Live Resort Webcam

Postby DoctorandDomina » Tue Aug 26, 2008 1:33 pm

Just discovered an excellent thing! Secrets resort has a live webcam overlooking their pool (good thing DESIRE doesn't eh?) so if you want to actully "see" what the weather looks like before you fly out, you can just have a look here! You'll see the live webcam box on the right side of the page.

That link is to the Secrets resort some 20 miles or so south of Desire- not the new Secrets Silversands next door to Desire. But its still close enough to give everyone a good idea of the weather in the area !

Secrets Topless???

Does anyone know if Secrets allows you to be topless? We walked up to the new one near Desire and it was beautiful!!

We noticed security cameras on the outside of most of Desire's buildings during our visit this July. Never noticed them on past trips. Maybe they have always been there. I know they are not webcams but with the click of a mouse they could be.

We are interested in the response to randyandmissy's question. Does Secrets allow topless?

Yes, it's topless.

We stayed at Secrets Capri last year, after leaving Desire so we would have pictures of a resort to show our familly :wink:. It was topless, but the only people going topless were Europeans of all ages, and Americans in their 60s and above. Secrets is very conservative and somewhat boring, but the food is the best of any all inclusive we have stayed at. I would go so far as to say that the food at Secrets is better than most restaurants (on a scale of 0 to 5, I rate the food at Desire as 2.5 and the food at Secrets as 4). All beaches in Mexico are not topless, and only a few resorts are c/o if they pay a fee to the Mexican government. I understand that toplessness is tolerated by most of the resorts based on the number of European guests.

Additional Take On Secrets Capri

Postby ArizonaAl » Mon Sep 01, 2008 12:52 pm

We visited Secrets Capri in May of 2005, so FunSeekers' experience was more recent that ours. During our visit, the other vacationers were mostly in their 30's to 50's. We didn't find the resort to be boring - just different. Secrets had nightly entertainment that we found to be far better (and more varied) than Desires. The sexual energy at Secrets was (obviously) not even close to Desires. One big difference that we noticed was that Secrets was much less social than Desires. Couples pretty much stayed to themselves. At Desires we met most everyone there - and we have kept in touch and have vacationed with several other couples that we met on vacation.

We did see topless ladies at the beach at Secrets (and my wife was topless at the beach) but not at the pool. As FunSeekers said, the food at Secrets was very good - among the best of all of the all-inclusive resorts that we have visited.

I understand that the prices have gone up quite a bit at Secrets since our vacation there - so I am not sure that we would go back.

We really have enjoyed our vacations at Desires (we have been to Desires Cancun once and have been to the Cabo property twice), but we are interested in trying out other topless or C/O places. We have looked at HBR, but have heard some not so great things about their food quality. We have friends that are going to the Dominican Republic in early December (staying at the Caliente property) and we are anxious to get their trip report to see if that is a place that we would like to go to.

Contrary to what you have heard about the food quality at HBR, we have found the food and service the best on the Mayan Riviera. The food was great and service was excellent and you can eat in the nude if you like. Bring your towel.

Also if you want to go to HBR with a lot of crazy happy nudists check out the Rowdys

Not streaming but closer

Postby nekkidcouple1964 » Mon Oct 27, 2008 7:00 pm

The Secrets cam is cool and live and streaming. But, I agree... a bit far away. Not that the weather is much different.

But, if you want the exact weather from about 2 miles away you can look at the Puerto Morelos cam.

http://www.traveltreasures.com/webcam/

It isn't live, streaming but it updates every 3 minutes. It shows the town square. The building off to the right on the beach is the Pelican restaurant. The tower to the left is the old lighthouse and the pier is right next to that.

Tiny town but worth a little trek to see it at least once. We've been 3 times to Desire and visited Pureto Morelos once the last time.
