Some pictures...

The lobby
View from our room (the water is not clear up close---very muddy)
Another view of the grounds
Vince eating the "prowns"
Dirty patio mattress...
The "prowns"
Portofino, the Italian restaurant


Okay, I realize they do not look bad, but it is not what we were promised.  The very weird thing is that NO ONE IS HERE (that has to tell you something).  I think the other two Secrets are booked at close to 100%.  This is supposed to be their busiest time of year.  
We were the only ones in the huge restaurant last night.  We walked around to see the resort and saw one other couple.  I thought they had a show every night, and maybe they did, but when we walked by the theater it was empty.  Gift shops close early.  
The resort is very nice, but service and cleanliness are not the "unlimited luxury" that they promised us for the huge price we paid.  We could have stayed at any resort like this in Cancun for half the price.  They are all "nice."
Anyway, here are some pictures of the grounds.  There's a picture of some prawns that the waiter talked us into ordering at the restaurant last night.  He called them "prowns," so we didn't know what he meant.  You know Vince--he tried to eat them.  Even he was grossed out.  We should be able to go down to talk to some people when a "manager comes on duty" at 9.  Who knows what that will bring.  We've been really nice the entire time, but maybe we'll have to get mean (you know I'M good at that!)

We'll keep you posted...

Daddy is trying to call. Vonage is 10 cents a minute. So if you have an accurate number to the hotel we can talk.
