Mexico Part 3

written: Sept 14, 2006

The hotel zone is the area most travelers prefer to stay. With all the most luxurious hotels and to the beautiful Caribbean Sea, it is a good place to choose from. Beside that, its location and roads are accessible to transportations. If you don’t want any hassle or not to walk by far, taxi is the way to go and its not expensive as the fare in the US are. Riding a bus is not so bad. There are many in the area. It is safe, clean and very cheap. The shopping areas are near too. You can pick for luxury branded items shopping at Plaza Kukulcan or the La Isla Shopping Village for others but majority has similar goods. At night if you would like to party, shop and eat Forum by the Sea is a good place to hang with. It’s pretty very much noisy and crowded. They called the area ‘The Little Las Vegas’.


We stayed at Royal Islander. It has other four resorts the Royal Caribbean, Royal Mayan, Royal Sands and Royal International. It’s a private club for timeshare owner. We had our own villa with an oceanfront view and it was incredible. The scenery at the veranda was outstanding. We could see the shoreline and other hotels. Your eyes can see near and far the turquoise water, hear the splashing of the waves and smell of the fresh ocean breeze. It was the best room ever.


We had a day tour at Kukulkan, “Chichen Itza” where the famous ruins of El Castillo. It was hot that day but we had fun at the site. Not only we did explore places we did with our taste buds as well. We had a few times to eat out and we had the chance to dine at the resorts restaurants Caya Largo and Pacos Tacos. At Plaza Forum by the Sea, Cambalache the Argentine Steak House was good. Our last night dinner in a fine dining romantic restaurant at Puerto Madero was awesome followed by an entertainment at Hacienda Sisal at the Royal Sands. We had memorable days at Cancun and choosing it to spend for our first wedding anniversary was all worth it.
