Cancún Traveling with a wheelchair
Posted: Sun November 8, 2009 12:52 AM UTC
I would like suggestions for tours, (waterpark info), or any information that you think would be helpful to me to get the most out of Cancun. I use a travel scooter that breaks down and can be put on shuttles or taxis and I can walk short distances or my husband can carry me up a few steps. I can swim.

Also most helpful would be things that I CANNOT do or places that I should avoid.

Playa del Carmen Please reccomend a good, moderately priced restaurant near 5th Avenue in Playa
Posted: Sat November 7, 2009 03:19 PM UTC
My wife and I will be staying in a resort not far from Playa Del Carmen. We want to take a taxi to 5th Avenue, walk around and have some Mexican food. I have been to Playa before (I love this town). Obviously, there are lots of restaurants along 5th Avenue, but wanted to get people's recommendations on the good one since some of these restaurants are the typical tourist traps (bad food, high prices).

Cancún Dirving Merdia Cancun area.
Posted: Tue October 27, 2009 06:06 AM UTC
Hi,
Has anyone any experience driving in the Merida/Cancun area using a TomTom for navigation. Understand the TomTom maps are somewhat sketchy in some parts of Mexico. Can anyone also recommend a reliable map of the area and where to obtain.
Any other tips re driving would be greatly appreciated. We are considering renting a car from "Cancun Car rental".

Playa del Carmen Snorkeling in Playa del Carmen
Posted: Tue October 20, 2009 07:00 AM UTC
Can someone please give me some advice how to choose a place for snorkeling around Playa del Carmen, Mexico? We do not have guys with us this time so we want to be somewhere safe. We are not sissies but we do not want to get ripped off just because we are blond. How much is it supposed to cost? Also what is the best way to see the Chichen Itza ruins? We do not want to rent a car. I have been to Tulum before and it was awesome so we are going back.

Is Coco Bongo a nightclub for adults only? I saw there are several shows. I am going to be coming to Canun in December with my children, ages 15 and 12. Would this be an appropriate place to visit with them? Thank you.

Cancún Umm, Midget Wrestling???
Posted: Fri October 9, 2009 05:54 PM UTC
Hi, im sure this a highly irregular question to ask but please bear with me..
A large party are about to descend on Cancun to attend a wedding there, and i have been reluctantly put in charge of organising the inevitable stag do.
The Groom is adamant that it be as wacky and 'far out' as possible, and i have heard of a mexican wrestling league in which the protaganists are 'little people' (trying to make this as politically correct as i can)!
I have also heard that said league is popular among the locals and highly entertaining..In short (pardon), I could'nt think of a better way to spend an alcohol induced evening!!
Any info would be really appreciated, or indeed any other suggestions you may have on how to entertain 25 inebriated Welshmen!! Cheers..

Tulum Transport in Tulum
Posted: Fri October 2, 2009 04:05 PM UTC
I'm going to be in the Tulum area for several weeks, and I'd like an opinion on transport options. Rather than renting a car for the whole period, is it realistic to get around by taxi or collectivo? I speak reasonable Spanish.
There is a possibility I might be able to borrow a car privately, but I have no idea what the insurance situation might be. Any advice? My own car insurance will definitely not cover me.

Playa del Carmen Is there cheap accomadation near Barcelo Maya Beach resort?
Posted: Thu September 24, 2009 02:22 PM UTC
Hi I have spent my last penny on getting to mexico to be at two very good friends wedding. So now I am completely broke in the middle of a recession with a ticket to Mexico and I need somewhere cheap to stay. In the past I have crashed with friends in their rooms, but everyone going are couples, so unless I meet someone who is willing to put me up for a few nights I'm stuck. (yeah - yeah I am the poor friend that spends his last dime and works 20 hrs a day).

Are there Cabanas or a hostel in walking distance to Barcelo Maya Beach resort?

I'm looking for a good, but not too expensive, day spa in Cozumel. Does anyone have any recommendations? I saw one named Spa Del Sol on 5th in Cozumel. It looked good. Does anyone know it? Thank you so much!

Playa del Carmen Day
Posted: Sun August 23, 2009 08:10 PM UTC
Could someone recommend a good day spa within a short ride from the cruise pier? We will be in town just for a day and I would like to have a great "spa day" without spending too much money (like on the ship). I found the Spa Del Sol in Cozumel online. It seems very reasonable. Is it a good place?

Thank you!

Estado de Quintana Roo Weather in late August
Posted: Sun August 23, 2009 04:04 AM UTC
We are going to the Mayan Riviera next week, and sure enough, the weather forecast is showing scattered t-storms during our entire stay, fromk 30% chance to 60%. What should I expect? Are the rains typically happening at one time of day, throughout the day? Are we going to be completely miserable? ;-)

Cancún Need info. regarding Hotel Status -
Posted: Sun August 16, 2009 06:45 PM UTC
It has been many years, since we have been back to Cancun. In the late 90's and early 2000's we stayed at a hotel called the " Carribean Village". Wonderful in all aspects. We are trying to plan a trip in November 09, and would very much like to stay there again. I do understand that the hotel had changed names(Occidental Grand/Occidental Carribean Village) and perhaps went thru a renovation.

We have contacted our local travel agencies, and they cannot offer any info. as to if this particular property has even reopend. Any current ionformation, as to status and current hotel name would be greatly appreciated.

Cancún Cancun/Riviera Maya in Jan/Febr - weather, beaches, pools etc
Posted: Fri July 31, 2009 07:43 PM UTC
Hi!

I visited Playa del Carmen years ago with a friend, but am now going with my family - husband and kids 7 and 3 years old (for about 12 nights). The children will of course want to spend a lot of the time in the pools/on the beach. My husband and I like quite nice resorts (4/5 stars) - where there are several pools and a choice of restaurants, good service. Hope to get some input on the following:

WEATHER: Will it be warm enough end Jan/beg Febr for the kids to be able to swim a lot without freezing? Dubai in the same time period in 2008 was NOT, so we promised them... Is the weather quite stable, I can take a day or two of not-so-good if the rest of the days are sunny and warm. I read about cold/chilly pools, do they not have heated pools?

BEACHES: We are considering the Ritz Carlton in Cancun, but heard that the beach in Cancun is in very bad condition/almost gone. True or has it been "rebuilt"? Are the beaches along Riviera Maya (for instance Playa del Carmen area) less damaged/better?

RESORTS: Any comments on the Ritz Carlton, we were planning on taking an Ocean View Suite? Or other suggestions in that price-range/level (the suite is about $ 700/night, $ 1050 for Club Level which includes some lighter meals? Not sure if we should go for an all inclusive instead. Having small children we tend to eat most meals on the resorts we stay at, going out only for the occasional meal or when going on excursions.

Thank you very much in advance for any help!

Cancún Chitchen Itza and Blue Cenote

Hi

Can't seem to find any info on the public bus to Chitchen Itza.

I would happily do a tour, but want to stop off at Blue Cenote and most non private tours do not do this.

I have been told to just go myself by public transport, but no idea of bust times/frequency etc.

Any help much appreciated as always

Isla Cozumel how's the weather?
Posted: Sun July 5, 2009 11:45 AM UTC
We arrive in Cozumel in two weeks time- can't wait! How's the weather at the moment? I've looked at alot of weather websites but all they say is things like "heavy rain showers" and they don't say if this means throughout the day, or just usually one heavy shower and then clear. Does anyone know?Anyone there right now? Am starting to think my holiday will be a weather washout!!

Cancún Cancun or Playa Del Carmen
Posted: Sun July 5, 2009 01:18 AM UTC
We are planning a trip to Cancun the week before Christmas for 7 days and be back by Christmas Eve. We are thinking about staying either at the Grand Caribe Resort & Spa (Blvd 11.5KM), or Barcelo Tucancun Beach in Cancun. Maybe even Gran Porto Real at PDC. Any advise from all your experience travellers? Is there any special activities going on during that time of the year?
