any comments on Grand Xcaret in Riviera Maya
wassuup wrote:
My husband and I are wanting to take a relaxing vacation where we can lay by the beach or pool, take a tour if we feel like it. My husband does not want to walk a mile to the pool. Does anyone know about the Grand Xcaret have good food and is it a nice place? We went to a travel agent but she was really no help. She gave me a Apple vacations book with all inclusives in it. We would like to spend no more than 3500 that's including airfare from northern california. Please any ideas. I would also consider Jamaica. Thanks I was checking this resort out last year and while searching on the internet I found out that a little boy had drowned in an unsafe pool at that resort. It doesn't appear to be just an internet rumour as it is listed on the U.S. Government web site http://travel.state.gov/family/famil...death_594.html (look for Mexico, and April 26, 2003). More info on his tragedy can be found here http://www.brentmidlock.com/ I have not found any information from the hotel's point of view but since the U.S. Government recognized it as unsafe pool conditions, that was enough for me to not want to go to that resort, especially having a child of similar age. By the way, Jamaica is awesome. The food there is great, the water is safe to drink, nice white sand beaches, warm sea water, friendly people. We had a super time there. |

One has to look "outside the box" in such situations. This is just one example of how bad this resort is. It's truly amazing how many people are so "adventurous" that they are willing to take unnecessary risks or chances knowing [usually] very well that a hotel such as this has had a tragic, careless, and avoidable incident. If the hotel handles matters in this way, I would hate to imagine how they handle other matters. Of course, the hotel is now run by "new management" so everything [must be] fine so book that holiday at this resort...NOT. |
