A mate's just got back from the Maldive's on honeymoon and they got an upgrade on the way out there. Wear smart casual and if there's seats available it shouldn't be a problem. Free Champers and decent food all the way :beers: Title: Next years holiday Post by: Sippo on Wednesday, July 27, 2005, 22:00:26 Not as good as my hol:

you are staying about 5 miles away from where i am going to buy a place, tulum. make sure you go there its fuckin lush and go not just to the ruins but go further down the beach its only got about 20 people on it and has a couple of amazing bars withs swings/hammocks where you can sip a cold corona all day. also check out chichen itza, mayan temples deep in the jungle absolutely amazing and also try diving in the cenotes{underground caves). if you leave your site there is a main road outside {there is only one main road} and a bus goes frequently by, hail it and go into playa de carmen for nightlife, the bus is really nice and dirt cheap. any other tips let me know, this is my manor!!!

Haven't been down to Tulum, but will be doing so when we visit in January/ February. Agree too that Chichen Itsa is worth a visit. Tip there is not to pay for a tour as there are so many going on that you can join someone else's for free ! The other tip is that 1000s of coaches arrive after lunch, so get there in the morning. That is of course if you drive. However, if you do drive then there is a hefty charge on the toll road (Its not worth going on the back roads !!!).
We're probably going to stay at the Gala Resort in Playa Del Carmen. Went there 2 years ago and thought it was fantastic. Tried the Crown Paradise in Cancun last year and wasn't so impressed - I don't like big resorts which Cancun is. Unless Mex can recommend a better posh all inclusive place that caters for young kids and runs a kids club from 9am until 10pm ?

We can cancel but cos we never really had a hooneymoon when we got married (couldn't afford it) i always said within 2/3 years i would take Mrs Magic to Mexico etc. If we was going for just a holiday what you have recomended i would do as it sounds ace and cheap. One of my friends went out there early in the year and said the Temple's, chichen itza and the caves were all amazing. She also went to Coco Bongos and said it's an excellent night out.

Title: Next years holiday Post by: Mexicano Rojo on Friday, July 29, 2005, 18:53:45 last time i left mexico city airport customs stopped me, they searched my bag and pulled out 2 litres of mescale, conversation went as follows
- why do you have 2 lires? - because thats all uk customs will allow -but why only 2 litres? -uk customs will only allow 2 litres -but you have a 10 hour flight, surely you get drink another 2? - :D |
