Thanks so much Kathy for your candid comments re: Secrets Capri vs. Excellence. After numerous efforts to research the properites on several different travel sites...what you say about the differences is just what I expected. I just wanted to converse with folks that had actually been to either or both. Great to have your thoughts as well. I also wasn't sure which one had the better beach. Beach is important but it's not the whole package!
Pleased to hear that you like the Capri and found it to be intimate. That's what we like however we felt that with the adults only concept even the larger DR property never felt large....it was quiet and relaxing.
With all that I've read I'm leaning towards the Secrets Excellence Riviera Cancun. However I will send you my e-mail for pics...that is so kind of you to share! I've looked at pics on
www.webshots.com and I would love to see yours as well.
Sounds like you have a great time in Sept./Oct. We also get trip insurance each and every time and in fact had to use it in August after the numerous hurricanes in Florida/Caribbean. Glad we had it! Not to mention all the missed flights and connections these days...no fun to fly anymore!
Thank you again Kathy and if anyone else would like to add their comments I would appreciate it.
Have to agree with you and your husband...the Secrets experience is addicting and so far nothing has touched it. Our friends that also went thought the food was far superior to their Sandals vacation where they paid twice what we did and they had a short beach to walk on.... Interesting!!
