where we liked.
 They also come around the pool & beach with carts fruit, sandwiches, and today burgers.
 Late afternoon there is tea and goodies.
Last night we had dinner at Oceana restaurant which is their seafood one. I had lobster salad, seafood soup, and grilled shrimp & scallops. It was all good. Another option last night was the chef choice buffet server by the pool. It looked good with lots to choose from. We went for dessert which was yummy. Tonight we are going to try the Himitsu  pan-asian. Tommorrow Portofino italian.

  Bars
Again the are plenty of places to get drink to sit and relax around the resort. They also give you a mini bar in your room that is stocked daily. The house wine here is some of the best we ever had at an all inclusive. They also have top shelf liquors. Last night we had gray goose martinis

  Overall this is a wonderful resort and we are enjoying every minute.
More to come.
