How to find a good all inclusive in Mexico?
Drew, I hear ya. Don't get me wrong. Unfortunately, there are not many new
[AI] hotels in Cancun. It's just that the newer hotels have a less likely chance of having the AC breaking down or plumbing issues. That's the ONLY reason why I would want a new hotel. In virtually every review I read there is something wrong, usually the AC. Rarely, does someone go into their hotel room in Cancun and the AC or plumbing is fine. The service is not very important to me. If there is something faulty like the AC or plumbing, I expect that to be fixed promptly without any hassle as if dealing with an insurance claims adjuster. I don't want people to wait on me hand and foot and make the centre of attention. The food doesn't need to be great either Good to ok is just fine and "hygienic". I want to go on vacation to relax, not to deal with problems. That's why I've gone away. So, I think I'm being flexible. I'm from the Pacific Northwest. I see the murky pacific water and sand all the time. I frankly, hate it. It's a personal choice. Perhaps if I was in Texas, I would want to see the Pacific since I'm not too far away from the Gulf of Mexico. I recently took an Alaska cruise. It was relaxing, but the scenary was uneventful. Just like home. I felt uncomfortable having someone every few minutes ask me if I wanted this or that. However, if a really good $$$ flight and accomodate to PV comes available during the winter months, I may consider it just to get away from the balmy winters we have. I heard a lot of good things about this town just east of Cabo. The water is much nicer than PV. I think its San Jose Del Cabo I wouldn't really chance not *staying* at an all-inclusive due to my lack of Spanish (yes, we should learn it), but I know sooooooo many people who have returned from the western part of Mexico who ate at the restaurants and got ill. So, I'm even more apprehensive. If I know that some restaurants have good track records (of course there are exceptions), I'm game. But, I have to eat every 3-4 hours so I need a place that will accommodate. I generally look for a hotel that has around the clock food--like many AI's. Sounds like you really lucked out on the Canadian hotel when you went to PV. What is it called and what restaurants would you recommend that don't cost much? "Drew Shuller" wrote in message ... | Pavel, you're asking for a lot. You want a brand new all-inclusive | (everything works) with great food, employees with great attitudes, perfect | sevice, has to be an AI, and it has to be cheap, has to be in Cancun, and | the departure dates and times must be perfect. Never gonna happen. | | That kind of AI deal happens MAYBE once a year, but you have to be flexible | in your travel dates to get it. | | You have limited yourself to much. Ever try to get a good deal on a non-AI? | Or maybe a nice place that's not right on the beach? What's wrong with the | Pacific? I stayed in a beautiful 4 story Canadian-owned place that | overlooked downtown PV. The help was awesome, there were many fine | restaraunts 5 minutes away, and I paid $55/night US. Originally I wanted a | cheap AI right on the beach, but after some research, I found this place | instead...I traded a cheap place on the beach where the rooms were going to | be ghetto, and the help was going to be "on permanente siesta," for a place | where the air worked very well and I thought there for a few days that I was | rich, it was so nice. | | Flexibility is key to getting what you want, always. | | Drew | Austin, TX| | |
