A Real Glean of Things

One Secrets Capri Riviera Cancun guest, from Indianapolis, was very frank about his experience. He gave a very comprehensive report, which we believe would be very helpful.

He said, we “upgraded to a pool/ocean view. Rooms were very nice, well stocked. Room was always cleaned in a timely manner. Turn down service every night. The only issue was the sliding glass door would not lock.

Hotel Common Areas

The air conditioning was an issue for all the guests that I spoke with. All the common areas were clean and organized. You always saw workers addressing the grounds.

Pool

The pool has 2”x2” tile pieces that line the entire inside. There were many of these tile pieces broken and/or missing. They have the potential to cut your feet, which I saw happen to a few people. Throughout the day there were activities going on that kept people involved. The entertainment staff was great.

The pool bar was OK. It only had one bartender, which caused longer waits. I kind of felt sorry for this guy. He obviously was barely keeping up with everyone. We just went to other bars to get our drinks or ordered them from one of the awesome attendants.

Restaurants

I am kind or a plain person so decorating my plate was a little wasteful. They always tried to make the plates very decorative.

The Japanese place was just OK. If you wanted Hibachi then you had to make reservations at least 2 days ahead of time. I only saw 2 grills. We ordered off the menu. This place was sweltering hot.

The Italian place had great food. The Seafood place was OK if you were able to sit outside otherwise it was also hot.

The Steak place was my favorite. Delicious well-prepared food. Try to get a seat outside. The buffet was great for breakfast but not recommended for dinner. The seaside grill was awesome for lunches.

This was a smaller resort but packed a punch when it came to entertainment. Undoubtedly, it was the best that I have seen of any of the other Secrets resorts. Most entertainment shows were limited to 45 minutes. I wished they lasted a little longer.

There is a hidden Senote that is a 20 minute walk north of the resort. I highly recommend seeing this.

We booked through Cheap Caribbean and took advantage of the Amstar transfers to and from the airport. Well organized.”

This guest gave a fair assessment. But, we hope that this was not a common fair, but a temporary quirk in their wheelhouse operation. From examining a lot of the reviews, the vast majority of them were very positive.

We hope that you found this review to be truly helpful. As you make your decision, about vacationing and avoiding the harsh weathers, with a trip to Secrets Capri Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa.
