Cozumel is one of our favorite places we've ever visited. We've been there three times and hated to leave every time. We've looked into purchasing property and moving there in retirement.Come stay here in Cozumel. Alot slower paced and more family friendly. Then again I guess Im just a little partial to this beautiful island I call home : )
Sadly we were also hoping to go to an all inclusive this summer in Mexico but have decided to make other plans. A co-worker just returned from one and he has traveled with the military all over the world. He said there is no way you could convince him to return to Mexico.
How about Atlantis in the Bahamas?
Can I ask why?
We just went in april and everything was fine. Same as always. Leaving in a month and have no worries.
just curious.
The US issued an advisory on travel to Mexico. I'm sure you'll be fine if you stay at the resort. My co-worker said they ventured within walking distance to a restaurant and were harassed multiple times by people trying to get money from them. Also, he said while he was there many people were talking about how thieves are stealing liquor bottles from the trash, filling them with boot legged alcohol and selling them back to the hotels for cheap. There was a story in the news recently about a nurse who was served tainted alcohol and almost died. I'm sure 90% of people come back fine but he said he felt like he was always on guard during their stay. He said the resort was nice but totally not worth the concern he felt for their safety. That was his opinion there. I've only been to Mexico once and that was a cruise excursion so I have no first hand experience.
Mexico is off my radar because of the travel advisory, but I really liked the Ritz-Carlton and the Marriott Casa Magna, both in Cancun.
We just booked the Ritz. What's the surrounding area like?
I go to Cancun every year and sometimes do all-inclusive, but the last few times we've stayed at an airbnb. Anyway, my FAVORITE place to eat when not staying AI is across the street from the Ritz, called Porfirios, check them out on trip adviser, the churro dessert is sooo cute! Harry's next door is supposed to be really good as well, but I haven't tried that one yet. Our next trip is in Feb., can't wait!
No I haven’t. If u do a search on TripAdvisor u will see this topic come up. The taxi union is very strong there and doesn’t like Uber and this can lead to issues.Has anyone used Uber in Cancun?
We have decided to spend Christmas in Cancun so we can be swimming instead of shivering on Christmas Day. We will not be leaving our resort. It's DH, DS10 and me. Any recommendations on an all-inclusive resort?
