| Kyr's favourite beach activity - already on book 3 |
Ten of the reasons why if you are planning a trip to an all
inclusive on the Yucatan Peninsula you have to stay at the Club Med:
1.The only bit of natural splendour in the resort strip.
Club Med is nestled between a fairly protected ocean with the curve and atoll
and a natural lagoon that makes the flora and fauna gorgeous and diverse.
2. The only beach for swimming and snorkeling. After my
beach walk this morning to the
some of the other resorts abutting this end of the ocean, not only are red
flags flying almost all of the time at all the other resorts(meaning you
shouldn’t go in), but there were no lifeguards and no shade for any of the
lounge chairs. The only beach with green flags and vigilant life guards
protecting the beach is Club Med. (They even groom the sand every night which
Kyr says is unenvironmental so we will write them and I’m sure they’ll take
note.)
3.Happy and friendly local workers. They seem relaxed and
not harried, despite the difficulty in tipping anyone and the language barrier.
4. Very attentive conscientious staff. Don’t raise your
eyebrows the wrong way or the General Manager himself will rush over eager to
placate you and make everything right. And those darling G.O.’s(concierge
types) just dance their hearts out every night for our entertainment.
5. Good food with tons of variety. Kyr’s supper last night
consisted of frogs legs, sesame coated tuna steaks, rib eye and chicken nuggets
with fries. Who could dream up such combos? And to please me, steamed cabbage.
Does it get better?
6.It is a paradise for children especially – it is so
delightful to see them running around so freely and happily. Dancing the night
away with such joy. If only I could bring my nieces here.
7. The opportunity to dress up if you want, or not, no
pressure- and just lounge about having snacks and drinks brought to you as you
watch people around just having such fun, and seeming so happy and not that
addicted to their devices.
8. The feeling of safety – always people placed inconspicuously
about keeping vigilant.
9. The sense that there is always somewhere to go, something
to do if you feel inclined.
10. Lots of excursions if you feel like it and the guides
are well versed and seem to take extra care compared to other guiding
operations we witnessed.

#1 Painted toes? You swore to me you'd never!
#2 Feel more than free to bring your nieces next time :D
# 3 It was the best beach in Cancun 25 years ago--happy to see that it remains lovely!
#4 Is there delicious Mexican cuisine at the resort too and how are the margaritas?
The resort life can feel a little institionalized so it is great that you have taken the positive approach which your wise friend also did (me)!
If you like privacy very much, it is better to book a hotel in Playa Mujeres, because the distance from the city is perfect and ideal for an intimate vacation.
If you are a water sports lover you have to book about 4 months before coming to the city to get excellent discounts
Hotels in Cancun has good promotions and discounts, however I advise you to also see reservations stay for different days to escape to nearby places and stay, I recommend hotels in holbox
Club month is one of the best places to spend your holidays and the good thing is that it is close to Playa del Carmen where you can go to the company Playa Del Carmen Scuba and explore the aquatic world of the Riviera Maya
