Secrets Capri–Cancun, Mexico

Our friends, Dick& Laura, have vacationed with us many times. This year they used the referral program from their membership in Unlimited Sharing to afford PajamaGal and me a discounted rate to spend 7 days at the Secrets Capri, all-inclusive resort in Cancun.  This was one of the best vacations we’ve had.

All of the personnel at Capri could not have been more genuinely friendly, helpful, and eager to ensure our stay was, in a word, EXCELLENT!

To secure our discounted rate, we were obligated to attend a 90 minute sales pitch – and after reading quite a few forum posts I was apprehensive – in a prior life I’d sold timeshare memberships, and knew the high-pressure tactics. 

My apprehensions were completely unfounded and unnecessary.  The presentation and tour of the Secrets Maroma resort was exceptional.  Our representative, Antonio, was professional and courteous.

The folks we met were mostly near our age (no children were allowed at Capri – Secrets has other resorts for families with children), and most were friendly.  I made a new friend from Great Britain, Neil, whom I joined each morning on the beach where we snapped hundreds of sunrise photographs.

…and the FOOD!  One of my joys is cooking….and eating.  The food at Capri was exceptional!  Here are some of the dishes…
