Cozumel, Playa del Carmen

[go go GINA]

Anyone ever been to any of these locations?

Looking to go end of April/beginning of May

Any recommendations as fars as all inclusive hotels to stay at? Or which location would be better? I definately don't want to go to Cancun lol

Probably 7days/6nights

[Vix]

Playa Del Carmen has beautiful beaches...Cozumel is more of a diving location...

ill search some of the hotels i like 2 send my clients-

[go go GINA]

That was the first choice....Playa del Carmen...and we were looking to stay at the Rui (all inclusive Resort) but someone said that it was really boring there....

Thanks for your help, that would be great!

I've been to Cozumel 2 times (on Cruises)

and was in South Cancun last month which is was about a 15 minute cab ride from Playa del Carmen..

I'm a fan of Cozumel, but there was ALOT of devastation from the hurricane.. I was there in Jan of 05 and 06, boy what a difference.. so I'm not exactly sure how built up it may be by now but if you are interested in an all-inclusive i strongly strongly strongly reccommend Secrets Riviera Capri.

The food was insane
the beach was gorgeous
the staff was so nice
and the rooms were clean and romantic :heart

I haven't had a chance to post my pics and full review yet in this forum which i WILl do lol.. but in my opinion there is no place nicer in that area

We went thru DeviousVix and she was moreeeeeeeeeee than accomadating to all of my 94535 questions and needs, not to mention cheaper than what I found on the net.

Good Luck

Playa Del Carmen is dope!

I went last year around the same time and it was great.

We stayed at the Royal Hideaway, which is all inclusive and it was nice.
They dont allow kids...great.
http://www.royalhideaway.com/

Its around $500 a night for a room, but that includes food, booze, etc...they have 4 restaurants. The only thing you would have to pay for is spa shit and if you order a bottle of wine.

As for Playa, the town is great, more of a Spanish feel that Mexico, very different from Cancun.

If you go, hit me up and I can make some recommendations.

I heard Maroma is nice too....how far is that outside Playa?

I love Mexico....I go like 2-3 times a year....usually Cabo bc its so close.

But Playa was such a great suprise.

Nice, I'm going to look up some info on the Royal Hideaway, Thanks!!

No we haven't stayed at any of them but i did read up on some reviews....They are supposed to be 4 and up star resorts. Also 1 of my coworkers has gone to quite a few of their resorts and he LOOOVED all of them :agree

We do how ever plan on using one of their facilities in the near future! :lostit

[sexxncandie]

Wow that Secrets Resorts looks amazing... Joe & I were gonna do Italy this year but for various reasons it may not work out w/our schedules (we wanted to do 2 weeks) so we might do a shorter trip to Mexico instead. I was thinking originally of this resort - I read about it in a few magazines and did some research and love it - www.palaceresorts.com

but seeing the Secrets one now (and the ridiculously cheap prices!!) I might wanna do this instead:rubhands

[joe!]

yeah i need to conveniently schedule the surgery on my balls with my travel :chuckle

Dreams and Secrets are excellent resorts. Secrets is adults only and Dreams is for both adults and children. You should check out the Dreams Cancun Hotel..its beautiful. The hotel is 1/2 in the ocean... :heart

I would pick Secrets/Dreams over the Palace...With out a doubt!!!!

[sexxncandie]

Lol I was gonna keep that private but now that u said it :disgusted

Anyway the more I look at the website the more I am in love w this place.. for the people who went my most important question is how is the food??? Lol. :hungry

The restaurants sound awesome.

The food is EXCELLENT ALSO...Did you see Danielles brief reivew in this thread...lol


I told my friend Nicole about it last year and she went. She had the most amazing time. She said it is VERY CLASSY and the whole atmosphere is just amazing. She also said the food, service and rooms are beautiful. She also said it one of the best vacations she has been on :agree

[MissBrandi]

have u been to both resorts there (Dreams & Secrets), if so which is better?

& Which has better food?

Dreams and Secrets are actually the same owners :)


So i would assume they BOTH have very good food.

[sexxncandie]

Thanks Brandi! Ok between Danielle's review and the pics, restaurants, & other stuff on the website I think I am sold!

Btw Brandi - it looks like Dreams & Secrets both have the same restaurants... but for whatever reason I am more drawn to Secrets (the pictures look insane). I am gonna do some research on reviews & stuff though.

I think we're gonna book :chuckle Thanks guys! lol.

Your welcome.

I really am in the wrong profession.. I should totally be a travel agent. I always find such nice places and send my friends and family there... :blushing


Also....U are better off doing Secrets because its adults only..you wont be disturbed by bratty kids... lol

[joe!]

when we went to atlantis that was my only complaint...all the snot nosed kids that i felt like punching while i was waiting for the water slide LOL

:shuffle

Haha.. and Travel Agents get great perks too!


Yea I was thinking that too about the kids.. last summer we did Atlantis, Paradise Island in the Bahamas and the overwhelming # of kids was our only complaint.. so it would be nice to do a couples resort this year. We're planning for the end of June/beginning of July. (It's annoying b/c we will both be in school throughout the summer so we have to plan accordingly).

[joe!]

there was actually one kid in particular who had like..webbed feet and this annoying voice...i wanted to push him off the side of the damn cliff...

here i am shitting my pants before some enourmous slide and the little prick is questioning my manhood.... lil jerkoff.

[sexxncandie]

:shuffle

exactly.. lol.

[joe!]

last summer our trip allowed us to be like ...kids during the day and adults at night...i think this summer..(since you will be 25!!) we can act like adults all day

[sexxncandie]

I Suppose.. :yousuck

[MissBrandi]

hahaha

thats funny...its a kid water slide and your getting pissed at them :LOL

funny thing is i had something similar happen to me.. i was in universal (my hotel pool) and i wanted to go down the slide and some kid was standing there and i walked up behind him and he says I WAS HERE FIRST....all snotty..im like um okay...


fukin brat, i wanted to push him down at that point... :chuckle

[Vix]

i stayed at the palaceresorts...i loved it-especially the new resorts that have opened up last yr-

Any 4/5 star resort in Mexico is amazing-

Nah, don't stay here.
Is a family oriented (moderate) hotel.
I stayed at riu cancun and cartagena (overall c+).

Playa del Carmen is Gorgeous... a more mature crowd & Def choose Royal.
