Just returned from Mexico, I want to share my impressions, suddenly it will come in handy for someone... So. March, 1st to 10th. Weather - about 26-29 in the afternoon, in the morning and in the evening 23-25. Yes, and at this time of year it gets dark as early as 6.30pm! so life starts early in the morning. . .
The hotel is excellent, although not without minuses (the minus is a tiny beach, but it is also a plus)
And now in order. We were flying from New York, so it didn't take long to get there - only a 3 hour flight, and OP-LA, we're in Mexico! I’ll make a reservation right away that we refused the transfer in advance and ordered a small car for rent, which was already waiting for us at the airport! paid only $220 for 8 days of renting a car (including insurance) and in the end we were very satisfied, because the roads turned out to be beyond praise, even free tracks, absolutely safe (around, literally on every corner, the police) and we were not tied to to any tourist schedules and expectations, at any second they could go wherever they wanted! very comfortably! There is a lot of space for car parking on the territory of the Hotel, no extras. You don’t need to pay for this, but in cities and towns, as well as all kinds of sightseeing places, such as Chichen Itza, Tulum, Playa del Carmen, Coba - everywhere there is either free parking, or paid, but very inexpensive, from 2 to 5 Amer . dollars per day.
Hotel. Number. We lived in building 16, the windows did NOT overlook the pool, and the room was VERY, just VERY quiet, only the cries of birds were heard, and that's all. I couldn't hear my neighbors or people from the streets. We, in principle, are unpretentious people, our room was simple, but quite large for two - two large beds, a huge bathroom-toilet-shower, and VERY clean. cleaned every day, bedding and towels changed every day, a pack of fresh coffee was put every day (portion for two, a coffee maker, although weak, in the room), water was also added to the refrigerator all the time, a mini-bar is included in the price and you pay for it separately at the end, don't). . . I dragged shampoo, shower gel, paper napkins with me.... but, as it turned out, in vain - what was in the room was quite acceptable in quality. Insects were observed only at night on the street, BUT few (mosquitoes), for all the time without any means of protection, not a single bite. The only thing that was slightly unpleasant was that the room did not have a mosquito net on the balcony door, and I really wanted to open the door in the evening... after all, evenings and mornings in March are wonderful, not hot....but oh well. Yes, I forgot to say, they left the dollar on the bed, not even because they wanted everything to be better removed (somehow they forgot to leave it, but everything was changed and removed without it), but simply because it’s a pity for the Meks - they live very poorly, very, very....but they try, take care of the entire territory beyond praise.
Nutrition. If you are not exclusively attached to some super dishes and delicacies, then the food is very good in the Buffet. I will say more, we had enough of all the diversity that we safely missed our legal 4 trips to restaurants on the territory. fruit was (a lot) every day and bananas, pineapples, papaya tasted very different from what they sell in New York. All kinds of dishes from vegetables, beans... fish, meat - quite tasty and varied (shrimps, mussels, and other seafood - not super tasty, but nothing like that)....Next - coffee in the morning in Thermoses on the table in the buffet - DAMNING, BUT!! ! there is a huge coffee machine in the corner, and take as much coffee as you like from it (tasty, strong). Yes, the cocktails are mediocre, and I'm tired of ice in juices (no matter how you ask, they put it anyway) . . but this is not a big problem either.
The hotel itself is beautiful, quiet, comfortable and VERY CLEAN. wash everything and all the time. There are a lot of people, but somehow it does not interfere and does not irritate, perhaps because the hotel has a huge territory. I must say right away (I was surprised) - there are very, very many Russians. I got the impression that a third of Russians, a third of Americans (that's really noisy people), well, and a third of all the rest... Endless iguanas on the paths (just be careful not to step on or stumble). terribly noisy black birds, I don’t know their names, but they were constantly clamoring and noisy and indignant and were always present everywhere. pelicans, some herons and frigates flew to the beach to hunt, as the beach is a small natural lagoon, and there are MANY fish and fish in the water. BTW, the beach is both a plus of this hotel and a minus. For my husband there was a minus - the beach is TOO, just very small. But for me it was good due to the fact that there were almost no waves on it, although I am an excellent swimmer, I don’t like to swim in the waves. and on the open beaches the waves were decent. But, again, we had a car at hand, and we went to Akumal beach (15 minutes from the hotel by car) - that's where the expanse is! parking there is free, the beach is also public - i. e. free, and lots and lots of space. Snorkeling is excellent - you don’t even have to pay a guide to take you from the shore on a boat - it’s so shallow everywhere that it’s not a problem to sail yourself and look at the endless corrals, colorful fish, and, of course, turtles !! ! beauties are huge, sailing to this shore to lay eggs. Yes, it is best to watch the turtles early in the morning, while there are few people. Indescribably beautiful!
Next, a few words about the Eshkaret park, where the hotel is located. WE really regretted that we went there (advertising of the park made itself felt). we didn’t see anything new and interesting for ourselves after the nature of our hotel in the park itself. The only impression is the show, really colorful....Well, the descent along the underground river is also nothing. Everything else is NOT WORTH it to pay $78 per person to visit the park (by the way, we were given a $30 discount for agreeing to take a tour of the hotel and hear about the Royal Club program. We didn’t need it at all, but $30 a discount on the park - this is essential for us, and all the employees took turns getting it - let's go, we'll show (they have the right to show only once, they don't bother anymore) And the park... everything that is in the park - iguanas, nature , parrots, you can also see in our hotel. well, butterflies, dolphins and flamingos are nothing exotic, they have seen before, so is there any point in paying money? it’s better then to spend it on something else. Well, this is ONLY OUR OPINION with my husband probably to each his own.
Well, sort of, and everything about the hotel and its surroundings. Ask anyone who is interested. We were satisfied. Even more. And I want more and more. . .
