The agents stayed at the Secrets Capri property during their visit to the area.
Photos Available
Agent Notes:
General - Trees have lost leaves but have new buds, noticeable improvement daily. Told that could take up to five months for foliage to return to normal. Some ceiling leaks in the hallways as well as the guest rooms. Drywall and Painting is on going throughout the entire day. Tennis courts were damaged and under repair. Work in progress on lobby, glass windows and doors, drywall etc. Huge improvements are noticed from day to day. The majority of the damage seems to be the landscape, beach & palapas. Main ballroom windows boarded up, awaiting delivery of large glass. Carpets to be cleaned of “musty” odor. Crew repairing palapas at 6 a.m. every morning, mostly completed upon our departure. Amazed by the repair work completed during our five day stay. Drywall and Painting in lobby was completed prior to departure. Occupancy is steadily increasing.
Beach - Has expanded.
Rooms - No damage to report.
Restaurants - Operational.
Entertainment - A list of activities was made available, however activities were not taking place. May have been due to the low occupancy.
Staff - Wonderful, top notch.

All restaurants in working order, but some are closed due to low occupancy. The lazy pools were being cleaned...they should be up and running as of today. Several other agents stayed at this property and loved it.
