A quick note to let others know of what we found for our Cancun wedding Group that saved us time, worries and money. We just got married in Cancun Mexico. We used a company there called CancunPartyCharters.com for everything. They were recommended by friends. Our group of 150 people were treated like kings from the time we arrived. They took care of our rooms, Catamaran charter, the complete Wedding and even transportation. I think they are great. We called 1-888-348-2371 or 1-888-335-1996 and that was the start of a great, stress free time. Cheers, Lori... read more

We hopped an early bus bound for Cancun, stopping in Playa del Carmen to stroll the busy and touristy 5th avenue for the last time. It doesn't seem so horrible now, as we are accustomed to the vendors and hawkers and just ignore them. My Spanish is better now too, so I feel comfortable looking in stores and telling them I don't want what they have without feeling afraid or intimidated. They really are agressive though. The crowds aren't too bad in the morning. We are trying to savor every last moment we have here. In Cancun, the hotel has screwed up our reservation, so we don't stay where we had planned. They sent us to their sister resort - and we spend what is left of our last day here at a fancy expensive all-inclusive......the ... read more

Nothing, and I mean nothing, beats sitting on a rocky cliff overlooking an ocean whose color and clarity is stunning, with a cocktail in hand as its effects slowly trickle through your system! Its like a rip of a sheet of paper that I have to pick up from here within the hour knowing I will shortly be hanging out in Houston International Airport. I honestly could sit here all day and write away in my little notebook. Why this is happening now on my last minutes to take advantage is a good question. Maybe Gauguin and Hemmingway experienced this and its why they never left their islandy paradises. The sound of the crashing see-through blue waves does something to me. Yesterday, after waking up at a leisurely 10am I wandered into the 'real' Cancun and ... read more

I thought i'd lump Cozumel, Playa Del Carmen and Cancun into the one entry, since they're all pretty much similar towns full of American tourists, with prices quoted everywhere in US dollars, despite them being in Mexico. We couldn't get accommodation in Playa Del Carmen at short notice, so had to hitch a ferry ride to Cozumel to stay in a hotel there. There was very little going on in Cozumel, which is pretty much set up for the cruise ship people and day trippers from the Mexican mainland. Did manage to find a sports bar which was showing the soccer and had cheap beers, so settled into a few buckets of those and scored ourselves a free tshirt each. Arrived on New Years Eve in Cancun and settled into our hotel before hitting the beach ... read more
