We're going back to our timeshare in Cancun in late April and plan to visit Chichen Itza. Have read in Fodor's that the 1st class buses are comfortable and safe and thought we'd take the bus to Piste, stay at the Dolores Alba hotel and return the next day. A friend had heard that the bus ride is an unpleasant grueling 4 hour trip. What can you advise? <BR>Don

Hello, <BR> <BR>My freind and I are going to Cancun March 1st, we have there before but not in a while. I am undecided about where to stay. We have stayed at the Marriot but it is sold out for that weekend. My other choices are the Melia, Le Meridien, Fiesta Americana Coral Beach, Fiesta Americano Cancun and the Hyatt Regency. I prefer to be close to the action, fun, spa and nice atmosphere. Also, no little children running around. Preferable newly remodeled. <BR> <BR>What can you suggest??? <BR> <BR>Thanks, <BR>Sabina

I am visiting Cancun March 8-13, 2001, and have a couple of questions. First, do you know of any special events scheduled during that time (i.e. how to get into MTV's concerts and shows, etc). And second, what are your thoughts on driving to Chichen-Itza? Is it safe? Is there parking once you get there? Admission fees? I am going to investigate your tour recommendation as well, but I've really enjoyed driving around the during my past trips to Mexico.

Hi, Tommy, <BR> My boyfriend and a good friend of ours will be heading back to Cancun Palace for Spring Break the first week of March. Last year, we had such a great time at the hotel that we only went out one night (for the booze cruise)! We're going to try to go out more this year, so I was wondering which clubs you'd recommend. Also, last year we did a jungle tour, and we were kind of disappointed that we didn't get to snorkel for longer. Do you know of any companies that do just snorkeling trips? Thanks for all your help! <BR> <BR>Emily

Can you help me with choosing between Omni Cancun and Moon Palace. I would like to know which is the better all inclusive resort.

latoya Feb 14th, 2001 10:23 AM

hi tommy. Can you help with choosing between the Omni Cancun and Moon Palace. Which is the better all inclusive? Is the beach at the Moon Palace as bad as everyone says?

hi all just wanted to add something here i just returned from a WONDERFUL trip to cancun i stayed at the moon palace sunrise! it was great we spent 8 days 7 nights there and it was great! yes the beach was nice but not as nice as the other beaches on the hotel zone. but the pool is so magnificent that nobody really cared about the seaweed in ocean. but the great thing is if you stay at 1 palace resort you get to use ALL 6 for free! so if you really want the beach you can take the free shuttle from the moon palace and go to the cancun,beach or sun palace and lay at their beach its beautiful over there! we payed only $2900 for 2 including the airfare! it was the most for your money! just think you have all those resorts to use and over 20 restaurants to choose from who can beat that??? plus you get 2 free tours and a manicure, pedicure and a massage for each of you check out the website i booked from www.cancunandyou.com have a great trip!

Hi, finally someone who know's the scoop! I'm single and will be traveling alone, I have traded my timeshare for one in Cozumel. Can you give me any suggestions to my basic thoughts: my timeshare is from April 28th - May 5th, I thought rather than fly into Cozumel, which is more expensive I would fly into Cancun. I would like to see the Chichen Itza ruins, so I thought maybe I would fly in on Thurs the 26th and taxi it ti Cancun near the bus station. I would like to see the ruins at night as well as day, are there such tours? I could then take a bus to Playa de Carmen and ferry to Cozumel. The other tours south of Cozumel I could book from Playa Del Carmen. The I guess Taxi back to the airport? So any info/tips you can supply me with would be helpful. I'm also a blue eyed blonde and was told it is not safe to rent a car when traveling alone? I though car would have been best inoreder to see the ruins. Thanks Bobbie

Hi Tommy, you helped me once before with some questions about going to Cancun. Anyway, we're not planning our trip approximately around Oct/Nov. It will be my husband and I, and our 2 teenage boys (16&17) We definitely wanted an all inclusive, and were thinking about Cancun Palace. Can you give me your thoughts, as we would want something where the boys can pretty much do their own thing (boogie boarding) in clam waters, and we can do our own thing. I thought about Cancun Palace, Omni and Grand Carrib.; Royal. What do you think about these choices, we definitely want an all inclulsive (conservatively priced), good location, calm, beautiful beach, with stuff to do on the resort as well, although, not over run with small children. Thanks again for your help tommy. [email protected]

Tommy, <BR>Do you have any information on the Omni Cancun Hotel and Villas (rooms, facilities, beach, etc.)? Thanks for your help! <BR>

Kelly Mar 9th, 2001 06:53 AM

Tommy has not responded to anyone since January 27, 2001. I would not post anything to this message board anymore, but open a new message.

Margie Mar 12th, 2001 02:23 PM

Kelli Mar 12th, 2001 04:29 PM

Hi Tommy, <BR> <BR>I am using a timeshare trading service to go to Cancun and my choices are the following: The Royal Sands, The Royal Islander, The Royal Caribbean, The Royal Mayan, Club Internacional de Cancun, Omni Cancun, Club Baccara, Beach Palace, Blue Paradise Resort and Club Casa Maya. <BR> <BR>We have to pick a 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice. What do you recommend. We are looking for a nice but very fun and lively/party atmosphere. (not too many young children). <BR> <BR>Thanks!!
