It's time for a long-awaited vacation, thinking where to fly, the choice fell on Mexico. The hotel was chosen based on reviews. Tour operator Pegasus.
Flight.
Of course, the flight is very long. But since we internally prepared ourselves for what would be hard, everything turned out not so scary. Pegasus is very disappointing. Passengers were not even given blankets and pillows, I am silent about socks and sleep masks. They fed badly. We flew at about 13:00.
Upon arrival, organizational moments, as elsewhere, were met, put on buses and taken to the hotel.
Hotel.

Incomparable!!!!! ! The reception is simply mesmerizing, like a piece of the jungle. Almost everyone had problems with the settlement. We got a room that was being renovated. BUT, they changed everything and everyone instantly and without surcharges. The hotel is just super, big, beautiful area. There is a gym, small, but enough to keep fit (for free). Huge swimming pool, tennis court ($10 per hour), bars, restaurants, 2 night clubs.
Animation.
How do you like the circus du Soleil in the hotel? ! Of course, this is not him, but in terms of entertainment and scope, they are about the same. We did not expect such a show.
Food.
For every taste. Everything is very tasty and varied. Do not even hope, you will not remain hungry).
Sea.
But this is the most important thing. It's breathtaking when you see it, it's beyond words how beautiful it is. The hotel has about 1200 rooms, but on the beach it seems like there are 100-200 of them, very spacious. The sea is azure, with waves, very warm. The sand is white-white. Story!
City.
We have traveled many times. Transport is excellent. We went to the Walmart supermarket (tequila at good prices), to the shopping centers of Kukulkan, La Isla (this is an area with shops separated by canals, with a beautiful promenade) and to the market for gifts and souvenirs (near the market there are famous discos Coco bongo, Hard rock).
Tours.

This item should be mandatory in your program. Going to Mexico, we decided to rent a car and see everything. But Pegasus again behaved disgustingly, this is their bread, of course, but not in the same way. At a meeting with the guide, they began to intimidate us, they said in no case should we go ourselves, that the police here are worse than ours (may the traffic police officers forgive me). Having stopped, they definitely won’t let you go, but they stop everyone for no reason. That, when they see a car with red numbers (all cars for rent have red numbers), they broadcast it to everyone on the radio and you will be unhappy. We are experienced travelers and we know that scaring tourists is the norm, BUT, a Russian young man, a cat, appeared at the information meeting. lives in Mexico and began, as if of good will, to help us all, to tell all the same things. Of course, we are not cowardly, but we do not want to rush into the embrasure while on vacation. Excursions are not cheap, and for a start we decided to take one, the famous Chiche Itza. The organization was terrible, a stuffy bus, a lot of people, all running and running and a guide who, apparently, googled information before the trip and that's it. Having “enjoyed” the comfort from Pegasus, we stopped with excursions in the group. As a result, we, almost at the end of the holiday, rented a car (rent $ 40 per day, across the street from the hotel). This is a real buzz, the police never stopped us, although there are posts at every turn. The guys told us that they even showed them the way. The main thing is not to break the rules and everything is OK). The route we had chosen in advance, first we went to Akumal, snorkeled and looked at the huge turtles, cat. they lay their eggs there. Then we went to the Grand Synod (a must see) and our last stop was Coba with the magnificent Mayan pyramids. To our great regret, we decided to take a car a few days before departure and did not physically have time to go anywhere else. Everything that we saw is striking in its beauty, its spirit, its grandeur. Be sure to visit Shkaret, we didn’t have time, but they say it’s insanely cool.
Outcome.
Mexico is a fairy tale, having been in which you will fall in love with it forever.
