Close your eyes. Envision a Mexican hacienda. Now overlay it with cool Mediterranean textures, colors (warm woods, yellows) and architecture. Now step on a powdery beach and open your eyes: in front of you are endless teal waves that kiss the shore and linger around your ankles. Heaven?

Capri amazing
It was my first in Mexico and I was a BLAST . The food, people and serive was great .. the only thing is that you guys had to wear long pants and a collar shirt for some resturants . Also the pool closes at 7pm everyday . We should be able too Utilize the pool longer.
If you are looking for a 5 star resort, don't be fooled by the rating given by Cheap Caribbean.This is a 4 out of 5 star resort, at best. The food was okay (I've had better in Mexico). The grounds are very nice and the overall resort is well kept. The beach was very nice, despite the many negative comments on here. Sand is white and soft, water was warm, and seaweed wasn't really an issue since they did a good job cleaning it off the beach. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The size of the resort is perfect if you want a peaceful vacation without a lot of walking. Night life isn't really that exciting so If you're looking to get a little wild and crazy, look somewhere else. Overall, this is a good resort for folks that are on a budget and looking for a relaxing, stress free beach vacation. Oh, almost forgot...the spa is wonderful so definitely go and experience that.
This is a great resort! There are many reasons for that but the best thing about this resort is the staff! I was taken back by how above and beyond they go for everyone. Orlando and Clemente are the best! Clemente is the beach bartender and Orlando serves the pool. Find these two of sit in their section's. They make the experience the best and fun.
The pool and beach are great. People complain about the seaweed but in reality just step over it and walk into the ocean it is not as bad as people say. Also a wonderful thing to do on the beach is rent a cabana! Talk to Pedro, the pool concierge, he will set you up. Worth the money!!!!
The room is great and the beds are comfy! We had a preferred club junior suite ocean view. These are walk out rooms and worth the upgrade. The resort is on the smaller side and from the room we had it was a 1 minute walk to the beach and about 40 steps to get into the pool.
The food was good if you get the right things. Avoid the seaside grill it is just average. The buffet is good and the cafe by the ocean is the best! Get the fish tacos (request they grill the fish and not fry it) , fish sticks ,which are not what you think, they are wonderful lightly fried grouper are great!
Overall this was a very easy place to vacation and relax we will be going back!
Secrets Capri isn't the newest resort in Riviera Maya, but it was very well kept with spacious rooms and unbelievable service. From the minute we arrived and stepped out of our transport, where we received cold towels and champagne flutes, the service we received was tremendous. We upgraded our rooms to ocean view, which was well worth the added cost. Being able to sit on our balcony as watch the ocean was as relaxing as it gets. While I enjoyed the more strenuous activities like beach volleyball with Yoshi (my favorite crew member) and football, my wife did water aerobics and target shooting. When you don't want to do anything but float around the pool (the rubber floats work perfect for holding drinks), Juan the pool bartender was always ready for your next order. If you don't want to get up to get a drink, the servers are alway around to take your order. There's a party side and quiet side of the pool so you can be involved as much or as little as you want. The beach was nice, but the ocean had a little too much seaweed for my liking.
When it was time to eat, the options were plentiful. Reservations weren't needed for anything but sitting at a hibachi grill at Himitsu. We waited about 10 minutes at Portofino, but there's a bar nearby making the wait irrelevant. Get an outdoor table at Oceana and enjoy the ocean breeze. The food was tremendous at all these places. The breakfast brunch had so many options you can't try them all. For lunch, every day was taco day for us. Sometimes we sat at the tables next to the beach and other days we had them delivered to our chairs at the pool. There are so many options you never get tired of them.
The entertainment at night was nice, but nothing spectacular. Overall I would absolutely recommend this resort and would go back without any hesitation.

Dave,
The beach is beautiful, all sand. It is rather narrow, but very pretty and swimming can be done. You will love it and I highly recommend this property. Enjoy!!

You can definitely go swimming at the beach. We did almost everyday. It is soft white sand until approx. 75 - 100 feet from shore, then it turns to clay. It isn't rocky at all though.

wrigley123
The beach is all sand, but does get some seaweed which is raked at least twice a day. We swam in the Ocean almost daily, but you do hit some muck or clay spots. It's probably not the greatest beach in the world in terms of sand, but apparently being close to the reef has a role in that.
Chena
Beach is great and swimming good.

I know they had wireless service in the lobby area but not sure if you had to pay for that use. There also was a room with 3 computers that had internet access.

There are multiple types of scotch from J&B to Johnny Walker Black and even a few other specialties like single malts if you ask. The different bars have some different choices. The lobby bar is a little more refined and has a few nice liquors that some of the others don't, but they all have a good selection, even the pool bar. Here is a photo of the pool bar setup one day:

There is no beach, no sand, and seaweed everwhere
lovebug6710
We were just there last week (5/5 - 5/12/2013) and the beach was beautiful. They have added sand retention devices (large buried sand bags) and pumped a LOT of soft white sugary sand starting from the shoreline all the way up to the retaining wall along the entire beach front. Everywhere you go from the minute you set foot on the beach is nice. There was a lady that came by at least once a day with a rake and a wheelbarrow and removed the little bit of seaweed that washed up along the edge of the shoreline, and there was another guy that came out a couple times a day to clean up any loose trash like water bottles and stuff and keep things straightened up. They have lots of furniture out there that you can arrange however you like - full lie down sun lounge chairs and more of a regular sit-up style reclining lounge chair as well as tables with drink holders. They have quite a few of the big grass "tiki hut" style umbrellas that you can park your chairs underneath if you want to enjoy the beach without sitting directly in the sun. It was great! We spent a couple of afternoons doing nothing but grabbing some towels and sitting under one of the umbrellas with a couple of the sit-up style lounge chairs and having our feet in the sand while the excellent waiters brought us beers, pina coladas, water, food - whatever you want to eat or drink - about every 20 minutes. They have a large designated swimming area in the ocean that is roped off to keep the boats/waverunners out, and the sand out there is also nice. As we heard if there is a really bad storm that hits, and that is pretty rare during most of the year (maybe just late in the summer/early fall during hurricane season?), they can't do much to prevent some erosion, but they have invested in their own sand repair pumping equipment and usually try to have it back in shape within a couple of days. All I know is that it couldn't have been nicer when we were there.
Bigblockiroc454
There's practically no beach to speak of. And the beach that exists is riddled with tree stumps -- we were extremely disappointed.

The beach did suffer some damage due to the hurricanes which hit the area last year. The resort has reported that they are continuing the clean up but that it is usable now. The beach is not as wide as it was pre-hurricane season, however , it is expected that the natural ebbb and flow of the currents, will replace the lost beach over time. Guests are permitted on the beach and lounge chairs are provided.

Any tips on what to pack or not to pack?5 answers
What are items that may or may not be needed for a trip?
5 years, 68 months ago
Chicago
Of course everyone is different and that would depend on your individual needs. The resorts will usually supply beach towels, though there may be a nominal charge or deposit. You should make sure and check to see if there are any special dress codes for the ala carte restaurants as some require long pants and close toed shoes for the men. You may want to bring sunscreen, though keep in mind the airline restrictions on transporting liquids.
ccsusan1
Bring your own hair dryer. They have the tiny, cheap ones that dry out your hair.
Monkey23
bring mosquito repellant if you leave and do an excursion. long pants and collared shirt for men for some restaurants. other than that you get it all.
onebadapple
No need to overpack. Honestly during the day, it's swimsuits and coverups, at night mostly it's sundresses and khakis with polos or button downs for the guys. You don't need nearly as much as you'd think!
LittleSpoon
All you need is like 4 swimming suites, and cover ups and 1 - 2 nice outfits, flip flops, 1 pair of nice sandals to go with your 2 outfits, and one pair of shorts and a t-shirt. LIterally, even your toothbrush is covered.

GinoinChicago
lady,
i was just there in may. beach is not that nice. its small, and not crowded which is a definite plus. the drink service is also top notch. you can hardly finish your drink before someone come by to replace it which more than makes up for the small beach area. there are lounge chairs and grass umbrellas set up. the beach area is raked and pruned regularly, but the ocean floor sand is kind of muddy and squishy in area. my only complaint.

if you stay at the resort there is not much to do at night other than the desires lounge/club which features comedy/entertainment acts, and usually dj or live band music. club closes at 1am.

At the resort itself. Every evening the Entertainment staff has something planned. You get a daily itinerary. There are 2 pool tables and darts at one of the bars. They have dancing and karioke. One of the staff told us they take people out to bars and party with them.

Nothing. They have one lounge that plays oldies music. There are pool tables and things like that but it gets old. It's the only thing open after 6pm besides the hotel lobby bar

how do i get from the airport to your resort?7 answers
5 years, 65 months ago
las vegas, usa
Cheap Caribbean offers round trip airport transfer for an additional cost or you can arrange for alternative transportation, such as a cab.
ccsusan1
buy a prepaid travel arrangement at cancun-airport.com
onebadapple
I've been to Secret's Capri twice now. The first time, we prepurchased a round trip airport transfer through Cheap Caribbean. The vendor, Olympus tours was great. We had two couples in the van with us and had to wait to drop both couples off on our way. (The resort is about 40 to 45 minutes from the airport in Cancun.) The second trip we forgot to prepurchase. I actually thought we did, but looking through the paperwork, I forgot to click that option -- WHOOPS! But it's easy enough to get a taxi through their official taxi authority at the airport terminal. I think it ended up costing an extra ~$50, but we were able to book our trip back to the airport right then. And the trip was direct to the resort. It worked out really nicely.
Enjoy your trip!
LittleSpoon
We booked a shuttle when we booked the trip. Olympus Tours met us at the airport, had a desk at the hotel and were very accommodating!
Gr8jewels4u
Let Cheap Caribbean arrange for the transportation. When you get there, the number of transportation vendors is staggering and they will offer you all kinds of "deals", but by far the best way is prearrange the transportation. If you are really want to go first class, have Cheap Caribbean arrange for a private car to take you. It only costs a little more and the time you save is worth it if can afford it.
Golfguy
I would suggest USA transfers. I have used them twice and they are very reliable and the price is the same if not better than others. It is also a private transfer so no stopping at other resorts along the way.
mes6588
Cheap Caribbean made the arrangements for us (which I highly recommend), but once you get to the airport there are a lot of different shuttle buses and taxis there waiting for you that you can take. Once you are at the resort, the concierge/bellboy services are wonderful and can arrange for any transportation you want whenever you want, as well as 2 desks that are set up by reputable outside companies that will help you book excursions and transportation to or from anywhere.
Bigblockiroc454
Taxi is best. Negotiate price and be prepared to use cash (USD is perfect).
Alternative is arranging the hotel to pick you up, but that may not be cheaper. Also, there are buses/shared ride services, but you will wait for the van/bus to fill up and be stopping at any resorts along the way (takes longer).

What's the weather like towards end of September .?
5 years, 64 months ago

The weather in September is still quite warm with high temperatures around 90 degrees. This time of the year is hurricane season and typically there is more rain during this time compared to the dry season (Jan-April). It is not unusual to see a little rain on many days, although often for just a few minutes.

I was just there last week, it is hot 90+. The clouds come and go and it did rain for about 30 minutes one early evening. Super humid!

We were there Sept. 27th thru October 3rd. The weather was great while we were there, but it rained the day we left, and we heard that it had rained for a few days before we arrived. Do't know if this helps much.

It was warm and sunny, upper 80's
JJMexico
It may give a high chance of rain, but seems to be just a quick pop up storm at some point with lots of sunshine still in the majority. We had perfect weather from 21st-25th and there was usually an 80% chance of rain.

Is all the beer tap beer or can you get it in bottles or cans5 answers
5 years, 63 months ago
Michigan
The resort may vary whether all of their beer is offered via tap, or in cans/bottles, therefore you would be best to check directly with the resort for that information.

I know they at least had Coronas out of bottles, maybe more as well
pbrownw
Yes we were able to get the few brands of beer in bottles.
Golfguy
Bottles and cans. Carona, bud light, Modela
mes6588
No you have a choice. There are some tap beers and they have mostly canned beers because of the beach and pool areas. Only right because they do not want any broken glass any where which makes sense. You will see that almost any where there are pools and beaches. Try different beers you have never tried that's what vacations are all about right?

Which building is closer to the ocean and is it possible to book a room in a particular building?3 answers
When we were visiting Dominican republic, someone listed numbers of building that are close to the ocean for our resort. That really helped - we called the resort 3 weeks before our travel and booked a room in one of these buildings. We also asked for a room with two double beds instead of one king size bed.
Any recommendation for this resort? Is any building/floor better than others? We bought Preferred Club Deluxe suit and we will be there in late August/ early September.
5 years, 63 months ago
Ocean lover
Any special request such as building and bedding are unable to be guaranteed as rooms are assigned by the resort upon arrival at check in.
MariaCC
hotel is in a horse shoe shape and all front /ocean facing and the only ones that were closest to the ocean are actually listed as ocean facing, not partial ocean view. Those are directly facing the ocean and there were like 4 on each side of the ends of the horse shoe. I'm sure they're not cheap...my partial ocean had ocean viewish from the balcony and pool too. The views that have the least ocean view seem to be on the volleyball side of the pool because there are so many palm trees and if you go on the otherside of the pool it looks like you would have less obstructed view of the ocean BUT....all the nightly entertainment is on that side so it's noisey until 2300 (which is okay if you feel like sittingn on your deck in the evening and people watching). I also like the volleyball side because it didnt get the morning sut so I liked sitting out there for coffee and not baking directly in the sun so early where the rest of the ocean facing got all morning sun.

It is all one building. This is a small resort. Ask for the 5th floor, which is the top floor best views and less noise.

You could try going onto the resort's web site directly to see if anyone has posted reviews regarding their fitness center in particular. Or you could try contacting the resort directly to ask specific questions regarding their fitness center to possibly get a better idea of what to expect.

i walked in the sports area to get a yoga mat for my room and it was pretty warm down there and didn't seem well ventilated. the first time to pick it up was early in the morning and 2 guests but when i dropped the mat off when I left at noon it wasn't very cool in there. Lot's of machines, warm water bottles and juice in the fridge though..

Yes. They had quite a variety of machines to work out on and very neat and clean

I used the gym. I see your question was 7 months ago so this may be of no value to you. It was very clean. Large. I used the treadmill and it worked fine. There were free wts and yoga mats some balls steps and a good assortment of weight machines. I think you would be okay.

It would be very beautiful. The ceremony site options are lovely and they do close the beach so that it is a bit more private. I would suggest an early in the day or late in the day ceremony as to reduce the beach crowd and for intimacy.
Great food and private area for after the ceremony if you want a small reception.
Honeymooner2012
When we were there, they had a wedding in the gazebo that was very close to the pool/bar area. It was later in the day, and there were some pretty loud people in the pool. Not sure if you want to hear that during your ceremony.

We just returned from our 10 year anniversary and met a GREAT group of people that were there for a wedding, and were invited... we are now talking about returning for our 15 and renewing our vows! It was beautiful, simple and the stff is amazing there, I dont think you could be disappointed!
Kisrow
They do an incredible job with weddings. There was one when we were there last week and it was beautiful. They have a dedicated wedding planner that is there everyday and can help with everything. Just get a hold of the resort and they will let you talk to her and she can make all of your arrangements for the wedding, taking care of your guests and the reception if you want. I only know this because we took the hotel tour and we were introduced to her.

we witnessed a wedding on the beach while we were there and the Capri did a great job. It was beautiful and then we got to meet the groom and bride. They did a great job

Has anyone had luck with eating a gluten-free diet at an all-inclusive?6 answers
We would prefer an adult-only.
I've read a few reviews online, but hesitate since they tend to mention specific chefs who may or may not still be with a resort.

For specific dietary needs, it is best checking directly with the resort to ensure they are able to accommodate you. The email address found directly on the resort's website, https://www.secretsresorts.com/capri/index.asp, is info.secrc@secretsresorts.com.

The breakfast buffet would be easy gluten free and it is the only breakfast option... The lunch options all have very helpful staff for items that need modification (to be gluten free). And like lunch dinner is ala carte and could all be gluten free.
Also, the chefs speak english and are definitly aware of gluten allergies.
Honeymooner2012
The menues indicate what is gluten free at this resort.

Hi! My husband and I recently went to Secrets Capri for our honeymoon. I have gluten allergies, however all the restaurants are very consious of this. In fact most of the menus indicate what items on the menu are gluten free, and there was plenty to choose from. I had no problems at all and that was my biggest worry! I hope this helps!

What are resort coupons used for?7 answers
Can I use them at the spa? Is it $200 in coupons per person or per booking?
4 years, 60 months ago
Mishy
The resort coupon added value is offered directly by the resort, and, if you meet all of the requirements for the added value, you would receive the coupons at check in at the resort. Most times the coupons are broken down into separate amounts for certain uses - ex. spa, bottles of wine, etc. For information on specific amounts and uses, you would need to contact the resort directly as the coupons come from the resort and all rules and regulations for the use of the coupons are mandated by the resort themselves.
KristinCC
The $200.00 is per booking. You can only use one coupon per person. The highest coupon value in the booklet is $40.00. You can only use one per visit.
Callie
The coupons are per room, not person. Of the $200 you can use $80 on the spa but only $40 per treatment. The spa here is great and includes a free hour of hydro therepy. The other coupons are for discounts on upgrading wine or dinner on the beach.
sophie54
The coupons are broken up into smaller values ($40, $20, $10, etc). You can only use one coupon per treatment, and some treatments don't accept coupons. Ask the Spa directly.
awsonoma
The coupons are used for romantic dinner on the beach, bottles of wine, or in the spa. However, you can only use up to a certain amount per each activity, for example if you are going to book a massage you can only use 40 dollars of the coupons for each massage. So you can't use all the coupons at one time for the complete cost of something.
stretch3
Yes we used them at the spa..
TandT
These coupons are almost worthless. While they sound like a good deal, they limit you on how much of the coupon you can spend at any given location. For example, you can only spend ~$40 of the $200 in the spa. The rest you have to cover yourself -- pretty big rip off.
Dhubert777
The 200 dollars in coupons is per booking and can be used for dinners, spa treatments, bottles of wine, and a few other smaller things. However, do be careful. For most purchases involving coupons, there is a limit on how many you can use (regarding value) per purchase, and you will still owe the remainder of the cost of the purchase after the max coupon limit specified for it is deducted.

Just about anything you want. They have everything from brick oven pizzas to taquitos to sandwiches and salads. They will even bring you glasses of beer or wine (on top of what you will already have in your mini-bar in your room). It is 24-7 room service and normally it is hot and at your door in about 20 minutes.

Just about anything. They have a wide range of foods you can choose from. I know that they have very good traditional buffalo wings. And the best part is that it is all included in your stay

You can order anything from room service that is on the menu. It is all included in your all-inclusive price.

You will have a room service menu in your room. You can get breakfast until 11, after that is lunch/dinner type food and dessert. Breakfast can be eggs, fruit, sweet bread, sausage, bacon, coffee, juice, breakfast burrito. You can always order as much as you want. I honestly didn't order anything but breakfast and dessert from room service. But all of the food there is top notch.

There are normally 7 different dining choices throughout the day. There are 2 nice restaurants that will serve only dinner and require men to wear pants and a collared shirt - one restaurant has gourmet Italian food, one is a hibachi restaurant that does the live cooking (think Benihana). There is a big grill they set up everyday out by the pool that serves lunch with big hot dogs and hamburgers and normal grill stuff. There is a restaurant by the beach that serves a nice sitdown lunch with sandwiches like buffalo chicken, salads and some different seafood dishes and then turns into a steak house at night. A nice seafood restaurant for dinner, a beach side patio that serves lunch and has everything from hamburgers to fajitas. They have brick oven pizzas, snacks like chips with FRESH guacamole (very good!) or little taquitos. There is one buffet restaurant that is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner that has about everything you can imagine, it is all very good and fresh and their menu changes every day from bar-b-que night to Mexican night. There is a huge variety of food and it is all wonderful. They know that their main clientele will be American, so they cater to us with foods that we would like, plus some of their local specialties that are more like American versions of Mexican food. There are several places you can go eat from about 6 AM to 11 PM, and room service is 24-7. It is all good!!

Dress code specifics?5 answers
I have looked on the Secrets Capri Riviera website in regards to the dress code at the different restaurants at the resort. Many of them say "Bermudas, long shorts, or capris." Does this apply just to men? Or can women wear shorter shorts to the casual dining restaurants? I just wanted to check so I don't pack shorts that I can't wear!
4 years, 52 months ago

The resort's page states 'Casual elegance' meaning long pants are required for men and no sleeveless shirts or flip flops are permitted. For more information regarding the resort's dress code, we do suggest contacting them directly as they would be best to assist. The email address found directly on the resort's website (https://www.secretsresorts.com/capri-riviera-cancun) is info.secrc@secretsresorts.com.

We quickly found out that women can wear about anything, but they are pretty strict with the men's dress code.
hansen
From what I saw, there really were not strict with the dress code. Only the Japanese and Italian restaurants require long pants, collared shirts, and shoes for men. For women dresses, skirts, even capris. No flip flops in those 2. The Cactus grill has no dress code (by the pool). The others you can pretty much wear anything as long as you are not in your swimsuit. No sleeveless shirts in any restaurant for men.
HGaff
Apparently women can wear whatever they want because I didn't see any women turned away no matter what she was wearing. However, I (a man) was turned away from breakfast because I was wearing a sleeveless shirt although I saw a woman wearing a bikini with a fishnet wrap and others with swim suit tops and cover-ups. Go figure!

Yes, it includes alcohol. We were there the end of April/beginning of May for our honeymoon and I ordered every drink I could think of that was possible. They were happy to make them and they all tasted great (try their Tom Collins & Bob Marley they're excellent). They have every liquor you could think of. They have menus for specialty drinks but if you have something in mind that is not on there, they will make it for you and the best part is we didn't pay a dime for the drinks. There were no "surprise" charges on our bill when we checked out. Hope this helps! Happy drinking!!!!

Tamtamoz
While we haven't been snorkeling anywhere else, we have been told by a friend who was a scuba instructor and scuba dived all over that Cozumel is one of the best places for Scuba and snorkeling. We used a company called H2O and did a private 4 person tour that was awesome! Just make sure to bring a shirt for the water or apply lots of sunscreen. We saw turtles, sharks, and even had a school of beautiful fish swim along with us. Was perfectly clear water at some spots and was a great experience.
SteveAlexander
Non-existent. There's nothing to see here other than seagrass and sand.
A proper snorkeling experience requires a site with a healthy and thriving coral reef in shallow waters with almost no current or wind. The Secrets Capri resort is not located near such sites (closest would be Cozumel). And while there was scuba diving available, this was through a 3rd party and not managed by the resort. The scuba diving happened to have strong currents (unknown if always the case) and there were few fish to see in comparison with Cozumel, Cancun, Belize, ABC islands, and most of the Caribbean islands.

Playa Del Carmen is only 10-15 mins away - the shopping is much better and more relaxing than Cancun.

Secrets Capri is closer to Playa del Carmen than Cancun. Since the Cancun Airport is about 35 mins from the resort, Cancun itself should be closer to 50 mins away in light traffic.

Expect a 30-40 minute taxi ride.
Hiring a taxi is fastest (negotiate on price and consider retaining services for later, including the return trip to the airport). I do not recommend renting a car (unnecessary unless you know your way around and absolutely need the flexibility). Other options will probably involve waiting around for more passengers and frequent stops to other resorts along the way (which could extend your door-to-door time to perhaps 1hr or more).

SMOKING3 answers
I have heard that the hotel smoking policy has recently changed. Does anyone know what the new policy is? The hotel now says that it is a "Smoke-free property" but there are multiple interpretations as to what that means. Can you smoke in the room (assuming no)? On your patio/balcony? While walking across the property? Any place close to the pool? On the beach? My idea of vacation is sitting back and relaxing with a cold drink, sunshine, a cig, and a game of cards, however it's looking like I may have booked the wrong hotel for that.

All charges are prepaid so no money changes hands except tips-which US dollars are fine..

Yes. you do not need pesos even when you go into town. Just make sure that you have small bills because they will try to give you change in pesos.

All inclusive means all meals and snacks. The resort should have plenty of vegetarian and seafood options, but i cannot say specifically because the dining menus and selections change often.
CCGreg
Breakfast is no problem, lots of choices! It is meat heavy, but I found quesadillas, pastas and some salads that were good.

I'll be traveling here solo for four days. I'm wondering if I'll be the only one not coupled up, and if there are suggestions on how best to meet people at the resort. I'm thinking dinner for one will be interesting...
