Hey Dean, <BR> <BR>Well I wouldn't worry to much. The Casa Magna has a policy against springbreakers plus it's probably too expensive for springbreakers to stay there. So it shouldn't be crazy. I would just say stay away from the streets in the evening. <BR> <BR>Tommy

Hey Jamie, <BR> <BR>Well if you go to another Palace resort I would say the Beach Palace is the family resort of the Palace resorts but if your going for the kids I highly suggest you check into the Crown Paradise. This is the number 1 family resort in Cancun. It has the only kids water park in Cancun. Great service and food. That might be your best bet. <BR> <BR>Tommy

Dear Tommy, Hopefully, you can ashed some light on my indecision. We are going to Cancun April 9 , (it seems that we miss spring break from what we read on your website, Hooray!!) We have been to the Sheraton and the Fiesta Americana Cancun . The FAC though somewhat limited in its facilities and amenities had a wonderful beach. shallow, clear and never andy waves, (its on the top of the seven). However, my menory of the Sheraton, ten years ago, was a black flag indicating dangerous swimming conditions everyday. Is this menore accurate, or was it just an unusual event? The hotel seems to have alot more going on, or at least its bigger. What do you know of the beach and the htel in general.. <BR> Thanks!!!!!!!!!

Hey esti, <BR> <BR>The Sheraton is a nice resort. The staff is very, very good and so is the food. The beach is very nice. The resort even has some small Mayan ruins on their grounds. I really would worry to much about the ocean. Most of the times I have been in Cancun it has been red flag but I have found that it is still okay to swim or snorkel in. You will get more waves there but in March and April the waves seem to be not as bad because these are the 2 driest months and not much weather activities to stur up th waves. <BR> <BR>Hope this helps <BR> <BR>Tommy

hey John, <BR> <BR>The Westin is one of the best resorts in Cancun. If you checkout my website I have a few pictures from there on a couple of my pages(trip report). The resort is known for it's Mexican decor and great service. The beach is very nice and there is some great snorkeling right off shore. As for getting around the buses will run by the resort about every 5 min so it's not hard to get around. 5 pesos will get you anywhere in town you want to go. <BR> <BR>Hope this helps <BR> <BR>Tommy

The weather in Feb. is great highs in the mid 80's lows in the 70's. Very little rain if any at all. The Cancun palace is my favorite Palace resort. It's definately a high energy resort. Great staff, service, beach and atmosphere. Make sure one of the tours you take is to Isla Mujeres. A great island to explore. <BR> <BR>Hope this helps <BR> <BR>Tommy

HI Tommy <BR>I am traveling to Playa Del Carmen and was considering staying in a bungalow. It is quite inexpensive. Why is this? Are they unsafe? Open to passersby or "creatures"? I realize this is not related to Cancun, but i was hoping you would be able to let me know what a Mexican bungalow was like. <BR>Thank you <BR>Sandy

Hey Sandy, <BR> <BR>Most small places in the Playa area can be very inexpensive. It doesn't mean that it's unsafe or not a nice place to stay. You have to remember these small hotels are having to compete with big mega resorts. If the bungalows are in Playa I seen some that were very nice and cost about $20 a night. <BR> <BR>Hope this helps <BR> <BR>Tommy

Hey Videophile, <BR> <BR>The Camino Real towers are very nice. Try to see if you can get a room as high as you can. The view from the top is amazing. As for day trips go to Xel-Ha and Tulum. Both beautiful places. As for my top 3 restaurants. <BR>1) Iguana Wana <BR>2) Captain's Cove <BR>3) Lorenzillo's <BR> <BR>Have Fun <BR> <BR>Tommy

hey! I'm spontaneously leaving for Cancun on 3 days. Been doing reading on Isla Majeres and think I want to spend as much time there as possible. I've read that the hotels are gone by noon. Has this been your experience.- Our plane arrives at 2:30-thinking maybe we should stay in Cancun first night. What do you think? We're doing budget travel so looking for safe but inexpensive any suggestions?

Hey Kathleen, <BR> <BR>I would say go ahead over to Isla Mujeres and get a place there. If you want a cheap place visit http://www.sundreamers.com/mim/home.htm <BR>Mary will take care of you they have several different properties to offer and very reasonable prices. <BR> <BR>Hope this helps <BR> <BR>Tommy

My husband and I are traveling to Cancun for the first time this February. We are staying at the Cancun Palace. The hotel does not provide transportation from the airport to their hotel. Is it a good idea to pre-book your round trip transporation (Airport-hotel,Hotel-airport) and so Which company offers the best prices? Or should we wait til we arrive at the airport to find our transportation?
