Secrets Capri - Day 1

Would we send our clients here?...probably not.

Cons
It was the first time I ever had to wait a long time to check-in and it was not that busy. There are funny smells throughout the resort such as mildew, incense, etc. Our room is pretty small and we have a lovely view of the swamp. The drinks are knock-you-dead strong. Now, I realize that I'm a lightweight, but even Margo thought so. I had a French Martini and couldn't drink more than one sip. Margo had a Peach Martini and only took a couple sips.

Can you believe that they have a scale in the room? That's just evil!

The bathroom has no privacy, which I read before coming here, but there are louvered shutters dividing the bathroom and the bedroom area.

While I am a pretty laid back traveler, this resort consistently wins recognition awards for being the best of the best and we I just don't see it. Also, it is not inexpensive and I couldn't see someone paying that much money to stay here.

Pros:
So far lunch was very good. The buffet included Caesar Salad, Cornish Hens, Mushroom Pizza, Pasta made to order, Chocolate Flan, and Sushi (so, quite a variety).

Rain
It has done nothing but rain since we got here. We were hoping that it would be temporary, but we didn't even put on our bathing suits.

Well, we've had a lot of laughs so far and will definitely enjoy ourselves, but this isn't a place that we would recommend to our clients. Fortunately, we didn't have to pay for it.

I gotta go get Margo before she smokes her whole pack of cigarettes!

Dinner
We went to the Mexican/Seafood restaurant for dinner and sat outside. It was very windy, but it was nice. We both had steak and I forgot to take pictures of our food!

After dinner, we went in early because we were tired and there was no entertainment except for a boom box on the lobby floor (LOL).
