Fair play, that does look absolutely amazing. Ive always wanted to go somewhere like that since the I saw the Shawshank Redemption for the first time.

If you're want an upgrade, tell check-in you've just got married.

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

magic serious advice, can you cancel? and anyone else going out that way take heed, get flights only for about £400-500 pound to cancun, stay in your own beach cabana for a fiver a night and you can access the resorts for the day for about £10 including all facilities, you will end up saving about £1500. sorry magic.

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!!!

Agree with Mex that the Mayan Riviera is absolutely gorgeous. 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 ?
