well we originally booked a week in maldives but are now struggling to get the money together in time cut of date is 11th febuary and we have £3,700 left to pay :-( x

so allthought im absolute devostated i have just been looking threw and stumbeled upon mexico
just been lookin and gettin prices of website who we have booked our hols wi and we can get a week all inc for either £1792 or £1698 so we'll only have to pay about £1k which is alot easier than the £3700 the place looks stunning.

now only issue is which hotel to stay in one is over 21's only but sounds a bit like a expensive swingers holiday club lol the other sounds and looks just as fab BUT it has kids there i wanted to go where there was no kids a proper full week with no kids screaming cryin running around just wanted to fully relax the two of us.

has anyone been or goin to cancun and if so where did/are u stayin? xxx

We're going to Mexico for our honeymoon. Never been before, but ask Barbie86 - she's an expert on Mexico!

Am I right in thinking that the first is the Riu Palace, and the second Temptation resort? If so, I would go with the Riu; Temptation is popular with young people and can get very lively, with drinking games etc. It isn't a swinger's resort exactly, but you can expect a lot of topless women, and a lot of s*x-orientated games eg strip teases, position games, and so on. I don't obv know what your tastes are, but this would not be my cup of tea full-stop, and certainly not for a honeymoon.

Other resorts I'd take a look at are: El Dorado Royale; El Dorado Casita Suites; BlueBay Grand Esmeralda (beach is not good though). Also maybe have a look at the DR; you can get some good deals there.

Any questions, let me know; been to Mx 3 times and am familiar with most resorts.

HTH

barbi im between Sensatori Resort Mexico and riu cancun hotel xxx i keep readin the beaches are small and teh sun gets blocked out at 2/2.30 by the tall buildings? x

barbi yerh that secong one is the temptations i didnt know untill i read reviews so were defo not gunna that one now lol x


weve booked with tompsons we goin on 22nd april 2012 for 7 days originally flyin from manchester but when i looked today it kept comin up with gatwick budget is around no more than £2k we allready paid £600 on maldives so gunna transfer it over x

thanks hun xxx

Also, they have loads for Cuba for under £2k for 8 nights, but departures from Manchester are 27/04. They have some fab deals though inc the Ibersotar Tainos in Varadero for £1728; or, you can get 15 nights at the Blau Costa Verde for £1862 (beaches are amazing!); they also have others inc the Sol Rio Luna y Mares for under £2k for 15 nights (I've stayed there and really liked it). No idea if you can go a bit later, but again, might be worth considering seeing as you get an extra week (and because it's all inc, you won't need any more spending money)

ok update been and transfered over today were goin to sansatori resort mexicofor a week tiny bit down as for £500 extra could got 2 weeks but that £500 makes a hugh diff for next 4 weeks so anyway were goin for one week all inclusive cant wait x

Do you mind me asking... Im going to mexico also and have paid full amount and going on 5th april. If I wanted to transfer to a different hotel is it too late now? Have boked with t cook tHANKYOU X

Please think really carefully about the dolphin swim. These programmes are really cruel, the animals aren't bred in captivity, many of them are taken from the wild, and some are killed or suffer a lot of trauma in the process. The enclosures are in no way big enough for them, and human interaction on a daily basis can lead to things like disease and infection, and some of the tricks they do (eg getting out of the water a lot) can give them sores.

We did one in the DR despite people advising us against it, and I still regret it, and wish I hadn't been so selfish and pig-headed. It was not nice seeing them in small enclosures (and the facility in the DR is WAY better than most in Mexico in terms of size, how they treat the animals, etc), and I felt horrible contributing to the business.

There are places where you can see and swim with dolphins in the wild, inc Egypt and Hawaii, and I wish we'd waited.

If you want to do it, that's up to you; but I think any true animal lover will just find the whole thing depressing.
