When I found out that I had the opportunity to travel to Cancun, Mexico I was so excited. I had not seen Cancun since Hurricane Wilma and I wanted to see all of the new developments and had taken place after Hurricane Wilma. My co-worker Lila Correa and I were both assigned to go to Cancun Mexico for 6 days. Within that 6 days we toured several Palace Resorts, Club Med Cancun, And Dreams Tulum.
The first thing that we must comment on would have to be the issues of security in Mexico. Here at All-Travel.com our first concern goes out to you, our clients. Your safety is important in any destination that you are in. May it be in Eastern Europe or your favorite Palace resort. We are here for more than taking your order for travel. Our e-mails and phones are always on, 24/7, keeping us on top of everything from great destination choices, to the safety of every part of the world. Our company CEO is on several travel committees that also keeps him up to date. We appreciate your trust in us as travel professionals to lead you in the right direction. We work daily with our suppliers, always kept up to date on all aspects of your vacation. During the time that we were in Cancun, there was never a time that I felt threatened, and unsure of my safety. Other than the airport hustlers for transportation or time shares,I never saw anything to be concerned with. My only fear came when I talked myself into standing on that bathroom scale.
Arriving into Cancun Mexico I was really amazed at how quickly and effortless my arrival was. I had heard that Cancun airport has suffered major damage from Hurricane Wilma and had to be renovated, however there were places that I still remembered. Very nice, though! There are plenty of shops, some with the same items that we had seen during our time there, more pricey.
Our transfer went really smooth. We arrived when there was not a lot of traffic. We were staying near the hotel zone so our transfer was only 25 minutes. 45 to 60 minutes should you stay in the Rivera Maya, or Playa del Carmen.
We stayed at the Cancun Palace. The first thing that we were taught was that each Palace has it's own personality of it's own. Nothing is the same with each one. With 660 rooms we stay on the ninth floor, ocean view. Wow really nice and comfy We had the double room still with the Jacuzzi bathtub . Everything that we could possibly need was there, from Farock bathroom amenities that included a toothbrush and shaving kit (it's the ;little things that mean the most)to a fully stocked mini-bar with premium liquor dispensers( American sodas coke and diet coke, plenty of juice, and bottled water) There was also a fruit basket with bottles champagne and red wine. We had robes and slippers, iron and iron board, alarm clock radio and cd player. Don't forget about the turn down service with chocolates on your pillow. The beds were perfect. On the concieger's ;level you have a selection of nine different pillow types. I was comfortable on all three of mine. Beautiful views. We could see everything from the pool to the ocean. Not much of a beach to swim, but beautiful crystal blue. At night we could count the stars. Even though we had more Spanish than English speaking programs there was a flat screen TV, a safe large enough for my laptop, hair dryer, Wi-Fi,and 24 hour room service at no additional cost. Yeah real nice.
There are 6 main restaurants, open from breakfast to late at night. One of the things that I was impressed with Palace resorts was the variety of food. Reservations or time restrictions are required for their a la carte restaurants One night we dined outside at The Steak, I had a t-bone. Another night we were serenaded at Leonardo, where we tasted were introduced with Italian dishes and fine wines. We also dined at Miyako where we had the our own Master Chef, preparing our meat before our eyes. Wow Factor all the way. Service was always top notch. Even at El Mercado, Cancun Palace's main buffet, there were hosts to meet and greet you, escorting you to your table, either inside or out. I've seen plenty of all inclusive resorts that are more seen than heard.
After filling ourselves with all of the delicious food, we were able to schedule a 25 minute spa treatment located in a small corner near the main pool. There is a waiting area with refreshing drinks and peaceful tranquility. My massage was very relaxing, making me want more when my treatment was finally over. You can schedule numerous spa treatments for both him and her.
There are also meeting spaces for any groups may they be large or small. Perfect for families with children programs from age 4 until age 17. While the children program offers much, including a small water park on site, I did not see a lot that would keep my teenager content. There is a room for teens with play stations but I don't see teens hanging out for too long in the kid's program.
One of the main aspects of booking your vacation with Palace resorts would have to be their all inclusive offers that includes exchange privileges with other Palace Resorts
