My wife & I stayed at the Hyatt Cancun Caribe last October. Very nice property, great beach, excellent restaurants. People very friendly. Watch out for time share pitch...avoid!!

I stayed at the Omni in '89 when it first opened when I was on my honeymoon. Because the trip was so long ago, the only recommendation I would make is to be sure your room faces the ocean, not the road for two reasons--noise and view.

We have since had three trips into Cancun but always stayed elsewhere. We flew into Cancun and stayed in Playa del Carmen -- less expensive and more natural. Also no smell from overflowing septic systems. We spent a few days on an island called Hobox. We ferried over to the island with Mexican tourists and a cow. Rooms were $13 a day for the best hotel on the island; building perpendicular to ocean. Food ok, only other tourists were Japanese world traveler and a couple of gay guys evidently looking for a private location. Although no one spoke English and we didn't speak Spanish, we had a great time, and it was like a scene out of a Tex-Mex Western movie. Picturesqe with people visiting on the town square at night and selling their produce there during the day. A memorable experience. Truly unspoiled.

We're going to Cancun in December for our honeymoon. Does anyone know anything about the Blue Bay all-inclusive resort?

Me and my wife stayed in Cancun at the Club Las Velas all-inclusive in April of 1997. The resort was beutiful but it was on the lagoon side, and I would advise anyone who is going to stay on the ocean side. A must side trip would be Xcaret, it was fantastic and an all day trip that was inexpensive.We found Cancun to be to built up and commercial for our liking, We go to Jamaica every Feb. and like it so much better.

Concerning the Melia Cancun Beach and Spa Resort (not the Melia Turquesa): my husband and I stayed there at the end of March '95--we absolutely loved it. The beach in front of the hotel was gorgeous and was cleaned every night, the pools were beautiful altho we never used them 'cus we loved the warm Caribbean so much, the room were very nice, but we would get an ocean-view next time--lagoon view was not so great. The balconies were completely private which we really liked. The fitness center was state-of-the-art and very beautiful--several treamills, bikes, weights, tvs in the ceiling. We ate our brunch every morning at the Quetzal restaurant right on the premises. The service for the rooms and in the restaurant and the front desk was wonderful. The location was great--only about a 10 min. bus ride from the "happening" end of town. There were no spring breakers in the hotel. Needless to say, we loved the Melia. We visited the Ritz and the Marriott--nice, but we preferred the Melia. We also stayed in '96 at the Caesar Park--quite a toss-up between the two--the C.P. was just as nice--bigger pool area, but we prefer the ocean. I preferred the fitness ctr at the Melia. We would definitely stay at either place again. Have fun!!

We stayed at Camino Real 2 years ago and plan on staying there again in February, 1998 for a week. We loved it there and can't see staying anywhere else. We've been doing a lot of homework on Cancun and places to stay, etc. etc..... Nothing seems to be better than Camino Real. The beaches are excellent and more secluded and private than others on the hotel zone, the locations is perfect, right on the elbow, close to shopping etc. Staff and service was perfect. Excellent place to stay.

does anyone have a opinion on the cancun sheraton hotel? i remember it as very nice from the early '80s. i would like to take the family there for may of 1998. thank you. lisa

WE STAYED AT THE WESTIN REGIN--IT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND THE SERVICE WAS GREAT!! ALSO, HAVING THE POOL ON TH LAGOON SIDE IS NICE!!
