Secrets Capri Questions

Hi all. I am considering booking Secrets Capri for five nights in May. Just wondering if anyone who has stayed there can tell me the age group the resort attracts. My wife and I are in our early thirties and are looking for a resort that is a bit upscale, yet still fun. The adults only thing is a big attraction for us, as is a good beach. Any comments would be appreciated.

Hi
we were at Secrets Capri last October (04) and will return this April. We loved it there. Also tried Secrets Excellence this October 05) and perfer Capri. The ages range from 20-60. All couples. You will find many, many couples your age. We are in our 40's and fit in fine.

the beach is nice but the water is not that beautiful aqua color. It is a very romantic relaxed resort. The days have lots of activites you can participate in if you want. The nights are not the party atmosphere but we always head into Playa a couple of nights to hit the clubs there.

We just got back from Capri 12/12. We really enjoyed ourselves there.
Seems that there were people anywhere from 25-65 (mostly 30-50).
Met some really nice people around the pool bar our age(early 40s) .
When you first arrive it doesn't look very fancy from the outside, but as soon as you enter you realize it's a very nice upscale resort. They treat everyone very professional.
Casual dress during the day, long pants and closed toe shoes(men) in the eve.
Nice pool, nice beach, nice bars, and great food(my & girlfriends fav. was the Asian restraunt & room service anytime). We went into Playa a few nights $12 taxi each way, about 10 minutes, would come home 3-4AM and order room service Great!!!!! They had a rock band on the beach one night which was fun. The other nights we didn't stick around. Went to Beer Bucket, Teq. Barrel, ******, Santanaria in Playa We suggest Capri during the day & Playa eve./night!
We didn't use the spa but I did get a few backrubs from my girlfriend at the pool bar!
Free sailboats for as long as you want.
You can run/jog/walk on the beach for miles.
No reservations, no wrist bands.
Capri is small and very nice.
Feel free send a PM if you have any other questions.
Dave

Thanks for the comments. Secrets Capri seems like the perfect fit for my wife and I. Now hopefully, we haven't been too spoiled by the beach at Shangri-La Caribe, and will still enjoy the beach at Secrets.
