Cancun was absolutely beautiful! The ocean was so blue and there
were plenty of things to do to keep you busy. The people there were
exceptionally friendly. We had the time of our lives in Cancun.
You get to Cancun from the U.S.A by plane. Once we got there
our travel tour company brought us to our hotel by bus. If you weren't on a
trip run by a tour company then you would have to take a taxi.
The flight to Cancun from Atlanta only took about two hours.
We took a charter flight which turned out to be more comfortable than most
other flights I've been on. The hotel was very nice. The rooms were done
in a traditional Mexican style. The floors were tile and the walls stucco.
The hotel had a lot of open air lobbies and things like that. It was very
nice for a Mexican hotel, very clean.
The airplane food was very good for such a short flight. We
got sandwiches, fruit, and crackers. It was satisfactory. The hotel food
was OK. It was all buffet style and included a wide variety of items.
There were many restaurants to choose from in our hotel. Despite the number
of things to choose from, I never was really satisfied with the meals at our
hotel. The snacks were good, but I am used to more Americanized, plain
food.
There were a lot of things to do in Cancun. If you only have
one day there then you should definitely go on one of the snorkeling tours
that are offered. We went on one offered by AquaWorld, called the Jungle
Tour. The Jungle Tour was so awesome, the snorkeling was great. If you
have more than one day, go to the flea market, and to Daddy O's, and Senor
Frogs if you are in for a wild time. The malls are kind of overpriced, but
still fun to go in and look around.
The pool at Royal Solaris was great! It had a nice swim-up bar.
The pool was absolutely huge. There were actually four pools, and they
were all nice. The hotel offered many activities like water aerobics and
other stuff like that. They also had a nice gym where they offered a
variety of activities, but I never really got to do any of that while I was
there.
I don't really know if there was a babysitting service....I'm
only 20 years old. There were a lot of kids around though. They were in
the pool, on the beach. There were even some kids on the snorkeling tour
with their parents.
