Fantastic Cancun

Fidelma Brady 02 November 2012
I recently had a fantastic opportunity to travel to Cancun, a destination I have sold quite frequently so seeing it first-hand has been such an overwhelming experience for me. It is blessed with some of the nicest beaches I have ever seen. The deepest and bluest coloured ocean combined with white sand makes it a must-see destination for honeymooners, couples and families alike. To top it off I found the people so hospitable to visitors and to each other. It was so refreshing to experience it.

I normally wouldn’t mention specific hotels but the ones below deserve a mention as they made this trip so wonderful – the hospitality was second to none. Secrets Silversands was a property I loved. It’s an adult’s only property, contemporary in style but with the biggest rooms you could imagine for the best price! There are eight restaurants and eight bars, all so different in style and it’s a fun resort.

Wow best describes the 5* Secrets Maroma Beach and Spa Hotel. It’s located on what many consider the best beach in this area. It’s a perfect property for honeymooners and couples wanting personal service and facilities that are simply stunning. I loved the atmosphere from the moment I walked in the door- it’s a winner all the way.

Dreams Riveria Cancun is suitable for couples, families and groups and is located on a beautiful beach with rooms to match. I simply loved this relaxed resort. The lobby area is stunning and the buzz in this hotel is great with live music and a nightclub. Another option is Secrets; The Vine. Located in Cancun centre, it is a fabulous option for those who want to be located close to shopping and nightlife. The hotel is chic and its location on a white sandy beach is stunning.

For those who like to escape for a few nights to an intimate boutique hotel, the Zoetry Paraiso De La Bonita is the one to choose. It is very special, with all oceanfront suites overlooking the blue waters of Mexico.

This area of Mexico has the Mayan Ruins of Tulum close by and Xcaret - the archaeological park located in Riviera Maya, Cancun. You can swim with dolphins and in underground rivers, experience the local wildlife and take in a show. It’s a great day out for everyone. Cancun has a fantastic club called Coco Bongo, it’s something I have never experienced before and it has to be seen to be believed!

For me Cancun was a great destination and I can’t wait to go back one day soon!
