I'm currently at hotel zone in cancun, mexico. I just finished a really good book and going crazy trying to get my hands on the sequel of the next book. I was wondering if anyone knew if there is a American Bookstore around here?

Thanks inadvance

hi

a couple of my friends want to go to Cancun during thanksgiving time (late november)

They are looking for a good price hotel that is safe and walking distance to a lot of activities.

what are your recommendations?
they found a hotel + air package from expedia for $1295. is that good?

thanks

I keep seeing all of these great things about this place and I've been to Playa several times, but I've never noticed it. I will be going in August 2008 and I was hoping that someone could give me a hint about where it is located. I really want to surprise my boyfriend and take him there.

Also, I read about Moon and he loves techno and rooftop patios. Is this place easy to find as well?

Any information would be helpful. This is his congratulations on graduating law school trip, so I want to really spoil him!!!

I've been to Cancun, but not to Cozumel. My boyfriend would like to go to Cozumel (he dives, I don't). My question is this: is there enough to do in Cozumel if you don't dive? How is the nightlife? I know it won't be like Cancun, but is there still plenty to do at night - and are the bars open all night?

Hi there,

We will be coming to visit Isla Mujeres late November 2008 and are wondering if anyone can give us information on two places that we are considering staying at.
1st place is: Casa Ixchel, it's a smaller place about 1 mile from the ferry. It looks and sounds great according to their website.
2nd place is: Casa Maya. They have budget rooms which makes the price very attactive.
If anyone has stayed at any of these two places, we would love to hear what your experience good/or bad.
Also, does anyone have a recomendation for a great place to stay preferably close to North Beach.
Thanks for your help.

We will be one day visitors at the end of August, 2008. We'll be on a cruise which gets off at Calica (Playa del Carmen). We'd love to visit Tulum ruins, and are thinking of renting a car, seeing the ruins with a guide, then doing a bit of beach time.

We're Mormon, and we've heard there are a few Mormon tour guides available. Anyone have any contact information at all, or any advice on how to get one of these guys?

Thanks in advance!

How did you find how to buy tickets at walmart for these activities. It would really help. thanks.

Hi, I need to travel from Chetumal, Quintana Roo to Cancun and I was wondering if there is a bus service or shuttle service that would transport me. What are my alternatives? How long would the ride be and how much would it cost approx.?

Thank you

Hi,

Thanks

I was wondering if there are any storms headed to the Playa del Carmen area from June 30th - July 7th? I know the normal chance of thunderstorms, but was checking to see if anyone heard of any tropical type storms. I am getting married on the beach on July 6th and was curious.

Thanks

I will be going to Rui Maya Riviera Resort in Playa del Carmen Mexico, in just about a week. I would like to know are there any nice deserted beaches, (I understand due to the date there may be many tourists there) I would like to find so empty beaches to take some photos. Does most of the beaches belong to private resorts making walking them hard? I have never been before so any info about the beaches or indeed about playa del Carmen would be great!

Thank you

Hi, I am planning to stay at the Oasis Cancun in July. I have read some negative reviews, unfortunately this is the only resort available in my price range. Has anyone stayed here recently?

Hello I am going to Cancun for the first time with my family next month Early in July. I am 19 and outgoing and was wondering what there is too do. Also i will be with some family my age and wanted to know what bars or clubs were good to check out.

We are going to Cancun in couple of day and will be staying at The Royal Cancun for a week. We are planing to do about 2 tours and some shopping, nothing too crazy. Just wondering if we should bring all cash (US$) as I read that credit cards are not safe to use. Are ATM`s ok and would hotels usually have the machines, just in case we run out of cash.
What is the average cost of tours (Chichen Itza, COba, Tulum).

Thanks everyone!

I am planning to rent a car to drive from Cancun Airport to Tulum. I have a $82/week quote for an economy car from Herts. I have not driven in that part of Mexico and I would like to know how is the driving between Cancun and Tulum? How long does it take? Are he rental cars reliable? Do I need insurance? I am staying at Cabanas La Luna in Tulum and I would like to know how are the beaches? is the water clear? I heard that in cancun there is lots of weeds?

Gracias

Thanks

When is the best time to go to Cancun this year still? I like it hot, but Im scared about the hurricanes. Anyone have any advice?

Hey all - I'm 35 yr old guy travelling from South Africa to Playa - hoping to get in some awesome dives, make some new friends and have a fairly good party.. Gonna be there from 1 July for a week. Anybody out there maybe also travelling alone and want to team up while there - let me know...

We are planning a 7-day trip, 6 people, two of whom are teenagers. Staying at Krystal International Vacation Club. Several questions:

1. Do we need to rent car? Planning to visit ruins, swim with dolphins. Best alternate forms of transport?

2. Swim with dolphins - seen ads for this, though my teenagers might like. Is it worth it?

3. Fishing - I love this but seems expensive to go out with the big boys. Any suggestions for an affordable trip, with good potential for success? Best places?

4. Krystal Cancun - what is this place like? Anyone stay there before?

Hey, I am going to Cancun for the first time next month and I have heard that it is beautiful. however I am concerned about the weather. I looked up the weather and it was about 80-90F with scattered thunder storms. I was wondering if anyone could inform me about the weather conditions around early July and how bad are these scattered storms?

Thank You

Help!!! We booked a snorkeling trip for Cozumel through our hotel in Cancun. We want to use the same "snorkeling boat company" next time we go. I thought we could find out the name of the snorkeling company from the hotel where we booked our tour, but they said they couldn't get the information. If I had known that I would have gotten the name of the snorkeling company while on the boat. All I remember is that guide said they had 3 boats, one was named Samantha II. Does anyone know how I can find out the name of the snorkeling company? Thank you and happy vacationing!
