Marty loved his stay in Aruba. He was home only a few days before heading off to the Iberostar Grand in the Riviera Maya. He said that while the entire resort was fantastic, the service and food were special. Terrah Had a wonderful time at THE Royal Cancun. Everyone who stays at that resort comes back raving about the beds. What's up with that? Lindsey had a great time at Excellence Riviera Maya. She said that she has never seen a spa like the one at the Excellence. It is amazing. Cathi and Philip spent a few relaxing days at El Dorado Seaside Suites, South of Playa del Carmen. This resort is special to them because it was the first resort their friends, Joe and Dolores Martinez, ever built. While in Mexico, Philip and Cathi were honored to attend the blessing of the new El Dorado Moroma. They also did a quick site inspection of the new infinity suites at El Dorado Royale. Joe and Dolores out did themselves with these two new additions. |

Inside InformationAM resorts sold their resorts to an investment group that Includes Barcelo Resorts. AM Resorts will remain the management company for these resorts. Look for AM Resorts to use this cash to build new resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean.Tracey, one of our sources at Apple Vacations, tells us that Riu Vallarta now offers an adult pool. She also says that the Casino at the Holiday Inn Montego Bay has closed indefinitely. Allegro Cozumel will close from January 12th to mid April. El Dorado Maroma has officially opened, FINALLY! |
The internet has become one of our main sources of information in this day and age. Need the phone number for a hairstylist? A chicken recipe for dinner tonight? Just Google it! While the internet is a great and easy way to swap information and communicate with one another, you may want to think twice before you call on it to be your travel advisor.
While planning your next vacation, this inevitable and tricky question is likely to come up..."What's better- an all-inclusive resort or a mainstream cruise ship?" After examining both vacation choices, the conclusion is that it all depends on the type of vacation you're envisioning. Do you want a whirlwind of excursions, nice dinners and multiple islands? Or would you rather sunbathe at the pool and sleep in a luxurious hotel room? There are perks and drawbacks to both all-inclusive resorts and cruises. Once you look at the pros and cons of each vacation option, hopefully you'll be able to make the correct decision to fit your traveling style.
