Holiday Resorts in Cancun

We stayed at the Moon Palace. What an awesome 5* complex it is. When I paid thousands of pounds for this 5* all inc holiday I was a little concerned as to what it was actually going to be like. Would it be worth the money? Would the food be like All Inc in Benidorm? Well the answer is that it was deffinately 100% worth the money I paid. And the food.... well, i've never experienced anything like it! I was eating steak and chicken etc all through the day and into the evening, whilst getting merry on champagne, and a variety of cocktails. There are numerous bars and restuarants, with great friendly staff, that are only too willing to top up your glass! There is room ...  Read the complete review

As you fly into Cancun you get a birds eye view of the man made sand spite that has become the major holiday detination known as cancun. the airport isn't very big or modern compared to large British airports like Heathrow and Gatwick. After a short transfer we started to drop off people at the varios resort that all looked like five star. after arriveing at our hotel the room was of the American standard by which i mean everything was big. Big shower, big TV to double beds and a big balcony of the whites sand that has the most blue sea rushing up to meet it. the beach was ceaned every morning so it was always clean. the local shops were all geared up for the ...  Read the complete review

Barcelo Costa Mexico, Cancun I recently visited Mexico on June 2008 and I stayed in the Barceló Costa hotel. Barceló Costa is situated on the hotel zone in Cancun. The hotel zone is built along the beach so each hotel has got their own section along the beach with a beach bar and sun loungers. The hotel is near Cancun town which has bars, nightclubs, restaurants and shopping markets and a 5 minute bus trip which costs around 30pence GBP to get to. The hotel staff are very helpful and pleasant for example if you are lying on the beach there is one or two staff serving your drinks so there is no need to get off your seat. The staff in the restaurants ...  Read the complete review

Cancun is man made and very Cosmopolitan, therefore I was quite dissapointed that I saw nothing Mexican.... to remind me I was in fact in Mexico! It has all your 'Hard Rock Cafe's' etc and plenty nightclubs, and it's so exciting at night, I nearly forgot I was wanting a more relaxing holiday! Even through the day, they have beach parties everywhere! There is no peace! Eating out in the 'new' Cancun, I found to be expensive but if you go into the 'old town' it is cheaper! Drink is not cheap either, and one night in the old town.....we ordered a bottle of wine at a restaurant......we then saw the waiter running down to the local supermarket, buying a bottle for ...  Read the complete review

We stayed at the Caribbean princess for my honeymoon HOTEL: The hotel was of average standard, the room was OK but the air-conditioning kept breaking over and over The hotel was not on the main strip but was a bus ride away or a shortish walk and backed onto the lagoon The hotel offered canoes but was very scary as just let you go off and there are crocs in the lagoon! The pool was very small, the picture made it look bigger than it was and they did volley ball in it a lot which is ok if you like that kind of thing but not if want to swim or relax (lots of shouting etc) The hotel was not near the beach but had a bus to take you in the ...  Read the complete review
